There are many on whom Fortune shines her favor, who always find themselves in the best of situations, and for whom difficulties have a way of just simply... turning out well. Still others make their own luck, through skill, experience, and proper preparation, seizing their fortunes. Still others seem to have runs of bad luck, losing wealth, loved ones, and even their own lives, as Fate frowns upon them.<br/><br/>And some poor bastards seem to have Luck actively working against them.<br/><br/>It is the tale of one of these unfortunate souls that we tell here, today; the story of a young man, whose family was cursed, long ago, for some forgotten misdeed, and now, generations later, are still paying the price. His grandfather once owned a successful bar... at least, until it burned down, taking his wife with it. Undeterred, he remarried, and established a new bar... which also burned down, at the hands of rowdy adventurers, one of his children dying in the fire as well. The third inn fire claimed his life, though his son survived long enough to start his own business as a successful merchant, which went well, until a freak storm destroyed all three of his cargo ships, and drove him so far into debt he never recovered, eventually being killed at the hands of thugs, sent to collect the money, by any means necessary.<br/><br/>Which brings us to our protagonist for this story, who has decided to spit in the face of him family's curse, and set out to become an adventurer, which is where our story begins, deep in the Mistwood Forests, where he's currently seeking out a cavern, to collect more ingredients for his poison supplies.
