[Elephant Parade]

You are a talentless peasant in a nameless backwater village somewhere in the kingdom of Yonder. Taxes are high, monsters are swarming over the land, and the local pub ran out of good beer. You're tired of being a nobody! You're going to master the art of... something!

What do you do?

[TricMagic]

The local village girl Tim starts a Fire. Die Rats!

[Crystalizedmire]

Study poetry

[ZBridges]

Craft a hula hoop and practice the ancient art of hula hooping.

[A_Curious_Cat]

Learn to play the lute.

[MonkeyMarkMario]

Enter a fey mood taking over a random workshop and demand random items.

[Megam0nkey]

Study ancient books of magic most foul within the local library

[King Zultan]

Go find some trees to punch!

[Imp]

Become a brewer's apprentice.  We can fix the beer issue at least!

[Elephant Parade]

The local village girl Tim starts a Fire. Die Rats!

(4) Never again will Old Man John complain of rats skittering around in the attic! Or having an attic. Or having a house.

[Got Firestarting Lv. 1!]

Study poetry

(2) To study poetry, Crystal would first have to acquire a book of it; alas, this is well beyond a mere peasant's budget.

Craft a hula hoop.

(5) The design comes to Bridges in a flash of inspiration! Entertaining, healthy, sporty: a multifunctional ring for all ages! The work is finished in an afternoon. He takes it for a spin, blacks out, and wakes up the next morning, exhausted but very fit.

[Got Woodworking Lv. 1!]
[Got Athletics Lv. 1!]

Learn to play the lute.

(1) What follows soon comes to be known as the Ballad Incident. Nobody speaks of what happened, but C.C. is never allowed to hold an instrument again.

[Got Music Lv. -1!]

Enter a fey mood taking over a random workshop and demand random items.

(4) Out of a mix of pity and desire to get him out of his makeshift barricade as soon as possible, the Mason's Guild passes Mario several tons of unworked stone and some of its less attractive sculptures.

[Got Begging Lv. 1!]

Study ancient books of magic most foul within the local library

(5) Mega isn't sure why the Lesser Necronomicon is just hanging out on the shelves of this podunk village, but it sure is.

[Got Dark Magic Lv. 2!]
[Learned Vamp: Drain a living being of their vital force.]
[Learned Curse: Until the curse is lifted, nothing good can happen to the victim.]

Go find some trees to punch!

(6) Zultan's fists of fury reduce the first tree TO DUST! Wait, you can't make anything out of dust; let's try again. Zultan's fists of gentility reduce a second tree to SLIGHTLY COARSER DUST! Hold on, maybe he's got something better than crafting going on...

[Got Iron Fist Lv. 2!]

Become a brewer's apprentice.  We can fix the beer issue at least!

(3) The brewer isn't taking apprentices at the moment but he might change his mind if an applicant brings him some kind of inspiring and original concoction.

Go to the local tavern and listen to poetry.

[Imp]

Go explore with the baker about exploring making beer from bread and the idea of a combined bakery/bread-brewery that maybe can solve the bad beer issues.  Don't go back to the brewer unless I must.

[MonkeyMarkMario]

Craft my masterpiece with the random junk I have gathered.
