Might I suggest that we do a bit of free-form storytelling?

THE RULES:
1) Do not describe the actions of a Non-Player Character (an NPC) unless your character is interacting with said NPC.
2) Only describe the actions of your character, not other player's characters.
3) Do not suddenly give yourself gamebreaker superpowers out of the blue.
4) Stay in-character when conversing in-game. If you must break character, prefix your out-of character words with the <OOC> flag.
5) Describe your character's actions in the third person, except when you're quoting what your character says.
6) Keep it clean.
7) This is fantasy roleplaying. No sci-fi or steampunk allowed.
8) The game is set in a fictional universe with a technology level near what Europe had around 1000 AD (AKA the middle ages). That means no gunpowder, no running water, an illiterate populace, and brutal justice. I think you get the picture.
9) Magic is allowed, but please do not use it as a deus ex machina. Try and respect the rest of the players.
10) You do not need to be human. You can be some sort of humanoid, creature of myth, pixie, elf, dwarf, whatever. (Subject to GM's approval)
11) Sarge is the Gamemaster. All disputes are to be referred to him.

That's it. No other rules (unless I add them later). If you can make stuff up, you can play.

The most important thing to keep in mind is that this is a ROLE-playing game. You make a character, and take on the role of that character. You're pretending to be someone else, OK? That's what makes this fun.

Now, THE SETTING

Welcome to the mythical land of Skara Brae. Through the ages this land has seen feuding clans, invading barbarians, rampaging orcs, and a seemingly endless supply of adventures brave or foolish enough to seek out trouble. More recently, however, the various clans united under one banner to repell an invasion from the northlands. Under the leadership of High King Aeron, at the Battle of Breclough, the invaders were defeated and their leader slain on the feild of battle. They have not been seen in Skara Brae since. However, without a common enemy the King fears that his lords and dukes would rather fight each other than unite under him. For the time being, however, all is peaceful in Skara Brae. Even the orcs have been silent of late.

You find yourself in the city of Glenarbor, a small port city on the western ocean. Before you is a tavern; the sign shows it to be called the Red Lion Inn. To your left is the town market, to you right is the city's lone blacksmith. Behind you is the way to the waterfront district.
