Greetings, adventurer! Please choose a class(e.g. Mage, Warrior) and race(e.g. Dwarf, Elf), along with a short backstory. I will be playing all of your NPCs and the other 3 random player characters, along with all the monsters you fight. You will begin, as many great adventurers do, in a tavern in the bustling town of Frogsmarch. This city is built up in the mountains next to what appears to be a frozen swamp. Long ago, a hag named Aunt Biddyboty lived in the swamp, and made a deal with a Frost Giant Jarl that ended very badly. Calling on ancient magics, the Frost Giants wove a powerful spell that transported the swamp, in entirety, high up to its current location, freezing it to the spot immediately. Legends say there are valuables in the marsh, waiting next to monsters still frozen in place. The tavern you are in is the Lying Hound. A stone building with a granite roof, the Lying Hound stands two-stories tall. This place is usually only frequented a few times a week by customers. Inside, the tavern is well-furnished and filled with ne'er-do-wells who often start fights and are ready to gut someone for coin. As you approach, you notice the tavern has a calm atmosphere. A local bard is playing a very soothing melody. Banxi Wheatscar, the gnomish tavernkeep, greets you.
