You never liked harvesting crops or working with animals. You thought it was boring and it was always too hot outside. Luckily you lived with your mom and sister. You and your mom and sister barely made enough to live. Because of this you always strived for more. you always strived to live in the city of Darim where you could make more money, where you could meet new friends, where you could have fun. One day while you were out hunting your mom and sister mysteriously dissapeared. Yu had returned to find zero traces of them. You felt different adter your mom and your sisters dissapearance. You couldnt describe it. There was sadness, but that passed. This feeling though, it persisted. Its not a bad emotion but you feel its not good either. You're just unsure about the feeling. With your mom and sister gone you couldnt run the farm by yourself. You packed your dagger, medicinal herbs, food and water and started on a 15 hour walk to the nearest village. Thats 53km (33m). 3 hours into your trek a man riding a horse with another horse with a cart attached to it walk up from behind you. You realise the man is a chauffeur, he takes people from point A to B. You ask the man "Can you take me to Darim?". The chauffeur is surprised "Ack!!" he cries out. "Oh, you want to go to Darim? That'll be 30 gold." "Okay." You respond and reach into your pockey realise that you only have (text-colour:#FFD700)[$gold gold]. You could probably tell the transporter that you'll pay him when he drops you off so that you may have a chance to swindle him and run when he drops you off or you could just pay him now. --- [[say "I'll pay you when you drop me off" -> pay later]] [[Hand the transporter the gold -> pay now]]

"Thats a nice name, $name" the transpporter says "my name is Grunth, its an orcish name." that makes sense, he is an orc after all. "What is your name stemmed from?" Grunth asks. "My name is..." [[select race]]

You tell him you'll pay him later. The chauffeur looks mad. "Fine." he says begrudgingly. [[continue -> talk with grunth]] (set: $owegrunth to "y")

You two talk some more and eventually are forced to stop so that the horses can rest. It starts to get dark and you realise your going to sleep for the night. You and Grunth have some more small talk before going to bed. You're asleep. In a dream you see your mom, she is looking over the farm you once called home. Your mom turns around and her face is gone. You're scared. All of a sudden your mom is right infront of you. She seems taller in your dream than in real life. Her prescense is almost godlike. "You failed me." your mom says in a monotone voice that barely sounds like her. You wake up. Your heart is racing //It was just a dream!// you think to yourself to try and calm you. It doesnt work. You try another stratrgy breathing in and out. That works, you feel calmer. You try to sleep but the thought of your mother plagues your mind. You cant sleep!

Your eyes slowly flicker open. "You're finally awake." somebody says. You open your eyes fully and realize that its Grunth. You slowly get up. "How long was I out for?" you ask, still dizzy. "About three hours." answers Grunth "I saved you, I was able to grab your dagger and stab the boar." "Thank you." you mean it, without him you would've been dead. "Hmmm." Grunth says "Maybe a thank you is'nt enough." he says grinning. "UGH! How much..." you say wearily. "How about three gold," he says still grinning "im being nice.". //Nice my ass!// you think to yourself. You reach into your pocket and only feel $gold gold! (if: $gold is < 3)[Thats not enough!

You hand Grunth the gold and you get back on your horses and make it to Darim safely. [[continue->Enter Darim]]

You point your dagger at Grunth angrily, Grunth steps back trembling in fear "I will NOT be paying you!" you declare. "jeez, jeez, I was just kidding!" you can tell he's lying but atleast you dont have to pay him, right. You and Grunth get back on the horses, fear is still is in Grunths eye and it remains until you two arrive at Darim. [[continue->Enter Darim]]

You hand Grunth the gold and he smiles, "Thanks friend.". You have $gold gold now. [[continue ->Enter Darim]]

You run up to the front gates and two guards stand there. The guards hold their halberds blocking the gate. You had to think fast and just ended up sliding under their halberds. You quickly get back up and continue running. You tun around and surprisingly the guards arent chasing you. You run further passing crowds of people and buildings. You find a small alley and run into it

You walk to the front gates and are immediatly stopped by two armed guards. "HALT! Do you have a pass to enter?" you dont. "Why do I need a pass?" you ask. "There have been illegal drugs being transported in and out Darim." they respond. Its a good reason.

You say "Aw, please! Im just a humble traveller trying to survive." they pittied you and let you in. The buildings in Darim are huge and tower over you.

You say "C'mon! Im just a humble--" you freeze up, //whats happening!// you think to yourself. "Uhm... traveler." you finish. The guards look at eachother then at you and they say "Im sorry but we cant let you in." you walk away sad. "Whats up?" Grunth says. "They wont let me enter because I need a pass!" you say angrily. "Oh I have a pass!" Grunth says. You two walk up to the front gate and Grunth shows the guards his pass. They let you in. The buildings are huge and tower over you.

You try to run past them but you are stopped and they say "You cant get past us!" one guard says. You walk away. Grunth is still there "Whats the matter?" he asks. "They wont let me in without a pass!" you say angrily. "Oh yeah!" he says "I have one." Grunth comes to the gate with you and shows the guards his pass. They let you in. The buildings are huge and tower over you. Darim is intimidating and yet theres an excitment within you that doesnt leave.
