A lone, dilapidated building stood at, what could be said, the border between the Order and the Demons. In the past, the building's position symbolized its allegiance in the long, almost-eternal conflict. But now, no one inhabited the structure. No one took care of it and no one gave it meaning. Thus, the building became just that: a building. One that is old and crippled and abandoned.

While many a passerby saw the potential of reviving the building to its former glory, only one pursued that notion and he traveled far and wide to invite as many people as he could to restore a quest-accomplishing Guild that made this forgotten building its home. His name was Bartholomew Barker, or just 'Bart', and you are one of those people who he invited. He told you where the headquarters was and, for reasons of your own, took him up on his offer and went off to see what this Bart was up to.

You arrive at the given location and there it was, the uncared and abandoned headquarters of Bart's guild. You should not be too surprised, Bart told you as much about the state of the building. However, 'quite old and unfurnished' may be an understatement judging from the appearance of the building. The structure itself had two floors and an entrance that seemed grand during the building's glory days. There were several windows that peered inside but only some of them had glass while some only had frames. It was no question that considerable work is needed to restore the guild's headquarters.

Once you are done examining the building or skipped that part entirely, you notice that you were not alone in your arrival.

Not all the newcomers were human. In fact, it may be humans that were in the minority Most definitely that the ragtag group that Bart assembled was... diverse, to say the least. There were undead, there were horrors, there were mysterious figures.

All of you arrived at almost the same time. Was it a coincidence or a plan by the powers that be? Ponder on it if you must but before any of you could say or do anything, a young man emerged from the guild headquarters. He appeared to be busy with the wooden board he held in his hands.

When he raised his head, there was a moment of silence as he processed the amount of people suddenly in front of the guildhouse. Fortunately, he recovered his wits as quickly as he lost them. "O-Oh hey! You guys must be the people Bart invited." He began. "I-I too am one of the invited. I just, uhh, came early." He continued. "Uhh, Bart left. He, uhh, said he was going to... gonna get some things... to put in the building. I think." He said. "He also said he would be back before any of you guys show up sooo..."

He took a glance at the guildhouse before resuming. "So, uhh, welcome to the guild guys." He said, his arms stretched. "It's not much right now but... with everyone's help, I'm sure-- I'm sure we can make this place wonderful." He let his arms fall down. "I'll save you guys some time and say that there is literally NOTHING inside the building. No tables or chairs, no cabinets, no closets, no beds. I think looters and bandits took them since no one was using or coming for them anyway." He said. "I saw a furnace though so if you know how to work that then... that's good, I guess."

Another moment of silence took hold but it was the boy who broke the silence once more. "Uhh... so, maybe we should start with introductions." He began again. "I'm Neil and I'm... no one basically." He said before chuckling. "So, uhhh, who goes next?"
