CHAPTER 1: PERIL IN THE DEPTHS!
Argyle, Vayne, & Barrington prevent Kuo-Toa from fulfilling a prophecy and summoning an avatar of Blibdoolpoolp into the world, in a magical temple submerged off the coast of Schiller's Bay. Barrington ravishes the erstwhile sacrifice, Leeane.
MEANWHILE, Memnon, Hugh & Lazlo defeat a small orc tribe that was threatening the town of Melnorm.
CHAPTER 2: A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL
Vayne, Memnon, & Lazlo annihilate an operation that produces faulty magical items in Caldyr (capital city of Caldyrria), thereby gaining the favour of Vorthelmaas, the demon prince who had half-assedly enabled it. They are assisted by Katya "Ghoststep" Springnobble, one of the better cat-burglars in the city.
MEANWHILE, Barrington, Hugh, & Argyle eliminate a small band of forest bandits who were preying on travellers along the main roads -- at their treehouse hideout.
CHAPTER 3: HOME SWEET HOME
Hugh, Memnon, Argyle, & Dorilin defeat the cursed spirit of Mordred, the bloodthirsty warrior founder of the Farnsworth line, who were almost invariably scholarly genteel necromancers. Mordred's curse had corrupted the family estate and put the nearby town of Squinton in jeopardy. All but Hugh were infected with Ghoul Fever.
MEANWHILE, Lazlo, Vayne, & Barrington save Cedric Shellanne, the effete son of a nobleman, from his jealous rivals for the affection of a down-to-earth maiden. Barrington made an attempt on her honour, but she BARELY manages to resist. Several attempts on his life are prevented, both at his family estate and in the city of Caldyr.
CHAPTER 4: A WOLF IN THE FOLD
Argyle, Barrington & Talrin search for travellers' children who went missing in the town of Frimswood, a small forested hamlet on route to Caldyr. Initially worried about cannibal hippies, they slowly discover a cult that worships a wolf spirit of the hunt (who grants them powers similar to lycanthropy). Sylene, a maiden ravished by Barrington, devotes herself to the spirit (and dies for it), but the children are saved. OR ARE THEY?!?!
MEANWHILE, Lazlo, Memnon, and Dorilin go on a sewer adventure in Caldyr! Dorilin gets eaten by a sewer beast which is then dispatched with great gusto by Memnon. Katya the Catburglar came along for some of it.
INTERLUDE: THE SECRETS OF THE HEART
Baron Smythe-Wilkins of the Kingdom of Merrick hires Barrington, Lazlo & Ozrin to escort his extremely hot daughter to the fiancee he's arranged for her, Lord Reginald Sarnwood of the Kingdom of Seldarin. It turns out that Lady Petunia "Tunia" Smythe-Wilkins is incredibly slutty, and they are waylaid by four different suitors who try to elope with her. Barrington misses his opportunity to make a play for her. Along the way, one of the noblewoman's ladies-in-waiting, Marigold Santer, fell for Ozrin's holy zeal and decided to devote herself to good.
MEANWHILE, the Baron neglected to pay the adventurer's guild for services rendered, and thus Memnon, Talrin, and Lazlo were sent to collect. To no one's surprise this involved pillaging his ancestral home utterly and burning it to the ground. His lands were absorbed by a neighboring barony.
CHAPTER 5: DEATH FROM ABOVE 1279
Memnon, Clem, Talrin, and Argyle fend off an invading army of cloud people by destroying their magic beanstalk with the help of two other adventurer's guilds, the "Band of Heroes" based out of Cendrin and the "Clean-Up Crew", a roving group of troubleshooters of indeterminate origin. Memnon almost perished but was saved by the less-than-tender ministrations of Mister Sawbones. Clem became fast friends with the effusive leader of the "Band of Heroes", Tallahassee Wingnut (whose friendliness is indiscriminate). Memnon tried to turn a shell-shocked farm woman into his herald, but failed miserably.
MEANWHILE, Ozrin, Lazlo and Barrington headed to Squinton to protect a caravan of rare items from bandits. They fended off several attacks from orcs, bandits, and ninjas as the caravan made its way to Melnorm, passed through the husk of Frimswood, and finally arrived at Caldyr.
CHAPTER 6: I DON'T NEED YOUR CIVIL WAR
Clem, Barrington and Ozrin were hired by Anna Smith, uptight majordomo of the civil government of the city of Caldyr, to eliminate the city's "dangerous" civil engineers -- who had begun to delve into more occult avenues of research. They captured the engineers rather than killing them, but had to dispose of the engineers' more unstable creations (a gelatinous cube for cleaning sewers and sticky construction mold that had attained sentience). Clem caused serious annoyance to the engineers' resident succubus, Edna, by burning her clothes off, electrocuting her nipple, then blinding her.
MEANWHILE, Memnon and Talrin were sent to deal with some of the bandits who had attacked the caravan protected by their colleagues, specifically a large tough-guy type and a small, fast thief type. The bandits were summarily dispatched.
