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.

The Reluctant Dragon

[pineapple_upsidedowncake]

Mainstreet

Plopped down in the middle of main street, and utterly refusing to move was a rather.... rotund dragon. Yes a dragon. The dragon was muttering to itself while breathing out small plumes of smoke.

"How could they possibly insist that I must fight?
It isn't done, it just isn't right!
I much disdain fighting to speech
And shouldn't the choice belong to each?
I simply will not, cannot, would not do it.
And I say, I say, that is quite all there is to it!" the dragon said with a small huff of irritated flame at the empty sky.


Cookies
Oh! Now wasn't this a delight?! The dragon set up a lovely little picnic near the delightful person handing out the free snacks and offered tea. It was quite the lovely spot, and one always did adore shared sweets, of course! And so the dragon sat, dipping the rather spiciest of the cookies into tea, and occasionally pausing to blow into a flute that otherwise lay nearby to welcome small birds, which were all fed crumbs of the cookies that were far too small for meaty dragon hands to handle. Not that the dragon was having the least trouble with a delicate tea cup, mind.

Huh. There's a silly looking dragon having an afternoon snack. It looks like something that fits right in with this world...at least it doesn't seem to be hungry for humans. He likes to get his coffee here, so he passes by with a swish of his coat.

"The birds get lazy if you do that," he grumbles.

"Oh not at all, not at all, you are thinking of a cat. These birds work quite hard you see, they rehearse their songs all morning with me."
