Strange events tend to go unnoticed in Baedal, compared to the much stranger things happening around them. People don't tend to be noticed when they go missing, either. The city takes these things in stride. After all, people get called back to their homeworld all the time, or they die. Everyone knows this.

Still, rumors start cropping up around the city about the sudden appearance of twelve identical towers positioned around the city like the face of a clock...

SLEEPING BEAUTY.

You are walking down the street when you are approached by an old man who asks for your help. His spinning wheel is broken, can you help him fix it? When you attempt to do so, you prick your finger on it and a splinter lodges itself under your nail. You immediately fall down into a sleep that resembles death. He takes you to a tower in Barrackham, which is covered in thorny rosebushes made of cold iron.

rescue ♞ penelope.

There's an old woman pacing outside the tower. When she sees you, she looks relieved. "You've come!" she exclaims as she approaches you. She explains the person you're looking for is here, locked at the top of this tower, but you'll never make it through the brambles on your own.

You need to find a certain golden sword; she thinks she last left it in the care of a troll under a bridge somewhere along the river... but she's not sure which one. You'll need to find it, hack through the iron roses, scale the tower, and wake your friend there up. And you'd better hurry, before something bad happens...
