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

"sounds great!" i say enthusiasticly. "i've hated living off the land and starving everynight, but your not getting this artifact" i say. I hold my sword, blade up, and with my right hand, i pull an arrow out of my quiver and hold it in my left. "come on big boy, show me what you've got" i taunt him.
you see the ship, it is large with three sails, suddenly behind you you feel the touch of someones hand, you turn around and see Daligan "mighty ship, ain't it?" he says "come, I heard you have supplies at last, we'll put them in the cargo hold"
"right, the maps go in your room, I guess, the equipment is going to be handled by who ever Dandrin brings. I'll take the telescope and you can have the rest" he says taking some stuff from you
he arrives with three people, all skinny, one has a weird sort of hat on his head "Hello captain Talow! I would like you to meet Prunt, Stiten and Tral, they are our ship's work crew" Dandrin says climbing on the deck with some kind of large bag "Also I noticed you haven't got much food supply so I bought some..." The man with the weird hat comes and offers to shake your hand "name's Stiten, I'm an over looker and deck-swabber" he says holding a large broom "other ones are Prunt, hes a cook and Tral over there is a navigation guy" he says
