The Final Chorus by Jamie Murphy Episode 3 of Leopold the Minstrel Fantasy 1995

About the Story

Leopold stood at the bottom of the Thousand Steps, in the Lord Bard's Tower. Old Sam leaned against a nearby pillar, sucking on a pipe, and calmly filling the air with dense noxious fumes. "... haven't heard from them since," the Lord Bard was saying. Apparently they had sent a group of twenty or so Minstrels to recover the lost "Essence of Musik", but they had all failed to return. Of course, poor Leopold had been on holiday at the time. After all, he had just been pronounced a Bard and what else did Bards do, except take long holidays? Though at this precise moment in time it would appear that they also had to undertake the odd perilous mission - and on their own at that!

"They are going to perform some sort of religious rite, to forever destroy our music," said the Lord Bard. "You have to stop them. You have to penetrate their most secretive stronghold, where the "Cleric of Musik" lives, and recover the 'Essence'."
