=== Prelude ===

This is the starting point for the game.

''A merchant caravan recently rolled into town after barely escaping from a goblin raid on the road. They lost their armed guards, and one of their wagons, and are deeply worried they will lose the rest of the convoy if they continue on without more protection. So they have been asking around town for able-bodied people willing to escort them the rest of the way.''

''The pay isn't great (3 pieces of gold for each of the three wagons that successfully reaches Chendl, per person of course), but it's an opportunity to get out of your little hamlet and see a major city, something you've likely not had the opportunity to do in your life. That being said, working a hard day on a farm will net you 1-2sp on average, so you'll make about 10x more doing this than pulling crops out of the dirt. The trip is expected to take about 4 days barring any unusual circumstances, and the caravan leader insists he has better paying work once you get him to the city and they can sell off their wares.''

''You are located in a small town called Roval in the Kingdom of Furyondy, approximately 100 miles due south of Chendl and about 300 miles north-west of the Free City of Greyhawk. Your town is a large farming community on a large river. Housing some 1000 population (most of the population is spread out in the surrounding farmland), it's a decent sized town with most amenities, and it's location along the highway between Chendl and Littleberg make it a popular resting spot for merchants and adventurers.''

''You were likely born and raised in Roval as either a farmer, fisherman, or perhaps a member of the tiny militia. Perhaps you were not and somehow found yourself in this farming community purely by accident. Whatever the case, the urge to leave and go off on some grand adventure is pressing heavily in your thoughts lately and escorting the caravan to the capital seems like a great start! Maybe you'll get lucky and get the opportunity to kill some bandits along the way!''
