Mission Statement
Mission Statement:
You are being sent into a quaint place; a small city, bordering a large forest. Your client is Mathilda, a middle-aged woman working at a tea shop and living above it. Her younger brother, Jericho, has recently come down with quite a rare disease that is similar to a fever in its symptoms, but won't simply go away on its own and can eventually be fatal.
He requires medicine; specifically a thick drink made with some herbs that grow deep within the forest. Those herbs need to be retrieved just as the sun is at its highest point, or else they will not be effective enough. Unfortunately, with the wild animals roaming the forest, it is not safe to go that deep for regular people.
Which is why you were hired. Your goal is to find the herbs, safely retrieve them and get back so Mathilda can make the medicine.
Mission Summary
In which Our Agents are charged with gathering herbs for a cure for Mathilda’s brother Jericho of a rare but deadly disease. Though before even learning of the mission there was some conflict among Our Agents as Iosef asked Security Guard to not rely only on gunplay to resolve conflict and which triggered some hostility, but when Lord Frobisher arrived the hostility escalated when Security Guard tried to find Frobisher's zipper believing his skin to be a costume. Fortunately, the conflict was interrupted as the agents were led to the teleportation beds.
On arrival at the mission site Iosef was able to calm Security Guard with a rebreather mask and sunglasses as he had never experienced so much oxygen or sunlight (in fact he had believed the sun to be a myth).
Our Agents moved through the town: heartening Mathilda’s Brother, gaining reference notes about the Herbs needed for the cure (and being asked to gather extra), gathering a stick/cutting from a tree, learning about the wild animals roaming the deep forest and finally discovering the importance of respecting the spirits of the forest. Ultimately Our Agents moved into the forest and encounter a wild boar. They shrunk silently to the forest floor. Security Guard slew the boar with a single shot and Iosef thanked the forest closing the eyes of the boar.
Deep in the forest the agents found a glade with the herbs needed. Frobisher set the time to High Noon so he and Iosef could gather the herbs at the precise hour as required while watched over by our Security Guard. Again, Ioseph expressed appreciation and respect to the forest’s spirits. While returning to the village they encountered a fey spirit Iosef approached again to pay due respect, but Our Agents were rewarded for the respect paid and a magical seed was given to them.
Arriving back in the village the herbal smoothie was created by the apothecary and then Iosef administered the thick liquid to Jericho to Mathilda’s thanks and relief. After the badges pinged Our Agents gathered in the local tavern and celebrated as well as being honored by the citizenry. Before leaving Iosef gives the seed and a pamphlet on propagating seeds to Security Guard hoping it will bring some life into the dystopian submarine from which he came.
