Chance Meeting at Fumosville

I came to Fumosvile for 1 thing, seeds! I’d been wandering for while before I heard of this place. You see, I’m a seed guy, I’m not really a crime guy, but since I was raised by the McNaugh’stee crime family I can do crimes when I need to. When you’re traveling around on your own you learn to take what work you can to feed your belly until you can get to the next place.
 
During my travels I kept hearing about a ‘lot of food growers’ in Fumosville and I thought that’s probably a good place to find seeds. You see I like plants and I like to eat plants. Everyone in my clan thinks I’m nuts, “you should be eating meat” they’d all say, just one of several reasons for me leaving I guess.
 
I met Fern at the farmers market. We were both listening to this grower go on and on about some amazing technique for growing plants. I noticed this short (taller than me, but barely) cat-like Tabaxi creature listening intently and taking notes. I had heard of, but never met a Tabaxi before. So I shared a meal with them afterwards. I mostly listened as I heard all about Tabaxi culture and about Fern’s mentor Lucia. We had a shared love of nature and bonded quickly. I also learned that Fern, like myself, dabbled in the adventuring business. They heard that a well paying job was set to be posted the next morning.
 
Then there’s Robin. As Fern and I were eating we noticed this kind of a fancy pants lookin fella walking around with his Horse. He was talking to lots of people, apparently looking to do good deeds? Seemed a little out of his element among the common folks in the markets and what not. I pegged him for rich kid, bored with bullying peasants, looking for adventure. Guess I was right, turns out he also saw the post the next morning.
 
“Adventurers Needed to Save Beautiful Island From Monsters”
 
The only way to get to the island of AVENTURE, unless you have your own boat, is by taking the ferry from East Harbor. A 5 day journey from Fumosville. The road was filled with the normal travelers and also an increased amount of adventurers looking for the same thing we were. Adventuring is a dangerous game especially when you’re alone. I was looking for allies, and Fern and Robin were too. So here we are, about to board the ferry to what adventure lies ahead.
