The Ranger slipped silently through the trees, her elfin eyes glinting. Below her, an unwary, unsuspecting, and very fat paladin stood under the tree, talking to his companions, a dwarf, a half-elf rogue, and an elfin Druid…
Her eyes narrowed. She would only have one chance at this. She gripped the branch silently with her long fingers and tucked her bow back. The eagle on her shoulder gave her a knowing glance and hopped off.
Bunching her muscles, the ranger leaped.
Smedley the obese Paladin shook his head. "I don't know, she's been missing for hours now… Gar, where could she be?"
"Murdered by rabid humans," the Druid suggesting hopefully. "Or better yet, whisked off by some random cruel meat-eating human and-"
"CCCCOOOOOKKKIIIIEEEE!" screeched a voice overhead. Gegnar the dwarf was tackled to the ground as "she" flew out of the trees, cackling maniacally.
The Ranger struck a pose atop of the fallen dwarf, holding her giant terra cotta cookie jar up with both hands. "COOKIECOOKIECOOKIE!"
Smedley cracked as smile and the elfin Ranger proceeded to do her Happy-Happy-Cookie dance atop of the armored dwarf. "We found Mako!"
Mako the Elfin Ranger continued to do the Happy-Happy-Cookie dance, singing along too:
"Cookie Cookie Happy Cookie Cookie Happy Happy Happy!"
"Mako!" the Druid pulled Mako off of the Dwarf.
Mako grinned maniacally. "Cookie!" The eagle flew out of the tree and landed on her head, beak open as if in a mad grin.
The Rogue carefully picked up Mako by the collar and proceeded to hold her against the slightly mad attempts of redoing the Happy-Happy-Cookie dance.
"Come on, back to town."
Back at the Horseshoe Inn, the group pushed their way through the crowd.
Actually, they freaked out their way through the crowd, considering that this was one of the times that a slightly loony Ranger came in handy.
"Coo! Coo! Cookie!" Mako screeched, latching her arms around a burly, heavy-set orc. The orc froze, looked at Mako's big crazy eyes, and ran away screaming, creating an interesting spectacle of, well, an orc running and screaming. Finally, having reached the bar, Mako sat down on the bar itself and put her cookie jar on the stool. She sniffed.
"Eee, eee, strange bar here, they make the tables lower than the chairs."
Gegnar opened his moneybag to buy drinks and scowled. "Kaii, have yer bin stealin me gold 'gain?"
The Rogue shook her head. "Why?"
"'Cause we seem ter be runnin' pretty low on gold."
The Druid eyed them skeptically. "How much do we have left?"
The dwarf turned the bag upside down as half a moldy-cookie fell out with a dead moth and a few weevils. "Not much."
"COOKIE!" Mako screeched, leaping off the bar and scooping up the moldy cookie-half and cramming it up Gegnar's nose, watching him splutter. "COOKIE!"
Kaii groaned. "Come on, let's go find a job."
Just to clarify things, this is based on a campaign done by me, John (the DM), Kaii, Reeni, Gegnar, and Smedley.
This is my first none-FFTA story published, I'm hoping that it'll be a success!
Please do review!
