He wants to pay me to find him something called a [[Skull Helmet]]. I'll probably have to bash someone's head in to get it. Sounds like it's going to be fun! {{clear|both}} == Scenario == === Timed events === {{TEheader}} {{TErow| 1 |[[Sandro]] meeting.|"You appear to be the right man for a series of tasks I need performed, [[Crag Hack|Mister Hack]]," says [[Sandro]], a slick-haired, beady-eyed man sitting across from you in the back of the [[Wingtail Tavern]]. He nods in approval at your muscular frame, massive even by [[Barbarian]] standards.<p>"It's [[Crag Hack|CRAG Hack]]," you snarl. [[Wizard]]s! They think they're so smart. Can't even get a first name right!<p>"I seek four items taken by some very evil men. Individually, the items are worthless, mere tokens. But together, they can be assembled into a great weapon, a weapon that I desperately require."<p>You spit a chicken leg at the puny magic user. "Why should I help you?"<p>[[Sandro]]'s eyes narrow. "Not only will I give you five hundred thousand gold pieces and a small land grant when you bring me these four items, but once they are assembled I will be able to destroy The [[Armor of the Damned]], a magic artifact of unspeakable power and evil. NOW are you interested?"<p>You scratch your head in a rare contemplative moment. Destroying anything - especially an evil magical item - appeals to your [[Barbarian]] code of ethics. "Do you know where these four items are?"<p>"Yes, I do. Here." [[Sandro]] hands you a small map. "This is the land where [[Barshon]] the [[Barbarian]] lives. He is a very evil man who has unearthed the first item I seek. It is called the [[Skull Helmet]]. Now, I warn you, do not listen to anything he tells you. Although, like you, he is a [[Barbarian]], he has no honor and lies like a snake. Also, there are other rogue [[barbarian]]s in the vicinity who will try to stop you. This is very dangerous business, to be sure, but will you accept my offer?"<p>You suddenly jump up, grab your battle-axe, and bury it into the table, inches from [[Sandro]]'s clasped hands. "I'll do it! But if you cheat me, [[Wizard]], I'll skin you alive."}} {{TErow| 1 |Entering region.|As you enter the region of [[Avauntnell]], you decide to first establish a [[Stronghold]] of your own.
