2. STORYLINE
Gimli is an albino black person of short stature of boastful personality, he goes on to a local
trade market to sell off some ancient iron artefacts he picked up off the road, when he
reached the market the people thought that he was a another white dwarf that came to sell
the gear he made.
Browsing through the market, he saw a big bellied man in the middle ages on an immense
wooden throne wearing nice clothes and Gimli thought that he might as well try his chance to
sell to this man as he was looking rather rich.
Turns out he was indeed rich and was a man looking for a good laugh, he challenged anyone
into drinking two barrels on beer then doing acrobatic moves though a course in order to
buy any product for 100 gold pieces. Gimli does not know how to do either acrobat moves
and moving through an obstacle course, but he observed and asked some other challengers,
he learnt some techniques and know some hidden traps of the obstacle course.
Knowing that his competitors that are better than him might very well win the prize, he was
pumped up and learnt some godly moves in a short period.
But in the end he was careless and fell into a pit, he blamed the other people for not telling
him of that, and also shouted out that he would win the money three times over if he had
been serious as he was the best acrobat the world has ever seen.
