Last Night at the Jolly Chicken (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781951445454)

Years ago, a fiery-tempered runecrafter painted an imp named Ild onto a playing card to tell the future for her and be her companion. But the future-telling thing never really worked out, and after some smoldering resentments on both sides led to unkind words, Ild found himself discarded in a desk drawer, while his creator went and got herself murdered.

Now, enraged over her abandonment of him, Ild the imp is out for revenge.

With the aid of Atli, a battle-scarred veteran troll, Ild is mystically collecting heroes from across the universes to find the one capable of recovering his creator from the Undergates, so that he can kill her properly and send her back there himself.

Or people who consider themselves heroes, anyway. No magic spell is perfect.

The "heroes" converge on the Jolly Chicken tavern to tell their stories. Those judged worthy will be sent to hell, while the unworthy will be killed.

Unless someone can change the rules of the Last Night at the Jolly Chicken.

A hilarious collection of short stories introducing the six new series of the Misplaced Adventures, a funny and irreverent shared fantasy universe based on the world of the Misplaced Mercenaries books. It all starts here!
