You're sitting in the inn, The Three Kings, in the city of Ferinox. Your friend, Darikinth, is looking around for more information about the fires around the city, and he should be back soon. That's exactly what you think as he walks through the room. "Any luck sifting through the gossip in the inn?" he asks.

| "Bah, only faint traces of myths and legends. Oh, and that the bartender is upset with me trying to bring my favorite shovel into an inn. I'll be lucky if someone doesn't see it next to the front entrance and steals it," I reply. |

| "I heard some rumors on the street about the legends of the Elemental Kings... Could just be nothing, but it's the most popular story out there," Darikinth says. |

I stand up, pay the bartender for the drink, making sure to leave no tips, as he forced me away from my precious shovel, and I start to walk outside, saying the Darikinth, "Elemental Kings... We'll have to see when we get to the bodies, right?"
I open the door, and look out to see whether anyone stole my favorite shovel, and if they didn't, might as well grab it. |

| Your shovel is there, but there's also a fire nearby. As you leave, a Dwarf breaks into the inn and shouts "Fire!" |

(Do you, by chance, happen to have the link to the name generator? I lost it. xD)
"Darikinth, my good friend, we're about to witness a lot of work being made. Come on, let's try to find the source," I say, grabbing my shovel, useful for both burying victims of highwaymen and making victims out of highwaymen, and sniffing the air for gaseous scents or sulfuric ones. |

(Just look around seventhsanctum.com. It's there somewhere, along with a few dozen others.)
The fire's quite large, as you can't easily see past it. Perhaps trying to get people to safety would be a better use of time, and you can ask them if they saw anything strange? |

Very well, less work, less pay, and more clues, which turns into even more pay.
"Ok, evacuate the area! Move it! This shovel's getting old! Would hate to have to waste it's durability on you!" I say, brandishing the shovel... OF POWAH!!! :D |

| You see one guy that the building collapsed on, and the fire is getting nearer. |

| I motion to Darikinth and I start towards the man, wielding the almighty Shovel of Power! |

It's just a normal shovel...
But you and Darikinth manage to help him survive. Also, there's a group of Dwarves coming by with buckets of water right now, and they spray water of the fire, putting it out. |

I know, but I worship the shovel. :D
Anyways... I ask him, "You ok?" |

The fire is active again, just as much as it was before the people came to put it out. No, moreso. There's definitely magic involved.

| "Well, Darikinth. Best we go into the fire. We gotta mage around here, somewhere. I think..." I say, grimacing at the flames. |

"Indeed. Once the Dwarves put it out again, go along the road this way. I'll try to go along a back alley and cut off any attempt at escape."

| "Very well. Sounds like a plan. I do have a shovel after all. Any undertaker knows how to kill with this. How else do we fend off highwaymen?" I say, cracking a joke to release tension while I wait for the fires to be extinguished. |

The fire is out quickly, and you see a relatively tall elf with a red robe just standing there as well. It does seem quite suspicious...

I approach the elf.
"Hey, have you seen what caused this?" I ask, ready to move if he attacks. |

He makes a hand motion, and the flames appear again. This time, it's a ring of fire around you.

"You're kidding me!" I say, as I look at the mage.
"Someone, help!" I call out, hoping the dwarves come with some water. In desperation, I try to toss my shovel over the flames and to make it land on the mage, hoping it'll distract him for a moment so the dwarves can quench the flames in relative safety. |

Darikinth comes in from behind, and knocks the Fire Mage unconscious with an empty mug that seems to once have contained bee.r or ale. That puts out the fire quite quickly.
