[QUOTE="Fangor the Fierce, post: 1609866, member: 17100"] Kevin was stopped just before he went inside by a small hooded person that asked his name. When he told him the stranger handed him an envelope. The card in the envelope talked about some Stonefist man and a school. Kevin showed the card to Jonathan who got a strange look in his eye. Jonathan said his training was over and that he should go to see Stonefist. With your newly acquired card, and your pack ready to go, Jonathan bids you well. With a look in his eyes that you are not sure of, he only says, [color=darkred]"Maximo is not one to ignore. He commands the greatest respect, and his heart is true. Listen to him and show him what you are made of. You have a long journey, as Springside is a ways off."[/color] He waits for you to finish packing, and when you are set, he approaches you, and hand you something very small. A ring. The ornaments on the ring are not very fashionable, but you do notice an inscription on the side that you can not read, as it is in a language foreign to you. [color=darkred]"This may come in handy, and though it is not much, you may still need it. It will help you when needed, and Maximo can tell you it's purpose if you ask."[/color] (Rolled 7 on Appraise) Setting out into the new day, you head south, towards the city of Springside. It will be a long journey, a full 8 days, and there is much to think about on your way. On the morning of the 8th day, you wake up in the small village of Bretonshire. Since your journey began, you have managed to get a few stories of Maximo in various towns where you stayed. He is known for slaying a great dragon, that threatened the region some 30 years ago. He now has gained enough fortune to start his academy, and train future heroes to look after the lands. You wake early, hoping to arrive at the city gates quickly, and before sunset. The journey is quiet, and there are very few people to cross on your road to Springside heading east now, as you rounded the mountains about a day and a half ago. As you near the end of the day, you see the gates. Their stature is great, standing at least 20 feet tall, and flanked by sentry towers standing another 10 feet higher. With a quickened step you near the gates when to your amazement, the short hooded figure that delivered your letter only 8 days ago, is suddenly sitting on a large rock, to the north side of the road. You could swear he wasn't there a minute ago. [color=darkred]"Ah, so it seems as though you are the first to arrive! Come, sit, we must wait for the others."[/color] With a motion to sit near the rock, the figure keeps his hood on, and whittles away at a piece of wood. [/QUOTE]
