Author's note: I have lots of ideas for this, so look forward to relatively frequent updates at all odd hours of the night! Plenty of characters, character development, and mini plots. If you have an idea, a prompt, or a character you'd like to share, send me a PM, or leave a review. Criticism is always welcome, since it helps an author to improve!
Disclaimer: Not my game, but I do own all character development and also the PC's soul. Which isn't creepy at all.
New Tristram has never been quiet. Everyone in town can freely attest to that. After all, in a place where the dead begin to rise, and evil permeates the air for miles around, it's only fair to say that the town itself is not going to be normal.
And then a stranger walks into town. He's a demon hunter, going by the name of Rowan, though everyone is pretty sure that his name is something else. But nobody in town is brave enough to ask him about it, and nobody ever will.
Haedrig Eamon is glad to have the stranger in town. His blacksmithing business is finally picking up, and with all the money and materials he gets, he can finally afford to make his forge nicer. And, as a result, he himself has been getting better and better at smithing, which he hasn't been able to do for years. Maybe he can finally get Rumford some nice weapons, rather than those pathetic excuses for blades they've been using.
Captain Rumford doesn't know what to think. The stranger helped him out at the gate, when they should have been overwhelmed, so he's thankful for that. However, he doesn't know how any one man can try to take down the Skeleton King. That damn fool, though, is determined to try. Rumford can only hope that he doesn't get himself killed. That would be a true waste of a kind soul in an otherwise harsh world.
Leah knows exactly what to think about him. Trouble. This one man somehow single handedly fights off about twenty monsters at once, and also manages to escape with his life, and unscathed? There is absolutely no way that he isn't a messenger of Diablo. This "Rowan" will most likely kill them all if they aren't careful, and she is determined not to let that happen. So she will take him to the cathedral. She will help him rescue Uncle Cain. But she will not let him harm her uncle, or anyone else in their small town. And that's a promise she intends to keep.
