Fearnot A Story Short

Fearnot A Story Short
Sell Phrase: “Wherein fear may dwell, fearnot thine self lest ye be swallowed o’er this art.”
Plot: After meeting the Beauty, you are entreated to help save the Beast but the Story Teller has a daunting premonition. The players decline and choose to slay the beast but endeavor a partner: The Beggar. The Beauty appeals but is spurned: “Mad let us grant him, then; and now remains that we find out the cause of this effect, or rather say, the cause of this defect. For this effect defective comes by cause. Thus it remains, and the remainder thus. Perpend.” The end is unclear.
The Catch: The Story Teller and Beggar must work together to solve problems and puzzles. The story teller tells of presentiments and the Beggar tries his best to avoid them. The Beggar, with the help of the Story Teller, is able to change forms into various insects and animals to be able to complete humanly impossible tasks. Puzzles are diverse and forward the plot but nobody knows what will happen to the Beast. Do you?
