The Awakening – Act VI

Written by the EM Team

    The grass beneath his tread was soft, and covered in the morning dew from a sun that was rising in the east. Each step was taken without any specific destination, and there was no greater purpose in these steps beyond wandering; the land was unfamiliar and strange, and there were no clear landmarks to guide the way, and no signs of any sort…so he wandered. His robe dragged along the ground, fraying its edges as he went…but he paid it no heed. Finally at the end of his energy for the moment, he dropped to his knees in the soft grass, and meditated. An answer would come, or a path would be found. As he grew accustomed to the scents and sounds all around him, a new and unfamiliar sound crept to his ears. He drew himself up and brushed grass from his robe, before altering his direction…and headed in the direction of the wail of anguish he’d heard.

    It took some time, but eventually he saw a thin wisp of smoke rising in the air; soon after, the smell of cooked meat reached his nose. Thinking to find himself at some sort of gypsy outpost, he was far more confused to hear noises that could only be associated with the sick and dying, and he hastened his pace. He stopped suddenly as he saw a red and white sign affixed to an ankh in front of him. While the ankh served to give him some minor comfort that he was not in completely alien circumstance, the sign brought confusion and curiosity to the forefront.

Quarantine Area! Danger! Entry Prohibited By Order Of Queen Zhah

    There was a fence to lend credence to the quarantine order, but the gates were missing, and he found no guard barring his entry. Were it truly this dangerous, would there not be more stringent measures taken? And what of this Zhah, whom the sign ostensibly claimed to be a Queen? It had seemed there was far more to know than he could have imagined.

    He was close enough now to hear the coughs and moans of the dying and deathly ill, and looking at the sign once more, he strode brazenly past the fencing, paying the sign no more attention. Perhaps the people here could answer his questions, he thought. It was only to find yet another shock as he approached, to see that what lay before him in the area were naught but gargoyles…and not even gargoyles as he knew them. He observed the strange gargoyles carefully and was already mentally cataloguing their symptoms in his head as best he could, despite his unfamiliarity with them. As he walked through the makeshift camp, he stepped onto finely grained sand and rounded the corner of a building before blanching at the sight before him, and realized that his initial assumption earlier wasn’t too far off about cooked meat. His sight was consumed by a funeral pyre, tended by two healthier looking gargoyles, who even as he watched silently threw another limp body atop it. His jaw set with determination at the sight, and despite his curiosity, he knew what had to be done.


    All initial attempts and conventional remedies had failed him; his magic was equally ineffective in curing these gargoyles of their affliction. It had been…an indeterminable amount of time since he had needed to apply himself in such a manner as this, and certainly even longer since being presented with one that would require his knowledge of alchemy. Still, with as focused as most alchemists had become on only the most basic potions, the archaic way he approached it had opened up new avenues, and he checked over the list he’d come up with. He wasn’t absolutely certain it would work, but he knew it was a better chance than they’d had before. Still, it would be dangerous to gather some of the ingredients, if they could even still be gathered. He was unsure if the Blightborn slimes could even be found, but he was fairly certain that Orcs and Terathans were too hardy to have vanished completely. Add that to sugar and vanilla, which any horticulturist should be able to gather, and a cure should be able to be fashioned.

    The problem would be with the disease itself; it seemed to constantly change itself and stop responding to what few treatments they’d already used to stifle it, so that meant that the cure wouldn’t be consistent. It was possible that with different quantities of each ingredient mixed in different fashions, the same ingredients could continue to be effective for some time. He now only found himself with one major problem; being without anyone to assist in finding and gathering the ingredients.

