| - | * Bullet points | + | * The party are sent by Aces High to compete in the annual Tournament of Fableland while surreptitiously keeping an eye on proceedings to make sure no one destabilises the current status quo or, in the words of Last Resort, "blow it up". |
| + | * On the way, they encounter an angry flock of goosehawks and their baby goslingeyas. They defeat the goosehawks, steal their eggs and Honest Jack sets fire to their nest to cook one of them. It doesn' | ||
| + | * Eventually, barren land gives way to a patchwork of small fields and farmland which appear to be farmed without any automation. The town of Fableland stands behind a wooden palisade, reinforced with metal sheeting. They are greeted by a farmer who speaks with a smattering of archaic words. A few decay seekers shamble up, attracted by the technology that outsiders have brought into the kingdom, but they are easily dispatched by a guard named Straight Shooting who also mentions King's treasure vault. | ||
| + | * Within the gates of Fableland, the party first meets King Valiant who signs them up. Last Resort comes up with the team name Trebuchet, after a particularly attractive piece of siege equipment she'd like to see mounted on Wretched Export' | ||
| + | * In the tavern, which bears only the name Tavern, Team Trebuchet meet some of their competitors, | ||
| + | * In the first match, Team Trebuchet defeat the Farmer team, despite their ingenious attempt at using a scarecrow to exploit the "last team member standing" | ||
| + | * Coming into the semi-finals, | ||
| + | * In a climactic final bout, Team Trebuchet is very nearly defeated by Feral Instinct' | ||
| + | * While Honest Jack and Wretched Export plan their talents for the Contest of Skill, Last Resort races after Starlit Dream. | ||
| + | * After witnessing a spectacular display of skill by Feral Instinct and Alpha, Wretched Export attempts to impress King Valiant and the audience by constructing a fully-functioning trebuchet. The trebuchet works exactly once... flinging Last Resort up through the tavern roof and then flying into pieces. This disastrous display is quickly forgotten when Honest Jack burns the tavern down. | ||
| + | * While all the guards inside the town are busy dealing with the fire, the party realise that Straight Shooting, who is mysteriously unknown to both King and his sheriff, has vanished. Realising he is an imposter, King Valiant directs the party to his secret vault behind the throne. There they catch Straight Shooting in the process of robbing the vault. They take the brigands to the gaol and put them in the stocks. In thanks, King Valiant offers them each a knighthood, though Last Resort gives hers to Alpha the raktor. | ||
| + | * Team Trebuchet return for the grand melee. One by one, the competitors fall until it is only Wretched Export and Honest Jack left. Honest Jack appears sure to triumph with his flaming sword but through sheer determination, | ||
| + | * However, the tournament has attracted many, many decay creatures outside of the walls and so begins a surprise fourth event - defending the kingdom. Team Trebuchet fight through waves of decaying monsters, finally defeating a giant mechanical mining scorpion. | ||
| ===== Aftermath ===== | ===== Aftermath ===== | ||
| - | * Bullet | + | * After the end of the tournament, Wretched Export collects his winnings from the grand melee. Honest Jack shares around some of the loot he stole from the thieves who stole it from King Valiant. |
| + | * The party report back to Aces High. Last Resort informs her about the presence of Straight Shooting' | ||
| + | * Export sets out to find this ship. He's able to narrow down the search area by consulting with topographical maps to identify potential landing sites for a ship within reasonable distance | ||
| + | * Last Resort gets in touch with Grey Beard (aka Starlit Dream) and helps her design and build a new wizard staff, complete components which light up and emit effects such as sparks and smoke. | ||
| + | * Honest Jack becomes Aces High's official liaison with Fableland. The job isn't too strenuous since Aces High's policy toward Fableland is fairly laissez-faire. It does, however, come with VIP access to all casinos on Ace's World. | ||
