Self-Discovery
You’ve gathered a bunch of wild plants, such as maroon mushrooms, carrots root that you dig out the ground, and a bunch of flowers. You bring all of them back to the Adventure Guild so that you can exchange them with some coins and pay the membership fees, which you easily obtained this time.
Now that you are a member, there are some tools and equipment that you can purchase from the Guild, but you do not have that much coin and they all have some pricy tags. You decide that you will have better luck accumulating more foraged items, but your stamina is low right now, and you need to replenish it with some food and rest.
Since you now have the coins to purchase some meals, you drop by the tavern once more and spend some money on food. The tavern owner recognizes you, and even give you a bonus bread to go with the meal. You receive it gratefully, especially since you don’t have much as a starter. You share your story to the tavern owner about how your day goes, eliciting some panic when she realizes that you have ventured out of the town’s gate without carrying any tools or weapons along.
Her cousin has some old tools left in her basement, which they no longer use for. She decides to give them to you, since she has no use of it and they are just collecting dust downstairs. “Besides, it helps me free up some space for storage as well,” she says when you try to refuse. You can’t be asking for too much from her, not wanting to impose so much.
You end up receiving their old stuff; a rumpled messenger bag, a pair of dusty old boots and gloves, a small rusty scythe to pick grass off, as well as some other tools such as pickaxe and axe. They are old, but they’ll have some uses, especially since you’re just starting out and will need a lot of benefits from these type of tools. But the day is getting dark outside, so you spend some coins to get a room to sleep for the night
