It was a sunny day with a brisk wind. The adventurers gathered to discuss their options as they had been offered several possible missions for the day. Present at the gathering were Ace the Dragon-Phoenix-Human Hybrid, AG1O5 the Experimental Sentient Android, Zane the Field Medic, Link the Hero of Time, Clyde the Assassin I-Mean-Messenger, Jarg the Innkeeper, Scoutbird the Demigod, Bacon the Delicious, Mr. C and a Small but Very Brave Knight.
Ace’s dragon stomach growled. So did Ace. The rest of the merry band fled in fear, especially Bacon. Ace devoured dragon handfuls of innocent anchovies, procured from Jarg. Ace felt much better … and much calmer. But during the time he was eating, five of the adventurers had been assassinated. Clyde had nothing to do with it! Bacon knew who the assassin was, but he kept his own council. All five of the unfortunate were magically and stealthily revived by Zane, who had a pistol.
AG1O5 is capable of things a human cannot do. AG1O5 refers to anyone who is not a robot as “Squishy.” One “Squishy,” aka Link, was acting erratically. Something appeared to be wrong with his programming, so AG1O5 opened fire. It was the logical response. Link responded with time warping speed, so fast he was almost hit by the gun not the bullet. AG1O5 backed up. He reran the diagnostics. Link’s programming appeared to be reset.
Ace was captured. He remembers nothing of that time.
Then the zombie apocalypse happened. It lasted 3 minutes. Bacon declared, “Instead of zombies eating me, I eat them.” That sums it up.
Scoutbird, in the form of an abnormally large bluejay, will carry messages and do reconnaissance work in exchange for shiny things and crackers. To summon him, say, “Scoutbird, I need you, so get over here.” Scoutbird found a stash of rupees. He was happy.
Without warning, out of the local tavern, a turtle tank burst forth and attacked everyone. The turtle tank was a fearsome two-headed monster that breathed fire and nerf bullets. It had four arms and swung its sword with deadly accuracy. In spite of its power and size, it was outnumbered by brave warriors and was thus quickly defeated. It limped away to tend its wounds and plot revenge.
The adventures decided to get their skill up in case the monster returned and engaged in a friendly game of capture the flag to hone their combat and stealth skills.
