Once upon a time...
Long ago, in a kingdom far away, lived a jester named Kyle who is tired of well... being a jester. As such he took his adventurer father's old and rusty sword—and embark on a journey—determined to become a famous adventurer.

But making his name known across the land is not easy. Therefore he needed to feat that would amaze everyone who would hear it. "A group of goblins are causing trouble in a certain village? Sounds like a job for a hero like me!" Kyle declared and...

...took the said goblin extermination quest. Tap! "I'll be taking this quest," Kyle said as he presented the request form to the guild receptionist. "Goblin extermination quest is it? Please wait a moment," the receptionist then stamped the form.

shadow of the Colonel dressed up like a goblin. He looked down and said: "I was hoping to capture some goblins, but I never saw anything like this! This must be a joke." And the jester replied: "Well I am a jester. Lets work together. I have an idea.

The colonel looked at the him from head to bottom with scorn and grunted. "Son, goblin hunting is not some act you do to jest an audience. It requires a great skill and mastery in close combats." "But I have nice a plan" crowed the chicken jester.

Kyle reached in to his jacket pocket & pulled out a wand, and scowled saying, "no, Not that!" and while tossing it aside he reached back in & pulled out a the parchment, unrolled it & laid it out before them and said: "We start here"
