In Part 8, the trio trekked deeper inland towards the Portal. Despite the morningside time of day, the journey grew darker, forcing Phrixus to light the way with his alchemy. While travelling, conjecture over the owner of the unexpected footprints led the group to entertain the possibility the prints may have belonged to Garret's uncle, Melchior. Much like Garret, Melchior undertook the family mission to keep the portal secure, but something occurred which caused Melchior to go supposedly mad. This incident caused mentions of him to be removed from discussion and the Westdown family history. This discussion led to the revelation that Garret's banishment occurred because of his dogged pursuit of the truth behind his uncle's own banishment.
The trio finally reaches Portal and is set to begin the ritual, when a pounding noise from the other side freezes them in their tracks. A muffled shout also from behind the sealed gates implies that it is Garret's uncle Melchior. Before they can even respond, a figure moves into the glow of the area around the Portal.
Living forever sounds like a gift, but have you ever thought about the down sides. The main character in this week's story knows them first hand. Join him on the first day of a new year as he prepares for a new life.

This bonus chapter is a little writing nugget from Chris' past. It's the very first story he ever wrote when he was 10 years old. Growing up in the Star Wars age, Chris was heavily influenced by the original trilogy and all the associated sci-fi that was around at the time. This story was written in 1978. Below are the individual pages, complete with images! So maybe this makes it less of a book and more of a graphic novel?
In Part 7, Garret's ship, captained by Chandra, left the wild and wooly port town of Camp Trollblood heading west toward their final destination - the portal. It became apparent that Chandra and Garret had a fling in the not-to-distant past. Chandra hoped to rekindle their passions, but Garret sidelined her, citing his duty and the cramped confines of the ship as his main reasons.
In this week's story an accountant makes a trip to a distant space station that he once visited as a child. The station does not quite live up to the nostalgia he has built up for it.

In Part 6, Garret and Phrixus made their way through the rough and tumble port town known as Camp Trollblood. They were in search of the sailing vessel owned by Garret and its captain, Chandra. They found the captain, and her crew in the midst of escaping from the angry pursuit of another group of sailors. Chandra displayed some of her own mystique by revealing a magical flaming blade, and a living tattoo of a dragon on her skin. Using said magic, Chandra and her crew were able to escape to her ship, having a surprising reunion with Garret and Phrixus in the process. The trio, along with Chandra's crew, hurriedly left port and made their way out on the open sea.

Leaving the tower, the pair made a detour to the town of Camp Trollblood. On this journey, Phrixus revealed the accident which led to his red-pupiled eyes. Garret returned the favor by explaining the unsolved mystery behind his bleeding nose. In the town, the pair hope to find a safer journey to the Portal Garret is sworn to protect and keep sealed. Garret is convinced he knows someone in the town who can help them reach the portal safely and sooner, hopefully using the ship that Garret revealed he is the proud owner of.

In Part 4, Phrixus journeyed through a vision of temptation provided to him by the spirit of the dead and disgraced paladin Lenore Drache. The alchemist struggled to return to reality as he considered reuniting with a former lover. It wasn't until cries from the outside world, and a series of mixed thoughts gave Phrixus the strength to break from his dreams, returning to reality. There he was able to collect blood from the weeping spirit, while Garret struggled to overcome undead captors, under the unholy paladin's control. In the battle's confusion, Phrixus lost sight of Garret, only to turn and find the remaining undead closing in on him.

In Part 3, In the pouring rain, Garret and Phrixus finally arrived at the Tower of the Fallen Paladin, the last resting place of Lenore Drache. Once a holy warrior dedicated to assisting Garret's family in their own sacred oath, the paladin succumbed to temptations that assailed her. In a last ditch effort to serve her vows, despite falling from grace, she ended her own life, and now haunts her former home, constantly bleeding to fulfill her oath of supplying several drops of blood to Garret's family and their mission, but also tempting those who might dare enter.
Garret warned Phreixus of the temptations he may face, as well as alluding to the fact that he nearly succumbed to his own temptations in his last visit.
The pair entered the tower, searching for the ghostly warrior, to complete a portion of the ritual Garret needs to help keep a mysterious portal closed. They find evidence that someone was in the tower recently, and the possibility they have met an unfortunate end.

Before they can even truly begin, they must journey to a place known as the Tower of the Fallen Paladin, where the soul of a corrupted warrior now resides. Garret has been here once before, and faced great temptation…

Intro and Outtro music is "Fantasy Motion" by Alexander Nakarada
In part one, we learned about Garret Westdown, the son banished from his wealthy and influential family for being too curious about certain aspects of his family’s history. Garret now wiles away his time in the inn of a family friend, drinking for free and concocting false tales about the other patrons. His musings are interrupted by his father, confessing the need for Garret to fulfil the family’s sacred obligation of being a protector of a portal to another realm. Garret’s older sister, Helen, has fallen ill after an unplanned pregnancy, leaving Garret the sole family member able to complete the mission. Despite his resentment towards his parents for his banishment, Garret agrees to the important mission. His father does not send him alone, however. Part one ends with Garret meeting Phrixus.
Here is the first terrain card used to show where our heroes are coming from. The red 'X' indicates the direction Garret and Phrixus are coming from. It's important to note that this card in the actual Hex Dek deck has been slightly altered. I essentially inverted the hex tiles from the original cards. Again, thanks to Phillip Reed Games for these escellent cards.

In our previous entry, taking the advice of the enigmatic and mysterious madam, K, Maevis and Eli began the journey to take the young girl home. Home to a mansion on the hill, where Maevis’ mother is believed to be a demonspawn beast known as a Botiskin. The pair began the lonely trek, with Eli doing his best to calm the nerves of the child. Upon reaching the house, Eli took care to approach in darkness, ignoring the lit path to the door. As storm clouds gathered in the west, replacing the setting sun, the door to the mansion opened.
In our previous entry, Maevis and Eli met with the enigmatic and mysterious K. Just the letter, not the full name. Eli pleaded with K to keep the young Maevis hidden in K’s brothel, but in an unexpected twist, K refused, instead telling Eli that K needs to bring the girl home to her mother - who is suspected of being able to transform into a beast known as a Botiskin. A beast that may have bitten young Maevis. Now the gunslinger faces a tough decision: Does he go and face the threat of what Maevis’ mother may be, or does he find a different solution?
This week's story is a tale of terror, a tale of mystery, and a tale of you.

Known only as “Doc,” the being confirmed that the bites may have come from a Botiskin, a term used to describe the offspring of a human and demon. Faced with this news, Eli must now decide if he wants to accept Maevis’ offer to hire him to kill his mother.
