Chapter 3

     As requested by the man in the house, we helped him to defeat the tomato golem in his basement. It wasn't an easy task though, Quanta nearly got killed and Ryotine's dog was severely injured. When the golem died, Ryotine and Faeron grabbed the small golem pieces scattered on the ground and munched 'em. They looked like uncivilized people who have not eaten for days. Speaking of eating.... We had not eat anything since yesterday... Fortunately the man's wife came back and after Faeron did some explaination, she thanked us and invited us for dinner. She also gave us some potions which Ryotine used to save her dog. After the team had dinner and some rest, we continued our journey to Jolton.

     Upon reaching the gates of Jolton, we saw some guards fighting with a group of creatures. At second glance, we could tell those creatures are kobolds. Without much thinking I took out my light crossbow and fired at the kobold's leader. However, the arrow missed completely and the kobolds noticed us. We took out our weapons and got ready for battle. As we slaughtered our way to the gates, the guards told us to investigate what's causing the gates to malfunction. Rohan and I went to check out the left mechanism room while Quanta and Faeron went for the right mechanism room. Apparently, a stone were clogging the door's mechanism. We took it out and one of the gates functioned properly. Faeron and Quanta did the same in the right mechanism room and the door was able to close now.

     After that, the guards thanked us for helping and one of the guard approached Faeron. The guard explained what happened and told us to look for the mayor in Jolton's hall. So, we proceeded to enter the town. We stopped by the nearest inn to settle down before going to the hall. Once we were in front of the hall, we could see three circular rings stuck on the ground and every now and then, lightning bolts could be seen passing through the rings. 

     In the hall, there was a large painting of a person on the wall. The person in the painting had an eye patch on his left eye. The description of the painting stated that the person in the painting is the mayor of the town and the initial "R" was written on the description. It was also followed by a poem about dragons. I couldn't understand the poem though... It's too deep for someone like me to understand. Then, I realized that the person in the painting looks similiar to Rohan! They both have eye patch on their left eye and the initial "R"; Rohan's name starts with "R" as well! Rohan looked confused and showed us his dragon tattoo on his arm. What the drok? Dragon tattoo and poem about dragons. Were they somehow connected?.... Rohan, who exactly are you?

  1. Psst - the three rings can be seen from the inn also lol. They're right in the middle of the town ya.

    And the description of the painting said the "R" guys is the village founder, not mayor hehe.

    Nicely written. Can try spending more time on role playing your character's thoughts and motivations - will make this even better.
