Wintery Escapade - Sidgraf
--------------------------
AKA The Quest for Sidgraf's Garb, and The Recount of the Circumstances
That Led to this Joyous Joining.
It was just another Seringale morning, Leroy was preying on careless
beggar, that dumb dog was trying to bite yet another fellow in a set
of full steel leggings.
I was idly sitting at benches on The North square. Robes clean, hair
ruffled just the right way, a lute in hand. Waiting for Vanisse, or
at least a willing wench to woo. Just as a few leering women were
starting to close on me, Uguchak, Taere, Veeraza and Avalaro
barged in on my scene. Stryth was I pissed!
It turned out that they were there with a purpose. Preparing a trip
to the legendary plains of Winter they insisted on services of
another adept bard to duet with Avalaro
since there was no one else
and time was short, I would have to do, I was kindly explained.
Them being armed to their teeth and then some, combined with fact that
they scared away all of my day's prospects, I agreed to accompany.
Without much ceremony we plunged through the nexus only to come to
blows with a beholder. Harrr, did we kick his bunch eyed arse! Braving
many a beast, we carved our path through wind- and snow-swept plains,
finally reaching the entrance to the foreboding Evermore, kingdom of
rogues. If I thought our progress up to that point slow, soon I was made
wiser. At every step bands of thieves fell on us like bees and we
swatted at them with our clubs and swords. After many rests we finally
approached our first target, the infamous Yorick! Yes, the king thief
himself met us in battle. Breaking our initial onslaught he was quickly
disposed of and his wares merrily divided. As usual the bickering over
wares took almost as much time and energy as obtaining them.
But did we stop there? No! Rainen, the master of assassins and grand
master monk were but a short stroll away. Ripe for the picking! It
was then that I saw her for the first time... All else fell away from
my sight, the recent terrors forgotten. Me shiny beautiful sable
garb. You see... I have an eye for that which makes one stand in a
high regard of any wench or woman. This garb was screaming panache!
Tears almost streamed down my eyes and my nose bled at the idea of
gracing Seringale in such flashy attire. Soon after my eyes DID
stream with tears and nose bled as Rainen opened a barrel of
whooparse on me almost sending me to Stryth's fields up in the
heavens. I hid behind Taere and was last to laugh as the assassin
gurgled blood. Quickly I relieved him of the garb so he would not
foul it with blood. I draped this silky glinting warm perfection
around me and let out a purr of utter content. Every bloody step of
the way, every single blow taken was returned with interest in that
moment. I must bring this scroll to end for sweet sweet lasses wait.
Now if I could only find a flashy cane...
