Peaceful+Protests

Mortimer believes it will be easier to take the sorceress down without violence. He also believes violence isn't right and causes many problems. You have heard of many different tactics for peaceful protest, you suggest many different strategic ideas. Finally, you both agree on tying yourself to the trees Rowanda uses for her magical bridges. You speculate that the sorceress will be stumped when she finds out what you are doing, and stop the mayhem she is causing. Mortimer tells you that the obvious choice for the rope is unicorn hair. He says that it is the strongest, most durable material in the magical forest. Mortimer also makes a point to tell you it doesn't harm the unicorn in any way; you can tell that the elf is a total granola.

Searching for healthy unicorns to take the mighty hair from is quite a task. Most of the unicorns are either sick or dead. You draw the healthy unicorns in with nutritional grass Mortimer has been growing in his window of his house. Once you have enough unicorns to take as little as possible from each, you pluck the strong hairs from the majestic creatures. Mortimer weaves the hairs together to make a beautiful, long rope for each of you. You point out you will need provisions and some magical scissors to cut through the rope when you are done protesting. Mortimer agrees with your suggestion and you both quickly gather your supplies. Mortimer grabs some mushrooms and rock candy to eat while you are chained to the tree. He tells you to grab the scissors in the drawer with the red handles, so you can cut off the rope when you both need to be released.

"Hurry up! The unicorns are dying! Get the scissors, and let’s move!" Mortimer yells at you from the door. "Okay, Okay." You respond.

You stumble for the drawer, and grab the first scissors you see. Mortimer is already out the door, and you have to sprint to catch up. Elves are oddly fast for having such short and stubby legs. You and Mortimer head towards the forest at record speed, and find the area where Rowanda has cut down a lot of trees. You pick out the tallest, sturdiest tree, and get to work tying yourself to the tree. Rowanda's workers busily work around you cutting down many trees. When they were done the only trees left were the ones you and your friend the elf occupied. Mortimer decides to call it a night, and asks for the scissors. You pull out the scissors, and discover they are the ones with the rainbow handles, not the red magical ones. Your life flashes before your eyes as you realize you are about to die a long death of starvation and dehydration. Your supplies will only last a couple more days, and if you have to split it with the elf then you won't even have that much time. Mortimer tries to cheer you up, but you know this is the end of not only you and Mortimer, but the unicorns, too.
