The Great Adventures of Tobias Steelchin McDimple

1.) After crossing the Wyrm's Crossing


"Well that was a long bridge to cross!" *pants and catches his breath* "Hm. But what have we here? A ruined fort this close to Baldur's Gate? Tisk! Shall I..."

A.) "...enter this forsaken place and scour its dark corridors in search of great evil to smite? I might uncover some ancient treasures while I'm at it!"

B.) "...get the heck out of here! This wretched ruin looks a thad bit dangerous! That path leading south looks much more inviting. Err... wait. Did I hear a bear roar from down there? Or was that a badger?"

C.) "...go back to Baldur's Gate, sell my sword and buy a nice torch? Not that I'm afraid of the dark, mind you! Not afraid of the dark... I'm not. Not afraid of... the DARK!?" *looks around frantically* "Oh good! It is still light out."

2.) Humble beginnings


“Hello. I am Tobias Steelchin McDimple. I was born and raised a pig- and muckfarmer on the farmlands just north of Baldur’s Gate’s northern gate. It was from an early age I knew that I would not follow in my father’s footsteps. It is in the pig pen that I learned to fight. It is there where I had my first taste of battle.”

"Much to the woe of my mother, father banished me. He said that he was disappointed in the path I choose to follow. That I was a disgrace to eight and a half (apparently my great-grandfather was a halfling) generations of pigfarming Steelchins before me. That is when I set off and took..."

A.) "...my sword and my collection of pig ears with me."

B.) "...my sword and my trusted pitchfork with me."

C.) "...my sword and my pet piglet 'Oogie' with me."

3.) Run away! Run awaaaay!


"Let’s go Oogie! There’s some creepy sounds coming from the dark reaches of that ruin. Not that I’m afraid of the dark, mind you! But uhh… We’d better head back to Baldur’s Gate and get ourselves a torch or lantern, right? Right?!"

"Oink..."

"Right!"

“Well, mister Tobias Steelpin McRumple. Or whatever your name is. I will gladly sell you this moldy old torch for one gold piece. Or, perhaps you have something better to offer in exchange of this beautiful brass lantern? ‘Tis storm-proof I assure you!”

Tobias:
“Suppose I could…”

A.) “…take you up on your offer and pay this one coin I have for that old toch.”

B.) “…trade you this fine sword for that brass lantern?”

C.) “…offer you this fine piglet in exchange for that lantern?”
