About Unbalanced Encounters
From the publisher's feed
In the basin of an island outcast in a shallow sea, a city yearns for the gold of a dragon's horde. And this rush has made prospector-adventuring parties commonplace. From the many calls to plunder…
comes a flyer promising fortune, fame, and near-certain death. And our four idiots have answered the call.
