The Road to Saltmarsh

[Garrett Voltaire]

A well-groomed yet unassuming young lad sat in a corner of the wagon, scribbling furiously into a thick book as a bored-looking brown owl sat perched on his shoulder. He would occasionally pause his writing to look around very studiously at his surroundings and listen in on some conversations before diving nose-first back into the tome. He was dressed in simple, elegant robes, but didn't seem particularly bothered by the dust and wood splinters rapidly accumulating on his person. This was Garrett Voltaire, a novice wizard and student from the University of Magical arts. This was a semester focused on field work, so he was to go out into the world and accumulate some practical experience. Going on an adventure and helping some townsfolk with their problems seemed like a great way to combine some real world experience and community service together in one go.
