So You Want to Be a Hero

Rule 12: Not All Rats Are Your Friends

Content warning: violence, mature language, sexual themes 

Our Merry Band of Heroes receive a mission from Captain Aldin de Armos of the Moonlight Sentinels: find and retrieve the two guardsmen who disappeared while investigating the missing people of Lower Tarin. Sparrow discloses a little more about her past. Forte invents germophobia before the discovery of germs. An inconsequential background character finally gets his time in the sun…er, moon? Whatever.

Do YOU believe in birds?


Our Dungeon Master is Brad Silman
Lucius "Forte" Black is played by Laus Weindel
Tango Honeypot is played by Davis McQueen
Sparrow Softwind is played by John Garza
