When i finally came to I was facing a beautifull blue sky, when I sit up to look to my left all I see is forest I look to my right and more forest, in front I see a small brown backpack and past that is even more forest and at the back.. yep forest.
"well as beautifull of a scene this is i should probably figure out where i need to go but first I wonder whats in the bag."
I pick up the bag and place it in front of me and open it, inside I see a small dagger, some bread, a water canteen, and a letter. First I take out the Dagger and attach it to my left side belt, then I pull out the letter and begin to read.
'Hiiii!!, having fun yet? well I left you some stuff to get you started on your journey but they wont last forever so if you head north you should find a small town so i would recomend going that way to start off. Oh and if you want to see your status just think in your head or say outloud 'Status' everyone has the ablity to see their status but not others if someone wants to see your status they either have to have the Appraisal skill or an Appraisal crystal but both are rare and cant see special skill unless its a high level Appraisal skill oh and only Guillds and other high up officials have the crystal so dont mind being found out too early.'
"I see well I guess I know where im heading but before that 'STATUS''

It has been about 2 hours since i have started to head north and im really starting to worry about how deep into this forest I am, I mean all I have see are trees and the occasional deer or rabbit around I would have run out of water long ago but when I appraised the canteen I stopped worrying about it.
Magical Water Canteen Can hold up to 100 liters of water
After what felt like another hour of walking I finally found a road now I just need to figure out whether to follow the road left or right. When I look left all I see is a long stretch of road but when I look to my right I see a carriage not to far down the road so I decide to chase after it and see if I can get some kind of information from whoever is driving.
"HEEEEEYYY!!!! SLOOW DOWN FOR A MINUTE" I scream at the top of my lungs trying to reach it. as im running towards the carriage i see that they have stopped and a group of four comes out of the carriage and they all ready their weapons the one farthers to the left is a beautifull red haired girl with green eyes and she is carrying a long sword, next to her is a small man bulky man with black eyes who I assume is Dwarf and is holding a big battle axe, next to him is a tall lady with green hair and purple eyes and she is holding a staff of some kind, and the last is a tall man with black hair and blue eyes maybe 6'0 tall who pulls out a short sword and a shield.
"Stop thats far enough." the tall black haired man said, he stopped me about 7 feet away from them and steps up to me
"ha. ha. thanks... ha. for stopping." I pull out my canteen and take a sip of water, while doing this everone starts to observe me to see if im a threat or not but seeing that I only have a small dagger and and brown backpack they begin to relax a little but not enough to put their weapons down.
"I was just wondering if yall knew the direction of the nearest town. you see i was in the forest over there when I got attacked by some bandits they held me captive for days before I was able to escape unfortunitly I was only ble to get away with only this bag, water canteen, dagger and some food." I said hoping they dont catch on to my lie.
"hmmm i see well the nearer town in about 2 hours walk that way." he points behind him towards the way they were heading.
"yall wouldnt happen to mind if i tag along with yall would you I'll try not to cause too much trouble and ill help with anything yall need help with."
"hmm give me a minute I will ask the boss I cant the dicision to whether you join or not but i wouldnt get your hopes up." He turns around and walks to the front of the carriage to talk to someone while he is away the others in the group. stay quiet and just observe me before who i assume is the leader comes back.
"he says its fine so long as you dont cause trouble for us. So welcome aboard my name is Jack and im the leader of this team so you will do as I say untill we reach the town alright."
"Yes sir. and im Ray its nice to meet yall." as I look through the group I decided to appraise the leader.
Name: Jack Race: Human Age: 25 Lv: 30
SKILLS: Swordmastery Lv: 4 Shhieldmasery Lv: 3
So I jump onto the carriage and introduce myself to the others before we head off towards the town.

The trip to the Town took a little less than an hour before we arrived. I had to get off before them and wait in line with some other peope since i wasnt originally part of their group, but that was fine since I wasnt really expecting a free ride all the way through.
The line didnt last for too long maybe 30 minutes or so before i got to the front and was stopped by the guard.
"Identification please" the guard said.
"I'm sorry mister guard but i was attacked by bandits in the forest and they took everything I had i was barely able to get away with this dagger and backpack as it was."
"hmm let me go get the captain and he will decide what to do with you." and the guard turned around and jogged to a nearby building, he exited and 10 minutes later with a tall buky man wearing full plated armor.
"Here he is sir the supposed bandit escapee.'' the guard said to the man.
"hmm follow me." the man said and started to turn around and head back to the building and I silently folowed behind him hoping that all will go well for me. As we enter the building we head to the back and enter an office like room when the man walked around a desk a sat down.
"sit right there and then place your hand on this crystal it will shine red if you have done any crimes and blue if you havnt.
I sat down in front of the man a put my hand on the transparent crystal when it suddenly shines blue confirming that I have done no crimes.
"good now I heard your story already so im giving you this slip of paper, ths is a temperary I.D. and will only last for three days, if you want a real one then you will need to either becone a citizen or joina guild. Oh and before I forget. Welcome to the Adventure town Azmarin."
