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.

"Black garnet?"

There went his theory though. She looked like a magical being but maybe she was just an alien or an interdimensional being. There were a few of those around.

"It's my family's runestone," Scorpia explained. "There's only a few of them on all of Etheria, each one belonging to one of the royal families, and the Princesses of those families can each draw super powerful magic from their runestone."

"My grandpa gave up our runestone when he originally made the alliance with the Horde, though," she said. "Or at least, that's what the Horde told me. But like I said, I've never had any connection to the runestone anyway, so it's... fine really." She shrugged slightly, though she sounded rather like she was trying to convince herself as well as Crowley.

Stone of magical powers, no stone of magical powers... It was all the same to him really. Here she was just like everyone else. Stripped of her old powers and given new ones.

What was curious in that was that she seemed somewhat bothered by not having that stone. Sort put him in mind of being kicked out of his own club, a long fall into a world of never-ending evil for no reason he understood.

The feeling was dangerously close to pity and he tried not to let that show through his feigned demonic ambivalence.

"Hope you can get used to having magic then. Here everyone does."
