    All epic adventures start with some goofball getting what they think is an amazing idea, and then pitching that idea to lesser intelligent goofballs who get all excited and follow their supreme leader goofball off into the sunset.

    Then one day, one supreme goofball had a thought: let's unite the lesser intelligent goofballs in one place. Not only is it practical, but it requires less brain activity—a win for all. Plus, it makes replacing your minions easier when they unfortunately become dragon food or a troll's snack.

    Anyway, I digress; one person's lightbulb moment led to the birth of the guild. All adventures require a wizard—a suave, good-looking man of magic—and that's where our story begins... or probably ends.

    "I'm gonna be honest with you." I say as I fidget with a talisman around my neck before I lean forward across the oak table so you can hear me.

    It's a Saturday night the ale is flowing in golden rivers and the local tavern is packed. Its patrons are rowdy, loud and intoxicated. Their slurred voices and attempts at singing filling the warm small building making it almost impossible to have a normal conversation.

    I clear my throat and speak a little louder, "Your little last-minute campaign and needing a necromancer really threw the guild for a loop."

    I stare at you seriously and drop the tone of my voice, "So, I'm just gonna level with you." I pause for dramatic effect, look around, and then lean in closer, "I'm what they consider bottom of the barrel; I'm a bench warmer." I finish in a hushed voice before I lean back, cross my arms, and smirk. "But... beggars can't be choosers, right?" I muse as I lean forward and pull my goblet of ale towards me.

    I arch my eyebrows and exhale loudly, "So, you wanna raid the legendary tomb of Gallavand the Wise?" I pick up my stein and down the contents in one gulp. I wipe my mouth with the back of my sleeve and laugh. "Well..." I crack my knuckles and roll my neck. "When do we head out on this thing?"
