Wherever they roam, they encounter magic and monsters and evil that requires taming. This is the first anthology based on characters from the extraordinary novella “The Travelling Players of Gilean”, by Margaret Weis and Aron Eisenberg, which was featured in The Best of Tales, Volume One. This new anthology also features novellas by best-selling Dragonlance authors Douglas Niles, Richard A. Knaak, Paul B. Thompson, and a new collaboration by Jean Rabe and Aron Eisenberg. Contents “Command Performance” by Douglas Niles “Papilla” by Fergus Ryan “Enter, a Ghost” by Paul B. Thompson “Perfect” by Donald J. Bingle “A Matter of Honor” by Richard A. Knaak “Rewrites” by Aron Eisenberg and Jean Rabe Review “Command Performance” by Douglas Niles Duke of Fredirko Axel Bloodwart, Ogre King Starlack, centurion Skullrider Bloden Longeye, chief lieutenant Greenshot, hill giant captain Sebastius Sir Eriath, actor, Vinas Solamnus, clownmaster Stacia Delane, Dame Solamnus, Yolanda the Melon Queen Hatch Blackbeard, dwarf Persnick,elf Strawfellow Slipknot, kender Prince Gracefeather Ballracker, fat hobgoblin, captain, general Orik Oilsniffer, hylar dwarf commander Hilderidge, ogre actor Portentius, pudgy illusionist Splint Fireeater, Hylar This story was a lot of fun and had a wonderful twist at the end. Two massive armies are ready to meet on the battlefield separated by a river featuring an island in the center. One army, led by the Duke of Fredirko and the other is led by the ogre king Axel Bloodwart. Both want to seize control of the island as it is strategically of importance for the battle to come. On the island however, is an acting troupe led by Sebastius. The acting troupe plans their performance for the two armies and secretly plants playbills all around each of the armies encampments. The commanders are justifyingly infuriated by their camps being infiltrated, but their men are intrigued by the opportunity to see a play. So both armies come to the island on the morrow. They are introduced to the performers and sit, slowly being turned onto the performances and becoming more and more entertained. Finally the two commanders are invited onstage and play fight over a daughter. They get into it with the ogre king killing the duke, and the armies ready to go to battle right then and there, until it is revealed only to be a ruse, with a collapsible blade and fake blood. The armies nevertheless are poised for battle, but just then a massive lightning storm strikes, and the armies collectively huddle under the tents and trees, planning on battle the following day. The acting troupe offers the ogre king a position on one of their wagons,and he actually agrees to join, as his heart isn’t in the battle anymore. He ends up joining the troupe at the end. I really enjoyed this, and while I can imagine all the stories being connected to this acting troupe could wear thin quickly as a contrivance, for now, I am looking forward to the next tale. “Papilla” by Fergus Ryan Kaleem Bombyx, shopkeeper Ilona, wife Taladas, first son Nando, second son Livia, daughter Yoni, Darl, rat catchers sons Sebastius This short story begins with a merchant who marries a homely Solamnic woman and bears three children. Two boys and a girl. The girl is having her seventh birthday and her father is showing her off to the local town's Ratchatcher family. The two boys have set up a wonderful prank on the daughter however. When the girl is supposed to come and deliver the goose for dinner, she does a raucous dance the boys taught her and embarrasses their parents. This lands them in trouble naturally, and they are grounded. That night an acting troupe arrives in town, and are getting all set up for the following day's performances. It feels a little like Something Wicked This Way Comes, as the eldest boy, grounded and brooding, wants to run away with the troupe. He climbed down from his window at night and approached Sebastius. He is rejected as he offers him a deal on silk curtains for the play from his father, and unspoken rejection of joining the troupe. The boy returns home in a foul mood, and almost gets crushed by a falling wall. He makes a deal with his brother for not telling on him, and helping him back in the house. When the play begins the following day, the older brother plans a trick on Sebastius, to get back at him. The play begins as a woman is taken from a man by an evil wizard, and the family’s daughter is in the front row. The younger brother starts