Alchemist Labors for Naught

It was 12 years ago, that the great intellect and alchemist, Vig Parthus the Accomplished addressed the public before barring the door to his lab. He bid that no one disturb his work, for when he finally emerged from his bailiwick, he would present to the people that which mankind had been searching for since the beginning of time. After a decade of respecting the mages request, a concerned citizen determined that something was amiss, since no one had been bringing food to the alchemist for all those years. When the body was finally recovered, it was already in an advanced state of decomposition. There is only speculation of what Vig had been working on that would be such a boon to mankind. Scholars pointed out that Vig must have been working on a potion that would turn base metals into gold. Politicians were hoping for an elixir that they could give to their wives to make them believe their lies whenever they cheated on them. Women-folk lamented that they would never see the wonder-soap that would soften their hands while doing dishes.
 

Nuisance Charge Ends With Unusual Twist

It was a day of ordeals for Pepe, a young shepherd that tended the flocks in the Magincian fields. When he began to give the hue and cry of “Wolf! Wolf!”, all those within earshot came running to investigate. When the townsfolk asked for the reason for the alarm, the young herdsman appeared puzzled, according to witnesses. The assembled individuals dispersed, when the cry rose up again, and they returned yet again to find no wolf within the vicinity. This incident was repeated until the guards were called and the shepherd was charged with constituting a public nuisance. The young herdsman was questioned about some empty bottles of alcohol found in his lunch area, and vociferously denied that he had ever seen them. His employer arrived on the scene and upon hearing the news, discharged the worker on the spot. That night, the entire flock had disappeared without a trace. Fortunately for the young shepherd, he had been incarcerated at the time, or else would have been considered a primary suspect in the crime. Pepe has been released on his own recognizance following a witness coming forward with information as to the actual perpetrators involved in the crime. Allegedly, a ninja by the name of Mmmm Falafels and his sheep rustling associates have been assuming the wolf animal form and stealthing around the Yew sheep pens, baiting animal herders with the same scheme.

Cupid’s Vacation?

After weeks of pondering upon the upcoming holiday, Cupid lamented on how mortals had forgotten the gods of the lands. Almost everyone knows Cupid’s name only on Valentine’s Day because of his legendary deeds: spreading the spirit of love in the lands. Cupid grew curious of what humans would do if granted the power of inspiring love upon each other. He looked down at the toy arrows in Voluptas’s quiver and had of an idea. His daughter’s arrows were made to only affect people who were already in love with each other. Cupid’s contrived to leave an arrow for each person in Sosaria the night before Valentine’s Day and observe how they would use them. He also included a statue molded in his likeness as a hint to the present’s sender. The very next day he sat back with interest as he observed his handiwork. Many used the arrows on a loved one, others shot anyone and everyone within sight, while some even discarded them thoughtlessly. “Either way,” Cupid thought to himself, “At least they all know that the god of desire, affection and erotic love still lives.”

 

The Origin of Saint Patrick’s Day

In a distant land, in a time long forgotten, lived a man by the name of Saint Patrick; or Saint for short. Saint liked to wear pointy hats and dress in green and was well known throughout the town. One evening while he was tossing back a few cold ones at the tavern, he heard a great wailing and lamenting from the other drunkards. “The silver serpents are ruining the spawn,” they said. “There are far too many of them and their deadly poison kills far too quickly. They don’t even carry any decent loot!” So, Saint resolved to deal with the problem and armed himself with his snake slayer shillelagh with +25 swing speed increase and travelled the land, ridding it of the troublesome vipers. It took many real-time hours, but Saint finally managed to accomplish this Herculean task. He discretely returned to the tavern, and eavesdropped on the local conversations. “That Saint guy is a total tool. He is ruining the natural dye trade,” they cried. “You can’t get Silver Serpent venom anymore, and the vendors in Dublin are charging a mil per vial.” Then was Saint shamed, for he had not considered the consequences of his actions. He rose from his barstool and addressed the other barflies. He said, “I shall make amends for my careless actions, though I acted with good intent. So, today and on the anniversary of this day, there shall be a great celebration, and I will pay for all of the booze. We shall start drinking from sunrise, and parade through the streets. We shall start a custom of throwing beads to drunken strumpets so that they flash their dirty pillows to oggling bystanders….” And it is told that they spent the entire evening in the tavern, collaborating on these ideas until the first one fell asleep. Then those remaining drew lewd phrases and pictures onto the sleeping individual’s face then departed the tavern at dawn…snickering. It is told that these were the humble beginnings of Saint Patrick’s Day.

