Lucky Rabbit's Foot
Rynn: We headed off to search for one of the seven gems from the scarf. Together, they should be able to point to way to the meandering fortress where our toadish employer is incarcerated. Our intention was to find the Briar King, and so we just, um, headed off in a random direction. And found him. Handy. This interesting rabbit-like dude with a broken sword was friendly enough at first, and seemed a little preoccupied with fending off the encroaching forest. Nature was, I guess, just sort of drawn to him. When I asked about the gem, he saw fit to challenge me to a duel. Ugh. I couldn't think or talk my way out of it, so I begrudgingly accepted the challenge. Man, I thought I was fast and sneaky, but I ain't got NOTHING on that hare. After trying my damnedest to utilize the hit-and-run tactic that I frequently depend on to wear down my foe, that rascally anthropomorphic lagomorph beat me down like the downs-clowns that are forced to shovel elephant shit at the circus. I surrendered. But I guess all he wanted was a fight, a chance to prove his martial superiority. For he then coughed up the gem, and told us some useful tidbits of information. And then hopped off. Ow, my ego hurts.
Cameron starts an acting career
Rynn: Worst. Actor. EVER. Never had I seen such a bad performance. It drove his director to homicide. The puppet. The puppeteer. The actress with her strange beasties. The wall of ice. The deep pit. The severe wounding. And the fireballs of hot death. Oh dear god, those fireballs. ALL of this intense violence came at us as a direct result of Cameron's beyond-inept portrayal of Romeo. And I can't say that I disagree with the hatred. Just plain AWFUL. At any rate, the marionette (who was really the brains of the operation) ultimately decided he would rather die in a fire than live in a world where that bad of an actor existed. He detonated a fireball, putting an end to his misery in a fiery cataclysm. We sifted through the ashes and found another gem - a white lily. A harrowing success! This seemed to delight the freshly-fired musical grasshopper, as he promptly named himself the new director there at the Sanguine Playhouse. 2 Gems down, 5 to go. I believe we have decided to set off towards the Weaver's domain, in hopes we can head off any attempts to re-mold the evil doll dude.
