The Chosen of Versi have certainly been in many peculiar predicaments, but this might be their strangest yet.  On board a ramshackle double decker raft, floating down the River Lethe with unlikely allies and an unclear destination, searching for a mythical ship lost to the ages at the behest of a king who has offered them little aid in the past.  Rapids and river creatures plague their journey, but at the end waits the Dead Falls and, hopefully, the completion of their fourth great labor.

Ariel investigates a letter.

Eto looks out for rocks.

Nausicaa gets some takoyaki

Nehmet teaches some new vocabulary.

Ylva smells blood in the water.

Next time on…

Five hundred years ago, in the throes of the First War, the legendary Dragonlord Estor Arkelander commissioned construction of the greatest ship Thylea has ever known: the Ultros.  The ship carried legions of soldiers past the edge of the world to confront the Lady of Dreams herself in the underworld, but the ship was lost, never to be seen again.  Until now.  With its ghostly light and skeleton crew, one can only imagine the treachery that awaits our heroes as they seek to return the boat to the port of Mytros.

Does Ariel recognize anyone on the Ultros?

How long can Eto hold his breath?

Does Nausicaa remember her last visit to the underworld?

Can Nehmet forgive an old rival?

Does Ylva feel guilty for killing that goldfish?

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.
