Your name is Mildred and you are a witch; a full blooded broom flying, potion making, spell casting witch. Well sort of, you would be one if your master hadn't gone and ditched you, so technically you’re just an apprentice witch for the moment and fairly young as well, Sixteen years-old.

In a day and age where the control of the Imperial church goes unchecked being in the witch craft business is risky work, but that doesn’t bother you much. This is what you would like to say but due to your rotten luck life can’t be that easy. After arriving at a town named Bordesly, you and new found friend Tamzen were swept into a raid on some forest bandits. Once that was done with you had killed a rouge mage, looted his stuff, and got the local Paladin arrested for the burning of three innocent women, busy day.

It’s been a week since then and you’re sure you’ve put enough distance between your group and the witch hunters that would be coming after you. Rounding the bend of the road you see giant white walls surrounding a gleaming city, if you’re not mistaken this is the city of Finchale. Driving up to the gate filled with hurrying people you are suddenly stopped by a city guard.

“Sorry miss but this is a random exception”

Random my ass, smiling you say “What seems to be the problem sir?”

Waving his hand he says. “Nothing much, there have just been a string witch related events going on lately and the local church doesn't like to take chances when it comes to this stuff. So now we need to look at any supplies in your cart or on your person, please step off the cart miss.”

How are you going to take care of this guy?

Roll d100, best of three

Current Inventory:
1 ornate dagger
1 potion of healing
3 scrolls of Great fireball
1 Scroll of wind-blade
1 Scroll of flight
2 Scrolls of Invisibility
1 scroll of thunderstorm
1 scroll of water breathe
1 gold coin, 12 silver coins
2 bottles of alchemy fire
2 mana jewels (needed to create scrolls or enchantments)

List of current know spells:
Unlock (allows you to open almost any lock without a key)
Lesser fireball (Basic combat spell)
Charm (Charm other people, must be done through eye contact or touch)
Make potion of healing (This takes time and ingredients)
Force push (You can affect objects up to six feet away with varying degrees of force)

Also side note, I’ve revamped the magic system a little:
1) Scroll casting with count as a magic roll (needing to roll a d100), however you will receive a bonus of +30 to the roll when using a scroll
2) Creating a scroll is rather difficult as magic hates to be trapped, this will mean you will need a minimum of 70 to actually create one on your own. Also, you can only create scrolls of the spells you know.
3) Scrolls will have a time limit of 10 minutes and take up to a minute to cast unless they are insta cast combat spells

Giving him the cutest saddest eye you have you say. "Please can I go, me and my friend are in a hurry"

Scratching his head the guard says. "ok, I guess you can go. We're looking for witches, not little girls."

Beaming a smile you move along, haha sucker. After entering the city you hitch your cart to a post and get really to go.

Tam asks. "Where are we going"

Grabbing Tam by her arm you lead her through the streets. It's seems to be really busy today as the roads are jam packed. Walking around you find out that the city has a dock, a merchants area, a university and in the centre is a small castle. After a while you find a street that's a little less busy, while walking down it a man steps out from behind a building, you immediantly notice that he is of the town guard.

"Well what do we have here" He smiles

Turning you bump into another guard and you notice another one standing between the two. You push Tam behind you.

>>31126290

"Excuse us, is there anything amiss sirs?"

If they ask what WE'RE doing we say Mildred is a traveling student who came for the university and decided to go look around the city while we're here.
>>
>>31126290
>What are you doing?

Keeping Tam close you ask. "What's the big idea"

Grinning the first one says. "Oh nothing, I just thought a couple of pretty girls like you would want to have a good time."

The one next to him laughs "Ya, a real good time"

Ok, you don't like where this is going. Sliding your hand down to your dagger slowly you grasp the handle. The three guards also reach for their swords and you all stare at each other for a couple of tense moments.

Suddenly you hear "THERE YOU ARE"

Everyone turns to see a man in his mid 20's rushing over to you "I've been worried sick about you girls"

After looking you over with great concern the man turns to the guards "I'm so sorry about my daughters sir, I hope they haven't offended you"

Looking over to Tam you mouth "Do you know him?"

Tam shakes her head

Walking closer to the lead guard the man quietly slips him a small coin purse "Please forgive them"

Weighing the purse a little, he smiles "Well I guess we can let them off, just try to teach them some manners"

"Will do sir" With that the man garbs you both and drags you away.

After turning the conner he turns to you "You were lucky I was here"

>I could have taken them

>>31126681

Ask if he can direct you to some stores.
>>
>>31126681
>Thank You
>>
>>31126681
>Thank you

Bowing her head Tam says. "Thank you"

Rubbing your hand little you say. "Ya, thank you for that but you really didn't need to"

Scoffing the man says "Sure you might of been able to scare off a couple of goons but what would have happened if they came back with reinforcements, besides I don't need you making a fuss in my city, well not now anyways"

Looking around he says "Look it's not to safe right here, you should come with me"

>Go with him

>No thank you

"Although we're thankful for your help and concern we really should get going"

The man frowns "Ok but take care of yourself, there has been a lot of strange stuff going in the city lately."

