Roll 1So it begins... --
Oh, and don't forget to look around... you never knew what you can find hidden.----Mercenary 1After two weeks of journeying through the massive desert, you finally arrive at the gates of the massive city called Ultai. The guards let you in without much of a fuss after you tell them that you're here as a mercenary seeking work. It seems that you're not the first talking skeleton they've encountered. You shrug it off, deciding to not give it anymore though, and enter the city. Humans and various elementals are bustling around all over the place, some of them trying to do their chores while others were browsing small shops that were scattered all over the place. In the distance, you can see the massive palace where the Vizir resides trumping all of the sandstone buildings around you, making them seem tiny in comparison. Anyway, you decide to make your way towards the small outpost situated in the inner district to take up a task and earn some money, since you had none on you at the moment. There, the following quests are listed:"Relic Hunt:
- Need someone to help me explore the Pyramid of Theos and kill off any monsters that attack us.
Reward: 450 gold coins and half of the loot.
Find me at the Golden Harpy inn in the royal district."
"Clean up:
- The Vizir is hiring any willing adventurer to help with killing off the lamias residing in the Ul'raak cave. Talk to Khuru Dorrak at the outpost for who will accopany you and to claim your reward.
Reward: 750 gold coins"
"Bodyguard:
- More people are needed to guard the delegate we are going to send at Andretana to represent our kingdom. Come at the easter exit and speak to the guard cpatain there if you wish to join the escort.
Reward: 850 gold coins and an enchanted diadema that will be given upon the delegate's safe arrival at the destination"---

Has a 5 turn cooldown.)
Passive Ability (1 only):
- Spiritus sepulturam (Nayrous general form does not lend itself well to physical combat, however; this form with all of its seals and incantations lends itself well to magic in this form Nayrous suffers -1 to defense and STR but gains +2 to magic rolls.)
You navigate through the Marrowin Woods, careful to avoid any lizardmen along the way, until you finally arrive at a four way cross. To the north is the way you came from, to the east lays the Path of the Dreaded, called so by it's seemingly constant bad weather, a path leading deeper into the woods to the south and finally, a few crumbled colums and a ruined wall to the west marked the entrance to the Ruins of Metrolia. Unfortunately, two lizardmen were guarding it, although they didn't seem interested in you. Of course, you could also search the area of any useful plants or hidden items before moving on.

"As you might know, the Grand ArenA in Andretana will host a championship in the next few weeks, and Tyrine has been invited to send two warriors to compete." he spoke with a stern tone, the news stirring whispers between the students.
"Your hard work has earned your place as the class which will represent our Academy at the championship." the man continued, pacing around the field.
"Carola! Mystel! Erik! Step forth!" he suddenly yelled in his parade tone. The three of you hurry to follow his order.
"Carola, you've already proven yourself multiple times as a fine fighter, the top of the class." he said with a slight smile before turning towards you and Erik.
"Although both of you are fine swordsmen by now, you never really managed to surpass each other in any way. So, we need to decide which one of you will go with Carola to the championship through a duel." the paladin explains before urging the other students to clear some space for you two. Erik nods towards you then walks three meters away from you, before turning around drawing his weapon, a rapier.---

You glance around the glade you find yourself in, looking for some luna berry bushes to fill the basket with and get this silly quest over with. The main reason you even took it up wasn't actually for the reward, which was meager at best, but rather as an excuse to go out and explore for a bit. Sighing as you see no trace of any berry bushes, you continue deeper into the forest, the clattering of your wooden limbs accompanying your every step. After a few minutes of walking, you come across a crossroads, one path going straight forward and the other one going to the right. You can also hear a shriek coming from further down the second path.
