You are the PRIME MINISTER of the halfings of the ruins know by Taremin Footsize, this was a human city not too long ago. You were once the Diplomat to the last Prime Minister but he was killed by an a swam of GIANT KILLER BEES. You fled with your tribe out of the forest, followed by a handful of FAUN who too ran for their lifes. You can still hear the buzzing in your ears
“HONEY HONEY, STING STING, HONEY HONY
You look up at your new home and it feels you with dismay, this is not like home at all. No warm fire, No fluffy beds, No supper, no lunch, no dinner. The other halflings are looking to you now, they need leadership

You do a head count, the other halfins keep moving around, they seem scared and you think you may have counted some twice. The Fauns have started to grow bored and started to play and tease one other. As a DIPLOMAT you can tell this is just normal behavior for the Fauns, but some of the other halfins grumble about how this is inappropriate to do in front of the children.
Mrs ThumbleBranch climbs up her 6’5 child and cover his eyes. The ThumbleBranches went for a walk one day and came back with this small green halfin with tusks and raised him as their own. He was a good kid mind you, but was part of a gang called the mischief makers.

One of the adults walk up to it, holding out a flower. Its Hambul TornThumb, he is a horticulturist and is carrying a large bag of seeds. He is a miracle worker, on the last PM death he was able to change some stuff around and boosted food production by 37% so the FEAST OF PASSING was able to happen.

"Come on B-Bee Bro" he says holding out a prime nectar lilly "We like to boil these as tea, they are really sweet"
The bee buzzs happly for a moment and one Fuan start to pluck a harp.
The Bee moves in closer and skewers Hambul in his eye. The stinger comes out the other side of his skull. He drops the flower and starts making strange noises his body twitching back and forth
His wife Screams,
The Faun Run
So do the Halfings
You are about to but see as the bee starts to carry Humbul away his wife holding on and being liftted too

You Grab her round her waist and try to shake her off. The bee takes off, slowed by its three prizes. It climbs higher and higher into the sky. The bag falls off first and lands into a nearby well.
She then loses her grip you both fall and you hand hard.
Broken ankle?
She wont stop screaming, but the bee is leaving however you think you see more coming from the forest.
You cannot see where the Fuans or the Halfings have gone.
You see a tavan with its door shut, a magic shop it door also shut but has a broken window and a house that is missing its door, but everything else is fine.
The Magic shop smells like burning

Dragging the screaming widow with you. You painful push her in the broken window.
It smells horrid to your SUPER SMELLING NOSE.
The room is unlit, but thanks to your LOW LIGHT VISION and the glowing bottles on the shelf you are able to see somewhat.
Peering around you see most of the stuff that is worth money has been cleared out and think most of the stuff that is still there is snake oil.
You hear a knocking from the backroom.
Widow TornThumb is still crying, but its more of a whimper now

You get in close and tell her it will be okay, that she should trust you and you will get her through this.
She sniffs heavily and gives you a weak smile. She smells of flowers and it comes past the smell of burning in this shop.
The Back Room banging stops.
>Check out the tubs of magic loot (2d6 Vs 7 first Three rollers)

2 Rings with a star on them, 4 Rings with a Frog on them, 1 Ring that has a red orb on it. 6 Rings with a lizard on it.
On the shelf under the counter you find:
2 Healing potions, out-of-date.
5 Black and white spotted seeds around the size of a pint glass. They kinda look like sunflower and could act as TWO MEALS
You can no longer hear any buzzing outside
You are getting hungry, Stress makes halfings eat

As you open the till a large TING sound rings out. There is a sudden movement in the back room sounds like something heavy falling. Torntumb whimpers, stands up and walks over to you.
“How is your leg, it looks very sore” She asks, wiping the tears from here eyes.
You look down, your left ankle has turned a blueberry color and hurts to put too much pressure on it
The till is empty baring a handful of bottle caps. You are confused to why they would be in here. Maybe magic?

You have misgivings about drinking this on a empty stomach but give it a go anyway.
You crack the seal, it smells like a curry fart but you down it in one.

