Iona’s grove is rescued from the Evil Fucking Tree and our heroes are ready to return to the task at hand: their labors.  After a quick goodbye to Iona and to Nausicaa’s parents, the gang returns Versi to her temple and ventures back to the site of their first labor: The Mithral Forge outside of Estoria.  Volkan delivers the heroes’ commissioned items and it’s onward and upward to the final labor bestowed upon the heroes by the oracle Versi herself: to reclaim the ancient weapons of the long-dead dragonlords, entombed at the Necropolis at Telamok.

Ariel gets endless wine.

Eto explains the laws of the land.

Nausicaa has her first kiss.

Nehmet drops a story bomb.

Ylva spies some creatures in the dark.

Next time on…

Finally, a session without combat.  A session of rest, recuperation, role-play and reception of badass new gear.  Unfortunately it seems like this won’t be a trend for the Chosen of Versi, who we last saw on the brink of combat with a new and terrible foe: the Eye of Winter.  Will they make it to the Necropolis?  Or will this labor continue to elude them?

Can Ariel fly?

What is Eto willing to do for his friends?

What does Nausicaa‘s new bow do?

How will Nehmet‘s reunion with Damon be?

Can Ylva fend off a horde of wintry beasts?

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.
