The Rogues

[kosinkayos]

We shall start our tale of the many many mysterious and wondrous feats of the great Persephone Rose. Her first feat of wonder is one that has been marveled over more than many other tales. The tale of her first visit to the king. Persephone was merely strolling along one day after waking in an alley. She knew nothing of her past. Only that she was carrying a katar and an iron fan. She began her search in a fashion that many are familiar with. She wandered into a crowded area of the streets and began pilfering peoples purses. She just happened to grab the purse of a member of The Guild That Doesn't Exist. He noticed her and a fight ensued. After beating the man to a pulp she was told to make her way to the ever so famous Red Dragon where she would meet "The Man Who Knows Things." Persephone made her way over to the famed tavern where she was greeted by the sights. People dancing and drinking, fighting and flirting. But there was one man who seemed to stand out. For there upon one of the tables stood an elf dancing to the beat of the Roaming Gnomes music while spinning daggers on his fingers. Bets were being placed all around on whether or not the elf would drop one or cut himself. In grand flamboyance he suddenly tossed the daggers up in the air and caught all of them inside their sheaths. She approached him then and they quickly became friends... very VERY close friends. After a few drinks, some major flirting and some minor petting, she was inducted into the guild and told that she needed to prove herself to the guild and do something that no one else would think of.

Persephone decided to take it upon herself to surpass all expectations in her quest. It was then that she started to wander in the first direction that seemed appealing to her. Eventually she ended up in front of the palace. Rather than move along she walked up to the gate with purpose. Of course, the guards stopped her.

"Who are you and what do you want?" they asked her.

"I am Persephone Rose. I am here to bed the king." (btw... she has a 18 in charisma)

"Oh! Well then, go on in. Sorry we troubled you."

"That is quite alright... Just do not do it again!"

Persephone walked in the gate and immediately turned towards the stables and strode to them. Upon entering the stables she was greeted by the stable hand.

"Can I help you?" he asked in a somewhat irritated voice.

"Why yes you can!" she replied with a smile. "I just slept with the king and he told me to take two of his horses on my way out."

"Ok. Any preferences?"

After he asked there came the sound of approaching footsteps. Persephone looked over her shoulder to see a noble couple approaching. She slipped to the side of the door and readied herself. As soon as they walked in the building she pulled out her iron fan and (rolled a natural 20) rendered the man unconscious in one swift movement. Very quickly she also (rolled a natural 20) gave the lady a quick rap along side her head also leaving her in a collapsed heap on the ground. At this point the stable hand started to panic so Persephone had to act very quickly. She pulled out her katar and (rolling yet another natural 20) stabbed him in the throat very effectively killing him and nearly decapitating him. She then stripped the two nobles of their clothing and signet rings, picked two of the finest looking horses and made her way out of the palace completely unscathed. ( oh and by the way... she was level one.)

The greatest tale of Persephone Rose (if I do say so myself), is the tale concerning the balor.

There she stood, in the bowels of a volcano, nude due to the heat. Although she was told that entering the cave of the balor meant almost certain death, she could not continue to live with the curse on her head and she needed the gem he guarded to lift it.

She was not searching long before she spied her foe. She thought for a few minutes, while hiding behind a boulder and cast down all but one throwing dagger which she cleverly found a place to conceal on her naked body.

She walked right up to the beast and said in a very sexy voice, "hey there hot stuff...Fancy a go?" Having rolled a natural 20, the balor changed form and they proceeded to enjoy the pleasures of the flesh.

Just as the Balor was entering the throes of passion, the undetected throwing knife came into play. Persephone Rose slit the throat of the beast. She gathered her belongings and found the gem and returned to the upper levels, blissfully unaware of the fact that she was now with child...

How does one tell the tale of how their world was ripped apart by a lone disco dancer? I suppose I should start at the beginning of our quest.

I was on a mission for the man who knows things. But this was not a run-of-the-mill "get this guys, steal this object, talk to this dude" kind of mission. My group was to travel through dragon wrought mountains and find a military encampment. Once there, our mission was to steal the swords and ring from the commanding general. Kid stuff right?

Well, we made it there after a long month's travel. Hard as tried though, we couldn't get an audience with the general, or even find him and we had to formulate a plan to draw his attention.

We knew that the general was famous for his skill in archery, so using our good looks and charming personalities, my female companion and I began training in archery, creating small competetions and generally drawing the attention of the crowd. It was going well, the people were gathering and betting and more opponants showed up to challenge us.

But we had left a wild card companion to his own devices. This would be the cause of our undoing.

Our companion had a drug problem you see. He toked up and ate shrooms any time he got bored. Apparently he got too bored watching our archery antics, and apparently he also ate one too many magic mushrooms.

His high started out innocently enough, he began to perfom the disco and others joined. This wasnt the first time he had done this. Once, our companion had gotten drunk in the mages guild, started to disco and ended up with a bunch of drunk mages following him down the street, also doing the disco. It worked out very well for us. But I digress.

In the middle of his disco dancing, he started a mosh pit. Things started looking questionable at this point, but there isnt much you can do about moshing disco dancers. If only he had stopped tripping there...

Our inebriated friend pulled out his swords at this time and started discoing with them in his hands. Ultimately this led to the deaths of nine people, the aputated limbs of countless numbers and the attention of the entire military post.

And now as DM i find i must pick up where good persephone rose left off and continue to tell of how her world was turned upside down. You see both persephone rose and her discoing friend both belong to The Guild That Doesn't Exist. Persephone Rose happens to be one of the most favored people in the guild. Working almost exclusively for the man who knows things himself... Psuedio Nukes. Also travelling with her was a man who never seems at achieve mention. A man many know but never speak of. Kosin Kayos. He will come in to play later on.

So after Cloak, the aforementioned discoing rogue high on shrooms, began his stabbing of all those around him, the rest of the soldiers in the area made quick work of his capture. Little did any of them know, our trio had a wild card flying high above. One thing Kosin Kayos is known for throughout the world is his skill in archery. PR called up to him on her rune of communication and had him begin raining arrows on the whole courtyard in an attempt to aid in their retreat. Mere moments later mages appeared from nowhere and began launching fireball after fireball up at him. It got so bad that PR had to do the unthinkable... she had to use her rune of communication to summon an instant portal to the guild headquarters. The one thing you are told to never do unless you have beyond absolute provocation.

It was not long before PR and her Mage companion were also arrested and taken in for questioning. Things started off as they always do with questioning. A little bit of threats, some good cop bad cop and the like. Eventually they all grew tired of the questioning and brought in some psions. These skilled gentleman made the questioning pointless and just pulled all the information right out of the brains of all three.

Once the psions had dug in and gotten the information they were looking for, they instanly knew the location of every guild location the rogues had visited, who worked there, how to get in and most importantly... they now knew what Pseudio Nukes looked like. Almost instantly there were simultaneous raids across the whole continent and over half of the guild got arrested or killed. Once PR was released she was contacted by the man and given a simple order... but one nearly impossible to achieve.

"Bring him to me now! ALIVE!!!"

And woe is us... For our mighty tale where the entire world was torn apart has prematurely ended. My players moved on to other realms. However... the story never ends... i shall just begin telling new tales about the adventures that unfold inside the realm i have created.

this was put together as an example of how the aforementioned gameplay went down. I basically put an hour worth of play into a one minute skit...http://youtu.be/l7yYvjR-7DE
