Mission 3 Go!
You, Robert and Sir Loin return to the Rood Part of George. As you climb up the stairs, Robert gives Sir Loin a tour of the tower.
"So, this is the first floor. It's a reception room of sorts. Now, the second floor is where the servants lounge around." There is a pile of bones on the floor. "On to the third floor, we have this torture chamb-"
He is interrupted by the squealing of Princess Mora and the quick steps down the stairs. "Yayayay! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" She leaps and gives you a hug in midair. You see Robert pout and glare, so you set the Princess down with one arm.
"Thank you so much for getting me that bow!"
"How did you know we were going to get it?"
"Magic?" she says with mischief.
Robert shuffles closer. "You know, Princess, I was the one who found its locati-"
Mora glances at him and for the briefest moment you see a bit of sadness in her face, which quickly returns back to her happy self. "Oh, hey, who's the new guy?"
You explain Sir Loin's existence. You throw Robert a pouch of 400 gold to make minions for the trip, to which Mora squeals in delight again and runs off to her room. You pat Robert on the shoulder. Sir Loin follows your lead, patting him on the shoulder perhaps a bit too hard. Robert begins summoning, and returns with two brutes, ten warriors and ten archers. You cast your teleport spell on them and they disappear.
From your mystical orb you see what transpires with your henchmen. You see the bandit lair up ahead, a wooden fortress built into a tree with many surrounding guard tower tree houses around it. There are a lot of elf bowmen and bandit warriors, and Robert detects the magic users scattered around the fortress. Sir Loin readies his minions and begins scaling the trees. The elves try to pepper them with arrows, but they simply go through the skeletons' ribcage or bounces off Sir Loin's armor. Robert orders his archers to fire, hitting some of the elves and causing them to fall to their deaths.
Sir Loin finally reaches the top and charges. He slashes left and right, darting away from sword blows and arrows. The two brutes swing their clubs and bash away, but one of them is taken down by a barrage of arrows. The second one is pushed off the treetop. The skeletal warriors don't last long, but they manage to keep the bandits busy while Sir Loin finishes them off. Robert continues his assault, meanwhile shooting fireballs to the leafy canopy. The fortress is ablaze!
Finally you see the magic users, three tall elves wearing robes. What are these wizards doing with bandits? You don't have time to think as Sir Loin is blasted by three bolts of magic at once, causing him to nearly fall off the bridge. He casts chill on one of them, rooting his foot to the ground with ice. Robert teleports to the top, blasting with magic missiles. One of them is hit and trips and falls off the roof. The other two retaliate harder. Sir Loin is finally knocked off the tree. He falls with a thud and it seems his legs are shattered, but he doesn't feel any pain. The archers continue firing, but their arrows bounce off a force field of sorts.
Robert pools his efforts and casts decay on the rooted wizard, causing the flesh slough off his face and body. The Wizard next to him grimaces and spits.
"You'll regret this." He teleports away.
Robert enters the treasury of the bandit lair. He senses the Bow of True Shot and the Ironhide armor. There is a bunch of loot and treasure as well, giving you 1000 gold. The Wizard that fell is still alive, so Sir Loin crawls over and asks for orders. Using your magic crystal ball, you can "speak" through Sir Loin.
((Sorry. Ran out of time writing this so I ended it like that.))
