Scenes From The Fairlands: "The Desert Foxes"

 

 

 On Monday April 22, I dropped by the Sunstone Oasis sim for more on the continuing saga of the Desert Foxes in this year's "Children of Stories" roleplay. I arrived a little late to see the group looking for "The Singing Sword" in hopes of restoring the memories of a sphinx, the guardian of a lost library that had it's books all turn blank. Ultimately they were looking for the cure of a strange fever. 

The train led to an aqueduct, and someone found a secret passage near it.

 

Which lead to a cave, and a mysterious anvil, with something stuck in it.

 It wasn't the Singing Sword, but it was it's scabbard, embedded in a jewel in a hole in the anvil. Someone managed to pull it out without too much trouble. 

The group took it back to the lost library. Someone had also discovered the Sphinx's name Madulin. And at one point, a number of books appeared. It was a circular staircase of books.

It led to some circular platform on top with a spiral pattern. 

It looked like we'd gotten the books back, at least some of them. But the Sphinx still hadn't gotten his memories, yet.

 

 

And with that, it was time for the cast of characters to put the roleplay on pause, at least until the next day.