You put all the stuff you picked up into your pack pulling out your lunch to make space. You and Tornthumb eat the two loafs of bread, a block of cheese, dryed ham, pickled onions, pickled eggs, 1/2 a jar of blueberry jam, three apples, two pears and a bottle of ale.
You were unsurprising at how little she ate, just losing her husband and all.
Her eyes look at the Black and white seeds, but she didnt say anything

You hear creaking from the other room. Like someone creeping around.

>Leave Check for your friends

Thumbtorn nods and stands back. She grabs a tray from the side to use as a weapon, just in case
As you open the room to the back door you see another halfing halfway out the window. The room is a mess, a potion lab/ enchating table has been knocked over and broken glass was all over the room.
Tubs of spell ingredients have been opened up and eaten and a spell book lay next to a roaring fireplace a few of its pages have been torn out to use for kindling. A long thin rapier is being used as a firepoker.
“Oh Mr Prime Minster Sir. I thought you be one of those Ani-mat-ed object things” Said Panwrick Innerwind. He gestured to a smashed tea set that littered the ground. “I started to follow me around it did. Try to feed me poison I recon” Bits of eye of newt where stuck in his teeth. He looked past you and spotted ThumbTorn
“Ay, you alright girl” He called out “Nastie bee be gone now right?”
ThumbTorn begans to tear up again and moves to the other side of the shop
“So Mr Prime Minster Sir, when we get some lunch going. I been staving all day”
He reachs into his pocket and pulls out a bat wing and begins to chew on it.

He stares at them and takes two from you. Holding them up to the light he then gets a flash of an idea.
"I know two ways to test them" he grins tossing one into the fire and pulling the other over his pudgy finger. "You can stick your hand in the fire its quiwite wooool" he says dribbling.
He rolled his tounge around his mouth for a few moments before it began to spill out and dangle a clear 8 inches from his lips.
"Pooh" he moans trying to push it back in only to have it stick to his glove.
Two more things happen after that. A large pop noise comes from the fire and his skin begins to match the colour of the wall behind him

>what do?

>>21678
Stand in awe.

Get the ring back out of the fire with the rapier

>>21678
Well then. Let's take the ring off before things get out of control

>>21743
On second thought, changing to stop the test.

While you can still see panic his skin and clothes are completely transparent now. His hand still stuck to his tounge he try's to free it only getting his other hand stuck too. Then the whole thing stuck to the floor.
Then he falls over breaking the enchament table clear in two. You are able get the ring off his finger now that he is stuck to the ground. However the effect doesn't end.
Leaving him there you rush over and hoop the now snapped ring with the point of the rapier.
The magic glow seems to be missing from both the rings now.

The Story so Far
You are PRIME MINISTER Taremin Footsize. Your halfing community had to fee from GIANT KILLER BEES that over took your home to a nearby ruins,
The Halfings then to like more comfy surroundings and are freaking out about their new ‘home’
Some Fauns traveled with you but their lavish way of life made the others uncomfortable
Just as you just finished your head count when you were attack by one GIANT KILLER BEE.
The bee killed Mr TornThumb who tried to make friends with it and carried him, his bag-o-seed, his wife and yourself.
The Bag was dropped into a well just outside of town while you and Widow TornThumb fell you broke your ankle in the fall. Somthing you would soon fix with a healing potion that burned while you drank it.
Escaping to the magic shop you ate your lunch and got some loot, you were able to calm down TornThumb but think she still is in a state of shock.
Checking out the backroom you run into Innerwind, a Handyman, who had eaten alot of the magic ingredients, torn up a spell book, used a sword for a fire poker, damaged a potion brewing table and smashed a magical tea set that made magical food.
You showed him the magic rings that you found. He tossed one in the fire and placed one of his finger.
The one ring in the fire exploded, the other made his tongue super long and his body transparent.
In your mind you feel like living in this city is safer then going back to the forest, but this might change depending on the other groups that live here.

You leave Inner wind on the floor tied up in his own tongue, he cant get in any more trouble right?
