The Lure of the Basilisk

QUEST PERILOUS

Garth was promised immortal fame by the Forgotten King – a decrepit ancient, dressed in yellow rags, who huddled over a tavern table in the decaying outpost of Skelleth. But there was a price. Garth must first bring back the creature he would find in the ancient crypts beneath the ensorcelled city of Mormoreth.

To an overman, such as Garth, it seemed a simple task... until he found that the way was beset by invisible bandits... that Mormoreth was ruled by the dreaded enchanter Shang... and that the dweller in the crypts was a basilisk, whose breath was poison, whose touch was deadly and whose gaze turned any living creature to stone!

How does a man – or even an overman – entrap a basilisk? How can he handle it on the long road back to Skelleth? And above all – what possible use has the Forgotten King for a basilisk?
