Right...
So, here's the deal with this RPG. You are an ancient hero, hailing from one of the two most powerful empires of the time; Greece or Rome. You will travel the land on quests, slaying monsters, or even join the battle against the opposing country or bring your chosen city-state to power.
Here is the character sheet:

Name: I'd prefer it to be Greek or Roman, you know.
Age: Be reasonable
Gender: This could be important. Male or female, yeah?
God/Goddess: Your primary deity. This is extremely important, as this determines whose blessing you receive, and the blessing is one of your main powers. It does not have to be a major god or goddess, all gods will give equally powerful blessings.
Country: Greek or Rome. Important, depending on the situation. You can of course, travel to the opposing country.
Level: 1[0/20]
You have 20 points to distribute among your attributes, below.
Strength: How physically strong you are.
Wisdom: How smart you are.
Agility: How dextrous you are.
Charisma: How convincing you are.
Endurance: How tough you are.
Health: Leave this blank for now.
Fame: 0
Equipment: Food, Water
Weapon: Standard Bronze Sword/Standard Bronze Spear. Pick 1.
Armor: Rough Cloth
Blessing: Leave this blank for now.
Skills: None
Quests: None
Enemies: None
Allies: None
Team: None

Right...so, I will accept a maximum of 3 people. I require people to read and follow my posts, and I would prefer proper grammar to be used, thank you.

You drink the water and use it to clean your injuries. The cool water makes your burns feel much better. You pray to Zeus for luck. Aineias nods and picks you up; he's pretty strong. After almost the entire day, he carries you to town, to the temple you got the quest at. What now?

The priest nods and sighs.
"Well, you are to be rewarded," he says. He uses his healing powers to heal your wounds. "You will have free access to the temple all the time. Also, I can contact Zeus and channel his power to bless any equipment you will bring to me to imbue it with the power of the Lord of the Sky. Also, you may have 45 gold from the tithings. Bless you, thank you for bringing our brother back safely."

"...and if you get it wrong, then you can return to the palace and tell the lord mayor that I am free to continue unhindered as long as I so wish, making him swear it on the River Styx. Once you are done with that, I shall eat you. Do you agree to these terms?" The Sphinx says calmly, not seeming to notice your tone of voice.

"Very well," says the Sphinx, looking bored. "Five men are going to a temple. It begins to rain with the fury of Zeus and four of them begin to walk at a faster pace. The fifth person does not walk faster, yet he arrives at the temple at the same time as the other four men, dry, whilst they are soaking wet. How can this be?"
(Sorry I re-used a riddle, I don't know very many where the answer can't be found via google).

What is the answer?

The five men were walking to the temple, BUT on diffrent routes you never said they were together, so the fifth man was walking a shorter route outside the storm.

Or he was driving a car :P
