Part 1
Addison: I’m not sure I like this part of town…
You, Ethan, and Addison leave O’Dooley’s pub after happy hour and head down an alleyway, looking for the parking lot where Ethan parked his Porsche.
Danny: I don’t think we’re going the right way, Ethan…
Ethan: Hmm… did I park on the other side of the building? I completely forgot…
Addison: Can we walk a bit faster? We’re literally down a dark alley right now…
Just as the words leave Addison’s mouth, a man in a black ski mask springs out from behind a dumpster! He aims a serrated knife at Ethan, holding his other hand out expectantly!
Danny: What do you want? Money! This doesn’t have to get violent.
The man shakes his head, gesturing at Ethan’s phone.
Ethan: My phone?! Come on, man, my whole life is in this phone! My career depends on it!
The mugger makes a throat-slitting gesture with his knife, glaring at Ethan!
Addison: Ethan, please just hand it over! You can always get another phone!
Ethan: Fine. Take it.
Ethan slaps his phone into the man’s hand. As the man turns to go, another figure looms out of the shadows of the alleyway!
Rok: Unhand your prize or feel the bite of my blade, cur!
Time - 4 hours
A muscular young man armored in steel and leather stares down the mugger! The mugger sneers and turns the knife on him, tucking Ethan’s phone into a picket of his coat.
Rok: So, it’s a fight you seek, is it? Come then, dog’s son, and slake my thirst for combat!
The stranger reaches behind his back and grips the holt of a sword! He slides it out of a leather scabbard, revealing three feet of tempered steel!
Rok: Let us see who was meant to live this day… and who was meant to die.
Rewards
The mugger’s eyes go wide! He turns tail and flees down the alleyway, his knife clattering to the ground!
Rok: I knew I sensed the stink of cowardice on you!
The stranger takes off down the alley after the mugger, shouting to you and your friends over his shoulder!
Rok: Make haste! Will you allow this brigand to make off with your belongings?!
Part 2
Rok: Help me catch this scoundrel!
You, Ethan, and Addison run alongside Rok, the mugger’s frantic footsteps ringing through the alleyway!
Rok: So! The three of you have some courage after all!
The mugger scrambles up a ladder, panting with the effort. You and your friends follow Rok as he climbs hand over hand after the mugger.
Danny: Who are you?!
Rok grins over his shoulder at you as he continues up the ladder.
Rok: You haven’t heard of me? I am Rok, who snatched the Spider’s Sapphire from the web of many-legged Orthrax! Rok, who cast Gulhar the Vast from his lofty spire and freed the Eastern Wastes! Rok, who--
Ethan: Wait! You’re Rok the Reaver!
Rok clambers over the top of the ladder and offers Ethan a well-muscled arm, hauling him up onto the roof.
Rok: Aye. Reaver, they call me. Thief, defiler, and savage. But among my own people, I am called--
Ethan: No, I mean you’re Rok the Reaver. From the new TV show!
Rok pulls you and Addison off the ladder and sets you down on the roof.
Rok: I know not this ‘TV show’ you speak of. But for now, let us interest ourselves only in the safe return of your stolen loot!
At the far end of the building, the mugger leaps between two rooftops!
Rok: After him!
You run after Rok, who clears the gap in a mighty bound!
Danny: Here goes nothing…
You run up to the ledge and jump!
Danny: Yaaaah!
You jump from one rooftop to another, a twelve-story drop yawning below you!
Rok: Hurry! He’s getting away!
Addison and Ethan clear the gap and keep pace with you and Rok! Up ahead, the mugger whips out a metal hook and slips it around a zip line!
Ethan: What the hell?!
As you and your friends hurry to the ledge, the mugger slides down the zip line and into the back of a waiting van!
Rok: Yar’s beard! He’s a slippery snake, I’ll give him that!
As the van’s tail lights fade down the street, Rok glares after it, standing on the ledge of the building. You pull Ethan aside.
Danny: Uh, Ethan… you said you recognized this guy?
Ethan: Yeah… he’s in the new fantasy TV series, ‘Rok the Reaver’, and he’s apparently a serious method actor. He only answers to ‘Rok’ now, and he--
Rok: Come, friends! Why do you mutter while thieves claim your treasure? We must find them!
Danny: Can I just ask why you’re so interested in helping us, Mr. Rok?
Rok: It is a long story, and I can think of many finer uses of our time. Know only that I roam the land, aiding those who suffer. Yar’s will be done.
Addison: Um, okay… but that doesn’t change the fact that we can’t actually track down whoever stole Ethan’s phone.
Ethan: Don’t worry. What that lowlife doesn’t realize is that I’ve had ‘Fine My Phone’ installed since day one. We just need to follow the signal.
You pull out your phone and punch in Ethan’s phone number in the ‘Fine My Phone’ app.
Rok: What manner of wizardry is this?
Danny: Okay, we’re triangulating the position… Got it!
Your friends crowd around your phone as a flashing blip races west toward the Santa Monica mountains. As it nears the mountain range, the blip disappears!
Rok: Argh! They must have magic of their own!
