Best Laid Plans and A Fistful of Rubies

Summary

Best Laid Plans: Did you hear the one about the thief and the sorcerer who went to rob a senator? No, of course you didn’t, it’s a dull tale hardly worth recounting. Ah. But what happened after, now that is a story. After being most unfairly swived and abandoned in the wilds, Breed Blake stumbles upon a barbarian who is also having a very bad day. It turns out when the great oaf isn’t being attacked by bandits, he’s on a mission to save a damsel in distress who is being held somewhere in the doom haunted Scathblight Mountains. Due to playing and almost losing a lethal game of hide-and-seek with a platoon of imperial soldiers, Breed has a little time to kill and a pair of blades just in case anything more tangible needs inhuming...for a price. A bargain is struck, gold is promised and trouble ensues. Grab a mug of ale, pull up a stool and I’ll tell you all about it. Dark, grim and wickedly funny, The Best Laid Plans is an anarchic, baroque and roll introduction to the award-shortlisted The Chronicles of Breed. 'A Fistful of Rubies': Mother wants an errand running. How difficult can it be to walk to the docks, make a trade and come back again? What could possibly go wrong? Listen to 'A Fistful of Rubies' and see just how bad a day Breed can have.
