Having met the Oracle, The Chosen of Versi psychically learn of their individual prophecies and decide to venture towards the city of Estoria. Along the way, their bardic companion finds them lodging with a simple family who eagerly host the prophesied heroes. Upon reaching Estoria, the heroes’ journey takes a strange turn as King Pythor asks an unexpected favor and they must decide between completing their labors, or aiding the king.
Ariel learns to peel an orange.
Nausicaa reveals a bit of her origin story.
Nehmet is profoundly disappointed by a monument.
Ylva speaks in unknown tongues to a stranger.
With their dwarven guide Kreon in tow, the heroes set out for the ancient Mithral Forge to complete their first great labor (not counting the boar, which was just an okay labor). Despite rumors of the mine being cursed and full of beasts, the heroes are eager and ready for anything that might come their way. But are they ready for the smells that those things might bring with them?
Will Ariel wake up on time?
Will Eto chill out now that they’re doing the quest?
Has Nausicaa been keeping track of how many eyes she’s shot out?
Does Nehmet’s poem contain magical power?
Will Ylva tell everyone what she said to Haskell?
Find out next time! Until then, remember to ward off the jealous gaze of the Twin Titans and to revere the blessed Five. May The Chosen of Versi succeed in their quest, else all of Thylea will be lost...
The 500 year Oath of Peace is coming to an end and the Titans’ jealous rage has only ripened over time. Five heroes have been summoned by the Oracle, who prophesied that they are the only hope of refuge from the death of the gods, the destruction of the sacred tree, and the total annihilation of all mortal races. Join our heroes (and their players):
Ariel (Venus), a naively entitled nymph with a pension for persuasion
Eto (Billy), a hard-ass Aresian soldier who believes that discipline and pride are cardinal virtues
Nausicaa (Violet), a strangely social medusa who can kill a yak from 200 yards away with her trusty bow
Nehmet (Sojak), a man out of time, slowly clearing a 500 year fog from his mind as he composes the greatest epic poem Thylea will ever know
Ylva (Jacob), a stranger in a strange land whose bone-and-hide armor is almost as threatening as her fiery magics
as they are guided through the world of Thylea by their Game Master (Sam). Many dangers exist in this land, especially for those so bold as to stand in defiance of the titans, but if The Chosen of Versi fail in their quest, all of Thylea will be lost.
