The tale of the creature known widely as the Skroofie goes back many a year. Skroofie was a great and powerful leader among his people. He was actually once thought of as human. But one day that all changed. He was physically deformed after being chased and beaten with large metal clubs by children. He was cast out of the land for his deformity and was forced to find a new style of life. He searched the vast land of Valear, that he had once ruled over, foraging and hunting, trying to live just one more day. One day as he traveled he came across a cave of great wonders. He looked over the cave in and out finding many foods and treasures. This was soon his home, away from all others of the world. One stormy night though, the cave collapsed, burying Skroofie alive. It is said that if one would go searching for this creature, they successfully found the cave, and if they took one treasure from the ground, then their life would be given to Skroofie, who would live on in their body.
Nowadays all known of Skroofie is the treasure in his cave and that he once ruled the land. No one ever knew where this old 's throne sat. Though, there are many theories on this subject, and it is believed that the descendants of his royal guard live even to this very day. It is said that these guard know the secrets of Skroofie. Even where he ruled over the land from. One of the very last of these descendants was an ordinary man. If you would say being a bounty hunter was ordinary. Some would. This Royal Guard of Skroofie went by the name of Leyar. He was not a rich man, he was not a poor man. He just was. No one who met him knew how he lived moving about so much, or how he could afford many nights in the expensive inns throughout the world. He was the only left of his blood line, and because of that he had sought to find a nice woman to birth his baby. But at the very moment of this very Tale, thousands of years after the very unknown Reign of Skroofiewleikesiglunlemund - Skroofie for short - Leyar was not out to find a good woman. He was out to find his deceased lord. This searching led him to the town along Lonea Lake known as Vul, the former home of old Lord Skroofie.
Leyar walked alone on the streets of Vul. His dog, Kat was no where in site, which was strange to those that normally saw the two passing through the village. Leyar was not here for regular business this time though. Kat would just get in the way. No, no. This very day, Leyar was at Vul for a much greater purpose. He was searching for an old friend. A friend that stood many feet higher that most others of Valear. A giant if you must. A giant with stripes of orange and white covering his body. Wompy. Wompy was a good friend of Leyar's, and he was a very knowledgeable friend. It took no skill of the eye to scan the crowd ahead and spot Wompy, who was talking to a man Leyar had never seen before in his life. This was not time for games. Leyar unsheathed the rapier at his waist and charged. He stuck the man randomly in the gut, pushing his body to the ground. The crowds of people in the square ran every which way in fear. "The time has come!" Leyar yelled out. "The time of Skroofie will come once more!" He sheathed the blade back onto his belt and smiled at the giant before him. "Hello, Wompy old friend." he patted Wompy on the arm.
