Theres this guy Bob. Hes a heroic fighter and his family has been entrapped by his kingdom lord. He was trying to start a revolution by overthrowing the anarchy he lives in. He plans to go to the castle of the evil king to fight through the maze and traps of 100 square miles to get to his family without dying.
Sharpening his favorite blade, which had slain many enemies in the past, Bob carefully took his time to make sure all of his equipment was in good shape. He walked over to the table; on top was a long and strong archer's bow, its wood strengthened by a chemical recipe passed down by the family. Bob picked up the bow and placed crafted arrows into his quiver, muttering a praise to God for his family's safety. Picking up his blade and placing it into his sheath, Bob dressed into a few armors, but decided not to wear all of his protective gear to remain agile and on his toes at all times.
He began his journey to the east, though his target is due north, he must go seek his brother-in-arms. Their history goes back to the conflicts that put the current absolute monarch in place. A particlular event that comes to mind is an oracle visited on the way home. She said, "Warriors, be wary of the authority put in place. His reign will not be one of lace." Oracles were of a revered people, so, at that moment, we made a promise that when the king went sour, we would take up arms and dispose of him ourselves. (crap, that's 5 lines)
