Welcome back, friends, warriors and wizards, dragons and dwarves, to Episode 9 of the Saga of the Grog and Gryphon tavern!

This night our dark tale begins in the island port of Swordswaggle; fiefdom of the DUKE of WYDENBOG, on the river Stigiar. Moored near the long bridge leading into this dark port, Olaff has gotten the crew of the Lady Wrath to start repair work and clean-up while Reyna, Arullia and De V’Raltro have trod off into Swordswaggle in search of supplies for the ship refit. Though a seemingly simple task, the adventurers find that the streets of Wydenbog’s island keep are far darker the deeper they go and the adder’s eyes are watching….

While many, many, long leagues away, other questors are on a march to the Grog and Gryphon tavern in the D’Annulshire Forest. Acetegan, Alithia and Duro D’un have gone in search of the missing Amber Bane and have run across talking Corbies of the dark with ominous utterances and an even darker mistress!

Finally, fate looks on Bane Renbourne even as he parleys with Alganoir and Silverr-O at the blood Queen Beladonna’s Dark Keep in Tercia; making them an offer they can neither refuse or tolerate…

Just another dark tale of Honor, blood, mysticism and betrayal in the Saga of the Grog and Gryphon…

So Hoist a Tankard and Join the Quest! But don’t forget thy broadsword!
