this'll be a collective fantasy vision from all the RPG games i played (Both forum and actual RPG and DnD) so something of a nerdenstein, to the story! set in the classic medieval fantasy
During the first years, spanning from 5000 BGW (Before Great War) to 0, the land of Wennith was a fine and peaceful one, fairly peaceful. maybe a skirmish here or there, but collectively good. seeing as all the individual continents were separate, forming their own species, languages, religion... and intrepid explorers sent trade to each other. but around 100 BGW the continents collided, forming the Great Circle. By 1 BGW the borders were a blur, the people and kings thought they could control everything. You're now in 100 GW, the borders hardly changed. But a new surge of fighting has come, and you're in it...

How many people am I traveling with? How many of each class?
Well, I suppose its at least five, so I set up camp at the edge of the swamp. I station four people at as watches, one at each corner of the camp. I tell the person at the corner closest to the swamp to pretend to fall asleep, and get the fifth person to hide and keep watch over in his place.
Maybe this will flush whatever was following us out...
If not, well at least I did something. How far away are the humans?

I say to the humanoid: "Who are you? I mean you no harm. I am a man (lizard?) of healing and peace."
If I don't have time to give the order, I still say that to the the floaty sword guy as soon as I see him.
