Yes typos, and tenses mismatches are more than present.

In a land far away, where dragons are jokes, where news travel slower than winter, a village was built. A village, not known for it's huge mineral deposits, not known for mythical treasures, nor legendary blacksmiths. It is known for one far more important thing.

Brew. Not just any brew you can buy everywhere. It's more than brew, more than ale, even grog. When you get drunk from it, you don't vomit, you don't have headaches. Some call it "Moonshine", some call it "Ambrosia", but it's mostly referred to as "The Brew". Kings, princes, generals dukes came from all over the land to buy the secret recipe of the brew. None ever received it. Villagers never gave out the secret of the brew, no matter how many riches were they offered. Probably because, even they did not know, why is their brew so good.

Halfbridge was the name of the village. On the contrary of your thoughts, the bridge is whole, the name refers to the payment. The story behind the building of the bridge is quite short and boring. But the story of the payment is everything but boring. Before the bridge's foundations were laid, the leading builder demanded half of the payment in advance. Villagers widely known for their stubbornness, refused at first. But the builder was a miser. And such a trait couldn't be matched by stubbornness, no matter how hard it was. They needed that bridge. They accepted, oh but at what price. Builder received his money, but with it he took the urge for revenge of the villagers on him. A burden known to bring down kings, not to mention small time misers.

Revenge is said to be most beautiful when served cold. Halfbridgers did well and even more than that. Few days before the bridge's completion, leading builder struck again. He demanded the second half. Instead he was asked to rest for few days to see the first dragon hunt celebration, under the excuse of delayed funding. He and his fellow workers accepted. Oh the wild ride they got themselves into. That night the brew was taken out for drinking and spilling, in sufficient amounts to cause widespread alcohol poisoning in a smaller kingdom. The drinking began, before the meal, that never came. Miser worker and his fellows drank, and drank as much as their bellies could hold, until...

...they were so drunk, that a local idiot farting at a torch looked like a fire spewing dragon. Workers asked the barely drunk villager's of the dragon. Villagers, planned this and started panicking and begging the workers to save them from the dragon. Oh the chaos and havos and the mayhem, caused by the comical chase trough the village. The idiot ran trough, around and under the village, he was chased by brew frenzied workers and enraged villagers. The idiot ran thinking the chasers were trying to take his torch away. Workers ran after the fire dragon to slay him and rescue.the villagers, excluding the fact they did not exist. Villagers ran after both workers and the idiot trying to lure them out of the village. Reaching the dead end, idiot had nothing to do but to face his pursuers. He pointed his... nozzle and the torch at the workers. Being drunken just enough to know when it's the time to turn and run from frenzied dragon, workers ran. Villager's too.

The village was like a waiting bomb, all riddled with brew kegs. A bomb that din't go off. In the end, the idiot chased the workers out of the village, few miles away, just enough to get lost for a while.The victory was won, village remained more than a smoking crater, the bridge was... manually finished. Workers never bothered to return for rest of the payment, brew buying visits ceased and world was informed of a dragon lurking in a small village of Halfbridge, somewhere at the edges of nowhere. The village returned to normal, no matter how ironic that sounded. But no one was aware of the oncoming invasion of newly trained dragonslayers, coming to save the village and the kingdom.

Ok it's done. Yes typos, and tenses mismatches are more than present.

Occupation and Interests: Fixing things and plans for building siege weapons of doom.

Living place: Small house on the outskirts of the village.

History: As a child Velmar always showed his fascination for machines. Until one day he was taken to the capital to watch the coronation of the new king.He saw Huge catapults and various siege weapons. He found his new calling in life that day. Unfortunately, he didn't receive required funding, so he took the job as a repairman. Spending almost no time at his home, he can be found strolling the streets or repairing various elements of the village. Also he doesn't drink alcohol.

Living place: Near the water in a house with a forge.

History: Kamica comes from a family of blacksmiths, one of his ancestors was one of the founders of the village even. Not much interresting happend, he learned smithing on a young age, and his mother taught him some alchemy, he went on to improve both, eventually becomming the best of the village at both.

Other info: Kamica isn't payed for his job the usual way, he refuses gold, and will smith anything, as long as he gets something in return, for farmers, and other food producers, it is food, for any other person, it is metal, other than that, he asks people to give him all sorts of plants, and things they see as useless. Which he uses for his alchemy.
