adventurer

One who enjoys adventures.

European adventurers found themselves within a watery world, a tapestry of streams, channels, wetlands, lakes and lush riparian meadows enriched by floodwaters from the Mississippi River.

A person who seeks a fortune in new and possibly dangerous enterprises.

A soldier of fortune, a speculator.

A person who tries to advance their social position by somewhat devious means.

A player of adventure games or text adventures.

Meanwhile, the ranks of adventurers grow, be they manic puzzle-solvers or people like me, who like to look under the Robners' beds just for the hell of it.

It's a challenging game for the inexperienced adventurer, and should even give the hardened pros a bit of a run for their money.
