you were a ranger, your grandfather a legend that died fighting off foul creatures aiming to destroy the land. The demons were after an ancient artifact, if the artifact is destroyed a power of evil that is invincible would be unleashed upon the world, your dad died killing a warlock that wanted to destroy the artifact. yeras later the artifact was found by a peasent and served him as a tax to the king, the king found the artifact and let the priests find out the artifact's prophecy, though they mis-interpreted it, telling the king the destroyer of the artifact would become invincible in strength, and so the king wanted to destroy it, though it could only be destroyed in the middle of the elf forest, a place protected by a gigantic animal guardian. He heard of you, you had a knack for making animals trust you, and in fighting monsters too, he also knew about the mark, the ranger's mark. That sacred mark passed on generation to generation in your family gives its owner an enchatment making monsters and animals alike trust you and not attack you. And so he sent you on a quest to kill the guardian, in return he promised to give you the artifact which you knew the actual prophecy of, you killed the guardian and wanted to claim your price, but the king had evil in his heart, and so he set an assasin to kill you once you were in the castle and make it look like he was trying to get the artifact too, only he didn't succed, you understood your situation quick enough.. and so you grabed the artifact, charged out the castle and rode your steed to safety, there are still assasins on your tracks, you have to finally keep the artifact safe!
you are the wanderer

you run with the rangers, after a minute you find the paokai. He suddenly looks at the rangers and starts yelling and jumps off the wall flying toward you. "At your command... sir" Melrin says
oh and I guess you can add a companion part in your chara sheet I forgot, you would have Dyrall before...
... i hate being a leader..... ok i've got nothing... guess i dodge out of the way last second and slash it with my sword, and have people who aren't in the way and with bows shoot it....
sorry then just tell me if you don't like strategy, most of the ranger group thing is for you to have a shot at tactics and not only first player action. Infact this very fight is like the first tactics fight bu w/e...
the rangers see that you have no answer "well atleast you should prove your worth in fighting!" the paokai comes flying across and you slash it's head a bit... the others start doing other stuff...

"hello," i say to the man, "I came in search of the guilds history, although i've been told that there isn't much of it. It would be helpful if you could tell me the history of the guild," i say to the man.
Simon: "well the sit down" he says sitting you on a nice-leathery chair, "Guild is around 60 years old, its founder was my grandfather, Archmage Luzius. We have been doing private magic jobs for farmers by enhancing their sheep breeding or making enchanted food for the first 30 years, then people wanted help in stuff (mostly for their businesses) too. We always supplied potions for farmers but we just recently have opened the library to people outside the guild. We have a total of 24 current mages in this guild: a librarian, six experimental mages, seven hire mages and 10 potion makers" he explains "any other thing you need to know?" he asks
the dragon flies over knocking Noban and you down while Martlien and tanren manage to scratch his wings. Dandrin shoots an arrow to that wing and it is clear is it pretty much paralyzed.
"Saphirus, see if you can cut off it's head, Dandrin, just keep shooting it, and make sure it wings stay paralyzed. as for the rest of us, i have no idea, so do our own thing?" (i really hate leading a group of people... oh well, lets see what i can do) i get up and see if their's anything special about the demon, like say, a weak point...
well it's got no eyes, though its nostrils and tongue are its direction sensors.
The rangers nod and Saphirus charges at the paokai at full speed and jumps on it's head and striking with his ax. Dandrin shoots it in the left nostril and the others start charging just as the paokai throws off Saphirus sending him to a hard crash that makes him faint.