Ethan: Or they’re based somewhere off the grid. Which means I’ve been robbed by… The Data Bandits.
Addison: Come again?
Ethan: The Data Bandits are a group of hackers who’ve been stealing and selling private information about celebrities in the last few months. They must’ve known my phone was loaded with contacts… Ansel Elgort’s private phone number would fetch a high price on the black market.
Danny: Why haven’t the cops done anything about them yet?
Ethan: These guys strike like thunder and disappear like smoke. Their hideout’s completely off the grid, hidden in the Santa Monica mountains. They can spot cop cars from miles away, and they’ve got plenty of practice making themselves hard to find.
Rok: The mountains of Santa Monica, you say? I know them well.
Ethan: Oh, right. Most of ‘Rok the Reaver’ was filmed there, right?
Rok: ‘Filmed?’ I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I did spend the last season of my life wandering that wild range. With my knowledge of the land and a small team, we can find these Data Bandits and take them by surprise. Who’s with me?
Rewards
Rok holds out his hand, his eyes blazing with determination. Ethan lays his hand on top of Rok’s.
Ethan: My career’s over if I don’t get that phone back. I’m with you.
Addison: I’m not going to let a bunch of creeps threaten my friend. You can count on me.
You lay your hand on top of Addison’s, Ethan’s, and Rok’s.
Danny: Let’s get these guys.
Ethan: I’ll get my Porsche and pick you guys up. Wait here!
Part 3
Ethan: Get in. We’re going hunting.
Ethan brings his Porsche around and idles on the curb while you and Addison lead Rok to the car.
Ethan: Everyone in. We’re going on a road trip.
You and Addison buckle in, but Rok remains motionless, staring at the car suspiciously.
Rok: How can you entrust your lives to this… this steel beast?
Ethan: Whoa, this is a Porsche, buddy!
Rok: If only Rhiannon of the Gleaming Coat were here…
Danny: Who of the what?
Rok: Rhiannon, of the Gleaming Coat. The fastest steed on the Thundering Steppes. A wild creature, untamable and obedient to no man. Unfortunately, she only appears in the hour of my greatest need… and this is not that hour.
Addison: So… you’ll get in the car?
Rok: Alas, yes.
Rok climbs into the Porsche and pulls up his knees to his chest.
Rok: Do your worst.
Rewards
Later, Ethan’s Porsche comes to a stop deep in the Santa Monica mountains at the start of a foot trail.
Ethan: Looks like we can’t take the car past here.
Rok: Thank Yar! Man was not meant to travel faster than his own two feet can carry him.
Danny: What about when you’re riding a horse?
Rok: Er, then it’s okay. Now, enough chatter… we’ll go the rest of the way on foot!
After following Rok through the mountains for a few miles, you and your friends crest a hill and spy a rundown lodge tucked into a small valley.
Danny: Is that--
Ethan: Yeah. That’s them. See the van out front?
A wolf howls in the distance as the sun sinks below the horizon.
Rok: Attacking under cover of darkness would be a cunning strategy… but these snakes would use that darkness to disappear. Let’s rest for now, and attack at dawn’s light.
Part 4
Rok: We attack at dawn. Now is the time for sleep.
After gathering firewood in the forest, you crouch around a small campfire with Ethan, Addison, and Rok as night falls.
Danny: Wow, it gets really dark out here…
Ethan: Good for a ghost story, huh?
Addison: Can we… not tell ghost stories? I know it’s dark, and we’re around a campfire, but… maybe we can just skip the ghost stories?
Rok: The night is dangerous enough without conjuring false phantoms. We--
Just then, you hear the snapping of a twig! You all whirl around, staring into the darkness!
Danny: What was that?
Rok unslings his sword and creeps forward, his shadow flickering in the light of the fire.
Rok: Perhaps your bandits hope to take us unawares… If so, they’ll find us well-armed and well-prepared!
Time - 6 hours
Danny: Rok! Do you see anything?
Rok tightens his grip on his sword and inches forward, reaching out a hand to push a dense shrub aside…
Rok: All right, you sons of— Raccoons?
A family of raccoons scampers out from behind the bush, their tails rustling through the branches!
Addison: Awww, so cute!
Rok: We’re safe… but there nay be more than raccoons out there. I’ll take first watch.
As Rok climbs to the top of a nearby hill, Ethan and Addison try to get comfortable on beds of pine needles.
Ethan: Well, goodnight, team. I guess we’ll continue this adventure tomorrow.
Addison: Are you going to bed, Danny?
Danny: Hmm, I think I’ll go see what Rok’s up to.
Addison: All right… don’t get lost out there!
Danny: I won’t.
You pick your way up a hill and find Rok on the other side, looking out over a shimmering lake.
Danny: Whoa… I had no idea this was here!
Rok: Nature holds many surprises… if man is brave enough to look for them.
Rok’s face takes on a somber cast as he gazes out across the waters, his eyes dark with grief.
Rok: This land… ‘Hollywood’, you call it… is foreign to me. Its people are vain and foolish. This world is obsessed with creating false experiences… moving pictures that trick the mind and muddle the senses. And the wealth from this industry is squandered on plastic faces and empty palaces… it’s all meaningless!
