With their dwarven guide Kreon in tow, the heroes set out for the ancient Mithral Forge to complete their first great labor.  The road is long and many hazards await, as well as some unlikely allies.  After having met the local fauna, the heroes prepare themselves to begin the most dangerous task they’ve encountered yet.

Ariel drives an enemy to madness.

Eto holds council with centaurs.

Nausicaa climbs a tree.

Nehmet smells an ambush.

Ylva threatens a deer.

Next time on…

The hidden entrance to the Mithral Mines lies before our heroes and they are prepared to enter.  With their new bandit -- err, soldier -- companions, they delve deep into the caves and hallways that have been abandoned for 500 years.  The new inhabitants aren’t exactly happy to see them, especially as they interrupt dinner!

Will Ariel be able to stomach the stench?

Will Eto be able to fight in the dark?

How many chickens can Nausicaa kill in one session?

Does Nehmet understand centaur physiology?

Will Ylva’s battling give way to riddling?

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.
