Summary
Archmage, Warmage, Firebringer, Dark Hand of the Cerberus Assembly: Caleb Widogast was not ignorant of his role in all this.
The Empire is nearly ten years deep into a seemingly endless Xhorhasian war, each lull in the violence leading to greater and deadlier escalation. So when the Empire initiated negotiations with the Revelry - a quiet endeavour designed the starve Xhorhas into submission, but an unlikely scheme in Caleb’s eyes - it was perhaps justifiable wartime desperation, he reasoned. Unjustifiable however was Caleb’s assignment to lead these negotiations, distracting from his work rooting out more dire threats to peace, perhaps from within the Empire’s own ranks. And this Captain sent to represent the Revelry, Fjord? He was one particular distraction that Caleb could not afford.
An Archmage, a Cobalt Expositor, a spy, three pirates and their Captain with a demigod patron that has plans for all of them find themselves in Zadash to end a war. And Caleb can’t be sure which side he’s on in more than one game of cat and mouse.

Summary
As the moon rises above the treeline, Taako smells the distinctive scent of big magic—ozone, hanging thick in the air. The bird unfurls its wings, growing larger and shifting before Taako’s eyes until it's no longer a bird at all, but the most handsome man Taako’s ever seen.
He’s dark-skinned, with long dreadlocks that tumble down over his shoulders, dressed in a fine suit that’s years out of date, but perfectly preserved. His cheekbones are high and his gaze is sharp. He studies Taako and Magnus from the other side of the thorn bush, and tilts his head, considering them. “You’re a long way from home,” the man says. “Didn't anyone warn you about the dangers lurking in the Felicity Wilds after the sun goes down?”

Summary
Echoes of the seven of them stretch into infinity, and now there’s Kravitz, a parallel line that they keep crossing despite all physical laws. Taako can see how they are bound together, he and Lup and the rest of the crew, white shimmering cords that stretch between them, between himself and Kravitz, and every aspect of Kravitz and every aspect of the Raven Queen in every world, all existing simultaneously. The Light falling to countless worlds at once, the Hunger descending over it all, the same patterns into infinity and nothing to stop it except for a silver ship, a bright beacon, unique among it all. He can see all of it.
--
They’re hunted by two immensely powerful creatures now, the Hunger and the Raven Queen’s servant. It's too bad Taako can't seem to stay out of harm's way.

Summary
When Kravitz signed up for the job in Phandalin, he didn’t expect adventuring to become his life. He was bored playing for the well-to-do of Neverwinter, sure, but not this bored. He was supposed to make some quick cash, pay off his gambling debts, and go back to his comfortable existence as a bard. He wasn't supposed to join a secret organization trying to save the world.
But here he is, paralyzed on the floor of a crystallized laboratory, and he has yet to keep a suit intact through a single adventure.

Summary
He turns the laptop screen towards Derek, displaying one of the more interesting links Google had provided for 'demon'. The background of the homepage is fire, and it has a huge animation of a gnarly-looking demon blowing fire out of its mouth and wielding a sword. “That’s what I am,” he laughs, pointing at the screen, “Although I must say, this is pretty insulting. As you can see, I am much better-looking than whatever the fuck that thing is. Also that is some fucking weak ass shit as far as fire-breathing goes. And why the fuck would I need a sword? I’m a fucking demon,” he huffs, then shakes his head. “Would you consider this cultural appropriation?” He raises his eyebrows expectantly, waiting for Derek’s answer.
“How did – I – you’re – is being a demon a culture?” Derek blurts.

Summary
“Your father has sent me a message, you know,” King Bittle mused, pacing in front of Jack, who was held down by two guards even though he wasn't struggling. “He knows the ancient laws of all our lands, and he knows that your surrender means he has lost the war. He asks only that I send you back to him. I told him that he knows that your surrender means you belong to me now, body, mind, and soul. I own you now, and I am not going to send you back to your kingdom.” The king stopped in front of Jack and crouched down, grabbing his chin roughly and making him look into his eyes.
“My son Eric is going to come of age soon. It will be a grand ceremony, and you would be the perfect present for him."

Summary
“You didn't have a backup plan if Shitty didn't take you back?” asks Jack, disbelieving.
“No,” she says, halfway between laughing and crying. “I could always go home.”
She doesn’t want to go home. She doesn’t want to hear about how an art degree never got anyone anywhere, she doesn’t want to hear her father talk about her brother getting his diploma a year earlier than planned.
“You could,” she hears the hesitancy in Jack’s voice and opens her eyes to stare at him. “You could live with me.”
Lardo’s eyes nearly bug out of her head. “You want me to live with you?”
Jack looks away, almost shy. “Yeah.”
“So, me?” she says, for clarification. “Not Bitty, me?”
or: the year that Lardo lives in Jack's massive NHL bachelor pad and accidentally fixes both of their lives.
or: Lardo and Jack and the road to redemption.
