Family Secrets

by Sandeli Foxglove

Act I

Prologue

Enter Chorus

Chorus

Old forces of great strength, long forgotten,
In fair Perrenland, where we lay our scene,
From ancient halls beneath the ground, begotten,
Awful monsters with intentions unclean.
Opposed only by heroes by chance,
Sandeli Foxglove a lady lost at young age,
Honeypot the faun that loves to dance,
Velicia of the eladrin, a swordmage,
Dorothea star-touched and strange of mind,
Last of them, but foremost in battle,
Nathaniel Deverin the fighter refined,
But on characters, lets not prattle.
O, pardon! since a crooked figure may
Attest in little place a giant;
A few men, green in face, may portray
A whole hoard of goblins, defiant.
Suppose within the girdle of these walls
Are now confined, cities and halls below ground,
Where our heroes' struggles and their calls,
bouncing from wall to wall, loudly sound.
Think when we talk of horses, that you see the steeds,
Printing their proud hoofs i' the receiving dirt;
For 'tis your thoughts that now must deck our heroes' needs,
Carry them here and there; jumping o'er time, overt,
Turning the accomplishment of years
Into an hour-glass, solving many a mystery.
So now my audience, you may without fears
Admit me Chorus to this history;
Who prologue-like your humble patience pray,
Gently to hear, kindly to judge, our play.

Exit

Scene I. Sandpoint. A square in front of cathedral.

Nathaniel, Velicia, Dorothea, Mayor Deverin and Attendants

Mayor

Holds speech of feast for new cathedral ...

Enter Sandeli.

Sandeli

Dear Velicia, I find thee here at the food tables. Have you not eaten yet or is the question more correctly put thus; Is there still food left?

Velicia

Sandeli, you know me and so do I you. There are many dishes left and now that you are here we will this amend.

Enter Honeypot dancing and playing flute.

Velicia

Look! I know this faun. Honeypot! Over here!

Sandlei

A faun? Known for their drink as well as their music. Though I know of them I have yet to meet one. I shall keep my purse close.

Velicia

This one is of exceptional virtue. She has none of the treachery that stain their reputation. Here she comes now.
My most dear Honeypot! What's the news with you?

Honeypot

My excellent good friend! How dost thou, Velicia, and who is your friend?

Velicia

I fare well indeed. And this is Sandeli, a student of mine in matters of script.

Sandeli

Aye! I fill papers with ink and have yet write, not to the fault of my teacher.

Velicia

But, what is this I hear stirring? Look! Goblins!

Enter Goblins.

Nathaniel

To Arms! To Arms! Citizens, defend yourselves or flee!

Goblins

Goblin song...

Sandeli

'Tis rude to interrupt my meal in this way. That deed shall not go unpunished.

Attendants flee.
They fight.

Dorothea

Something weird

Alarum

Nathaniel

Alas! The goblins do dark deeds, indeed. They do not even leave the dead alone in their eternal sleep. Nay! I shall thwart their unsavory plans.

They fight. Goblins drop bag.

Enter Aldern hard pressed fighting goblins.

Sandeli

Stand back noble man. We will save you!

Honeypot

Oh. How handsome.

They fight.
The goblins die or flee.

Mayor

Thanking the heroes.
