NPC S1E1 - "New Game"

In this brand new serial pilot we meet Bax, a shopkeep in the starter village of Highdale on the border of Tutorial Forest. His life has been pretty normal, but the heroes coming through town know just how to push Bax' buttons. Can Bax manage to exact revenge for their insults? Will the trip change him forever? Sounds like it's going to take a few play sessions to find out.
