The Elf Maiden & The Bard

By Rich Richardson

When a Roy the Dark-Hearted, a charismatic but self-centered and greedy bard, hears about a grand adventure of earth-shattering proportions, he signs on to get a piece of the profits. His fellow adventurers Melixa the witch, Carol the Warrior and Fork the orc may not be happy about it, but they can't deny that his charisma helped land them the gig.

However, he may quickly find that he has bitten off more than he can handle, as this grand adventure comes with life or death stakes.

Rich Richardson

Rich Richardson is a writer and internet personality who began writing at the tender age of twelve, hoisting stories about sci-fi heroes and heroines in front of his family and friends.His body of work ranges from high concept fantasy to down to earth fiction, but he considers himself a specialist in character drama above all. To him, a setting can only be as interesting as the people living in it.Often taking inspiration from his day to day life, the protagonist of "The Elf & The Bard" is actually based off of a D&D character he used, shortly before being ejected from the game in real life for his drunken antics.
