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: Talk to Fjord!
And that was much as she really wanted to say on the subject of her family, so she veered away from that hard.
“Yeah, okay, she definitely sounds cool.” Even if the idea of people being that optimistic seemed slightly unrealistic to her. “If we ever get a chance to make it back there and, y’know, you can find her, I’d be into meeting her.”
Not like that. Well, maybe a little bit.
Re: Talk to Fjord!
You'd love her, Beau.
"Provided I can find her again, hell yes I'll introduce you," Fjord replied, letting that conversation veer hard onto the topic of the little blue tiefling girl, instead. He knew a 'don't go there' when he saw it. Sometimes. "You'd probably get a kick out of her. And the more the merrier, right? If you aren't opposed to doing some travel, I think we'd both be happy to have your company."
He liked you, Beau. Stick around a while.
Re: Talk to Fjord!
"I could be into that," Beau said as the hint of a genuine smile -- it didn't even look pained -- began to spread across her face. "I could so be into that."
Not, mind you, that she was going to count on it yet. But she'd be happy enough to hold on to the prospect for a while.
Re: Talk to Fjord!
"Well, good," Fjord replied, smiling right back. "I'll continue keeping an eye out for a way to get home, you do the same? And we'll let the other know if and when we figure it out. How's that sound?"
Re: Talk to Fjord!
"That's a good deal. I'll take that deal."
Re: Talk to Fjord!
"Deal."
