The Continuing Adventures of Joe Adventurer. Episode I.
I was walking through San d'Oria, as I uaually do on Firesday, when I came across a young lad crying.
"Young man. What is it that has you in tears?"
"Oh, well it's just, hey wait you an adventurer aren't you?"
"Why, yes I am." I responded. The young lad began to explain a tale of woe and horror. He asked if I could help him.
"Of course young man." I bowed deeply and headed out of the city to meet my quest head on.
I travelled quite aways. I forded streams, climbed hills and when going got tough, well I just walked around them. Soon I came across a lake. A beautiful expanse of water at the southern edges of the forest, a gentle breeze stirring the surface ever so gently.
I glanced around and through the trees I spotted my prey. It didn't notice me as I crept along, inching closer. Finally, I was right behind it, a goblin. A Filthy creature that couldn't even smell my scent, for it's own foulness perverted the very air that surrounded it.
I waited a moment, drew a breath and launched my assault.
"Give it back!" I yelled.
"Um er what?"
"The ball. Give it back."
"I was only playing..." It looked sheepishly at it's filthy shoes.
"I don't care. You're a bully now give me the ball."
Obtained: Red rubber ball.
I returned to my young friend, who was most pleased at my success.
"Thank-you. Please accept this reward."
Gentle music filled the air for a moment and was gone.
Obtained: 5 gil.
"5 GIL!?!?! You cheap little *******. Come back here. Hey, stop! When I get my hands on you, I'm gonna feed you to Tiamat, you little piece of........"
