 Could it be? Is that really the great kingdom of ANHEIBA in the distance, the
very locality that marks the beginning of your journey? You look down at the
very simplistic, vague SCROLL you were given for five bronze coins at some
run-down general store for confirmation.
 Why, yes! Yes it is. And, oddly enough, the kingdom looks nearly identical to
one in the sketch provided!
It was a long and vigorous OFF-SCREEN struggle to make it this far, and now
you're just a mere half-mile-or-so away from your destination! What amazing
stories will unfold once you begin your journey? What epic quests will you
go on, later to be told amongst the townspeople as legends?
Most importantly, what is your NAME?

psst hey, this is a reboot of a fairly old and adventure I made a while back titled "A Quadrilateral Is You!" that went on a long-running hiatus, and then the MSPAForums were kill
it existed pretty much strictly on the MSPAForums so I don't really have any backup, so I'm basically gonna use what I can remember and go from there for this reboot |

You express bemusement at the various silly geometry-based names that spring to
mind. Not to mention, "Stephen"? and "Rodger"? You are quite confident that you
are in fact a FEMALE. |

> Your name is obviously Kaitlyn. Your family tells you that it has some sort of significance with another hero but you don't know anything about that. Yeah, let's just go with that. You are KAITLYN, a female ADVENTURER on your way
to ANHEIBA. Why? Because you had the desire to go on an adventure, a quest, in
order to... tooo... umn...
Okay, maybe you don't exactly have a particular end goal in mind. But that
doesn't matter, does it? It's the journey that counts, right?
 You put the SCROLL away, figuring that it has served its purpose of
identifying the city walls of ANHEIBA.

> Kaitlyn: Head townward to adventure! >Go forward with senseless abandon After traversing a long and vigorous OFF-SCREEN half-mile walk, you arrive at
the kingdom of ANHEIBA. The stone walls tower above even a mile or so
away, obscuring the horizon.
 It appears that the WEST side of the kingdom is something of a suburb for the
regular citizens, whereas the EAST side is more of a haven for shopkeepers
and merchant booths. The NORTH side of the kingdom is taken up mostly
by the CASTLE, and, lastly, going SOUTH will put you on the
path away from the kingdom. |

> Kaitlyn: Check out the Shady Store's wares. You enter the SHADY STORE and briefly wonder if the name is a pun due to the
DIM LIGHTING. The CLERK keeps eyeing you and asking if you're with the
guards, which you continuously deny. After you finally convince him,
he tells you to either buy one of the impractical-looking serrated
swords or get the hell out.
Anheiba Shady Store

>Ask for the Serrated Obsidian Sword, then knock him out when he turns around. You indicate that you'd like to purchase the SERRATED OBSIDIAN SWORD with the
devious plan of knocking the CLERK out the moment he turns his back on you.
However, your plan is immediately thwarted when the CLERK demands that you
pay him before he gets the SWORD down, which you can not do as you are
99,950 BRONZE COINS short! >Kaitlyn: Leave while apologizing for wasting the man's time. We need to find ourselves a job! Check with the inn. You decide now's the best time to leave. You tell the CLERK that you're sorry before turning around and leaving. The CLERK still mumbles a curse at you, but at least you feel good about yourself for having the courtesy to apologize. Your GOODNESS increases by 1%.  You enter the INN and approach the counter. The INNKEEPER asks you how long you plan to stay for. You inform the the INNKEEPER that you are not planning on staying for the night, but are instead interested in getting a job. The INNKEEPER informs you that you must first fill out a RÉSUMÉ, turn it in for consideration, then be selected for a JOB INTERVIEW before you can get a job at the INN. Shucks. |

Inquire if you could just show the innkeeper your astounding skill as a barmaid.
Once she sees your talent, she simply HAS to hire you.
Failing that, torch the place and steal anything of value.

Ask if there's anything 'personal' you can do for the innkeep instead.~
... Like doing an irritating sidequest. If anything it would at least raise your GOODNESS so you can better influence people with your MORALITY.

Stand in the street and busk for coin.
Surely you must know some traditional ballads of your people?
