The Oldwood is regarded as dangerous for a reason.  Few who enter the dense trees come out, and those who do are often… changed.  Our heroes hope to thwart that conception by rescuing a group who found themselves captured by the most vile creatures in the land: goatlings.  They journey deep into the Oldwood to find the home of these creatures, but what they find within the dungeon is somehow even worse than these foul-mouthed fey.

Ariel slaps some sense into the party.

Eto learns to hate the twerk.

Nausicaa vaporizes a goatling.

Nehmet enters dangerous waters.

Ylva meets a new friend.

Next time on…

Winding tunnels still await the heroes as they continue their trek through the Mossy Temple, and questions eat at their minds:  What is this temple?  Where did the maenads come from? And possibly most pressing: where are all of the people they’re supposed to save?  The answer comes in a form somewhat familiar to their last night in Estoria, though the outcome is drastically darker.  The heroes were ill-prepared for this...

Why does Ariel know the name Demetria?

Does Eto have a soft spot for his new comrades?

What did Nausicaa learn while living in the Oldwood?

How can Nehmet recover his memories?

Does Ylva know what her ward is capable of?

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 Dungeon Master (Sam).  Many dangers exist in Thylea, especially for one so bold as to take up adventuring, but if The Chosen of Versi fail in their quest, the future of Thylea is certain to be a grim one.
