Quick as a cat, the Yellow Tabi races off into the trees. A good number of Apprentices wanted to settle in for the night and enjoy a drink, but seeing as they were a team, they all joined in the hunt. However, keeping up with a cat proved quite the challenge. Near impossible even...
Then suddenly a seductive silky voice slips through the trees as a Dark Elf wielding a dagger steps into the edge of the Apprentices eye line. Her cloak flows in the wind as her eyes pierce the darkness.
Mysterious Voice: "Are you boys lost? Now that war has been declared, it's not safe to be wandering around at night, yes?"
Before the Apprentices could respond, as suddenly as she arrived, like smoke from a burnt match, she was gone... And so was the Yellow Cat, leaving the Apprentices completely and utterly lost.
With the sun already setting, and Stars Reach Castle seemingly somewhere down the path, the Apprentices take a moment to reflect on the last several days. Since they were so fond of Hilde, their hoppity guard and navigator, the first place the Apprentices wanted to visit on the way to the castle was her hometown, the Bunny Burrow. While they didn't get to meet Hildes sisters, brothers, cousins, 2nd cousins, aunts, uncles, and good ol' gammy, they did get to meet the Traveling Merchant, Mavie!
This winged woman and seller of wares swept away the Apprentice's hearts with her warm smile. Not only was this helpful harpy beautiful, but she was willing to lend a hand and offered to give the Apprentices a ride. Which that gladly took! However, it was in the opposite direction...
Arriving in the town of Brindle, the Apprentices found a tavern flooding with alcohol. Well, not literally flooding, but the corks on the kegs were busted open like a broken dam. There was one woman that was dumping drinks into her mouth like it was a contest. Brea was her name, and beverages were her game, but when she offered the boys a beer, a strange-looking stranger stepped in and offered the Apprentices something strange.
Everyone has heard of the term, "half-elf" but this woman gives the term a new definition. Was she a human? Was she a Dark Elf? And was that some sort of mechanical device where her heart is supposed to be? The Apprentices had no idea, but when she offered them mushrooms, a few Apprentices thought it was a good idea to join in the experiment. For science of course.
The Apprentices had a lot of fun that night. Maybe too much fun. Especially the ones that took mushrooms, because one of them went as far as stripping down into their birthday suit and ran naked through the streets. This, of course, ended the party because the entire party was arrested by the famous Hundred Quest Knight, Sir Quintus.
Being thrown into the black cells of Fort Isaac, the Apprentice found a black feline. This mysterious Rogue offered to break the boys out but they decided to decline. Soon after the Fort was caught off guard and ambushed by Goblins. Kidnapping the Apprentices, the Goblins could have done whatever they wanted, but instead of putting the Apprentices in a Goblin prison, in typical Goblin fashion, they began fighting amongst themselves and provided the perfect escape opportunity.
Making their exit through the Goblin Town tunnels, the Apprentices eventually found a rope ladder and climbed up to freedom. After finding themselves in a forest, they found something else. Or should I say, someone else? The most beautiful bowman they ever say was before them. However, the Apprentices didn't have long to appreciate the view because, before long, the elven archer turned her longbow on them.
That's when the Apprentices found themselves out of the frying pan, and in the fire. Or perhaps out of the fridge and into the freezer? Suddenly caught between a Dark Greffen, a Knight and the gigantic Goblin. Not including the hoards of Goblins in hiding! Swords were swinging, arrows were flying and spells were swirling. However, there just weren't enough Apprentices to hold back the tide of Goblins...
After a crushing defeat, the Apprentices were forced to retreat to the homely house of Miss Crandle. Even though they felt bad for failing the Commander, they were happy to reunite with their friends. Everyone was there, and even one more! While the Apprentices were answering a call from nature, they found a stray cat. Or should I say they lost a stray cat, because immediately after finding the girl, she ran off...
As their eyelids grew heavy, and their minds wandered, they couldn't help but think of what life at Stars Reach would be like. Even though they have no skills and no job, the Apprentices go to bed with dreams of becoming a hero. Or at least finding an apprenticeship they can actually finish...
The End.
