The Adventure of the Steel Gazelle

Read The Adventure of the Steel Gazelle Storyline:

Eile and Sunny are newbies to the Dreamworld, inexperienced and vulnerable. Their mentor, Medb hErenn, is teaching them the facts of Dream-life, but she can only do so much, and trouble seems to follow the Girls like a love-starved puppy. So when she leaves them in the care of a friend who owns a tavern while she runs an errand, it isn't long before all hell breaks loose. This is a short story.Eile and Sunny first learn of the Land of the Dreams of Men when the Cats of Ulthar kidnap and force them to help Medb hErenn save it from an eldritch threat. Afterwards, back in the Waking World, Medb offers them a way to return to the Dreamlands whenever they wish. So, the next night they decide to check it out for themselves....The Girls are relative newcomers, and while they can take care of themselves, there is much they need to learn before they can go off exploring on their own. Medb takes the responsibility to mentor them, to educate them on the ways and nature of the Dreamworld and train them in armed combat with Medieval weapons. Part of this includes taking them on tours to familiarize them with the people, communities, and landscape, and to introduce them to potential friends and warn them of potential enemies.However, if she feels they are not yet experienced enough to handle encounters she must face, she leaves them in the care of friends with instructions to stay out of trouble. Unfortunately, trouble follows them like a love-starved puppy, so often times it isn't long before they find themselves neck-deep in some kind of disaster, even if it isn't their fault.
