In a small rural village, in a barn belonging to a farming family, a young man stands with his pitchfork, chucking hay into the loft as the sun starts to sink over the far mountain range. Chickens cluck, horses whinny and the day seems to be about over... Dan just needed to finish hauling all this hay up and he'd be finished.
His crops have grown better than usual this year, the hero gains 250 GP from all his work, but a greedy Kobold wants his crops and his gold.
The hero now has to fight or deal with one single kobold one way or another. Careful, this Kobold has 3 daggers on him and is unarmored, he must be very brave.
Suddenly, a small dagger flies through the air and strikes the Kobold squarely in the small of his back! As it collapses to the ground, a cloaked Halfling steps out from behind a nearby tree and saunters over to retrieve his weapon. "All right, lads. We've got 'im!" A brief moment later, three more strangers approach: an armor-clad Human bristling with weaponry, a robed Elf with a staff, and a helmeted Dwarf carrying a mace.
Dan thanks them, and he prepares for his date for the night.
Little does he know that his date is actually a slyph.
And what else he does not know is that his date will not be there. A group of guards told her not to be there and that they would be there in her place as Dan has a duty to do. They want him to investigate some murders, and they know it is a supernatural creature involved, either a werewolf, or a vampire, or just some kind of undead or something else. They want him to investigate and keep his date away from the danger.
