A special team of ‘Guardian Angels’ escorting Lady Blackbird through the dense woods were ambushed by a storm of crossbow bolts!
The scarecrow absorbed the bolts in his straw body…
The tin man let the bolts bounce from his armour…
Peter took flight, attacking the bandits from above…
Alice started running to find a hiding place in the woods..
Our heroes succeeded in routing the bandits, but after the battle they discovered that the Lady disappeared during the confusion!
Searching for the Lady, they found signs at a clearing further away: some trees blacked by lightning strikes, a few threads from a ladys cloak, hoof prints, it seemed the Lady fought the bandits valiantly …
They followed the hoof prints: four ponies single file, the last one carrying a heavier load…
After noon when the sun was already traveling to the west, our heroes arrived at an old guard tower and decided to make camp.
Waning moon, cloudy sky hiding the stars, while a dark shadow approached the tower…
Trying to fight the shadow, discovering that physical weapons just passed harmless through…
The scarecrow channeled Gaia’s life-giving force and chased the enemy away!
After dawn our heroes continued following the trails…
Look! An old castle! It seems there are no living souls around, only a murder of crows were circling around….
Using a Swiss knife, the Tin Man unlocked the front door easily!
Our heroes proceeded through the mead hall.
Peter used at last his artifact to detect the Lady’s whereabout: we must go down into the dungeon…
Unlocking a barred door: we found her!
While our heroes unchained the Lady, a large bell sounded the alarm….
‘Who dares to disturb my rest?’
“Run, you fools!” Scarecrows took his last stand, while our heroes escaped with the Lady!
