Try to keep it in line with fantasy, but not absurdly over the top. Wizard of some type, warrior, druid, priest of something, maybe even an animal. But not "I'm the "incarnation of rock n' roll" here to bring the thundaa!"

Bacon Zorp: (4) The kobold swipes again at the wisps with his knife,

Rzet: Please, stand down.
The wisp and its ally hover in place, doing no harm. They do not speak, but nothing they do seems to be a threat of any sort. The guards keep their weapons up though, just in case.

Savaget 1337: (N/A)

William': Light both ends of the first rope, and only one end of the second. When the first rope burns completely, light the other end of the second.
Sphinx: Correct! Next one- a hill full, a hole full, yet you can’t catch a bowl full.
You hear more metallic clattering, the owl hoots again.

Cathari Sarad: (N/A)

Catharine: Do they though? Let me ask you this, how many werewolves do you have in your entourage, and of the werewolves you can contact via this charm, how many of them profess to be in your entourage? If the numbers don't match, then perhaps this ring belonged to one of the others. If they do match, then that makes things a bit more interesting. Alternatively, I might ask, does my possession of this ring therefore make me one of 'your werewolves' as you put it?
Moon Spirit: I guess you're one of them now... Okay, last time I checked, there were 20 of them… contacting them right now, but I’ll stay on the line, just to be safe. Magical connection lines are fickle, ya know.

Jaxfirebus: (3) You hand the keys to the good Dr. Gerald, who accepts them with a smile. He mounts your Ebony Horse, and unlocks the chain attaching it to the fence. He takes off, ebony horse in tow, you know not whether he or your horse will come back.
Name: Aren Sunsword
Species: Human
Class: Wizard
Location: Southern outskirts.

Black Mage Anolis: (5, 2) You whisper a spell, and you feel a chill settle on you, assuring the the trap had been set. You then take a swing at the wisp again, but you miss, sadly.
The goblin at the front speaks again.

Rzet: Please, stand down.
The wisp and its ally hover in place, doing no harm. They do not speak, but nothing they do seems threatening.

capnrecked: (4, 5) You manage to step out of the combat zone, being just missed by a stray energy bolt. With a few muttered words, and gestures in the direction of the guards, they are healed by a red light.
The priestess sets a wisp alight with a holy fire, and its light dissolves into nothing. The remaining wisps start going on the defensive, evading the guards blows, and charging them rarely.

Oh look, a ghost!

Bacon Zorp: (5)

Rzet: Would you please chill for a bit?
Anolis: I'm already chill, what's the hustle?
Rzet: No, I'm talking about the wisps. Help me out here?
Anolis: Oh, gotcha. Yeah, could you maybe chill?
The wisps hover in place, offering no harm.

Cathari Sarad: (N/A)

Catharine: Okay, now is there anything else I'm supposed to know, or am I allowed to just do whatever?
Moon Spirit: Well, the only rules for my werewolves are really 'don't kill other werewolves' and 'don't mess with the afterlife boundary'. Don't worry, you're not likely to break the second one by accident. Or the first one, for that matter.
The room seems to get a bit brighter, with a golden light.

Savaget 1337: (N/A)

William: Smoke?
Sphinx: Correct! Oh dear, the armor suits are getting restless again...
You can see one of the armor suits get off its platform, assuming a menacing posture. It has a noticeable stylized sun symbol on its breastplate, that seems to be filling the room with an odd golden-hued light.

Black Mage Anolis: (4)

Rzet: Would you please chill for a bit?
Anolis: I'm already chill, what's the hustle?
Rzet: No, I'm talking about the wisps. Help me out here?
Anolis: Oh, gotcha. Yeah, could you maybe chill?
The wisps hover in place, offering no harm.

capnrecked: (3) You cast a defense boon on the guards, though they do not seem to notice it. Energy bolts and the occasional crossbow bolt fly through the air. The preistess mutters something, which destroys one wisp, leaving one running away from her, right into another guard. It is not down yet, but seems to be flickering and on its last legs.
You see no other creature that may attack.

Bacon Zorp: (4)

Rzet: Please stop attacking us, and don't call any more reinforcements.
The wisps seem to comply, slowly flitting away into the treetops until their light was obscured by the trees and overpowered by the slowly rising sun.
Guard: We should check on the temple, it's been a while.

Black Mage Anolis: (N/A) You watch carefully, and the whole thing is resolved peacefully.

Rzet: Please stop attacking us, and don't call any more reinforcements.
The wisps flitter away into the treetops, their light soon overtaken by the slowly rising sun.
Guard: We should check on the temple, it's been a while.
In the corner of your eye, you notice a familiar snout pop out of the brush, then back in.

Cathari Sarad: (5)

Catharine: Dafuq is this shit?
The animated armor raises its gauntlets, and five rods of light form above it. You roll out of the way as all five of them are tossed your way at same time.
Moon Spirit: Goodness, the more fanatical sun-aligned take the fun out of this rivalry!

capnrecked: (N/A) The last wisp is slain by a spell from the priestess. She then approaches you. You feel as though she might ask any number of questions, since you are a stranger. You prepare for any questions like 'Where are you from?' to inquiries about your god.

Priestess: Thank you for your help, stranger. Now, about that holy fire you miscast... what deity is it from? I have never seen anything like it before.

Savaget 1337: (6) You cover your eyes, anticipating some blinding attack.

William: What is it doing?
Sphinx: Unlike the others, this one only seems to be active at daytime, and only in the presence of creatures such as werewolves, vampires...
And so the Sphinx gives you an Info Dump, while still clarifying nothing about the situation. With your eyes covered, it's hard to tell what's going on.

Lime Kid: Good to have you back. You may rejoin if you wish, maybe using your old character, starting in an inn.

> Make a low run towards the armor thing, attempting to leap to the side if another one of those attacks comes, and then attempt to strike the thing with my spear.
