Bartram Humblefoot, Paladin of the Ancients, leads a contingent of Mumling regulars into a swampy forest to retrieve a holy artifact from a ruined temple.
Regrettably, the forces of darkness have other plans. War is coming, and the artifact would lend their evil disciples great advantage. The dead are awakened, rising from death to secure the temple and defend the artifact.
In an action-packed adventure of faith and magic, Bartram must help his soldiers survive, retain their sanity, and recover the artifact, or all is lost.
Short Story. Action & Adventure. Magic & Faith.
