Entry tags:
A New You, Tuesday, Period Two
Today, students, you would enter the danger shop to find yourself and your merry band of fellows sitting on the outskirts of that same seaside community, near a particularly large but depressingly sparse-looking farmer's field.
"Congratulations," Fjord said jovially once it looked as though everybody had arrived. "Warden cut you a deal... you all get to clear your name together, innocent or otherwise, if you do the town this one particular favor. You see, apparently, there have been some kobolds stirring up hell on the outskirts of town. They tend to show up around the same time every night, digging up farms, ruining crops. Now... we can't have that. Yes, this town does also have a fairly active fishing industry and the hunting on the outskirts isn't half bad. The locals aren't necessarily going to go hungry, but winters are long this far north, and people need the grains and other such things in their diet, and a good deal of the town's economy comes from trading their harvest."
He didn't figure most of the class necessarily cared. He was still going to share what the Warden had said. Important backstory, and all.
"So, to clear your names, you'll need to find out what the kobolds want and deal with it, or just kill the little fuckers and get it over with. Up to you. Warden doesn't care how the job gets done, just so long as this gets put to a stop." He lifted his chin and smiled pleasantly at his little adventuring party. "So... what do you do?"

Re: Adventure - The Farm's Outskirts
She went looking around the fence and the edges of the farm, to see if she could tell where they were coming through.
Re: Adventure - The Farm's Outskirts
The fence was fairly straightforward, more a property marker meant to keep large wandering herbivores out than anything that would be difficult for a humanoid to cross. It could be climbed with little difficulty, most likely, and anything small enough ought to be able to squeeze through a few of the gaps between pickets, but that list included very little that was much larger than a rabbit or a fox.
A bit of poking around at those pickets will reveal one particular one, in the corner near the bulk of the digging, is missing several nails, and swings loosely enough on the one that's left to create what is essentially a doorway for any enterprising small humanoids who might want to come visit.
Re: Adventure - The Farm's Outskirts
She looked around at the others. "I think this is where they're coming in."
Could she put a trap on it?
...How would she even do that? So maybe not.
