Morf looks up. “What’s this quest of yours?” He then pours more tea.

" Well there is a nearby forest under the protection of a Druid, and a Town that needs looting, and some temples in need of desecrating. "

"So long as I get paid, I'm game," Selestros says. "And getting payback on those fools at the academy would be nice, too."

“Town first. Morf you pretend to be a guard and Zaarok, you approach south, and Morf lets Gary and me in, then Selestros...” They plan and practice into the night, and in the morning, Gek’s Evil and Co. heads towards Goodyville of Nicealania, ready to raid.

A strange guard walks into town, wearing a chain shirt with a slightly red splotch near the neck, " Found this Bandit trespassing outside our walls. " The guard says holding a severed head too mutilated for the face to be recognized, the guard has a hint of a smirk and looks at the head a half second too long to be normal. But the town doesn't notice. " I'll be heading to the Mayor now to report this. " The guard says walking to the barracks, " After I change. "

Morf heads off to the showers and taps his earring, which Selstros had stolen from the Academy and given the crew. It glows softly. “I’m in,” Morf whispers. “They don’t suspect a thing. Think I’m that idiot guard we killed.” He showers and heads to the town hall where the Mayor and the Head of the Guard are sitting. The Captain looks at him. “You killed a bandit outside town?” “Yesir.” “Haromet doesn’t kill. Fight, yes. Knockout, yes. But not kill.” “Circumstances call-“ “And he never wears earrings.” “I knew this was a bad idea!” Morf grumbles. “But I did something one the way to the showers...” “INTRUDERS!” A call comes from outside. The Captain grimaces. “You guys, head outside!” He yells to the first group of guards in the hall. “You, take the mayor to safety. Elenx, Gary (the 2nd) with me. We’re taking this body snatcher down.”

 *Wait. Gary?*

*It’s Gary’s evil  good twin!*

*It’s Gary’s evil  good twin!*

 :| ok.

Suddenly, a sword bursts from the chest of one of the guards. Zaarok bursts from the ground, devouring two others. From behind the fallen corpse, Selestros strides towards the guard captain. "Showtime."

Gek jumps into the fight, inexperienced with his axe, but succeeding nonetheless. "This is awesome!" He says.

Gary begins cube-clashing with the other Gary.

Back in the town hall, the Captain is ready to fight. “I remember you! Your the nasty one from the academy next town over!”  He glares at Selestros and draws his sword. Morf pulls a small stick from his pocket, and it magically expands into a scythe. Selestros lunges, and the Captain parries and strikes, hitting the outcast’s armor. They duel, but Selestros is losing. Morf moves forward, stabbing the guard in the back. The scythe goes right through a crack in his armor. The dying Captain turns around and stabs Morf. It’s a deep wound and the doppelgänger collapses. Selestros stabs the Captain in his wound, and he falls dead before he can manage a second attack on Morf. Selestros starts binding the shapeshifter’s wounds. 

Meanwhile, Gek, Gary, and Zaarok...

With a clash of steel, Selestros and another guard begin their duel. "Not so fun to be on the losing side, is it, Cordis?" he taunts. Cordis ducks around Selestros' blow, but a brutal backslash cuts him down.

Without the Captain, the guards are losing. Evil and Co are without Morf, but most of the guards are retreating and trying to save innocents. Gek throws his axe, killing a fleeing guard, then grabbing a sword from a dead warrior. Gary plows through a house, liquifying the inhabitants. Zorak emerges from the ground in front if some running citizens and a warrior, gobbling them up. Seletros is having a lot of fun fighting the guards, many of which attended the Academy. Morf is very wounded, and Selestros, Gek and Gary all have they’re injuries, but as Gary 2 retreats, the day is finally thiers.

 Zaarok munches on the last guard as Gek happily raises his axe to the sky.

Selestros searches the houses for anything of material worth. He finds a total of 60 gold, as well as a single ring of mind shielding, which he slips onto his finger.

“Now what?” Gek asks, looking out on the ruined town, with bodies scattered everywhere, collapsed buildings, and the remaining inhabitants cowering in the rubble. “Murdering people sure was fun, but what next?” Selestros responds.“We need to bandage up. Cordis gave we this-“ He rolls up his pant leg, revealing a nasty wound. “And Morf is nearly dead, though he saved my life. You don’t look to good either.”

 "We need to take everything of value, torch the place, and get out. We'll be enigmas. Warriors from the woods that destroy towns and leave without a trace," Selestros continues. As Gek helps Morf onto a makeshift wooden stretcher, the doppleganger groans. "Stupid... guard... aggh."

A few weeks later...

30 or so knights on horseback arrive in Goodville. The mayor is with them. “My city!” He cries. “Who did this?” The leader of the knights asks. “A shapeshifter, a geometric jello, some sort of lightning serpent and a two warriors, a human and something else, bigger,” the mayor responds. They head into the ruins. “It’s all gone...” The mayor is shocked. “All my citizens... gone. My guards... dead. My home... burnt to the ground.” He stands up. “Anorak, Paladin of the Kind Blades, please help. Track them down, make them pay!” The leader, Anorak, nods. “I fear this won’t be the first attack. We must stop them. And I know who they are.” “What?” “Look.” He points to a pamphlet on the ground. “Gek’s Evil & Co. Interesting. Some upstart tyrant, I suppose. Search the forest. They can’t hide forever.” 

From the nearby trees, Morf smiles. "Oh yes, we can."
