The queue for journey rations stretched past the ballistas, down across the drawbridge, and almost clear out of the city gates. Brenley's immediate thought was that every knight apprentice had learned of the treasures that awaited those who climbed the mountain, but after listening in to the gossip of his peers, he learned that many of them were simply still searching for the king.QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 13/13 YOUR HP: 30/30

It seemed unfathomable to the young man. How could anyone continue to believe that the Great King still lived? The land teemed with shadowlings, and anyone who ventured out on their own for any length of time was likely long gone. His opinionated observation wasn't far from his mind as he reached the front of the food line and received his meager supplies. Maybe this time he would be the one who wouldn't return.QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 13/13 YOUR HP: 30/30

The mountains were quiet in a thoroughly ominous way, and Brenley tried to combat his resulting skittishness by thinking, once again, about what he might stand to gain from this exercise. His reverie was interrupted by a snarling boar that might have been good to eat if it hadn't been foaming at the mouth. Luckily, he had been given an excellent horse this trip, and it spirited him to safety with hardly any instruction.Quote: Rolling a 2: You encounter a wild *animal here* that is extremely rabid and ferocious.

It was very good at running. The horse ran so hard and so fast that Brenley himself ended up on the forest floor soon after, rubbing at his bruises and feeling rather sorry for himself. His new patchy armor was excellent at repelling shadowlings, but it dug into his skin rather violently when he fell on top of it.Quote: Rolling a 3: Your horse gives up on you, running away.

Already injured from the boar attack and his fall from the horse, the boy didn't stand a chance when faced with a booby trap. He had no warning beyond a strange clicking at his feet, and then he was being pelted with arrows, stones, and clods of dirt. He quickly blacked out, waking up again in the great hall with no recollection of how he had returned.Quote: Rolling a 1: You accidentally step on a loaded booby trap!

His mysterious return remained on his mind as Brenley set off again, determined to bring back another piece of magical armor. That's the only thing it could be, he surmised. The way it fit perfectly and appeared in the same spot every time? There was definitely something supernatural going on up that mountain.QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 27/27 YOUR HP: 30/30

But back to how he had gotten home. Brenley was quite sure that unless his horse had returned to drag him back to Camelot, there was no way he could have made it to safety. So how had he—
The bees descended without warning, forcing his thoughts to turn to survival rather than conjecture. There might have been screeching. If there was truly no one around, no one would know.Quote: Rolling a 3: You accidentally ride into a bees nest. BEEEEES. Your horse runs away, making it extremely hard on you.

The trees were almost calming after all of the running he'd had to do once his horse had fled. They were calming, right up until the moment the spider arrived. It touched down on the crown of his head as he was eating, and he almost shrieked again. Almost. Instead, he dropped his rations and ran.Quote: Rolling a 1: A giant spider scares you so much you drop whatever it is you're eating! -5 Food QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 12/27 YOUR HP: 30/30

Thankfully, he still had plenty of food, or at least enough for himself, since his horse had gone. He made it into the cavernous labyrinth exhausted but mostly fine, and he happened to be chewing on another stale bit of food when he heard a familiar click as his foot sank slightly into the ground. This time, instead of arrows, there were snakes.Quote: Rolling a 3: You accidentally step on a booby trap as snakes start chasing you!

They must have been the fastest snakes in Camelot considering the chase they gave him. He was about to give up, to succumb like he had to the arrows, when a wrinkled hand shot out from a darkened alcove and grabbed his collar, tugging him to safety.
"There you go, kid," the familiar wizard said. "I saw a princess shirt up there earlier. I thought it might be for you." He waved a hand and started walking. "C'mon, let's go get it."Quote: Rolling a 6: An old man claiming to be a wizard hands you some food. Thanks, you guess? +10 food. QUEST STATUS Food remaining: 12/27 YOUR HP: 20/30