After heading back from the way you came you end up back on the main street. In the distance you see the sun starting to set, guess it's getting kinda late.

>>
>>31127147
>Head to an inn

Not wanting to risk another run in with some of those guards you head to an inn. The first one you find is called "The Sleeping Giant", seems like a decent place. Heading in you find the owner by the bar.

"Me and my friend need a two bed room, what's the cheapest you got?"

After some haggling with the owner you get a room for two silver a day (1 gold = 100 silver, 1 silver = 100 copper)

Entering the room it seems fairly unused and in much better condition than your used to. Thank god for that. Plopping down on bed you stare at the celling, well that was wild ride.

You hear Tam's voice coming from the other bed "Hey, Milly, what do we do now?"

Sitting up you say "I really don't know, I guess we just try to live our lives"

"Ya I guess so" closing her eyes Tam goes to sleep.

>Rest too

>Go down into the inn

Tired you get up and leave the room, careful not to wake Tam up. As you descend the stairs you hear the noise of the crowd getting larger and larger until you're standing in front of the large room you entered from. Inside you see the hustle and bustle of the late night crowd, barmaids are running back and forth taking orders and delivering them while the customers laugh. At one table you see a group of what looks like locals, at another you see what looks like a group adventures judge from their gear, and by the bar you see the owner serving drinks.

Walking over to the bar you take a seat "I'll take a drink"

The owner looks you up and down "How old are you?"

"Sixteen"

Filling a cup he hands you it and you take a sip, milk? You're sixteen, not eight. Sigh, whatever.

"So, as the owner I guess you hear a lot around here"

The owner smiles "Well I guess I do hear some things, what do you want to know?"

"So, I got to know, do you have any quests?"

The owner looks at you funny "If by quests you mean washing dishes then I've got loads of quests"

You give him a blank stare

"Oh come on that was a joke, look if you're looking for adventures as those guys over there" He points towards the adventures.

"Oh, ok, by the way can I ask about the guards"

The owner shakes his head "Bunch of trouble makers they are, the church says they're here for our protection but all they really do is rob us and hunt down any one that doesn't agree with the church. Half the towns fed up with them"

"Ya, me and my friend had a run in with some of them earlier"

"You ok?"

"Ya, a nice man helped us out with them"

"Nice man huh, what he look like?"

"Ummmm, he had brown hair and brown eyes and looked like he was in his mid 20's"

The owner strokes his chin "Sounds like Rob, he's always trying to make this town better, I just hope it doesn't kill him"

>>
>>31128378
>Talk to the adventures

As you get off your seat and head over to the table the adventures are sitting at you begin to hear what they're talking about.

"I'm telling you Sasha, it's clearly over here" says a blond man with small scar running across his nose as he points to a map.

The woman with rad hair tie into a ponytail looks down at the map "Randolf, you have the worst sense of direction ever, if we listen to you we'll end up in another country"

"Hey that only happened once"

"Ya once to many"

The conversation starts to get heated but when they see you standing there they quite down

"Umm can I join you" you ask

The woman frowns "I don't know maybe you should sit somewhere el-"

Before she can finish the man stands up "Sure you can dear, my names Randolf by the way"

Sitting down you scan the table, sitting there is Randolf, Sasha, and two other that look very bored.

"So sweety, what do you want?" Asks Randolf

"Umm well I heard that you were adventures and I was wondering if I could join you"

The four of them look at you for a second and then start laughing

"What?" you demand

Wiping a tear from his eye Randolf says "No offence sweety but you're a little young to be in this busisness"

Buffing your checks you say "Hey, I'm plenty tough, I fight anything you throw at me"

This just gets even more laughter. "Sweety, we only let people we think are strong enough join us" Randolfs says.

"Fine, then I'll just prove how strong I am"

This stops their laughing and they huddle a little bit, after little bit talking they look up. "Ok sweety if you can beat me in a fight then we'll let you join, if you're serious about this then meet us at our adventure guild three days from now."

"Ok, I'll be there, and by the way my name is Milly, not sweety."

Their table erupts with laughter again, damn it that sounded cooler in your head.

Getting up you go back to your room and fall asleep.

The next morning you are waken by Tam.

But we're not trying to adventure as a witch. We're an unarmed/ knife fighter / second rate archer for now.

Speaking of which, QM, do we have a bow and arrow and sword from the bandits?
>>
>>31129001
>Explore town more

Getting up you head down stairs to the inn. You see that most people have cleared out and those that haven't are asleep at their tables. Exiting you look around, it's a nice morning, perfect for stroll and checking out the town more. But where to start?

>University
>Docks
>Castle
>>
>>31129121
I think a low profile might be better than a high profile.

