A Monastery in the Mist

Fiction | Game | Medium Adventurers League ⚔️

A tutorial for the MAL wits rules, and an introduction to a new game location

In a moment between quests, you find yourself sitting at the bar in the League Headquarters. Yorrick has just served you a cool ale.

“Is there somewhere I can learn to develop my, like… strategic thinking?” you ask Yorrick, reflectively.

He raises his bushy eyebrows, and stops polishing a glass. “Well, young adventurer… perhaps you are more committed to the profession than I realized.”

“For sure, Yorrick,” you reply. “I want to be the real deal. And some of the puzzles I’ve come across on quests make my brain hurt.”

He puts down the glass and leans forward. His breath has a rich, grassy smell, and you wonder what he eats. “You need to go see the Monks of Mediana,” he says in a low voice. “Their arts will improve your presence of mind, and also your stealth.”

“Sounds perfect!” you say.

He narrows his eyes, looking around the taproom. “They’re fussy, though. Perhaps someone known to them will need to introduce you.”

“Okay,” you reply, hoping that Yorrick is volunteering for the role.

“You’ll need a tribute, too. 10 silver pieces for the monastery.”

“Ten!”

“They got repairs to do, kid.”

Grumbling, you check your pouch.
