ToECS Book Two and a Half: The Winds of the Ultacraggoths
A brief story focusing on the misadventures of the Yam-Eaters of the The Ultracraggoths, who in an attempt to make evil Epic-ly Spicy Yam au Gratin employ the help of a band of clever Ssskssenek smugglers. In a secret arrangement made on a distant peak in The Smoos, Yam-Eater Ulstin Hopwee negotiates the plot to procure DragonPepper Colby-Jack Inferno Cheese in large quantities from Tritificus Bellicosum, a town in on the Westrenn Coast of The Sickle.
Weeks pass and soon word comes from lookouts that the Ssskssenek are returning with packs of cheeses on their packs and blocks of cheeses on their oxcarts. They are allowed to approach the Yam-Eaters' encampment high in the Ultracraggoths, but promises that were made for warms scarves for Ssskssenek (two apiece) in return for their labor were not to be. The Yam-Eaters betray both the smugglers and Ulstin Hopwee as the delivery is completed. The escape-crushing rockslide could not have been anything other than an accident, and then a thrilling chase down the length of the Ultacraggoths, from north to south, ensues.
At the climax of the story, the pursuers are caught by a blast of wind and blown into Vadime Bay by one of the sudden and violent storms so common in that area.
