<img src="images/npcs/man1.gif" align="right">A man looks dejected as his sits on a park bench. You ask what the matter may be, and he replies, "Oh, well I'm from Saria Town and I'm kind of stuck here right now. A landslide made this giant boulder slam down on the Old South Road, blocking any traffic from going that way. The Goro-Goro Engineers are checking that out, but I don't know how successful they'll be.

"Also, Ruto Town's Trophy Pile was stolen again... again!... so now the Mayor is threatening to close down the North-South Passage. Word is, he already has. Until I can make my way south, I'm kinda stuck."

"Aw... that's pretty bad, If I could do anything I can to help you. I hope the mayor put's back up north-south-passage. Well if you need me I'll be close by."

A hooded man approaches, and rubs his beard. 'The trophy was stolen again..figures that man would lose his fingers if they were not attached.'

"I will help you look for the trophy, as I already know what it looks like. It should not be too difficult to find."

A tall Sheikah approaches the cluster of people. The one sitting on the bench is feeling down, as far as he could see. He heard the man say that the trophey pile in Ruto was stolen, for a second time. Chances are that the Goriyas did it, for it is like their vile contribution of annoyance to Hyrule.

Darilan looks down upon the man on the bench with his red Sheikah eyes. "Gone again, are they?" He asks. "I will benefit the people of Ruto by finding the prized objects. But first, how may I help you?"

Leon approaches the man,having eavesdropped on the conversation."I will try my best to help you but,first,what kind of trophy does it look like?."he says,suddenly in deep thought...

The hooded man wal.ks over to the group, his face hidden in the shadow of his cloak'DO you know who has stolen them? If not could you direct me to someone who does?His deap voice sends a chill down your spine, Denning waits there for an answer.

OOC: Okay, I finally caught up with you guys. I didnt even know this version was up yet.

IC: A man of average height approaches the gathering. He's carrying a small staff of seemingly worthless value, as it is worn deeply into the wood. He wears all black and his thin hood covers his face down to his mouth. "Please allow me to be of assistance." His voice is deep, but clear.

The Man sighs once more, "unfortunately, all I know is that the trophies have been stolen. Perhaps if you ask the Mayor of Ruto Town himself, you can learn more."

Seeing a Goron at the far corner of the Square, Arco's eyes light--well, not exactly "light up." More accurately, his face nods upwards a little so the sunlight shows a lighter gray in his eyes. But it does little to make them lively.

Before he trots over, he spots the sad-looking man on the bench. Not sure of what is particularly normal to do, he sits down next to him and listens.

Stolen? Sounds like Goriya work; that one dagger master back at Ruto always complained about Goriyas stealing the good stuff before our people could get to it.

He muses over this for a while. I guess I might as well drop in on the Mayor back home. It stands to reason.

Coming back later, Darilan says to the man, who seems to be glued to his spot, "Many of us have found the location of the trophies. It will not be long before they are returned to their proper place."

Yes most of us have aquired trophies and returned them to the mayor of Ruto Town. I still believe however that the boulder is there. Could bombs be the answer?

Returning after most of his fellow adventurers recovered the missing Trophies,Leon grunts,"No,I spoke to a Goro-Goro Engineer working on a boulder near Rauru,but in the Deku Forest,and he told me even Powder Kegs,which usually blows stuff to smithereens,didn't leave a scratch on the boulder they were working on.".

*Looks to this young fellow* "If there is anything I can do for you then you just let me know. I will be back later to see if you have found any information about how to get to Saria Town."

After listening to the man's story, Julian wonders why the man needs to be there.
"Sir, if i may ask, what do you have to do that is so important in Saria town," Julian inquires without trying to seem too nosy in the man's business.

Well, if the trophies have been stolen (which happened in my cousin's adventures as well), then I will do my best to help retrieve them.
