The Mysterious Forest Clearing...
Black Spacing Line
As you wander into what seems to be a quiet though dark forest clearing, a small humanoid creature suddenly appears from behind a nearby bush.. a HALFLING!
"Well met, traveller!" he says in a high, friendly voice. "Jippi at your service!", bowing briefly before you.
In the blink of an eye he then leaps away, skipping nimbly through the trees around you - it's difficult to keep track of just where he is!
Stopping again in front of you, you note he is dressed in loose, earthen-hued garb, with a constant subtle grin on his face.
He reaches into his cloak, withdrawing several items.. "Gifts, friend, that might ease your exploration of these realms."
You receive a small magical orb, and a neatly coiled length of rope from the little fellow. "For light, and access to the lower caverns which abound up the mountain" he says.
He also hands you a shiny silver hip flask, which you sip to discover it's contents to be Jack Daniels' Whiskey, and several elven shortbread-like biscuits wrapped in a small soft leather parcel. Jippi licks his lips and smiles.
"Oh, this may come in handy at your campfire, which I hope burns high and bright for you always".. He once more reaches into his cloak, then produces a billy, handing it to you.
"Have fun!" he says, and with a wave dissappears as quickly as he appeared..
Placing the various items within your own cloak, and wondering if your gold pouch IS a little lighter than you remembered it?.. You nod, and continue on your way..
