Kids on Bikes #9: Return to Saber-Tooth Cave

Having no success locating Benny or Maria back at camp, the boys return to the set of footprints, tracking them deeper into the woods.

Kids on Bikes #7: Welcome to Owl Camp

It’s summertime in Jupiter Springs, and for Dickey Newton and Plunger, that means it’s time once again for Owl Camp.

When bedtime finally comes, fresh from sharing scary stories around the campfire, they realize something is wrong. Someone is missing.

Knave #4: The Fifth Direction

Springing into the air, Squirg, Jubal, and Mae Mae make it to the top of the skinny butte in the Busted Lands, where the anchorite is said to live. The man they meet, however, is not who they expected, but he does offer help. With a magical cube, the three hearthlings seemingly have the power to teleport anywhere they wish, which takes them all the way to the heart of the hobgoth citadel as well as the beaches of the Sea of Gas. It’s there, deep under the center of the sea, that they must test their mettle and finish out their mission.
 

Knave #3: Spell Swap

Entering the town of Sour Hull, Squirg and Jubal’s first stop is to a tavern for a hot meal and important info, particularly concerning the anchorite they’d heard about from the town’s refugees. Next, they patronize the shop next door, where spells are exchanged, and soon after, finally find out what’s in Zar Narwal’s box. This leads to a confrontation with hobgoths who have overtaken the town, and a new spell comes in handy just when the adventurers need it most.

Knave #2: Octopussy

After Jubal receives a fitting punishment for failing to control his curiosity, he and Squirg are provided a wagon powered by a wind elemental and sent on their way with an enigmatic box to be dumped in the Sea of Gas. Eventually the road takes them out of the Neon Forest, though different regions, and into a dark tunnel. Blocking their way to the other side is a giant pit, but even more troublesome is the creature that lives in the pit.

Knave #1: Bear Rabbit

In the world of Dearth, refugees Squirg Fallowshins and Jubal Tryx are fleeing their homeland and traveling south under the dying red sun to the city of Serus Arx. Along the road, they encounter odd peddlers and a vicious monster from underground. A fierce battle ensues, and the victors continue on their way, only to be accosted by more monsters, even nastier than the last. Injured and outnumbered, the adventurers retreat to the home of the wizard Zar Narwal, who promptly gives them a mysterious yet lucrative new quest.
