After an exceedingly long reprieve from the life of an adventurer, as the Charter Bearers devoted an entire year of time to laying the foundations of their new Kingdom, our Heroes finally have the opportunity to step back out into the Untamed wilds of the Greenbelt!
Two young children, apparently orphans arrived suddenly and unexpectedly in the city of Ascension. At the gate the older of the two orphans approached a guardsmen and immediately asked to see " The Big One, and the one with The shiny Thing". Confused the guardsmen took his concerns to Ascensions Warden; Akiros Insmorte. Akiros could only assume the two orphan children were requesting audience with the Kingdoms Rulers, "The Big One" could really only be Uldon, Breaker of Men after all. He ordered the orphans be taken to the cities local Inn "The Trapped Thycrine" to be cared for until the Rulers gave additional orders.
After being informed of the strange situation our heroes made their way to the Inn to find the place in chaos! The children were apparently BEYOND rambunctious and had caused a good deal of trouble already. Seemingly able to produce peanut butter and jelly sandwiches from out of thin air, and much to acrobatically inclined from the guardsmen to keep up with the pair of children had worn 4 grown men and one very irate Innkeeper down to the breaking point!
As our heroes arrived the small girl was busy running circles around two of the men, causing them to run head first into tables, trip over chairs, and smash into each other while trying to catch her! The other child, a boy, was hanging from the inns wooden chandelier and using his feet to fend off the attack of the plump woman Innkeeper who was poking at him with a broom!
Needless to say once our Heroes arrived the situation quickly calmed as Marshal used his commanding voice and presence to bring the children under control.
Flynn was able to quickly determine that the two orphaned children were in fact Pervilash and Tyg-Titter-Tut in human guise! The two fey creatures had come to Ascension at the request of a more powerful fey, a Dryad known as Mistress Tieressa, but had become so fascinated with the world of the Bigginses and this strange thing called a "Sandwhich" that they had momentarily forgotten why they even came here at all. (Though the utter lack of Sand in the SANDwhich confused Pervilash greatly, Why call something by a name if the name is false after all?).
After much questioning (and scolding from Marshal) all of this was revealed to our heroes. Pervilash presented to them an acorn he claimed was given to him by Tieressa, a way for them to transport themselves to her glade.
Eager to final take a break from the UNBELIEVABLE hardships of ruling over a fledgling nation our heroes quickly gathered their gear and weapons, and , after a bit more shenanigans from the Fey with Uldon's arrival at the Inn, used the acorn to transport themselves BACK INTO THE WILDS!
With a flash of green light and a momentary feeling of great unease our heroes find themselves standing in a forest glade, a small pool of water at its center with the blue sky clear above it through the openings of the tress scattered through out. At the bank of the water sat a regal looking creature, a female Fey creature. She sobbed slowly, her tears causing small ripples on the pools otherwise mirror like surface. As our heroes arrive she turns to them, tears still in her eyes lending even more heavily to the look of a maiden in distress, and she speaks with a voice like so many songbirds.
" Please great heroes of the land, the forest is in danger and I have not the power to save it. You are it's last hope..."
She's going to give us a sad story about a bunch of asshole humans who are cutting down all the forest and paving over the hills with roads...

ReplyDeleteWhichever NPC is most appropriate, I will tell them to keep a close eye on the Sootscale tribe. I think for now we're okay, but we may need to integrate them into the city and that could be tricky.
