On the outskirts of town, a lone man is tilling the soil on his small carrot patch, ready to replant after pulling up the latest crop only a few hours earlier. Emin had been just barely scraping by his entire life, never able to find a job that he could fit into, or was good enough to stick with. He'd been everything; potter, painter, sailor, carpenter, glassblower, upholsterer, architect, banker, sculptor, builder, every other job under the sun, and now, he's trying his hand as a farmer. As he works, he can feel the beady glare of the measly pile of carrots from behind him, and it feels like they're sat tapping their feet impatiently at him, waiting to be sold at market. He sighs, knowing already that this job won't last. The easy bit had been planting and waiting, but now that he's actually got to sell his produce, he's starting to feel more doubtful of his prospects.
Syx the kobold watches him till the carrots
Emin notices him after a few moments and pushes his straw sunhat further up his brow, gesturing to the sad pile of wilted vegetables and asking, 'Do you uhh, want to buy any of these? They might need a bit of a wash, but you can see that they've been grown fresh, and with love.' He hardly expects to make a copper out of them, but still holds up some hope. The seeds alone cost him the two silver pieces he'd made in his acting stint, so profit's out the window, but the success of making a sale isn't.
"Sure. How much do you w-want? Two Gold? One Gold? Seven little Coppers?" The kobold pulls out a coinpurse, their hand marked with a rune of chaos
Emin is taken aback by the kobolds immediate want to purchase the sorry things, but follows along anyway. 'Umm, I'll uhh, take whatever you think they're worth. But don't give me anything more than what you'd reckon you should pay. I only want the amount I've worked for, else I won't feel it's earned.' He doesn't know anything about runes, so doesn't register anything peculiar about the marking on their hand.
The kobold hands him one Gold out from the coinpurse, his rune glowing a slight bit
He chuckles in exasperation as he takes the coin and thanks him. He hasn't made this much coin from a gig in ages, but maybe this was just luck. After he's done admiring the gold piece in the sunlight, he casually says 'Your tattoo is glowing a bit, that's cool. Haven't seen ink like that before.'

Emin nods and says 'Yeah...that'll explain it...so, not to umm, stereotype, but are you from the Stronghold? It's not often I see kobolds up here on the surface, though I can't say I've been down there myself at all. Would also explain the rune, since that smacks with the mystical, just like below.'

"Oh. No, I am a-a a-acolyte of The God of Chaos, a-and this is the rune of chaos. I have w-went to the Stronghold although it is... dangerous to say the least" The kobold's rune glows again. "I don't believe I've introduce myself. My name's Syx"

'Ohh, right, I get it.' He scratches his chin, unaware he's getting mud across his face, and says 'My names Emin, though I can't say my life is as interesting as yours. Being an acolyte to a god must be fun though, I can't particularly say I've thought about any gods in a fair while, seeing as I've had enough to worry about with just myself, let alone needing someone to worship.'