backing out, and the older brother insists that he help him with the prank. The brothers' plan is to put their sister in a sack and throw her at Sebastian on stage to embarrass them and hurt them. The play unfolds perfectly with this plan as the girl in the tower is met by gully dwarves who want to steal her jewels and they put them in a sack and throw them out as the girls are thrown by the brothers. However, the boys follow suit, falling on stage and end up being taken by the crew. The end of the play is a punishment call from Sebastin to the crowd, and the daughter decides the fate of the brothers. She eventually goes on to live a nice life, her mother leaving her father, and the boys are not heard from, seemingly living out pedestrian lives. The story was all wrapped up by saying brothers don't pick on your sisters, and it was a total waste of my time reading. It wasn’t crafted well, it wasn't written well, and I am glad it's over. “Enter, a Ghost” by Paul B. Thompson Tog, minotaur Andura Thronden, master of ceremonies Urtak Paz, Kender Traz, Kender Sebastius, master of the Traveling Players of Gilean Moku, gully dwarf Gree, centaur Camalantharas, cam, dark elf Tensi Rontz, goblin from Throt Thaelix, male ogre Warken, bardic poet Bannur of Nordling Havared Sisandra, Harvard's daughter Carklin Hall Fitter, gnome, visited lunitari Daskhar, dwarf Telda, Daskhar's wife I really enjoyed this tale. It starts with the Players of Gilean arriving in a town in Nordmaar. The town seems drab and quiet, but as they are setting their stage, Andura, an actress, notices two young men wandering around. They eventually leave and she follows them with Moku an Aghar. They wanted to see if there was a wizard in the troupe because this town is cursed. They need a wizard to use a banishment spell from a scroll they bought from another wizard. The keep, Carklin hall is possessed and while the ghost remains, the town remains cursed. Andura agreed to try and headed up in the night with Moku. They discovered it really was haunted by the former lord of the manor, and only dawn saved them from the ghost. The constable arrested them for disturbing the peace but they were bailed out by Sebastius. They ran through their play that night and the ghost appeared during it. He demanded to know why they were interlopers in his town, and Andura tried to banish him again. Moku used shadow play and voice acting to pose as a great red dragon which initially frightened the ghost, but he ended up leaving for the sake of the town. The village resumed normal life, and the play received a rousing applause. This was a great little horror story that reminded me of Ravenloft. It just goes to show you can tell any style of story in Dragonlance and have it feel genuine. This is the best campaign setting, period. “Perfect” by Donald J. Bingle Crawford, actor Maybar Thane, actor Zefta, mage Sebastius, Astinus' brother? Darna Gantry Fornarius Mirinda Benoit Katrice Gilf Aaron Badar Patentworthy Pathwanderer, gnome Cathar Bellowstroke, dwarf Gloria Taewynd This is a story with three main parts. First is the acting troupe and the tension between Sebastius and their wizard slash set maker Zefta. Second is a young woman who was spurned in love, but left pregnant who runs off with her fathers tailor to join the troupe, and third is a pompous Solamnic, former knight, planning his wedding and hiring the troupe to perform a tiresome and ostentatious play at his wedding. Once the wedding play began, the audience was bored to death. They had lived the measure and been paralysed by it in training for years, watching it now was a chore, but as this was a wedding they were stuck. But then one new actor slipped and accidentally flipped a steel coin, and from that moment on, steel was the operative word and item as the play went off the rails, and the mage exercised his craft to wonderful effect. It even turned the stern groom into an enjoying participant. When the wedding vows were read, he romantically dipped her in a passionate kiss, echoed of course by the troupe. The audience loved it and cheered uproariously. The groom paid very well for the performance, and the story of the runaways was completely abandoned. The troupe left after the groom admitted to Sebastius that he wasn't a Solamnic, but it didn't matter anymore. With the conclusion to the story being infinitely better than the set up, I am glad to move on as well. “A Matter of Honor” by Richard A. Knaak Golar the