Mishap's Heroes

Vola might be new to this whole adventuring thing, but she’s pretty sure this isn’t how you’re supposed to save the day. No one at her academy wanted an orc as a paladin, so they’ve sent her to the back end of a swamp, hoping she’ll never find a quest good enough to earn her shield. Well, screw that. Vola’s got divine help, and even a laughingstock of a goddess can do some righteous smiting.

Vola, Sorrel, and the others have managed to bring down Lord Arthorel, their first big bad guy, but unfortunately, they didn’t get paid. That’s what happens when you arrest your employer. They need some fast cash if they’re going to track down the slaver Lord Arthorel was selling his people to. But the adventuring scene in Brisbene is a lot more crowded than the swamp, and they’re stuck with the leftover jobs no one else wanted. Picking flowers and exterminating rodents isn’t paying the bills.

Now that they have an employer - one who is a princess, no less - Mishap's Heroes can look forward to a nice, steady gig smack in the middle of the most civilized city in Southglen. No more running around, scrambling after petty villains. Or so they thought. Vola and the others barely make it to the city before they learn there's treason afoot, and as the Dagger Throne's new problem-solvers, Mishap's Heroes had better come up with a plan quick, before enemies of the Throne take a bite out of the princess's power. Unfortunately, it's not just traitors they have to worry about.

Vola screwed up. Big time. Thanks to her mistakes during the coup, she's been stripped of her shield and labeled a black paladin, an oathbreaker. But who is she without her shield? The only place she can think to retreat to is the last place she ever wanted to go. Home. Now she's got to find a job in her hometown with her loving and highly supportive parents breathing down her neck, while her party tracks her down and refuses to accept her resignation. The only thing that could make it all better is a chance to bag the bad guy who was responsible for her mistake during the coup.

Vola, Talon, and the others may have gotten rid of Inga, but there's an even bigger bad guy out there stealing magic out of the land and its people. Luckily, the Dagger Princess has a lead, and now the team's headed to Firewatch, home of the great slumbering dragons. Just like the one that killed Talon's pack so long ago. However, that's going to be harder than usual. Someone is draining the magic out of the land itself, leaving dead spots in the desert. Maybe a big bad someone. Can Vola, Talon, and the others track down the magic thief before whoever it is wakes the dragons?

Vola, Sorrel, Lillie, and Talon know their enemy now. And it's time to take the fight to Anders. But they're going to need some help if they're going to keep him from sucking all the magic out of the world. This is a war for everyone. But why would anyone work together when they can fight among themselves? Vola has her work cut out for her to keep the peace between all their allies when no one wants to listen to a black paladin. And the worst culprits are the gods.
