ANYWAY STORY TIME

&NS: You know Marry Poppins? Think of her bag.
Technically, it's an extra-dimensional pocket in space accessible only through the hole in the bag. That space is usually the size of a closet, yours being a 10x10 room 20ft high.

-----Chapter 1: Meeting-----
The great jungles of Zanzitar, vibrant and full of beauty and danger. The clouds above grew darker as a light drizzle bathed the land. An elf, clothed in tattered robes with a longbow strapped to her back, stalked through the trees. Her quarry was a simple beast, a herd animal that had strayed from it's pack in the plains nearby. Too much trouble to drag back, she was hired to kill it and bring it's pelt and meat to them in a bag of holding. She followed the tracks and they eventually led to the main road, and followed it. So to did Elva.

Just Outside the jungle in the Intermediate Plains outside a small hamlet a small, slim figure rushes out, chased by a mob of farmers. Realizing the drow was too fast for them, they gave up, but the drow knew she couldn't go back. She knew the village wouldn't be friendly, but such immediate violence was unexpected! She needed supplies and shelter from the rain, which would soon become a storm. Eventually, she got back on the main road and spotted a caravan in the distance. By the looks of their cargo, they were exotic. Perhaps they'd be a bit more tolerant towards her...

Chloe sat on the back of the wagon and looked up, smiling as a light drizzle fell from the sky. This might not be the life of adventure she desired, but it was still pleasant and exciting! Hired on as a healer, she helped more than a few men recover from broken bones from nasty falls on the road, and tended to many of the caravan guards' wounds. They found a traveler on the road, an eccentric man named Aldus, who immediately decided to join. She wondered to herself exactly who he was when the caravan suddenly stopped...

Aldus was walking along with this group of people, taking note of their odd habits. They all seemed to walk the same pace as each other, and some weren't even walking at all! They were carried in carts, along with many goods. He wondered what the goods were, and whilest wondering he bumped into the person in front of him, and then he noticed they all stopped suddenly. He wondered why exactly.

The little elf girl was lost, plain and simple. She was confused too, and she was getting hungry. As she walked along the road through the jungle, she came across a beast of some kind. Recognizing it as a herd animal, her mouth watered at the idea of it's meat. She got an urge, like a tap in the back of her mind, and she attempt to harm it. She whipped it's rear and the beast went full throttle, charging through the dense foliage. Hungrily, she chased after it. Unbeknownst to her, another elf, much older than she, returned an arrow to her quiver and cursed as the beast ran into the cover of trees.

The burly lizard man walked along the road, broody and angry. Wondering where the hell that old man had gone, his dark thoughts at what he'd do when he caught him were immediately dispelled as a slight drizzle fell upon his dry skin. His pace increased as his heart raced, and eventually he took to splashing in every puddle he could find. His moments of merriment were rudely interrupted by a large beast he knew to be a buffalo burst from the jungle beside the road! It was running, high speed, straight at him!

Leara, the drow, stood in front of the caravan, which had stopped completely due to her presence. They showed no signs of hostility, only caution, despite plainly seeing she was a drow. Quite the good sign!
