Another cool morning at the Sour Vintage.  Reminds one of the beginning of this great journey, when our heroes were hunting boars and still unsure of eachother.  Their tasks now are of a much greater scale, though, as they prepare to raft down the River Lethe to find the legendary ship the Ultros.  Given their past exploits, one can hardly guess what kinds of strange allies and new struggles face them as they venture towards the ominously named Dead Falls.

Ariel explains how to build a boat.

Eto gets a letter.

Nausicaa meets a new snake.

Nehmet forgives old grudges.

Ylva gets a kiss on the forehead.

Next time on…

We’re commandeering this airboat!  I had to say it, just once.  With Nehmet in charge, Eto looking out for obstacles and Ylva’s sister Ragna manning the rudder, our heroes set off on their hastily modified raft down the River Lethe to reach the Dead Falls.  An exciting and dangerous journey awaits, but that has become the norm for these heroes and their motley crew of allies, they should be able to handle whatever the titans throw their way.  But what was it Gorgynos said about a…  River octopus..?

Will Ariel let secrets stay secret?

Can Eto do anything useful during boat combat?

Is Nausicaa a strong swimmer?

How far can Nehmet fly?

Is Ylva feeling comfortable back on the water?

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.
