| + | Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there lay a peaceful fishing village by the sea called [[Emerald Point Village|Emerald Point]]. By and large the people lived simple, if short, lives and were mostly happy. The arrival of the [[Soothing Waves]] Monastery some years prior had quelled the pirate attacks that had plagued the village, and the villagers were happy to just go about their lives without fear. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This village had a doctor, one [[Third Monsoon]], who was able to patch up injured villagers with remarkable skill, despite being self-taught, and preferred a scalpel to a sledgehammer. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This village also had the honor to be home to the self-characterized "Greatest Woodsman of the West" (though this characterization was not unwarranted). Many nights in the local taproom, the villagers listened with rapt attention to [[Ranger Brad]]'s tales of his woodland adventures. | ||
| + | |||
| + | [[Copper Orchid]] lived here under the Monastery's care, raised by the monks when her brother [[Soul of the Waves]] was away on his ship. She dreamed of leaving with him one day, to sail the world at his side. | ||
| + | |||
| + | [[Quixotic Spring Rabbit]], called "Bunny" by those familiar with him, was the most skilled fisherman in Emerald Point. While having somewhat... atypical proclivities, the villagers had the utmost respect for him. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The village, for a time, also hosted the travelling friar [[Emerald Hammer]]. By day he labored on building up the seawall that kept the village safe from flood. By night, he drank and caroused in the taproom. | ||
| + | |||
| + | It was on such a night, with Brad, Hammer, and Bunny in the taproom, Brad regaling the villagers with the tale of his epic battle with the Tubesteak; Monsoon in her office reading medical books; Orchid down by the docks, waiting for her brother to return; on a regular night, all hell broke loose. | ||

| + | This is a story about good intentions, and how the road to hell is paved with them. What is the road back paved with? | ||
