Pen & Paper Bullshit

Forced to seek shelter due to a sudden magic storm, the caravan finds itself in the mysterious town of Mala Orlytlar, populated by a variety of elven wizards. While that in itself is strange (what elf in their right mind would build a town at the foot of a mountain claimed by the Glittering King?), what's stranger is that every single elf has at least one pixie assistant; this is enough to cause the gang some concern, but when the Ebon Gauntlet shows up, things spiral out of everyone's control, as something is released. Dawn is forced to confront not only herself, but her past. Something is rotten in Mala Orlytlar.

The tension is mounting for the investigators, as they rush to the hospital to check on the well being of Amy and Ellen. The swans come home to roost in this exciting episode of City of Glass, as the mystery of who killed Brandon is finally solved; but what should be simple answers lead to a much greater mystery.

Stories carry power; the story of David and Goliath inspires the little guy to challenge the stronger, larger guy on the off chance they might actually win, while the story of Sleeping Beauty teaches us the perils of not inviting witches to the births of our children. In City of Mist, the players are the stories, brought to life; called Rifts, they can do amazing, mind-blowing things, though the mortals of the city refuse to recognize these wonders. Enter Olivia, Zoe, Oggie, and Duke, who are all Rifts, very unhappy with their lives, and incredibly drunk. What wonders will they bring into the world? Probably nothing good, to be honest.

Who set up the standing stones? Why is this normal cow so terrifying? Find out the answers to these questions and more in Friendship To Scale!

The kobold town of Diktunairy, named after the mystical tome given to them by the kobold wizard Lighnin Fingur, is within spitting distance of the caravan's ultimate goal of Forge and one of the few places left to trade before they enter the realm of the Glittering King. Biddle, the mysterious owner of the caravan, always stops in Diktunairy to trade with the kobolds, making him one of the few that does so and allowing the ramshackle town to survive on the edges of civilization. For their part, the kobolds of Dikunairy are more than happy to welcome the caravan into their small town; instead of fearing the unknown and the strange, the kobolds accept it and welcome it with open arms. But something lurks in the shadows, waiting to prey upon the good-natured folks of Diktunairy, something never seen before in this Age, something that'll redefine how Hugh understands his people and himself.
