The Monster’s Last Performance adventure cover

A welcome from Master Quill

“An aging performer asks for an escort and insists upon bringing an enormous costume trunk. An ordinary commission, until the luggage begins correcting his stories. I recommend listening to both versions.”

Escort an aging performer to the village that celebrates his greatest victory. Arrange a delicate festival visit, untangle a treasured local legend, and help two old friends decide how their story should end.
