Story Progression

Arrival

 * 1) The players arrive by boat after the opening scene
 * 2) Land at the docks of Seaside Town, are instructed to go visit the Council of Loathing
 * 3) * When the players enter for the first time, the Council immediately begins arguing amongst themselves. The arguing soon turns to blows, and the smallest of the group is knocked unconscious. When the group notices the players watching them, they freeze, adjust their ties and sit back down.
 * 4) * They take turns speaking, interrupting each other: "Adventurers! We've been waiting for your kind to show up for quite some time now. As I'm sure you're aware, our King has been captured by the Naughty Sorceress, leaving us in charge. If I must be honest, things have not been going so hot...
 * 5) * "You look a little wimpier than we were expecting. What are you, Level 1? Whatever, before you can go after our King, we need you to clean up all of the messes that appeared since the Naughty Sorceress showed up. Things have gotten... weird.
 * 6) * "Why don't you start here in Seaside Town? I think there's some low-level baby stuff going on in The Market Square that can help you find your sea legs. And don't come back until you've put some meat on those bones!"
 * 7) The players head to the Market Square, and undertake side quests:
 * 8) Lending a Hand (and a foot)
 * 9) Helping Make Ends Meat
 * 10) The Fighters of Fighting (Balloon only appears after completing one of the above)
 * 11) After completing The Fighters of Fighting, the players are directed to head to the Big Mountains and find the Hermit in the Hermitage
