Dungeons & Damsels - Laallafee's City Adventure by Unchained Productions

Atlanta Fringe Audio

In a medieval fantasy tale, a group of adventurers recount how they met the elf in their party, as she needed humans to help her make contact with a fellow elf living in a human city. Upon all of them arriving at the city gates, the elf discovers the mistrust and suspicion humans have for her just because she is different and strange to them. Further, it turns out that her contact has been kidnapped, and the local Criminal Collective is unwilling to help because she didn’t pay her “protection money”. The group discovers the kidnappers have taken the city elf because they believe she can make an ancient fire wand function, due to their belief she is a “magical elf”. The magic dabbler in the hero’s group arranges for a meeting with the kidnappers under the guise of promising to make the wand work in exchange for the kidnapped hostage. The two groups meet in an abandoned fighting arena, where the fire wand is demonstrated to work to great effect, and is exchanged for the hostage elf. Upon parting, the kidnappers attempt to use the wand on the group, but it fails, and the heroes make their escape. It is later explained by the magic dabbler that the fire wand had a finite number of spells it could call upon, and the demonstration exhausted its supply of magic and the wand became inert, allowing the group to escape with the hostage. Around the fireside, where this story is being told by the elf, she reflects upon her first encounter with humans, some meeting her with suspicion, fear, and hatred, but with this particular group, she found noble virtues in all of them, despite they themselves being outcasts, of a sort, in their own human world.
