i.Main Street

Main Street has settled in for January, but there are still Christmas Decorations here and there to liven things up a little bit. Feel free to shop, mingle with the locals or explore the castle grounds.

Though after hours there are still some shadows that venture into the streets. Not everything here is as peaceful as it seems, and it’s best to defeat the corroded trespassers before they cause trouble.

ii. Cookie Overload

Do you like free cookies? Of course! Everyone does. After the Christmas Rush, there are plenty to go around, available only after the sun goes down to any hungry passerby. There are cookies of all styles and flavors. But watch out for the dreader sriracha cookie. It will make you breathe fire in three flavors and gives a bit of heartburn after, but the aftertaste will leave you craving more.


iii. The Eighth Wonder of the World
Now that the jungle has been purified, Apprentices can wander through to explore all the things the jungle has to offer. Take a (still somewhat shambly) riverboat and explore the river, or come to chat and trade with the villagers. (Shrunken heads, two for one special!) But beware. Even though the jungle is purified, it’s not a safe place. In this kingdom of animals, someone is always hungry.


iv. Pin It On Them
Some smugglers are hanging around the outskirts of New Orleans, selling dubious looking items from even more dubious looking bags. Do you buy from them? Haggle? Steal? (not recommended) Or quietly try to alert any sort of authority (good luck) The choice is yours.


v. Battle Mesa Gate
While the jungle may be purified, many other Kingdoms are still seething with corrosion. Erstwhile Apprentices will find such corrosion on the banks of the Rivers of America, right where the jungle river joins in. Fight corroded creatures on the shore and in the water and be careful, they are stronger than they look and cleverer than they seem.

"Alright, just hang on a second," Scorpia said, apparently without realizing the pun she'd just made. With one claw she carefully took hold of the back of Obi-Wan's shirt so that he wouldn't just fall on his head when his legs were freed, and with the other she reached up and began snipping away the vines that had trapped him.

"So you're a sorcerer back in your world too?", she said as she worked. "I guess being able to use magic must feel pretty normal to you, huh?"

"Well, we don't use the same terms, but yes, in a manner of speaking you're quite right. Though where I'm from, what you call 'sorcerers' are Jedi, and what they call Sparks here are known as the Force." He brushed any loose clippings off his robes as he righted himself and collected his saber. "Is it unfamiliar to you, then?"

"Well I know about it, if that's what you mean," Scorpia said. "But I've never had any connection to my family's runestone, so I don't really have any magic like the other Princesses back home do."

"I've got some here though," she said. "I just need to figure out how to use it without breaking something. Or... a lot of somethings." Her lessons so far had been a good demonstration of her raw power. Her control... not so much.
