Snippet #874155

Vulkan sat stunned for several minutes. Suddenly all the people in the bar had left, including the woman he had been talking to. Where were they going? It was only then that he noticed what he presumed was a quest board, with a newly attached piece of parcment on it. That was it! They were off to do a quest! This would be the perfect opportunity for him to unwind. He might even get to kill something. Wait a second, standard protocol was to wait at the gathering hall for ten minutes, and he had been sat there for seven...

The bar door was slammed open as he sprinted out. He would retrieve the skull later, right now he had a quest to join. Once again he was confounded by his lack of Saurian. All the signs were written in the language, and he didn't know which way to go. Luckily, every village has a similar-looking gathering hall, he just had to find it. It was only after running around almost the whole village that he spotted it. Crashing through the door with baely five seconds to spare, he took a moment to catch his breath before unslinging his hammer for a couple of practice swings. It whistled through the air as he swung left, then right, and finally downards. He checked its motion just before it hit the floor, returning it to his back.

"Right, I'm ready.", he said to no-one in particular, "Where are we going?"
