Tim sat on the rickety stool just inside the village gates, he struggled to stay awake whilst fighting off the slight drunkenness as a result of having one too many drinks before his shift as night guard started. He found himself half nodding off every now and then and was forced to fight to stay awake.
It had been a quiet night so far, very little activity, as usual really.
He often found himself wondering why this tiny village even needed someone to be up all night guarding the gate. Heck he wasn't even an actual guard!
Due to the small size of their village the villages tended to rotate responsibilities when it came to guarding the village. He just had the unfortunate timing of being of duty the night that a whole group of adventures came into town.
He sighed whitfully to himself as he remembered some of the stories they had told him not too long ago. A life of action and adventure, danger and power, it was just so different to what his slow and boring life was.
