## A grung enters the longhouse

Ringo was nervous when he entered the longhouse, he knows no one. He walked up the counter and asked for food, when he is about to pay with his gold, he got stopped by the barkeeper. The barkeeper said that everything in the longhouse is free. Ringo was glad. As he was about to sleep in his bucket of water, a tabaxi stares at Ringo. Ringo met his first friend.

## First Expedition

Ringo joined the expedition not knowing anything because he can't read common. It was the expedition towards a hex full of trees but now life is present. The group carefully scouts the area, they feel the place is weird. The group then found an oni that seems to be guarding the place. A battle ensued between the oni and the group. Ringo and his group got almost wrecked by the oni but managed fight back against it. Luckily, the oni was defeated and the group returned with some wood. It was speculated that the giants used the place as their "garden".

## Wild Expedition

Ringo went on a expedition towards a forested land. In this expedition, they encountered a place full of wild magic. They found a mushroom that has some weird random effects. The group then fought an undead fairy fighting other fairies. Together with the other fairies, they managed to defeat the undead fairy. Ringo found a decanter of endless water, this would help sustain Ringo's moistness. Ringo brought back some of the mushroom, and showed it to Jacob. Ringo said the mushrooms are magical, Jacob ate it. At first, few pink frogs suddenly spew out from Jacob's mouth. One pink frog turns into a crocodile inside the longhouse. People panicked but thankfully managed to get rid of the crocodile.

## Backstory

Ringo is a Grung born from an unknown swamp located a few miles away from the town of Heeratos. Ringo's life in the little Grung village was peaceful, there was no threat to him and to the village. Until one day, Ringo found a bandit camp. A curious little grung he is, he wandered closer to the camp and was spotted by the bandits. The bandits immediately captured him, Ringo was about to be sold off to the slave market but the bandits thought that he could be useful. The bandits took Ringo to the Black Spiders, a big but secretive crime syndicate. They took Ringo under their wings, teaching him their ways. Ringo is taught their thieve's cant since Ringo finds it hard to communicate with them. They taught him how to kill, and with Ringo's natural abilities and his stealthy talents, he became the syndicate's contract killer and becomes part of the secret assassin group the Grenins. Through the syndicate, Ringo is given a parchment that has the target's info. Whenever Ringo succeeds in disposing the target, Ringo is then rewarded with lots of money. But something happened to the syndicate, the government found their hideout. One by one, the higher ups being detained, the middlemen being tortured by the military, and the lower members scattered and dispersed like flies flying away from their predators. Ringo was only given a couple of gold by his caretaker, and was told "Yer on yer own, kid." Ringo is free, but what shall he do with his freedom.... he only knows "KILL". Fortunately, he found out about the expedition to the new world, and was excited (and nervous) to follow a path with no restraints. He packs up his stuff, bought the necessary items for his journey, and headed to one of the ships that is headed towards the new world.
