You are a penniless citizen in the kingdom of Gradrod. You are currently living in a large poor house with over twenty other people, taking odd jobs from the farms and plantations outside the kingdom's walls and barely making any money. You have always wanted to be an adventurer, but never knew where to look for treasure and even if you found a spot, it's us...

BANG BANG BANG BANG You groggily lift your head from the pillow as you hear the insistent knocking at your front door, wondering who the hell could have a reason to visit you so early in the morning.
