Re: The Wayward Apprentice - A WoW Classic Story

Lem grabbed Abigail and the two dashed behind a some nearby crates; safe and out of sight for the moment. As they looked on, an intense scene unfolded before their eyes. About two dozen Stormwind guards and warrior trainees, armed to the teeth, charged at the center of the camp. Two or three tents w...

Re: The Wayward Apprentice - A WoW Classic Story

The gnome lifted the tent sheet and crawled under as quietly as possible. Just like in his “own” tent, there was nothing inside but the main support pole in the middle. And as he expected, the young girl was tied to is just like he was. Only… her legs did in fact, reach the ground. Lem approached he...

Re: The Wayward Apprentice - A WoW Classic Story

The bandits did as their boss commanded and the gnome wrote the letter as promised. He made sure to include a subtle bit of text that he knew, only Pip would understand. And with that he handed it to one of the goons. The others grabbed him by the elbow and dragged him to one of the tents. Just two ...

Re: The Wayward Apprentice - A WoW Classic Story

“I have a friend in Ironforge. His name is Pip Copperspur. He is an artisan engineer.” Lem’s mouth was getting dry from all the talking but he had no choice. This was his last resort. “Some months ago, we scanned a collapsed cave in Dun Morogh and we found a chest full of gold bars and coins inside...

“Abbie, get ready to cast some spells!” he shouted behind him. When he got no response, he looked back only to see a young human girl, huddled with her back to the shed, her eyes gazing sadly at the ground and a shattered expression on her face. He was alone and it was all his fault. Garrick’s cron...
