Backstory:

April was brought up in her tribe as a carer of the animals. She would work hard every day. Her older brother was a gatherer and when he came home in the evenings would teach her what he'd learnt over the day such as climbing, different types of plants as well as archery. They had a close bond, in return she would show him how to spot an injured animal and how to care for them appropriately. In her spare time, she would also do sewing. April and her brother had many laughs over this, as she would sometimes make a mistake and have to undo the whole thing. Her father was a trader and was rarely in town. he supplied the family with enough money to live, but they were content.
April's mother was a tailor, which is how April first learnt how to sow. She was very skillful in the arts and could do fine, small detailed patterning. She'd been taught from a young age and kept doing it throughout her life. She passed away at 10 years old from an unknown illness.

The tribe custom was that at 4 years old, the child would get their first, basic weapon. For their family, both her and her brother received badly-crafted bows. They would practise and learn until at 12 years old, a ceremony would be performed where blood would be marked upon the child's head and they would get their first official weapon to take care of for the rest of their life. If you lose your weapon, you become an outcast.

April had a close friend in animal training called Holly. Holly was, like her, an animal trainer but she was a lot more skilled and the daughter of the tribe chief. Her weapon was a set of shurikens. For an unknown reason, they were out in the forest, helping an injured squirrel when called away by their mentors to join a boar hunt. Both of them had hesitated, since it wasn't their job and April hated seeing any animal in pain. it made her feel sick. As they saw the hunt pass by, Holly was up front, being dragged away and forced to keep up so she didn't get trampled by horses. April had seen it happen in a heartbeat. Holly's belt had snapped, one shurkien falling to the floor and the other three snatched up by a boy she hadn't seen before. The black striped markings on his face indicted he was a Warrior.

She'd been forced to watch in horror at the thought of Holly being removed. you couldn't argue against a fighter, they were an elite force, even their apprentices were formidable.

When the chief found out, Holly was banished. April decided to go with her friend and abandon her own life.

Ruk slid down the side of the beast to the ground. He grinned at you and gave you an approving nod. Then, he pushed the beast's corpse over onto its side so its belly was exposed. What do you wish to do? a) Cut the beast's stomach open b) Have Ruk cut it's stomach open c) Leave d) Say something e) Other

(well that's convenient)

b) Have Ruk cut its stomach open

Coming down from a brief adrenaline rush, Julien covered his mouth with his hand, the sight of blood making his stomach turn. He turned his back on the beast's corpse. "The goblin said it swallowed the ring, yeah? How about you cut it open and see?"

He approached the dead beast, engraved sword in hand. He used only one hand to slice through the skin covering its belly, and then the beast's internal organs began to spill out. The orc located the stomach and sliced it open. He frowned at the contents inside, and then fearlessly reached in and pulled out a very stinky gold ring. He placed it on the ground and poured some water on it to wash it off a bit, and then handed it to you. What do you wish to do? a) Take the ring and return to the goblin b) Have Ruk hold the ring and then return to the goblin c) Take the ring and leave d) Have Ruk hold the ring and then leave e) Other

(iiiinteresting.)

b) Have Ruk hold the ring and then return to the goblin

Julien glanced at the ring and closed Ruk's fingers around it. "Here, you keep it. We should be getting back." He started walking back in the direction of the goblin.
