The Trog King’s come to collect, but can our heroes pay their due?  It seems that this one final hurdle is all that remains in order to free the Mithral Mines and complete the first Great Labor, but once liberated, what other mysteries will the heroes find in this ancient cavern?  A secret lair?  New supplies?  Another descendevator to take them even deeper into the earth?  Probably not that last one, but if the Chosen of Versi aren’t above getting their hands a little dirty, some powerful surprises might be in store for them…  In the good way, not in the ambush way.

Ariel learns to peel other things.

Eto is “The Jumping Ferryman.”

Nausicaa breaks a rock.

Nehmet gets a cool knife.

Ylva harvests her fallen foes.

Next time on…

One labor down, two left to go.  With the heroes’ new found power, it seems their old foes would stand no chance!  But it seems their success has also drawn the unwanted attention of the Lord of Storms himself, or at least his impressive lackey.  The Chosen of Versi’s latest ambushers are familiar and nearly slew them last time, but perhaps this time the heroes will prove victorious.  But they still have much on their plate: two more labors to complete, the Estorian princess to rescue and Volkan’s newly liberated forge to leverage.

Will Ariel replace her torn dress?

How does Eto look in Estorian colors?

Does Nausicaa pull off the pince-nez?

Who was Nehmet before Versi?

What did Ylva learn from Astraia?

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.
