You toil away on your father's farm, yearning for a life of adventure.
A strange old hermit of a man appears and tells you a tale of grand treasure and an immortal princess.
She is held captive by an evil and powerful sorcerer whose magical experiments mutated and corrupted him into a monster.
The hermit's expression darkens as he looks into the distance, and he tells you a great storm is coming.
You see smoke and dark, ominous clouds above the place he told you about, and when you look back, he has vanished in the wind.
Your house, with your family inside, bursts into flames and collapses before your eyes, and you see a swarm of child-sized, reptilian humanoids heading your way from that direction.
You are wearing overalls, boots, a cotton shirt and a large brimmed hat, and you are holding a hoe. At your feet lie a shovel and some vegetables.
There is a river to the west that runs north-south, and the land is mostly settled to the north, along the water.
The dark clouds and smoke come from beyond the town to the north, as do the kobolds who killed your family and are now after you.
The only thing to do now is to avenge your family and save the town from impending doom.
What will you do?
a.) Charge at the evil fortress gates head-on and battle your way down to the final boss
b.) Stop in the town to find help and supplies
c.) Try to take on this swarm of kobolds in a raging, bloodthirsty frenzy using common farm tools
d.) Whatever the hell you want
What about e) bullseye womprats for money while weeping over your loss, eventually ending up in a backwater Tatooine tavern telling your story to other drunks.
