Rules | FAQ | Premise | Applications


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.

Eighth Wonder

[the_child]

A little one was out for a walk when he saw the odd sight of a figure hanging upside down. He tilted his head, making a small curious sound.

[followedbyfools]

Obi-Wan opened his eyes, then squinted at the sight before him. Even upside down, there was no mistaking the tiny green creature. He'd only ever met two like him, and both on the Council.

"Hello, little friend," he said softly. "I don't suppose you could pass me that." He pointed to his neglected saber. "Very, ah ... very carefully, mind you."

[the_child]

He blinked very slowly, processing the instructions. 'That' could mean any number of things, after all. Mando had most often used it in the context of 'spit that out' or 'leave that alone.' Of course he'd also heard others referring to him as a 'that.' It was all very confusing.

He looked around, blinking as he surveyed the ground nearby. There was a particularly appealing rock only a few steps away. Perhaps that's what the strange person meant. He toddled over and picked it up, holding it up for inspection.

Obi-Wan, thankfully, was surprisingly patient for a human hanging upside down. He'd had practice. Lots of practice.

"Mm, no, not the rock. I'm sorry, I meant the lightsaber. I should have been more specific. That is a lovely rock, though, you're right."

[the_child]

The what?

His ears lowered a little, confused. Though those little ears did pick up on something as they moved. A low growl emanated from the back of the cave. He turned to look into the dark where it came from. Something was back there. And from the sound of it, it was big.

The rock slipped from his little fingers, clattering to the ground. He blinked, processing the scene. The stranger was tied up. So he didn't know if he was good or bad. But growls usually meant bad things...
