The Longest Thread (Misadventures)

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

Butt started sobbing uncontrollably.

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

This attracted a spren.

[NameIess]

A gloomspren.

meanwhile, the Pine tree stared in horror at Adokho. “No! I cannot go with you! Not yet! My hour has not yet arrived!” He shoved the intrepid hero off of him and dashed away too quick for the eye to follow.

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

And so the foursome set off again in search of the sentient Pine Tree.

[NameIess]

They travelled long and hard, at last coming to the ancient city of Azder.

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

When they first saw it's stuning brilliance, they were knocked unconcious.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

A resident of the city turned them into soup for their restaurant.

[NameIess]

Turning fainted newcomers into soup was a well-established business in Azder.

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

They were saved by a quick witted theif.

[NameIess]

Saving fainted newcomers from becoming soup was also a well-established business in Azder. The theif held out a hand towards AdoKho. "That'll be thirteen golden dals."

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

He picked their pockets while they gathered their now meager sum.

[NameIess]

Then he gave them a refund of three dals, and walked away with all the rest of their money.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

He was quite skilled, especially considering the fact that he was two years old.

[NameIess]

You should see what his ten-year old brother could do.

[ThroughTheLivingSequence she/her/they/them]

It was quite amazing, especially considering the fact that Azdrens lived to be almost 734,000 years old.

[NameIess]

They got really good at doing stuff by that time.

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

There was a legend about one Azdren who never died, but it had to be a myth.

[NameIess]

Either that or he was someone else.

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

Someone Else appeared.

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

This fact was irrelevant to the party, until later. But they still had to find food.

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

Someone Else offered them some soup.

[NameIess]

It was the best soup he'd ever made.

[The Bookwyrm he/him]

It contained many different types of pine-vegetables.

[The Wandering Wizard he/him]

Someone else then asked for payment.

[NameIess]

Everyone in the party was too busy gagging to tell someone else they didn't have any money.
