A Family Meal

Trey
Sitting alone on the dock along the harbor of Manfredonia, Trey sighed contentedly and watched the activity of the ships coming and going, longshoremen and stevedores loading and unloading cargo from faraway ports, and just the general chaotic mayhem of a city that was both vibrant and hardworking.

The Flaming Frog Inn
Thin Lizzie took pride in keeping her tavern as clean as possible and that was especially true of the long glossy smooth bar.

Jugarthy sat on his porch and listened to the brewing cauldron inside of his small, rickety shop. He didn't have the money for putting fancy glass in his windows, so the open windows allowed the free passage of air to flow in and out of the shop. Inside the shop Jugarthy had set up a … Continue reading Sauerkraut & the Devil
The Captain’s Secrets
Captain Zucco was well pleased to once more be at port in the drowsy city of Manfredonia. This place wasn't where Zucco had been born and raised, and he hadn't spent all that much time here or even in this part of the Forkanzan peninsula prior to ten years ago or so. His hometown was … Continue reading The Captain’s Secrets
