“If you’re looking for the Bass Kickers, they rode off toward Awesome City, that new player town they co-founded with my guild.” He pointed to the west.
“Not them,” Olaf cried frantically. “Clewd. Where is Clewd?”
The healer laughed. “That loon? Please don’t tell me you bought any of his ‘investment packages’. I fell for that when I was a newb. A hundred gold and all I got was some stale cheese.”
Olaf grabbed the healer’s green tabard. “WHERE DID HE GO?”
“Sorry, man. He said he was going to work on a big stream in ‘The Golden Hole.’”
Alizia snickered.
“WHERE IS THE GOLDEN HOLE?” Olaf shook him harder.
“To the east, but you’d have to be crazy to go there now. The Shadow controls the area around it.”
“Then that’s where we go,” I said. “To the Golden Hole.”
END
Who or what really is Clewd? Will our plucky heroes get to him in time to get the answers Olaf needs? How does a Reaper sneeze without a nose?
Find the answers to these questions and more in the continuing saga of Sun & Shadows Online. But how will I know when the next book is released, you probably didn’t ask?
