A Bird in the Hand (BRP)
 |
In Port Grimsand¸ Coynrad Lornnz¸ that infamous trapper of birds¸ has stumbled upon his most exotic specimen yet; the Greater Crested Trill Warbler is a fabulous avian that is unlike any species discovered so far on the mysterious Monster Island. Naturally¸ Scabrous the Usurer¸ a moneylender with an unrivalled private aviary¸ has bought the bird¸ paying handsomely for the privilege. But he is not alone in wanting to possess the Greater Crested Trill Warbler¸ and others covet this seemingly unique specimen. The characters¸ at a loose end in the nefarious alleys of Port Grimsand¸ are hired to liberate the bird from Scabrous¸ and must find a way of making it theirs.
Naturally though¸ not all is as it seems¸ and soon the characters find themselves on a dangerous expedition into the Tane Jungle¸ on a quest to prevent something terrible and powerful from laying waste to all life on the island.
