  • In the Witch's Tent
  • Stardock
  • The Two Best Thieves in Lankhmar
  • The Lords of Quarmall

In the far northern wastes of Nehwon stands the unscaleable peak called Stardock. Demons and evil gods make their home in it's heights, guarding the fabulous treasure hidden there. Undaunted by the enormity of the forces ranged against them, Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser decide to make the treasure their own...

But one adventure leads to another, and the two heroes pledge themselves to plunder the riches of the terror-shrouded kingdom of Quarmall, lair of man's most ancient and evil sorceries. But there they learn that, more often than not, what lies in the end of a quest is not treasure – but treachery!
