Shakandara Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) The adventures of Garrick the Bold and the Quest for Bones Chapter 1 Sir Garrick turned over restlessly in his bedroll, his eyes scanning the pre-dawn sky. It was time to get his companions out of bed and on the trail. As Garrick pulled on his armor, beads of perspiration rolled down his back in the humid early morning air. He let out a rueful sigh, knowing that conditions would not be any better at his destination. Garrick's companions, the chronicler Shakandara and the succubus Sophie, joined him for a hearty breakfast before hitching up the wagon to his faithful steed Aveo, and striking out on to the trail. What lies on the road ahead for Garrick the Bold and his companions as they journey to the Crucible of Bones in the Village of Denton? Tune in later today to find out!

Shakandara Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Chapter 2 Like any good fellowship, Garrick knew more companions would be required for his epic journey, as well as transportation befitting them. Leaving his wagon and trusty steed Aveo in the care of the innkeeper of the Flying J, he arranged passage with the crack pilot Blue Weasel and his young co-pilot, the child prodigy Wilhem "Max Density" McFly. Already aboard the starship, the notorious gunslinger Jake "Deadeye" Mehster. The lone ranger, Desslok, rode off ahead on his black steed, Beemer, and would rendezvous with the fellowship in the Village of Denton. With their starship fueled and ready to go, Blue Weasel threw the vehicle into hyperdrive, and Garrick's intrepid band shot out of the inn. Next stop: provisions in the hamlet of Centerville! ~v Edited August 25, 2012 by Shakandara fixed tags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakandara Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Chapter 3 With several hours of travel still ahead of them, the fellowship had to stop for provisions. Arriving in the hamlet of Centerville, Blue Weasel docked the star cruiser at Woody's Spaceport (and Smokehouse). There, Garrick learned that things really are bigger in Texas. But this journey isn't about seeing the sights! Garrick and his companions hustled about the station, finding plenty of tasty trail rations to sustain them for the remaining distance to the village of Denton. Wait wonders await our heroes at their destination? Will Garrick survive the Crucible of Bones? Will there be Caeke? All these answers and more to come! ~v Edited August 25, 2012 by ladystorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shakandara Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 (edited) Chapter 4: The Reaperning With hours of hard travel behind them, Garrick the Bold and his brave band arrived at Reaper Headquarters, the temple of the Crucible of Bones. However, upon entering the bowels of the structure, Garrick was immediately beset by a host of Bones ghosts! In an instant, they surrounded Garrick and his companions, draining not only their very life force, but their very color from their bodies. But the fellowship fought back, driving the ghosts away to a nearby table, where they were snatched up and painted by enthusiastic Boneheads! Fatigued, Garrick knew that they would need to refresh themselves before continung deeper into the temple in search of the Crucible. However, even this fine spread did not help Garrick regain his color. Whatever would he do? Suddenly, a delicious scent wafted across the fridgid factory-floor, err, temple air. There, spread out across two tables like a freshly-opened Vampire level pledge package, was.... Caeke! Glorious vanilla and chocolate caeke. And lo, there upon the caeke, was Mr. Bones. Garrick and his companions took the caeke offer to them by Mr. Bones, and they regained their color and were happy. Will Garrick ever find the Crucible of Bones? And just how high will this Kickstarter go? And who would have thought we'd get *two* undead dragons? Stay tuned!!! ~v Edited August 25, 2012 by ladystorm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shakandara Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Chapter 5: The End...? With only hours left in the Kickstarter campaign, Garrick the Bold and his companions found themselves in a race against he clock to locate the Crucible of Bones (why? I don't know; just go with it, it's the plot!). They searched the warehouse, err.. temple high and low for some sign of their objective. Many obstacles were thrown up in their path, including numerous friends, I mean, gibbering mouthers and a devious Bones paint and take, umm... color spray trap (yeah, that's it). Finally, Garrick made a fortuitous discovery; the famed Discs of Creation. This could only mean one thing; that the Crucible of Bones was near! The intrepid group located a secret door nearby, and they slowly moved inside (mostly so Sophie's wings wouldn't get caught on the entrance to the casting department). As Garrick turned the corner, he was met with an awful, terrifying sight - a crucible of molten metal. This was not the Crucible of Bones after all! As cheers rose from the nearby factory floor, I mean temple, Garrick read the fine print of the Kickstarter prophecy, and realized his folly. The Crucible of Bones would not come to the village of Denton for many more months. Garrick would have to return then to complete his mission. Thus ends the tale of Garrick the Bold and the Crucible of Bones! I hope you enjoyed reading about our day trip to Reaper. Thanks to all the Reaper staff for hosting us, and for giving us such a successful and fun Bones Kickstarter program. It has been a heck of a ride, and we still have the payoff yet to come!!! ~v 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai007 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Wait, there's real-life Sophies? How much did we need to pledge to get a real life Sophie? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
