It began with a summons to the castle of King Gadley the Pantless, ruler of the Kingdom of Xanor. In his throne room he received the chosen four, the ones with the greatest potential in all his land. Went unsaid was the observation that all his land did not really encompass all that much.<br/><br/>Still, King Gadley was a formidable figure on his golden throne. He was dressed in a resplendent coat and the most luxurious fur-lined boots gold could buy, but in between no garment dared to profane his crotch and manly hairy legs. Flanking him on either side were a pair of (in)famous Pantless Royal Guards, fair shieldmaidens clad in shining plate above the waist and protected by silver greaves up to their knees, but clad in nothing more than a thin and flimsy thong in between. An olive-skinned concubine, nude except for golden bracelets around her arms, kneeled between the king's legs and sucked on his royal scepter noisily while fingering herself.<br/><br/>King Gadley spoke in a loud, booming voice, all the better to make himself heard above the muffled moans of his love slave. "Welcome, heroes of the kingdom of Xanor! We have summoned you this day to partake of a quest most pressing to our royal concerns. As you may have already heard, in recent months there have been increasing reports of monster incursions, ravishing the fair innocent maidens of our land! Such brazen acts against the well-being of our loyal citizens shall not go unanswered by us! Alas, the elite guards we have sent to raid the monster lair most recently discovered have not been heard from for a week. We are left with no choice but to escalate our response. You heard truly; we are bringing in adventurers - you - to decisively neutralize this threat to the peace and security of our kingdom."<br/><br/>The king paused at this point to grip his concubine by her hair to hold her in place while he thrust his pelvis in her face and sprayed his seed down her throat with a long satisfied groan. "Ah, that was good. Now, where were we?" He continued unabashed, paying no more attention to his concubine, who was now licking his rod of lordly might clean. "We have arranged for the swiftest horses in the kingdom, Sky and Ranger, to draw the carriage that shall speed you to the monsters' den. Even now they are waiting outside our hall for you. Go now!" He pointed a thick finger decorated with many rings at the grand double doors on the opposite end of the throne room. They swung open on cue, allowing sunlight to flood into the hall and silhouette the outline of the pumpkin carriage and majestic steeds drawing it. King Gadley clapped his hands and the two Royal guards began to escort the heroes and heroines to their ride.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Their driver was an energetic half-elf that called herself "Biggsky". She was wearing leather chaps but nothing beneath, and the piece of cloth she had wrapped around her buxom chest did nothing for the jiggling as she drew the riding crop over the back of her horses and spurred them to great speeds. The carriage was a giant hollowed pumpkin with wheels fitted on, boasting just enough space for four to fit inside in cramped conditions while the driver sat outside and guided the horses pulling it. Despite the mildly uncomfortable quarters and precariousness of such a mode of conveyance, the landscape - farms and woods, mostly - rushed by in a great blur as it sped its passengers towards their destination.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>(Introduce your character...)
