1. Where’s that Goblin?
Having recovered from the Feast with the Beast, the merry band of scamps was enjoying the freedom of the woods around Tradetown. All were seated around engaged in idle chit chat, then Gorlab leaned in to speak.
"Pigsy came up to me just now” he said "but spoke as if possessed by Raij, the Beastman God of War.” Brun Casta turned to face him, looking concerned.
"Go on,” said the cleric.
"He offered me rewards if I renounced Vhaeraun.

A Cyclops, Seven Wraiths, a Lich and a Funeral
The meeting had been met and the battle had been fought. The officers and other ranks of the fledgling revolutionary army were united once again. Where else would they meet but the old Green Dragon Inn in the heart of downtown Tradetown? They were discussing their next move.
"I think it is generally agreed that we should settle accounts with the Cyclops” said Gul. Everyone nodded in agreement.
"I think it is also agreed that a more direct approach should be taken.” More nodding and drunken grunts of approval.

A Meeting and a Battle
A Meeting
Gul Kobra gazed into the darkness and listened to the sounds of the night. He was standing alone on the deck of The Retribution pondering the events of the last few hours. His comrades had, to a man, or woman, gone to a clandestine meeting in Tradetown. According to Dur it was one of the newly arrived Drow, Lady Zarae, who had convened the conference. What gave her the right? Barely on the deck and already throwing her female, noble weight around. He had fled Shannizar and started a rebellion to be free of such arrogance. She would have to be schooled in the new order of things. Gul cursed quietly to himself. How dare she? How dare they all? Only his brother had bothered to tell him of the gathering, and that was just to stay in his good books, probably. Anyway, Dur would be reporting back on what went on so at least Gul would have something on which to base his response. Was it mutiny? Was he getting it all out of proportion? He could take a gue

Brief Encounter
They spent a short while recovering from their trek and then arranged to meet Joruus at his warehouse. He gave them an update on what was going down in Tradetown.
"The thing is,” he began, "there’s this Cyclops and it’s raiding the caravans leaving and coming into Tradetown.”
"One Cyclops?” said Zaen, "one Cyclops is causing problems?”
"Well, it’s not on its own, but no one survives to fill in the details. Anyway, there’s a 6000GP reward.”

Out of the Frying Pan and into the Freezer
It was a clear, dark night. A small rodent popped its head out of a tunnel entrance. It sniffed the air. It was cold; there would soon be snow. The little creature decided that it had enough time to forage and scurried off across the broken ground. It spotted a juicy plant and began to dig furiously at the roots. It stopped its excavations suddenly. Again it sniffed the air. Something was wrong. It waited in anticipation. Then a low whine came from the darkness, gradually getting louder and louder. The air sparked and crackled. An unnatural wind began to blow. An eerie glow flickered and grew in intensity. Then, in a final eruption of elemental energy, a portal appeared. The hungry animal fled back to the safety of its burrow in a panic. The food could wait.
The Gethyanki ship emerged from the astral plane and the adventurers disembarked, bidding farewell to their rescuers. They realised that the

Apocalypse? What now?
Berun was troubled as the crew left the land of the Cronks. There was pressure on him from Gul and Brun, the cleric, to use his skills for their ends. Why must the damn captain get all the glory? Some called him Vhaeraun’s champion. Berun merely saw another Drow noble lording it over those he felt beneath him. "I am Drow too” thought Berun,”and I shall choose my own path.” He decided to jump ship at the first opportunity.
Once back in the neighbourhood of Tradetown, The Despair landed in an isolated spot and the crew made temporary camp. As they prepared a fire, began to settle down for the night and set the watches, no one noticed the shadowy figure disappearing into the darkness. Only Gorlab, Berun’s ally, knew of his dissatisfaction and future plans.

The Curse is Removed
Brief author’s note:- The narrative up to this point has been taken from the log kept by Gul of House Kobra whilst captain of the Despair and from various memoirs and reminiscences of other members of the crew. Unfortunately material relating to the early period of their return to The Valley of the Great Sword is limited to a few obscure references in chronicles of the time. Of course, this was a dangerous time for the renegades and they were probably keeping a low profile so the lack of verifiable material of their actions is not surprising.
The facts gleaned from the few fragments of evidence available amount to this. The party travelled back to the Cronk village to get the God Curse removed from Gul. They encountered a group of Corflu Cultists, or so scholars surmise as Corflu was widely wors

Farewell, Isle of Dread
Part2: Isn’t anyone ever pleased to see us?
It had been three weeks since the crew had returned from their disastrous visit to Mora. They had all recovered after the period of convalescence at Tanaroa. Berun and Goll were coming to terms with being less agile than before, but they still had determination and courage in abundance. It was time now to take The Hammer to the salamanders and collect the gorgonite sword, Kalan.
Once again Goll donned the crown and the Despair flew off towards the two volcanoes. In a short while, and without mishap, they had reached their

Farewell, Isle of Dread
Part 1: Sometimes you just can’t win
The crew of The Despair were in high spirits. The final days of their exile on The Isle of Dread were beginning and they looked forward to returning to The Valley of the Great Sword. Only one matter remained to be settled. Berun had been badgering the party to go and get the Fireball spell from "this wizard I’ve heard about in Mora”. Discussion was heated as to how they were to get to their destination.
There were two schools of thought. On the one hand Berun, Goll and Brun were of the opinion that the adventurers should walk. Berun and Brun argued that they would gain valuable experience during the hike. Brun was especially eager to test his power against the many undead rumoured to be stalking the surrounding jungle. Goll said; "If we fly, we will draw attention to ourselves, when we should be keeping a low profile. We are, after all, about to head back across the Empire. We don’t want to fa

Tsab Uncovers a Plot
It was a beautiful evening scene. Gul lay on the sand looking at the sun setting over the calm ocean. The orange glow suffused the shoreline and the sun’s rays sparkled playfully on the waves. The sound of the water lapping gently on the beach lulled him into a peaceful reverie. He had recovered himself after his recent bizarre behaviour and he was back in control. All was well. Then something caught his eye. He saw a figure emerging from the sea some distance away and then he was suddenly aware of more and more. They looked like sahuagin, probably out for revenge after the party had stolen the gorgonite horde from under their noses. He placed his hand over the mouth of the maiden lying next to him and put his finger to his lips.
