With their first of three great labors completed, the Chosen of Versi make their trek back to Estoria for a little bit of downtime.  Clothes lost in the mine are replaced, new, powerful weapons are commissioned and a couple of new characters about the city are met.  With the wine festival dying down and the Order of Sydon still demanding the princess’s sacrifice, the heroes’ respite will be short lived, but such is the life of a prophesied hero.  There are beasts to slay, foes to thwart and… plays to watch?

Ariel takes the girls shopping.

Eto hits a growth spurt.

Nausicaa commissions a new bow.

Nehmet mouths off to a god.

Ylva makes everyone cry.

Next time on…

It seems like the Chosen of Versi are coming to a tough decision.  If princess Anora is sacrificed, the city of Estoria will surely crumble in Pythor’s hands; if Sydon is not appeased, the city will be racked with drought and razed to the ground; and if the five heroes are sacrificed, well, the future of Thylea will be grim indeed.  But then again, perhaps there is hope yet, if the heroes are clever in their next few hours.  Customs are not always what they seem and the story surely can’t end yet… can it?

Can Ariel charm more than just wide-eyed commoners?

Will Eto fare well all alone?

Can Nausicaa, a medusa, be turned to stone?

How does Nehmet take the news of his old life?

Does Ylva know how to swim?

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.
