Jeffrey The Mage

Day 1: Freedom

The day started out quite on the contrary to my belief. I thought that I would get woken up by the guards for morning exercise (god how I hate that, can’t I just sleep?) but when I saw dawn outside my window I went to my cell door and realized it was getting later than I thought. Then the jerk across the way started babbling about me getting killed. What a jerk. I never liked that guy so I hope he gets something thrown into his food. I will put in a word to the cook. He’s a good friend of mine. I suddenly started to hear the guards coming dreading the fact that I would have to sweat. When I saw who it was it was not the normal guard but a quadruplet of people. 3 in fancy armor and one dressed as if he thought himself the king of England. Dumb fancy pants.

Turns out I was correct. He WAS the king and he claimed to know me as well. Weird. What a weird guy to just come into my cell and claim to know me. I’m just a petty thief who was accidentally accused. I swear. Anyway it turns out that they were on the run from something because the captain who was a foxy lady opened a secret door in my cell.
I had nothing better to do but follow them even though the other 2 jerks were being way jerky towards me. Not too long after descending into the caverns we were attacked by inconspicuous characters unfortunately not all of us made it. The poor foxy captain was killed. No time for mourning the trio decided to take their leave of me. Then the wall to my right fell apart and I was suddenly attacked by a couple of huge rats. I was not convinced this was going to go well. Using the teachings from mage school I conjured up some power of awesomeness and burned those babies to the ground. If it was going to go like this I knew I needed a weapon so I decided to take the sword of the dead captain and proceed to get out of this place. I was no longer concerned with what the king told me.

Man was that place dangerous. At every turned it seemed like something was out to kill me and was well there traps and goblins. What the heck was this place built on? At that point I started to wonder if I would get the hell out of here.
After leaving that section I found myself meeting up with the trio albeit they were still not happy to see me. Jerks. Sad thing is it was the last time I would see the king alive. He was killed by some assailents but not before handing me the pendant of kings (which I tried wearing but would slip off of my neck) and told me to deliver it to a guy named Jauffre. Saying goodbye to his corpse I booked it out of there and proceeded to find the exit. I descended to some sewers and could smell the fresh air. Not too long after though I was confronted by some goblins and giant sewer rats. Taking care of them I headed for the light at the end of the tunnel and found daylight.
