Gethrun the Rogue

Chest of coins

Tam ran one hand through the pile of coins and gems on the table. All told, the value was more than 25,000 gold pieces worth of treasure. A literal fortune to two simple thieves like themselves, it was more money than he could have put his hands on in three lifetimes on the streets of Neverwinter. But Tam knew that right now it represented something much bigger for the two of them: death.

Dragon by Barret Blake

It had been nearly 10 years since they had appeared. One day, they had been nothing more than fairy tales and legends.

Oh, yes, and dragons. Dragons had returned to the Earth.

dark haired woman

The popup on his screen told him that it was almost time. David closed the alert and turned his attention to the office window.

He then made a show of intently studying a display of flower planters in front of the thrift store. ‘Why did all the crazies seem to find him?’ he thought.
