King Kobold

A MYSTERIOUS INVASION FROM BEYOND SPACE AND TIME Surprise raids are ravaging the kingdom of Gramarye. Longships filled with Vikings wielding the magical, paralyzing Evil Eye plunder, kill, and burn whole villages, then disappear back into the dark seas. But where did this enemy, and their mysterious god-king Kobold, even come from? For Gramarye exists not in the past, but the far future: a lost colony planet that’s reverted to a simple medieval lifestyle… complete with fearing and persecuting the witches and warlocks among them, people born with natural psionic abilities (and the only known espers in the universe). This island kingdom represents the only sentient life on the planet… or so they thought, before the brutal marauders appeared. Rod Gallowglass is an agent of an interplanetary government, stationed on the recently rediscovered Gramarye to protect its precious psionic community, and gradually guide the kingdom toward integration and membership in the galactic union. A modern man of science and technology, the locals mistake him for a powerful warlock (despite his claims he isn’t). Now King Tuan and his subjects look to the “High Warlock” to help them repel the invaders. Can the High Warlock not only drive the barbarians back into the sea, but deduce where they came from, why they’re attacking, and how to end their raids forever? If you’re intrigued by this blend of swords, sorcery, and science, you’ll enjoy reading King Kobold Revived.

Gaius Beldarus has been crowned the regent of the Kobold Kingdom, and his first act is to ensure the livelihood of these peaceful forest-dwellers. Wyatt, knight of House Zigan, vowed vengeance on Gaius for having thwarted his assault against the kobolds by the Ryburgh Adventurers’ Guild. Worse yet, Gaius’s mere presence throws a spanner in the works of the nobles whose machinations may yet determine the future rulers of the Southern Kingdoms. Wyatt has rounded up an army of the worst mercenary thugs money can buy, murderers, thieves, and butchers all; in short, “adventurers.” With these heartless fighters at his back, and armed with dangerous magics, he is determined that the second attack on the kobold village will leave no survivors. Vastly outnumbered, the kobolds can only turn to their new King and his small coterie of devoted followers to lead their people through the oncoming war against them. Blood, sweat, blood, tears, and more blood will be shed in this war for survival.

Gaius Balderus has led a storied life. From humble beginnings, he made a name for himself as fearsome warrior, a renowned general, adviser to kings and paramour to princesses. Gaius’s very presence commands respect and fear, so much so that everyone is too afraid of him to allow him to reveal his softer side. Gaius gives up everything and finds a chance to start again on the frontier of human civilization, where humans and monsters alike scrabble for existence in a hostile forest. When he runs into a tribe of kobolds, small furry creatures who are fleeing from human aggression, they immediately distrust him and everything about him. Can this gentle giant of a man come to peace with his past and win the friendship of the adorable kobolds?

Deep inside his deadly dungeon, the Kobold King laughs maliciously. His monstrous followers raided the nearby village and set his plan for regional conquest in motion. Crown of the Kobold King is a low-level dungeon adventure written by Nicolas Logue that pits the players against a mischievous King of the Kobolds and his noisome minions. A raid on a local village leads to a crumbling monastery riddled with cunning traps and deadly beasts. Will the heroes be the first to survive the Kobold King's dungeon and lay claim to his crown?
