The King's Tournament

Ever since the King's wife and daughter were murdered by goblins, Windcastle had become a less enchanted place to live. Elves, centaurs, fairies and all other non-human denizens had been exiled, and the strength of the military have become the sole priority of the crown. Hope for peace shines when the King announces a grand tournament to celebrate the end of hostilities with neighboring countries. Eight contenders will be randomly chosen to participate. Nobles, aristocrats, peasants, non-humans, lunatics and murderers are all welcome to volunteer. The winner will be granted a fortune in gold, a royal pardon for all past crimes, and a seat on the royal court. Naturally, this attracts the greedy, the desperate and the lost. But there is a hidden agenda to this tournament, manipulated by the very evil that destroyed the King's family. A rogue, a gorgon, a lusty centaur woman, a barbarian, a deformed lunatic, a professional henchman, a disgraced aristocrat and a beautiful slave girl will have to survive traps, surprises and each other to solve this mystery before an entire kingdom is incinerated...and they only have three days to do it.