Danny: I agree. Everyone in Hollywood is so superficial. You should see some of the people I’ve had to deal with since I moved here. All they care about is likes and retweets and--
Rok: Likes? Retweets? Are these some sort of precious gemstones?
Danny: Never mind. I’m just saying… I know how you feel.
Rok turns to look at you, a broad grin on his face.
Rok: It is good to find a friend, even in this strange land.
Danny: Well… Are we… just friends?
Rok turns to look at you, his eyes searching your face.
Rok: Perhaps we can be more… if that is what you wish.
Danny: It is what I wish! Kiss me, you fool!
You step forward, and Rok’s arms encircle you in a surprisingly tender embrace. You run your ringers through his long hair and kiss him deeply as the night comes alive with the howling of wolves.
Danny: Mmm… that was nice.
Rok: It was. But now, you must rest. And I must keep watch.
Danny: Sweet dreams.
You leave Rok on the lakeshore and lay down on your bed of pine needles, still feeling the ghost of his embrace as you drift off to sleep…
Rewards
The next morning, you wake to find Addison and Ethan yawning and blinking in the morning sun. Rok stands on the crest of the hill, testing the edge of his blade against his thumb.
Rok: Come, my friends. Battle is at hand!
Part 5
Rok: The joy of battle is mere moments away!
On the hill, overlooking the Data Bandits’ compound, your group scopes out the enemy forces.
Rok: I count one… two… three… four scoundrels. That’s three for me, and one for you three to take care of.
Danny: Wait, what?
Rok: No time for talk! ATTACK!
Rok charges down the hill, unsheathing his sword!
Danny: Wait, that was the whole plan?!
Time - 8 hours
You, Ethan, and Addison hurry down the hill to catch up with Rok! The Data Bandits hear his war cry and rush out of their compound, armed with shock prods and telescopic batons!
Addison: Oh god. They don’t look friendly.
Ethan: Where’s my phone?!
Rok meets the first bandit head-on, swiping his legs out from under him with the flat of his sword! The man falls in the dust, hard!
Rok: Ha! One down!
Danny: Rok, I don’t know if we’re cut out for--
Before you can finish the sentence, a bandit swings a baton at your head! You duck!
Danny: Nice try, jerk!
Your spring back up and pop the bandit in the jaw, allowing you to wrestle the baton away from him!
Rok: Good reflexes, Danny! That’s two down!
The remaining two bandits rush into the compound!
Ethan: They’re going to take all their data and disappear! We need to stop them!
You and your friend sprint into the hideout and find a room full of high-tech servers and computer equipment!
Danny: This must be where they keep all the data they’ve stolen from celebrities…
Rok: Not anymore!
Rok raises his sword like an executioner and brings it crashing down onto the main server! It bursts apart in a spray of sparks!
Addison: Wait, if you’re really Rok the Reaver, how did you know which server to hit?
Rok: Instinct.
Just then, you spot one of the Data Bandits rushing upstairs with Ethan’s phone!
Danny: That guy has Ethan’s phone!
Rok: I’ll handle this!
Rok sprints up the stairs after the bandit, and you follow close behind. Upstairs, you find Rok bearing down on the bandit with Ethan’s phone!
Rok: This ends here!
A flash of movement catches your eye! The fourth bandit emerges from a closet, creeping up on Rok, a shock prod aimed to strike! You tackle him! Before the fourth bandit can attack, you tackle him to the floor!
Rok: Huh?!
Rok turns to look as you disarm the bandit, tossing the shock prod down the hall.
Danny: Three down.
Rok: Danny… you saved my life. I owe you a--
Danny: Rok!
With Rok distracted, the bandit with Ethan’s phone sprints down the hall and leaps out of an upstairs window!
Rok: By Yar! I can’t let him get away!
Rok bursts through another window, sending glass shards flying in all directions! You rush to the windowsill to see…
Danny: My god… Rhiannon of the Gleaming Coat! She’s real!
Rok rides away astride a gleaming palomino horse! Her hooves thunder over the plains, catching up with the bandit in no time! Rok presses his sword between the man’s shoulder blades.
Rok: Hand it over.
Rewards
You rush downstairs to find Ethan and Addison staring in awe at Rok as he rides back on Rhiannon of the Gleaming Coat.
Ethan: But you--
Addison: How can she--
Rok: Don’t waste your breath on questions. The bandits have been routed, and Ethan has his magic device back. You all fought bravely this day… I was honored to have you at my side in battle.
Rok climbs down off Rhiannon’s back and walks over to you, his eyes suddenly serious.
Rok: You most of all, Danny. I would’ve died had you not intervened.
Danny: What are friends for?
Rok: Ha! Indeed! But in truth, I owe you my life. I owe you… A debt of blood.
Danny: That sounds serious.
Rok: It is. I would swear my life to you… if you’ll have me.
Will you swear a blood debt with Rok and welcome him into your entourage? Go to the A-Lister Store to purchase Rok! Once you’ve added Rok to your entourage, you’ll unlock special rewards and bonus story options!
Addison: I’m not sure I like this part of town…
