ABOUT MYTHICAL JOURNEYS | |
The moon watched silently from above as the cool Autumn wind enticed the leaves to dance. It was harvest time again, and the Festival of Fools was bustling in the town of Freehold. People are dancing! Singers and musicians are entertaining! This was a time for fun! A time for excitement! So why were you assigned to patrol the Twilight Wood tonight? It was just your luck to be one of the "lucky six" as Sheriff Brock called you. The Sheriff was a stearn man and the word no was not in his vocabulary, regardless of how limited it was. It was then that your thoughts drifted to the warmth and friendly atmosphere of the local tavern. It wasnt too long ago that you and your friends were drinking ale and breaking bread amidst the bustle of the busy establishment. It was hard to believe just how full the Inn had become so early in the evening.There were people everywhere in the town. Some were merchants here to sell their wares. Some were patrons merely here to enjoy the festivities. And others... Well, lets just say not everyone who comes to the Festival of Fools comes with the best of intentions. There would always be the rogues who would prey upon the unwary. Spies looking to further the interests of their government. Who knows what other "dark folk" may be skulking amongst the innocent. It was the distant cracking of a branch that brought you suddenly back to reality. There was movement in the woods off to the right. Your sword at the ready you begin to wonder. Could the noise be a hungry troll? A pack of blood-thirsty gnolls? The thought of the troll shredding you was pleasant in comparison to what would happen if the sadistic gnolls captured you. Hours of excruciating torture until they become bored... then they finish you off as painfully as possible... WHAT IF? WELCOME TO OUR WORLD! Your options are nearly as limitless as your imagination as you participate in our weekend-long (three days) "campaign-style" adventures. Campaign-style adventures are open ended storylines.
