Let me know when you are ready for me to review that equipment list.
Beppo's family heirloom is a pouch of 7 silver sling stones and the folkloric knowledge of their effectiveness vs. werewolves and other enchanted creatures that are immune to normal weapons.
Beppo's adventures will begin on the road to Hornpipe. Stay tuned for your cue to enter the game. You might ask: Why is Beppo going to Hornpipe? ADVENTURE!
In the last few weeks, rumors are buzzing within the Apprentice community, about a secret hobbet-only Adventure Club operating out of the human village of Hornpipe. There's no denying that the local economy is flooded with silver and gold coins of untraceable origin, but details are hard to come by. For some reason, hobbets get very quiet whenever Beppo mentions the phrase Adventure Club. All of his questions get shut down.
Then one day, he has an interesting encounter at his local pub: he overhears a toothless hobbet mention the word Hornpipe. Beppo buys the stranger a drink. He introduces himself as Douglas and confirms that, indeed, he has just returned home from Hornpipe, to get his teeth fixed. His speech is difficult to understand, his mouth is so bruised and battered. He won't answer any questions what happened to his face; Beppo can only imagine. After Douglas gets a little tipsy, he whispers, "Can I tell you a seecwet? HWhen you gep da Hornbibe, ask for 'Johnnycakessssshpppsss.'"
Just then, a wild-eyed woman with no eyebrows rushes in from the cold and glares wordlessly at Douglas. He rises from the table. He says (toothless lisping omitted for readability): "Fiona is here! It was nice to meet you. I've got to run; it's my turn at the dentist. Remember: Johnnycakes. Bye!"
Beppo is left wonder, what's up with 'johnnycakes'? As far as he knows, it refers to a regional food, a cornmeal griddle cake. Or could it be the name of a person? Perhaps some criminal mastermind of the Adventure Club organization, Don Johnnycakes?
Stay tuned for the Adventures of Beppo, next time on Hobbet Heroes!
