Greetings Avatars – this is the audio play version of the Quest that the NBTT devised as part of the Shooter Jennings party! Due to overwhelming numbers in attendance, and multiple instances happening, we were unable to run it as planned. So, as a tribute to Shooter, and for the benefit of the community, Gabriel Nightshadow rewrote the quest as an audio play.

Fourteen of the best voice actors in the community came together to create this masterpiece – enjoy!!

STORYWEAVER

The hooded bearded figure hid behind the large puzzle tree in Gabriel Nightshadow’s backyard as he watched the people filing into the Bear Tavern this evening. Glancing down at the massive leather bound tome clutched in his right hand, his eyes grew wide as he saw the intertwined white and black dragons embossed on the cover begin to glow and an inky blackness started to spread out across the cover in all directions…

“The Great Book has become corrupted by the foul magic of the Obsidians. The dormant Darkness is once again spreading across Novia…”, he muttered to himself. “The future is hard to see…”

The STORYWEAVER opened the massive tome and began reading from the gold gilded pages…

STORYWEAVER

It was a very busy Monday night at the Bear Tavern. Balec Fares deCani was filling drink orders at the bar, and the famous bard, Shooter Jennings, was onstage….

SHOOTER JENNINGS

Thank you all for coming out to this listening party for my new album, Countach! I just realized that I forgot to bring souvenirs for you, my devoted fans! I’m going to rush home now to grab some wax to hand out! I won’t be long! In the meantime, continue to enjoy the fine food and beer here at the Bear Tavern…

STRYKER SPARHAWK

And now a toast to the great bard, Shooter Jennings!

STORYWEAVER

The crowd cheered and raised their mugs to toast Shooter, as he walked off the stage. As Shooter approached the front door, he turned and waved to everyone before heading out.

A few moments later, Aimend, the guild’s quartermaster, walked in and took a seat at a table next to Margaritte McLean.

MARGARITTE (cheerful)

Good to see you, Aimend! It’s been awhile…

AIMEND (cheerful)

Indeed it has, Margaritte! How did you fare this week in Sand’s tournament in the Obsidian Caverns?

MARGARITTE

Oh, the competition was really tough, but I emerged victorious once again!

AIMEND

I am glad to hear that!

STORYWEAVER

BALEC walked over to the table.

BALEC (cheerful)

My dear Aimend, you look simply frazzled! Can I get you something refreshing?

AIMEND (exasperated)

You know you’re crazy, Balec!
