Esmerelda and the Bard's Lament
Introduction
Esmerelda is only a fledgling wizard who has recently escaped from a dismal existence in a desolate, forsaken, and lonely corner of the kingdom. In the process, she has gained the company of some new friends, but with that freedom, she has also inherited several gut-wrenching challenges demanding her devotion.
The Reunion and Its Challenges
First, she has been reunited with a sister whom she long thought was dead. Unfortunately, it has not been a happy reunion because her sister has turned demonic and is now imprisoned within a magical rod. She contemplates rescuing her sister from her horrible fate, but she has only rudimentary wizardly skills to work with.
The Gypsy Bard's Tale
In the course of her sister's imprisonment, a young gypsy bard has been magically released from his imprisonment and claims the rod. He has a most wondrous tale to tell of shadowy intrigue involving a terrible, mystical, shape-shifting creature called a doppelganger. He also claims to have consorted with some magical, fun-loving blue giants and to have narrowly escaped a fire-breathing dragon. On top of that, he claims to have been tragically parted from his family and requests aid to help him reunite with them.