TRAVELOGUE

The Prison of Wrong

Wrong is an underground prison that the Yew Court utilized years ago during the days when Justice was considered that the accused were guilty until proven otherwise. A relic of a forgotten era; it was and is still one of the most feared prisons in the land due to the many souls that had died there. Deep within the prison is a torture room, which most can only imagine what horrors had occurred there, or even the purpose to create such a room. Even the kitchen doesn’t seem to have been sanitary enough for human purposes, so it is questionable what was served to prisoners in the past. There are also no known records of their crimes or even of who were incarcerated there. They seem to have been lost or crumbled away with the passing of time. The ancient and long abandoned prison complex is located at the western shores of Lost Hope Bay. Humanoids and beasts have taken up residency in the old prison for their own reasons. Is something drawing the brigands and other cruel beings to inhabit the dungeon of Wrong, or is there something hidden there over the years since it was last run as a prison… besides all the lost hopes of its prisoners? We may never know.

Judge: You have stood before me five times already.

Thief: Your honor, when I like a fellow, I like to give him all my business.

Beggar: Can you help me out, sir. As you can see, I’ve lost my leg.

Nobleman: Sorry, I haven’t seen it. Have you tried putting an ad in the classifieds?

Innkeeper: No sir, only when it rains.

I need help with a problem. I have a house in the woods a short distance from a reaper. For the most part, I have always kept a safe distance. A few days ago, there was a storm and the reaper was uprooted and blown onto its back. By the way, they do make a sound when they fall over when no one is around. This one has been crying out “Why?!! Why?!!” for three straight days and I have not been able to get a wink of sleep since. I would be perfectly willing to pay a good 30 gold pieces to anyone who will put the thing out of its misery. I would do it myself, but I’m afraid it will try to fireball me. If you are interested in making some pocket money, I live in a small plaster 2 story by the waterfall in Yew. The reaper is screaming pretty loud, so it’s easy to locate.

 

If you crave falafel, drop by for the grand opening of ‘Thanks for Mutton’; the first falafel stand in the land. We are conveniently located next to the Britain moongate, open from 10 am to 10pm 7 days a week.

 

If you are vertically challenged and mentally stable, then a future employment opportunity is within your grasp. We are looking for an individual to don the outfit and play a leprechaun for our St Patrick’s Day Celebration. Your duties will be to keep the party going and do leprechaun related things like dancing jigs and singing songs about drinking. If the party starts to lose momentum, you might start a conga line or whatever your little heart desires. No one will pick you up and throw you, unless you enjoy that sort of thing; in which case people will pick you up and throw you. Please, be mentally stable. We are still paying for the error in judgement in getting a giant turkey drunk at the last Thanksgiving party. We are looking for a jovial to sometimes sassy leprechaun; not an angry, bottle-smashing, groin-punching, stabby leprechaun. Other than that, it is all you can drink. There is expected to be plenty of trampy wenches present, so even a leprechaun should have no problem ‘getting lucky’ that night. Interested parties should apply in person at the mayor’s office in Yew.

 


ARTS AND LIVING

Caveat Emptor

It appears that the Blacksmiths and Tailors have been holding out on us when it comes to handing out the better Bulk Orders Deeds. Those looking to get their hands on tapestries, exotic rugs and finer wares had better be willing to cross some palms with coin. These smooth operators will tell you that it is due to hard times, but it just seems to be a “sign of the times” where everyone is out to rob other people’s nests while feathering their own.


This Month’s Horoscope

The Peddler-January
You have a dream of building a ladder to the stars. That way, you can probably catch them naked in their dressing rooms.

The Mongbat-February
When the police ask you, tell them that you like to dig holes as a past time. They’ll believe that.

The Phoenix-March
Take advantage of that urge to control everything and everyone around you. People will be very stupid and predictable, so feel free to second guess them. You’ll be glad that you did.

