straight, shoulder length blond hair and slender

It is a beautiful morning as I pass through the town and obtain a few extra supplies. An elf is not such a common sight in this mostly-human town so the citizens look at me with some curiosity, but they are polite and civil. I go out the town gates and feel a gentle breeze blow through my hair. It is indeed a beautiful day, with only a few clouds in the blue sky, and the sun is bright.

I see that there are groups of novice adventurers not unlike myself who have congregated, and talking to a few of them I hear that the nearby forests are infested with slimes and the mayor of the town has offered a bounty for clearing them away as they are hampering new development. They are sort of like blobs of gelatin, disgusting looking but relatively easy to kill. There are rumours that their inner liquid has an aphrodisiac effect, valuable to alchemists for making potions among other things. There have also been rumours of monstrous slimes as large as houses, of acidic slimes that can eat through steel, but if such dangerous monsters really existed the town would be much more panicked, wouldn't it?

There are some adventurers who have congregated into parties, some led by one or two clearly more experienced adventurers.