God-Marked, minotaur Heston, human Sebastius Twayne, half-elf Karas of clan Barash, minotaur Dardella Juris, Golar's cousin Well hell, this story touched me. It’s about a minotaur named Golar who fled from a failed battle in the War of the Lance and eventually joined the troupe. He found peace and happiness as almost an ambassador of the minotaur race to viewers, but one day he notices a cloaked figure showing up to his appearances. It ended up being his cousin’s son, Karas, coming to avenge the loss of honor his fleeing the battlefield caused his clan. Golar knocked the youth out, and put him in the woods outside town. They went to the next town for another show, and the youth followed, attacking golar in the play. He sliced his stomach, and the troupe convinced Karas that he had died. They gave him his axe and he rode away. He returned to watch the funeral only to see that Golar was alive. Golar admitted that while he was a member of the troupe he would not age, nor could he die. He showed Karas by running himself through. This led Karas to leave, dispirited at being able to avenge his clan’s honor, and decided to take his own life for his failure, very Samourai in nature. Golar showed up and let Karas know he was there when Karas couldn't go through with it. Karas, now shamed, threw his dagger at Golar and it sank into his chest. Golar gave up his part of the troupe because he couldn't live with his relatives’ death on his hands. He would rather die and let his clan regain their honor than live knowing Karas died because of him. He took the body home and that was the end of the story. As a fan of fantasy, I can’t help but appreciate stories like this. Honor is a complicated mistress that many cultures in our world wrestle with, but I can't accept that one should kill themself or others just to keep a title that amounts to nothing more than a perceived value in the eyes of the beholder. It was a beautiful story by Knaak. “Rewrites” by Aron Eisenberg and Jean Rabe Thronden Blackmoor, Actor, Solamnic Knight Aleena, Actor, Dark Knight Jalas Sebastius Heart, Goblin Catal This final tale is a version of Romeo and Juliet with a new director and writer, traditionally an actor, rewriting the play til the very day it was performed. The insistence on his vision made Sebastius abandon the play, insisting it should be directed by the writer. The other members of the Troupe insisted that there should be some humor, but the writer refused, insisting that it is a drama. As word spread about the play, every nearby town wanted to attend, and a contingent of dark knights learned of it. At the heart of the story is a Knight of Solamnia falling in love with a Knight of Takhisis. The commander of the Dark Knights could not allow this to happen, so he sent his emissary to stop the play. When the director refused, the Dark Knights mounted up to intercept the play mid performance. When they arrived, many of the villagers fled, but equally many stayed. The director insisted they start the play from act one and give the Dark Knights a show, as they all sat down to watch. The tension caused some of the actors to miss lines, or otherwise make small humorous mistakes, which drew enjoyment from the viewers, and when the female dark knight in the play killed the male Solamnic then herself, everyone gave a standing ovation. The Dark Knight commander met the director backstage to say it was an improbable love story, but he had once loved a woman, and with tat left. The writer/director began furiously rewriting the play to add some humor. This was a fun tale, as I am a fan of Shakespear, but I am very glad this collection is done. It was tiring to get through, and while many of the stories were enjoyable, like this one, i did want to get through it. If you are a fan of Dragonlance, I suggest you give this anthology a read, especially if you enjoy the Players of Gilean premise. Otherwise, it does nothing to inform the saga in any way, so if you don't enjoy the troupe, you can skip the anthology and miss out on nothing.

Why do people get scared and how? We ask Dr. Margee Kerr, a scientist who studies the science of fear. She once set up a basement lab in a Halloween haunted house to understand why people sign up to get scared. She found out that going to a house of horror is actually a lot like doing yoga! Find out why, and how to scare a scientist. Correction: On this episode, we referred to the woman in Sebastin's recording as his mom. She is his step-mom.
