Fresh from their encounter at White Plume Mountain, the Justicar and Escalla are on the way to Hommlet. But life around a pixie is never exactly . . . stable. Escalla is drawn into the intrigues of the faerie court. Before he knows it, to save her life the Justicar is on his way into the depts of the earth to fight hobgoblins, drow, and the queen of the demonweb pits.
sucky book I do not think this guy knows much of the systems cuz most of those spells were lame. the story was very slow and not very creative. I stuck it out and read the entire book but its not a book i would ever read again nor would i ever recomend it to anyone.
Da Bomb This was a great book. It gets away from the sappy over-done story lines of a typical fantasy book such as any Forgotten Realms book. The charters are someone you can relate too easily and the humor is wonderful. It is great to read a lighter side of the fantasy world. I do not understand the whining about this book not following the game rules....that is why it is called "fiction". Every fantasy book does not have to be some dark menacing mellow-drama. Good humor and action is hard to find and Paul Kidd is a master of it.
If you've ever gamed... ... then read this book. A tale of a classic role-playing adventure, filled with humor, mystery, magic, sword-fighting, monsters, death, destruction, and yes, love.
If you've ever gamed until the wee hours of the morning, ever sat around a table with others drinking soda and rolling D20's, you'll want this book. Boy, talk about taking a stroll down memory lane! An adventure every gamer wished to experience, that their characters would survive and surmount such challenges.
Get the book - you'll love it!
Really funny I thought the dialogue and characters were hilarious. The murder mystery unfolding, clever magical fights and obsession with Escalla's clothing was great too. Escally, Jus Pol and Enid are very appealing characters.
Excellent fantasy/adventure story! This is book 2 out of 3 (so far). Out of the 3, i loved this one by far the best. I give all 3 books a 5 for sure, but this one was my favorite. The adventuring group gets a little larger. The Justicar and the pixie really start to form a bond. The story really flows well, and you just don't want to put it down. It is very exciting, and fast action-packed page after page. Full of humor to the end, as well. If you've played Dungeons & Dragons and/or played this module, that's even more of a plus. But this book is all out awesome even if you haven't, and just love a good fantasy/adventure book. I definitely recommend reading all 3 books in order though. Check out White Plume Mountain first. :>
