JESTER'S JOKES WINNER
Well I'm extremely impressed with the number of jokes we got in total, so many creative people (some of them even funny!) In the end the descision was unanimous and the winner was /u/rabidrab. Rab selected 'Blades of Time' as their prize and chose hero origin stories as the theme of the next challenge. Congratulations again RabidRab!
TODAYS THEME: HERO ORIGIN STORIES!
Come up with interesting short origin tales for characters you might find in the world as hirable heroes. Here's a few we have at the moment:
* I worked as a border guard between two warring nations, the things I saw I struggle to relive, I really do
* My past? I was brought to life by a wizard, he didn't tell me anything, my age is unknown to me, am I a real person brought to life or some wizard conjuration, hmm, perhaps I've said too much
* I was a mushroom picker, used to traverse many woodlands searching for mushrooms, of course in this time I had my fair share of trouble, marauders, goblins, thugs and fools, but I survived, picking mushrooms, some were good for healing, some eating, some for, other things
* I was a mine guard, used to make sure none of the miners stole any ore and that no outsiders tried to sneak in, boring job truth be told, the miners were good folk
* I was a sailor, saw a lot of waves in my life, a lot of storms, even pirates once or twice, an eventful life at sea
* I helped a short little goblin carry an enchanted bracelet to a mountain to dispose of it, we stopped a big evil from spreading into the land, you didn't hear about it?
* I do not have too interesting a story to tell I'm afraid
* I spent my youth in a village, boy I thought I was in for a boring life, our village got raided when I was around 13 years old, I tried to fight but I was enslaved instead, spent some years as a slave working in a mine, but with the help of others we revolted, as a free man I took to hunting slavers for a while, taking their ill-gotten gains and freeing their servants, gained a name for myself even
