This post for the lovely Squamous, who asked for 'giant rats in a dungeon' style starter quests for baby mercenaries. I've taken this to mean adventurers, as mercenaries and adventurers are slightly different social niches in the Barony, admittedly with plenty of crossover. A note on levelling in Barony: I consider D template to represent a fully developed and talented professional, not a reality-warping, fate-bound hero. There are a lot of talented and experienced professionals in the world. You're not that special. You probably get your A template after something like boot camp or a bachelor's degree or an apprenticeship....
