The halfling is from a small village of halflings on the east side of the river, past some big valley. He spends most of his days traveling, collecting special herbs and roots, necessities for wizards and shamans. His name is Tofit. Tofit was having a stream of bad luck.
He's been having trouble finding a good supply of a very special herb ,the wizzards call it esswein. The herb is known to enhance your healing rate, and enhance your perception. Wizards use it because it provides their mind with enough nutrition to cast many spells. Shamans like it because it brings them more attune with natures lifeforce.
The orcs raided a farm closer to his village. Orcs have their own swamp weed. It pretty much keeps them on their arses. Tofit ran out of esswein, in a short time. His seeds wont produce for another 13 weeks. Some of the best stuff grows within that valley next to the river. Its potency is said to be due to the mountain, and the river. On the other side of the mountain is the dwarven caves; its the main flow of commerce throughout the entire region. They mine gold dust, silver, and all the other major ores.
Tofit is glad this little valley is still a well kept secret. He was planning on gathering good seeds for enhancing the potency of his crop, and enough of the good stuff to keep the wizards happy, and keep him supplied till the next crop came in. He brought his friend Bob-O to help him carry it all back.
Tofit left his sword behind, figured he could just steal a scimitar from the goblins; his sword is pretty expensive, and he doesnt want it to have healing powers. They couldnt carry much back this trip, so Bob-O figured his dagger would suffice.
Bob-O thought nothing could go wrong, hes with a rogue; Bob-O is just a farmer, he figured he might learn something from Tofit.
Tofit's pretty good at getting himself out of sticky situations.
In his business he deals with some of the Top wizards around.
