Trusty - On the subject of Mice

Hello everybody!
::hop:: ::hop:: ::slide::

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!
