As you come upon the stairs, you find a rather old man at the foot of the stairs. he looks up into your eyes, and says, "I-I Fell D-Down the stairs... H-HELP!

Blank grabs the old sage's hand and helps him to his feet. He knows the old man won't reward him in any way, but he doesn't show his contempt, except in the cold features of his face.

Careful next time, old man. You could fall and break something, you know. Then there'd be no saving you.

oh! thank you so much! the old man turns and says, For now i have nothing to give you. But in your time of need, i will be there... The man walks into the whisping winds of the dessert...
OOC: He will now be one of my NPC's. I will lable him(mysterious man)

My time of need? Jeez..... bah, crazy old man. Probably won't make it to North Castle without falling down.

Blank walks off laughing to himself. But in his mind, he knew he would see the mysterious old man again, someday.
