Recently inspire by a Dungeon's and Dragon's game I played and figured man wouldn't it be funny if team JNPR played some sort of variation of it. Then this happened. I hope you enjoy the story. Reviews and criticism always welcome. Suggestions on what quests or monsters even more so.

Actual Story

Far in a distant land the kingdom of Folkloren is in peril as an evil sorceress has kidnapped the beloved princess Celia. The princess, unmatched in beauty, also has the powers to call forth rain and blessed the lands with bountiful crops. The sorceress wishes to harness that very power. The king has sent many knights and nobles to send back his beloved daughter but alas neither his subjects or his daughter ever came back. Desperate and coveting his daughter's safety he has asked for the bravest warriors and adventurers to go defeat the sorceress and rescue back his daughter. Lucky for the king three adventurers beckon to the call...

Ren gave relieved himself with a small breath of air as he finished his monologue. He studied his three teammates next to him on a table filled with maps, scraps of paper, and a few hand books. Today they were commemorating a special day. Ren would be hosting his first Behemoths and Bastions or as the familiar users would call it: BnB. Behemoths and Bastions is the pinnacle of fantasy table-top role playing game. It embarks players on an adventure, using their skill, guile, and most importantly their imagination to fend off the challenges the quest has in store for them. The Bastion Master, BM for short , is the games story-teller and game's referee. The BM dictates what is going around the world, act as its inhabitants, and overall set the stage for the adventurers. Today Ren can finally be the BM as his fore fathers have prophesied. Not really but, ever since leaving his BnB group from his home town, Ren had a giant itch to continue his beloved hobby and now he had 3 willing players.

Jaune was looking at his character sheet with slight confusion. He has heard the game before and have seen a few games played before at the library study rooms being played by other people. However watching people play and actually playing is two completely different things. Jaune was studying his character sheet again. His class was a cleric, a healer and a fierce fighter in capable hands. Jaune imagined that every game needed a healer, especially a first campaign, so he took the mantle of the merciful medic. His equipment was a standard mail armor, a war mace, and a shield bearing no crest. Jaune was worried he wouldn't be much help due to his inexperience and would hamper the session. He turned to Pyrrha to see if she was fairing any better then him.

In Pyrrha's mind she had already read of all the player's handbook and familiarized herself on how the game flows. She decided that playing as a rogue would yield the best results for maximum entertainment and contribution for the team. Pyrrha was a bit skeptical on playing a rogue at first but, she figured she should deviate from what she would usually do and possibly approach problems through other means. She would have to thank Ren for the mental exercise later. Her character wielded two short swords, a dagger, and a bow along with a quiver of arrows. Pyrrha looked at her sheet with satisfaction and was ready for the campaign looking at Ren with eager eyes.

Then there was Nora, who Ren knew all too well with her antics, was just waiting for the other two to get ready. Nora was no newcomer playing Behemoths and Bastion as she played with Ren before who was constantly glued next to him and suffice to say made the game a lot more entertaining for the players, and frustrating for the BM. She didn't glance through her paper a second time as she has done this countless times with Ren and his group before going to Beacon. Nora was the veteran player amongst the three and while most veterans would help teach the game play for new players, Nora wouldn't. Not on purpose of course but, she is too engrossed in making Ren's campaign a living hell as she has for every other campaign. Ren was staring at her as she rested her chin on the palm of her hand while wearing a wide suspicious grin.

"Ahem alright...Let us begin." Ren declared, everyone else nodded in agreement ready to participate in an old past time favorite.

The throne room glistened softly as the sun covered the immense chamber. At the end of the room was the actual throne along with two other seats next to it. Sitting on the throne was the King, weary and tired from worry of the well being of his daughter, next to him was the Queen who tried her best comforting the king of his ill-broken heart. The last seat was meant for the missing princess. Interrupted by your presence he looks at you three with unimpressed eyes. The King leaned forward...

"And who may you three be?"

Ren looked at the three who were still absorbing the story. Ren signaled with his eye to Jaune to introduce himself as oral interaction was a major part of the game.

"Oh. Um. My bad. Hello my name is Jaune and I am a, " Jaune looked at his character sheet again for clarification, " I am a cleric and I wish to save your princess."

'He doesn't have to use his real name.' Thought Ren but he was a newcomer and was given leniency.

"Cleric Jaune, I am humble for you to travel so far in hope to save my princess from the clutches of the vile sorceress. Surely the Almighty One has sent you to rid of her for good and return my dear Celia back to us."

"Sure yeah let's go with that." Jaune said rubbing the back of his neck. He didn't know why but he felt embarrassed by his kind praise.

"Who be your companions? Comrades perhaps?"

"Aye good king, a comrade indeed. I am Pyrrha, Jaune's faithful companion and long time partner. I've had traveled many years with Jaune even before his following into the Clergy. Ever since he saved my life from my former gang I've felt that to return the favor by protecting his life as he did with me." Pyrrha said clearly and professionally.

Jaune looked at Pyrrha bewilderingly. "I did?"

"Yes Jaune you did... well for the back story at least." She answered back with a smile.

Ren was impressed with Pyrrha's enthusiasm and preparedness. She even developed some form of back story and goals for her character. Sure it was cliché for his liking but, it was the thought that counts. However the emphasis on the partner was scratching back of Ren's mind but, he had more troubling matters to deal with.

The king stares intently on the last visitor who had remained quiet through their introductions.

"Who would you be traveler? Friend or Foe."

Finally Nora's turn did she finally propped herself upright on her chair hands on the table. "I. AM. ZOKTOR. THE DESTROYER." Nora's voice hit a low menacing octave as she told her name.

.

"Zoktor the Destroyer? Really Nora?" Ren said looking at her with cold expression. "You couldn't choose another name?"

"Yes..." She said back mimicking a defiant brute.

"Nora give me your character sheet." Ren said maintaining his anger to a minimum as he reached for his childhood friend's character sheet. Nora happily gave it to him with little resistance aside the playful smile she always carries with her. Paper in hand Ren took a quick look on it only to be shock.

Ren looked back up at Nora. "Nora you do realize you are a magic user with hardly any intelligence or even a spell...what is 'fist' even supposed to mean?"

"You'll see!" She brimmed back brightly not even phased of Ren's displeasure. The BM could only sigh in defeat and continued on with the campaign.

The King and Queen ignored the mad self proclaimed mage. Each passing day meant more harm may come to his princess if she hasn't died yet. He would take any help due to the lack of manpower and time was running short.

" Go forth north from the end of the city gates. There you will find the Evil sorceress lair and my daughter. I shall reward you all greatly if you come back successful!"

As the adventures left the King looked at the three adventurers with worried eyes. He has sent many warriors,knights, and mages to save his daughter and none came back. His heart panged in pain as he felt he sent another three to their early deaths. He took a locket out underneath his robes and with his battered and scarred hands did he press on the button revealing what was inside. A picture of himself, his wife, and his beautiful daughter Celia on one side. On the other side was him and another woman who had long raven hair and green eyes. He caressed the picture of his daughter before closing it hoping it would bring luck and a safe return.

"May the Lord have mercy on these brave adventurers, for my enemies won't."
