An Unlikely Company

Updates Sunday and Wednesdays

On what might have been an ordinary day, Ophelia the necrosylph gets kidnapped by a shiny portal that gives her temporary amnesia. According to the brownie sitting beside her, they're all waiting to be assigned a quest. Apparently signed up for volunteer quest duty.

Beside her is a pyromaniac faerie burning obscenities into her wooden chair. On her other side is the ill-tempered brownie. A few chairs down a druid is screaming at the empty chair beside her. What appears to be a normal and handsome man joins via portal minutes later. They've all been summoned by the Council of Insufferable but Necessary Quests and Adventures (CINQA).

Upon beginning the meeting with CINQA, the five volunteers discover they are not, in fact, the true questors. Instead, they have been specially chosen as the expendable decoy team. Though, should they somehow manage to succeed and return alive, the lengths of their various incarcerations will be lessened. They are not expected to survive or successfully complete this quest.

They're guided by an ominous prophecy on a dangerous quest against an unknown enemy, racing an elite team who could probably beat them into dust. Ophelia, apparently recovering from her amnesia, gets flashbacks at inconvenient times. What she sees makes her wonder if she wants her memories back at all. The others keep secrets of their own. Meanwhile, their enemies are closing in and the pressure is on for them to prove themselves to their world and gain their freedoms.