>>31129233

I asked to grab a spare sword and bow off of bandits last thread, but I guess we got none.
>>
>>31129285
University.
>>
>>31129285
>University

Walking around town and asking a few people for directions you eventually make it to the university and if you didn't know what it was then you would have guessed it to be a church. Stained glass windows cover every wall, huge white crosses stand tall and proud on top of the builds, and graceful carved angles hug the walls. Shesh, the church really likes to go all out.

After walking around the campus for a little bit you find a huge library, on entering it Tam imminently rushes for the books. Leaving you standing there, as you go to chase after her you hear a familiar voice.

"Milly, is that you?" Turning you see Rupert standing there.

>Hello
>Make an excuse
>Other
>>
>>31129490
>Hello
>>
>>31129490
uuuh who is Rupert again?
>>
>>31129600
Oh, it the first thread you meet Rupert on the boat you escaped on, he's a student of the church. He also believes that you are also a student of the church as well.
>>
>>31129490
>Hello
>>
>>31129629
oooooh
uh
>Hello
>>
>>31129490
>Hello

"Ummmm hi Rupert, fancy meeting you here"

"Ya, I know the worlds so small, so how have you been"

Thinking bad to the last two weeks you had, you've done better "Ummm good I guess, so how's school going?"

"Well I just got to the city so I'm still settling in but things are going great, my classes seem so interesting. So, how are your classes going?"

"Well, they're going fine"

From across the library you hear Tam yelp and a small crash

"Umm I need to go". Spriting away you head towards the sound.

Turning the conner you find Tam covered in a small pile of books. Picking her up you help her collect her things.

>Stay for longer

>Stay for longer

Finding a quite space for you and Tam you both sit down. Tam begins to dig into what she has selected and you search through a couple books until you find a book called "All you need to know about witches". Opening it out of curiosity you find it filled with ridiculous myths like how pouring holy water on witch will make her skin peel or how burning a witch cleanses her soul allowing her to enter heave, so technically it's kinder to burn a witch then just kill one. No wonder everyone hates witches, putting the book back in disgust you continue searching. After what feels like hours Tam stretches her arms "Hey, Milly I think we've been here for long enough"

>Head somewhere else

Stretching your legs, you and Tam head for the market distract. Once there you find an Apothecary shop. Apon entering you are greeted by a short chubby man.

"Welcome customers, ewhat can I do for you?"

"Well we would like to look at your goods"

>Potion of health (30 silver each, can save someone's life)
>Bandages(5 silver for a roll, used for light wounds)

Turning to Tam you ask "What do you need to brew potions?"

Looking around Tam says. "Well I need a pot, and a grinding cup, and a few other things" Walking away she goes to collect what she needs.

Leaning closer to the shop keeper you ask. "Do you have any 'special' items"

Looking around the shop keeper grabs a jar and puts it in the counter "Leaches, they fix almost every sickness"

"Ummm well I meant more of the magical type special"

The shop keeper holds his finger to his mouth and shushes you. Walking around the counter he closes the blinds to his shop. Coming back he grabs a box from under the counter, in it are rolled up paper scrolls.

"Blank scrolls, every mage needs them"

>Buy some blank scrolls (20 silver each)
>Nope
>>
>>31130574
Hm, buy 1. We can use it later if we find a useful spell to make a scroll of.
>>
>>31130574

Looking over all the supplies you pick out 1x bandages, 1x pain killer leaves, and 1 scroll.
This cost about 30 silver, a little later Tam comes back with the basic equipment she needs to brew potions (Big pot, grinding cup). After talking with the shop keeper you get the stuff for 20 silver. After everything is done you spent 50 silver. Leaving the shop you see it's getting late.

>>
>>31130833

While heading back to the inn you see a large crowd gathered in a square, some seem to be watching with long faces while others cheer.

>Check it out
>Pass it
>>
>>31130943
Ye gods, a witch burning? Pass.
>>
>>31130943
>>Check it out
>>
>>31130943
>Pass
We don't want to be caught out after dark.
>>
>>31130943
>Pass

Tam stands and stares for a little at the crowd but you quickly pull her away. "You don't need to see whatever that is"

After walking for a bit you make it back to the inn. Inside is almost completely deserted except for the owner. Walking over you ask "Where is everyone, what's happening?"

You owner gives you a grim look "They claim they caught a witch and they're holding a trail for her right now, if it goes like these things usually go then she'll be sentence to death tomorrow."

"Do they know if she's a real witch?"

"They claim she is but I wouldn't put it pass them to execute her from a different reason and then claim she's a witch."

Taking in this troubling news you head upstairs to your room. Once there Tam sets the stuff she got down and falls asleep, soon you follow too.

I think that's it for tonight, I'll continue tomorrow. Also I want to apologize for starting this latter than usual.
>>
>>31131062
that's hardly a concern when the whole crowd is out.
