NPC Info and animation rough sketch
🕑 Added 2019-02-09 22:37:52 +0000 UTCI think I should start doing something like this as Roundabout progresses and gets unveiled before the demo.
This is Fivryl Albastrine, daughter of Fumvyr the town blacksmith and sister to Fivruel, her twin brother. She was married to Strand Tenimur, a soldier.
Five years ago, a year after she married Strand, their planet succumbed to Blightlust.
A year after, Mahalai found the planet and erected a totem of protection that kept a small portion of the planet safe from the encroaching insatiable pestilence.
His father, Fumvyr died from the fumes of a blighted ore.
Her twin brother Fivruel took the hammer and continued their father's work.
Mahalai granted Fivruel the arts of the Featheration Forge and became a Sacred Smith.
For two years, Fivruel supplied the soldiers with sacred weaponry to resist the Blightlust, however, one day the calling of the Blightlust corrupted Fivruel's heart and he vanished to the haze of decay.
Mahalai formed a small group of adventurers along with Strand to find Fivruel, but before trekking the fog, Mahalai passed the Sacred Smith duty to Fivryl and she says:
"In the event that none of us comes back, one day, my totem's light will reach my kind and will bestow rescue and aid, be sure to hone the Forge for they will need all the help you can give them."
Three years has passed and none of them came back.
Until one day, ??? arrived at the town, seeking the totem's light.
Fivryl gave her all the information and sacred weaponry with hopeless expectation that he will embrace the same fate as anyone who ventures the haze.
To her surprise, ??? came back after a day with clues on how to go further the mist.
Fivryl, with a sudden spark of hope requested that ??? find her husband and the rest of the party that left years ago.
Once again, ??? came back alone with more clues about the haze.
??? showed Fivryl a golden ring he found stuck in a monster's tooth. To her shock, it was her husband's ring.
Stunned and confused, Fivryl stood silent that day and ??? went on to the haze once more.
The next day, Fivryl gives ??? a golden sacred charm forged from her own wedding ring while she wore her dead husband's loop. She then uttered:
"I knew in my heart that he was already long gone. But you, ??? helped me close that chapter. After the many things the Blight has taken from me, I am alive and free. You are the opposite of the Blight and I will give my all to help you purge it."
"I know you have fulfilled my quest, but I have come to ask you once more, an assistance to make me give it my all. For many years I have been so lonely and deprived. I want to do my best at the forge and you grant my desire as I grant you yesterday's reward."
Fivryl undresses and:
She took Strand's ring off after that and threw it to the forge.

very heart on the scenario followup! as for the 'next' stuff to happen, yes you'll need to do some gift giving and quests to go further than the oral interaction. There will be 3 more NPC's that will have this kind of interaction.

Widow one day then lover the next. Truly, a solitary love is a sad one. However, ??? feels uncomfortable for a woman who found out she was a widow after all this time would be willing to share furs so soon after. Alas, ??? doesn't feel the same way as ??? and believes it normal. I wonder how ??? reading this feels of the story. What's that? Ah, right you are. ??? says ??? should just live in the moment as no one knows what the morrow will bring. By the by, if getting her to have some fun ends up as a bonus event, maybe catering to her likes will work into this. Finding a rare mineral or grilling the perfect beast meat sounds like a typical yet will-do optional quest.
