Background:
The main room of the farm was unexpectedly quiet and devoid of any sound, a rare feat as in this lively farmhouse. The master, Josh was sitting at the corner of the table contemplating the note, not paying attention at the autumn landscape visible through the windows. The season just started and only hint of red and gold were tainting the trees growing on the foothill limited by the Delimbiyr. With oddity the master was having some dark though while looking at the note scribbled with a chalk on a black board. A quiet thumb, mark of his wife Leira wooden leg foretell her arrival in the room.
"You are strangely quiet my husband, how things are looking ? " Arriving at the table corner she lean upon her husband shoulder to take a look at the notes..
"It’s really not good this seasons, again, really not, the autumn did not see us coming with a good harvest and I can't borrow anymore money to the Bourg.. It will be harsh winter to come, the crops were bad and we lost too many cattle to the bugbears. The household will still need to eat during this winter.”
"I know dear, we will go through it, as we always did, look you pull me out of this cavern years ago, bleeding to death mutilated. You were then not scare of little things including a full horde of goblins and carrying your life with a mutilated and retired adventurer so what worth is a little hunger and the worst harvest we face is so far ?
"No wife, I was not concern to put away my blade and stash away our armors, we had made enough money on that artefact hunt to go settle in the border, ain't regret anything we had our share of freedom and risks, we found the same in this border in our way with a lot less danger and killing. Loved this life you gave me Leira, you were the best scout our company ever had and I never regretted to have hanged my blade to stay with you after this event... We had this wonderful family, ten kids my Leira, but well this time it's very bad since a few years and we owe too much money and we may loose the farm."
Leira sat down and took her husband hands.
"Things will work out, the eldest three daughter are already out building their own life with their husbands. There is still seven of our boys and girls, bless the gods and Tymora, that we have not lost one of them. It was a close call for Theran when he was looking to join this band going to the High Moor. He is hard strong boy, sturdy as oak but without a good brain of his. I'm glad you put some sense in him as this band went to the grave. "
Josh cracked a smile which brighten his face: “I did a good job to smith out his will for adventure as he really was unprepared, that big fellow was nursing the idea that his old man became weak with a sword… He was not and beside this beating, he had a big scare during the bugbear raid last spring. That actually quell any thirst for adventure from him.
Josh saw her visage features marked by years of labors hardened before she let go a breath:
“As hard it is for me, as i wanted to keep all of them with us, we will have to lead them on their way. Susy can start her training as a healer to Lathlander temple, the priestess keep bugging her. She believe our Susy is very gifted. We can put the twin Toddy and Bart as smith apprentice with Rob in Secomber, he was willing and he owes us from the Kirken pass story a long time ago. Heather and Gawin though still barely in their teen are good for the chores and help you out, Sam is too young to start anything... remain Lantah.
The patriarch take a deep breath. "Aye Lantah, odd that he is taking so much from you my wife, he doesn’t have my sturdiness but he is an agile lad and no stupid with that. I would not had the option to beat him out of his wit like his older brother if he wanted to go adventuring. He is fencing too well now to easily avoid my blade. He is the only one with Todd that took a good hand at sword play and a keen look at what you taught him about trap and mechanisms to secure the barn and the warehouse.
Leira smiled finally” Yes, as you say, he is not really a good fit for the farm life and he is a clever one, Shame that the last member of our merry band, Ufromho never had the mood and room to take him as a mage apprentice, despite the fact that Lantah impress him during the winter Ufromho spent with us teaching to the kids.
She recall a few feats which bring another painful smile to here face. “ Lantah was also the only one to persuade our visiting old companions, Rob and Ufromho to tell stories about our troublesome youth ventures, mark my word my man, he is pondering things and not hot headed despite is merry go round attitude. As his mother, yet despite all our effort to teach our offspring about hard simple life, I know he is the only one of our offspring which actually do dream to take on adventure despite our warning, you know that he is holding up as he wait for your blessing. If one things we did succeed is to raise him properly."
Josh cracked a smile, "Perhaps his is thinking and ponder sometimes, but he is still at an age where he let their blood dictate the lady approach. Hob at the tavern is getting suspicious about his daughter merry ventures and to be honest, it’s not really the time for us to take another mouth or two in the household. Well, wife, I know you have stash your rapier, our armors are greased so i guess it's time to let him go with our blessing.
For the winter, with all our oldest gone, we won't need too much cattle and we will have to let also go the books that Ufromho gave us. We will make it through that way without too much hunger. Come husband there is things to do before we send him on the road, before we change our mind...
Let send our boy become a man as he wants and following his choice, we taught him well, now it's up to him to become what he wants."

Goals:Lantah has no other goal than adventuring and accumulating some wealth, he is looking and observing the world around him, putting his mind to work.
Possible Plot-Hook Ideas and Misc Facts:
Lantah had an extended family, parents ex adventurer in debt, he is looking for riches and money to achieve other goals, what, he hasn’t set his mind yet.
