Golly, I
don't know how I got turned into a mouse! Maybe the hero Miss Leoni was
mad at me for saying it wasn't nice to put Mrs. Ifalna's soul into our
golem. Maybe the immortal Mr. Morlend did it because I'm what did he
say again? Ah yes - a "strange rogue." Or maybe some other higher power
did it for reasons my poor little head will never understand. Oh well.
I knew I couldn't hunt alone anymore - those mean old beasties end up
gnawing on my bones when I'm not a mouse! Luckily, my Guild Lieutenant
was right there and saw my predicament. Miss Midnightrogue and I hunted
in the sewers for a time. Those sewer assassins sure were embarrassed
to get killed by a little bitty mouse! ::giggle::
It didn't take long to discover that I couldn't pick anything up, and I
couldn't unpack anything - not even to fiddle with my tool kit! Lucky
for me, the goddess Senrania arrived in the land and offered her
healing services. I asked for her help and she said she'd need a
snowdrop and the blood of a Yeti to fix me up. Golly I was scared! A
Yeti would snap me up for a light snack! But good ole Miss
Midnightrogue never lost faith. She and I ran right up to Dark Blizzard Pass to find a Yeti. Miss Senrania didn't want us to
hurt it, though. She just wanted us to find one and hold onto it long
enough for her to come get the blood with magic. We knew we'd need some
more help, so I asked the mighty sorceress Mrs. Bratlyn to come to our
aid.
When we found a Yeti Mrs. Bratlyn ensnared it for ever so long while I
called for Miss Senrania to come extract its blood. My, the Yeti didn't
like that at all! It howled up a storm, calling all its frosty friends
to come help it. They came swarming in, snapping and throwing ice balls
at us. Golly, Miss Midnightrogue and Mrs. Bratlyn were amazing! They
fought off the beasties left and right, ensnaring and poisoning and
assassinating and throwing fireballs. But it was too much! I tried guarding Mrs. Bratlyn but those
mean old beasties kilt her anyway. I cried and cried and cried.
Miss Senrania finally showed up, and Mrs. Bratlyn returned from the
planes of rebirth. While Miss Midnightrogue led the beasties away, far
into the recesses of the pass, Mrs. Bratlyn and I found another Yeti.
It called for help too, but this time Miss Senrania arrived and sent
all the nasties far away. She got the blood she needed and sent the
Yeti away too. Now it was time for the snowdrop. I thought that meant a
bit of snow, and gosh but that Mrs. Bratlyn surprised me, dropping a bit of snow right there on the spot!
Unfortunately it turned out that a snowdrop is a flower, found only on
the highest peaks surrounding the pass. I think Mr. Protean needs to
set up some better educational opportunities for us rogues. Mrs.
Bratlyn had to go then, but Miss Midnightrogue returned from leading
away the beasties, and promised to help me search for the flower. Miss
Senrania was so touched by how willing the ladies were to help me that she used her godly powers to summon a
flower! Unfortunately she couldn't summon any cheese. My but I was
having a craving.
Anyway, the immortal cast a long, powerful spell, and zappo! I wasn't a
mouse anymore! So here I am, able to hold a feather and parchment and
tell you all about how Miss Midnightrogue and Mrs. Bratlyn sacrificed
their time and blood to help a poor, mousy thief. Thank you, ladies!
And thank you Miss Senrania!
Bye everybody!
