Ho, friend! How dost thy personage fair on this day?
I'm fine, thanks. Didn't we just chat?
I had assumed that because you ended it that you had left. I'm just as surprised as you.
What drives you to chat anonymously today?
I don't know. Just woke up early and felt the desire to chat.
I as well. Seems we may have more in common than we thought.
Say, do you by chance  enjoy eating pie?
Why I do enjoy eating pie! I even have a shirt proclaiming such.
Ah! Another lover of pie. What a joy it is to meet lovers of true pastry.
I mean, it's probably not that uncommon, right?
Which is all the more joyful, my friend.
That might be a bit of an exaggeration, but whatever.
I love speaking in stilted prose as well. Do you enjoy such activities?
Seems like a waste of time.
Well, you seem like a waste of time.
Man, that's harsh bro.
Harshing others is my fourth favorite pastime, after poetry, gaming, and sleep.
To truly destroy, one must first dig deeper. Mere surface insults are not enough to break a man.
An inspired thought, friend! It appears I have stabbed in the dagger too quick for one so hardy as yourself.
Less of a stab and more of a weak slap, but yes.
Sir, I feel our conversation is not uplifting us, but casting us among the swine. Shall we aspire to more glad conversation?
Not really. I'm just sort of responding whatever comes to mind immediately, so I can't promise anything.
Neither can I, friend! I too enjoy speaking my mind immediately, so will not hold back.
Far away a small copse of trees lies. Near the trees, a strange man stands, slowly beckoning to you. What do you do?
I draw my sword, approaching cautiously.
The man appears taken aback. He appears mostly unarmed. "No need for such protections from me, traveler! I'm merely a waylaid preacher of a nearby parish." he says. "Could you help me defeat a bestial menace that has taken hold in my town?"
I offer him my services, at whatever cost he feels is worthwhile.
"Good man, I can promise at least 1000 gold pieces if you complete this task. Follow me!"
I follow him, still wary of anything strange happening.
Roll for perception.
I got a 12.
You see nothing too strange, as you follow him into the trees. He leads you to a glowing green circle. Suspended about a foot into the air. "Traveler, this portal will take you to my village. As soon as you complete your task, it should reactivate, allowing you to return here. I will not be joining you, as the portal's magic only will work for one more person, and your help is vital to my village's survival."
"Sir, I promise I will help, in whatever way I can."
"Thank you, kind fellow. Now go quickly, and defeat the menace. When you arrive in the village, seek out the wizard Deremon. He will guide you."
I move towards the portal.
"One last thing, traveler."