The Sea Dragon-April
Your actions effect people’s lives as a stone creates ripples in a pond. However, directly pushing people into ponds is far more fun though. just pondering..

The Hermit-May
When things are not going well, a voice in your head will sometimes say “Why me?” Then another voice will say “Because you’re an idiot! Everyone hates you!” Then the first voice will begin crying, and this will go on for the rest of the day.

The Llama-June
Do you know what’s crazy? Trying to overextend yourself far beyond your emotion limits. That, and some guy in an loincloth running around with an cleaver.

The Ancient Wyrm-July
Don’t be afraid to share your hopes and your dreams with those close to you. Why not also share your inner demons with them as well? And why just limit sharing those feelings with those close to you when complete strangers would do just as well?

The Anvil-August
Finishing an important task is an unlikely prospect today. You are beset by numerous obstacles, and general delays that follow no pattern. Rather than judge yourself too harshly, realize that evil forces are conspiring against you.

The Weaver-September
You will be stuck in a confined space with a smelly and unattractive individual in the near future. Could this be the soulmate you’ve been searching for all your life?

The Wisp-October
When you have sunk to the most abysmal depths and things seem most hopeless, someone special will step into your life and remind you of how hopeless your situation is.

The Unicorn-November

The Awakening – Act II, Part 2

Written by the EM Team

Intermission Fiction

    Stumbling, he grasps onto the railing leading out of the cellar as the distant sounds of unrest echo throughout the empty building around him. Taking another drink from the somewhat depleted bottle of wine in his hand he makes his way through the corridors to the balcony, until the bottle slips from his grasp. In his attempt to grab it he falls, and knocks aside a piece of fabric with a jingle. His eyes are drawn to the weathered and tattered hat.  A memory long past is conjured before his eyes as he feels a profound sadness, noticing the missing bell upon a lone corner.  His hand reaches for it, fingers almost grazing the fabric before he stops, instead grasping once more for the bottle of wine. With a grumble he rights himself and staggers away from the hat, leaving it as forgotten as he had been, and heads back to the wine cellar once more.

    Wislem stretched his wings once in agitation before running his talons along his horns, counting out the profits the smithy had made that week. The current state of affairs with the Juka was definitely troublesome. It was hard to predict how it’d affect them, but the recent bevy of adventurers that had shown up was proving to be a great boon to their economy. For Wislem, despite record amounts of profit, he couldn’t help but feel the adventurers were only the first wave of a new tide. He had little doubts that the city could weather any storm, whatever disturbance was occurring…Ver Lor Reg had stood as a bastion, a sanctum of safety for ages now. It was about time that it had drawn more attention and proved to be more profitable.

    Despite everything seemingly going their way, he’d heard talk of a few who were considering Zhah’s offer. Come, she had implored them, and together we can forge a future stronger than we can apart. Zhah’s plea was not one that was ignored, but it was also seen for that which it truly was as well. It was a play on her part to increase the strength of Ter Mur, but it would cause Ver Lor Reg to be weakened, and the Councilors had told her they appreciated her offer, but aside from the current trading would take no immediate action. In recent days it had almost become a bit of a running joke between the gargoyles of Ver Lor Reg; Had they taken her up on it, they’d have missed out on this sudden surge in activity. There had been a few who hadn’t done so well during this sudden influx, like poor Kharas Zhem of the golem factory, who was having a tough time acquiring the necessary parts for his mechanical monsters. Wislem heard the chime of a clock behind him, and frowned as he realized he’d wasted nearly an hour in his head like this. The only true fear he could muster with any grain of reality was that of harboring the wounded Jukan and their Shirron…He’d tried to speak with one of the Councilors about transferring them to Mistas, but had been ignored. Couldn’t win them all, he thought with a bit of a wistful smile as he packed away the profits of the day. Heading through the marbled streets of the city the sun shone down gloriously, and the sound of one of the fountains was soothing to his ears.
