[ in nodd's case, there is a fine line. this is not true of all monks. ]
My type of monk usually acts as a spiritual guardian. You spend a lot of time communing with the natural elements--seeing where we all tie together. You, uh. You try to help people out if they need it.
[ what's age appropriate for a young adventurer but won't be boring? he has to thread this needle right. ]
Giant mutant mushroom was infecting the beach waters of a town my party stopped at. Killed it, cleared out the sentient sludge that was attacking locals. That's really helpful.
I guess you could call us friends. I travelled with two others--Sain and Corryn. Bard and druid. Good kids. Their first real adventure, though. I was hoping it wouldn't be such a big one. That can turn you off the whole exercise.
By a dragon. Do you know about dragons? They're like lizards but big and with wings and bad attitudes. Smarter than most people but there's where the bad attitude kicks in.
[ that's not fair, he's met a nice-ish one, too. ]
It could spit fireballs, and it had scales that look like rock and magma... It blends in with the environment, so if you're not careful, you could walk right into its territory and make it super mad...
... Oh, but it would be pretty dumb to just walk into a volcano without being careful about stuff like that, so it's never really a problem... haha.

[ like, not the most glamorous type of heroic. but still, it's good work! ]
You said you had a party? Were you travelling with a company or friends or something?

Actually, maybe that only happened to me. I think those two knew their journeys would be big ones.

There was a dragon in the volcano near my home, but I don't think it was that smart...

Did you go into the volcano, Anise? ]
It would be pretty foolish to pick a fight with a dragon in their home.

But the Colonel was there, so it was probably okay!
