Maximus, ex-gladiator supreme, is now the most tyrannical slave-owner in Mytros, though much of Mytrosian society has been influenced to think little of his atrocities.  The Lady of Coins, however, wishes to put an end to his terror and has enlisted none other than The Chosen of Versi to help with that task.  It feels a far cry from liberating the continent from the murderous whims of the titans, but good deeds come in all sizes.  And all shades of gray morality, apparently...

Ariel meets some minotaurs.

Eto does a stealth mission.

Nausicaa commits arson.

Nehmet sends a message.

Ylva is a nightmare.

Next time on…

On the road again, the heroes return to Estoria, their old stomping grounds, on their way to the ominously named Dead Falls.  Tensions have been running high among the party as they grow ever closer and allow more of their personal demons out.  Perhaps what they really need is a few days traveling with a score of refugee minotaurs to air out their stresses.  Or perhaps this time without a foe to slay will only let them focus their aggression at eachother and at themselves...

Is Ariel eager to get a ship?

Does Eto think they’ll win?

Is Nausicaa ready for the Great Games?

Can Nehmet communicate with those outside of Thylea?

Does Ylva resent her gifts?

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.
