Bard's First Rule: Sing of Heroes. Do not become one.
Eleutherius "Les" Crestwell is in no danger of breaking that rule. After escaping the Bardic Academy in the wake of a cheating scandal (not his fault) Les and his prankser lute "Mischief" cheerfully take to the road for a life of wine, wooing and song. And all is going well. Until scaling a tower to cash in on a lucrative wig-making opportunity lands Les pants-less in a goblin dungeon.
At least he's making friends. More or less. An ice-wielding dwarven sorceress. A half-elf who controls shadows. A nine-foot scalemaw healer (which is about as weird as it sounds). Worse, they're all awfully heroic. Especially the paladin in his ever-shiny armor.
But to get out of this alive, Les will have to work with them. Even if that means tromping around the dungeon to rescue a village of missing children from an evil warlock. The same jealous warlock who just sent Les straight to the stewpot in the first place.
That sort of sounds like heroes' work.
Uh-oh.
Enjoy a fun-filled romp through a D&D inspired setting full of unexpected twists through a dungeon with goblins galore, action, comedy, and a cast of misfit heroes (plus one reluctant bard) who get the job done. Come for the jokes. Stay for the insanity!
