My Cabbages VII

A look of determination crosses Baba’s face as you empathetically help him pack up his cart and cabbages again. His horse has abandoned him, the ruins of his cabbage crop lay behind you, yet he stares towards Redbrook with a fierce gaze.

“I will not be dissuaded!” he cries out to no one in particular.

The dust and debris clear and Charles Horsington III steps out and steps in front of the now horseless cart.

“Neigh.”

Baba and Charles share a look together, and they set off to Redbrook.

Bracing yourself for the worst, you try to keep a safe distance and listen for any distress but surprisingly, you hear no outcry in the distance.

You reach the outskirts of Redbrook where some town guards are inspecting incoming goods.

“...cabbage slugs?”

“Yes sir, it’s a very serious infestation from south of the Sinking Swamps in Tirfindoir. I’m going to need to check your cabbages.”

It’s at this moment you notice a cloaked figure slinking away from Baba’s cart.

The guards begin inspecting Baba’s cart, and before you can blink, one of them shouts, “SLUG INFESTATION!”

Several guards immediately throw oil and fire on Baba’s cart and set it alight while Baba cries out.

“MY CABBAGES!!!!!!”
