The Misadventures of the Missed Adventurers

[narf poit chez BOOM]

:::A dusty road winds it's way through a dark and dangerous stretch of woods. down this road staggers the figure of a fighter. as this figure draws closer, it can be seen that his condition is bad. his armor, leather with studs, bears rips and tears while his sheath is tattered and worn. the sword handle itself is in like condition, and the bow strung accross his back looks as if it would have trouble launching a single arrow. his boots show toes through an opening on the front, and their heels are long gone. the figure itself is hunched over and limping, with an equally ragged pack over his back. The features cannot be made out, as the setting sun is obscured by the surounding trees.
:::Ahead, the haggard individual makes out a clearing and his steps quicken, drawn by the promise of rest. Breaking off the branches that dangle by the road, he approaches and enters the clearing. habitualy finding a spot in the middle of the clearing, where he can watch for danger from all sides, he drops the wood on the ground and drops himself there, whatever energy had kept him upright seemingly spent.
:::Sparks flash of off flint and steel, and soon a glow is spreading over the fuel and the character can be seen to be putting a flask back into his pack. taking, out of the same pack, something that may be a skinned hare, he picks one of the longer and sharper stick out of the edges of the fire, and skewers the meat. taking, also, two forked sticks out of the fire and beating the flames out on the ground, he sets up his scant meal over the fire.

ooc:[woah, i didn't know i could write that good. it sure sounded good when i was writing it, anyway. maybe other people, pehaps lost in the woods, perhaps on the road, will be drawn by the glow of the fire? i saved that one on my computer. ok, i look through it on the forum and it needs paragraphs and everything seems to end to abrubtly. but i didn't know i could first-draft, flow of thought that good. ok, some paragraphs. lets see now...my space disapeared, so i used : doesn't look to bad. as this is the first DO roleplay, all characters should be low-level]
