The Quest for the Thunderstone: A Nath Dragon Adventure

The quest for power is often fatal ...

Nath Dragon and Brenwar the dwarf are dispatched by Bayzog the part-elf wizard to track down a brood of lizardmen that have stolen one of the all-powerful Thunderstones. Armed with skill and wit, magic swords and warhammers, the dynamic pair find themselves in a battle for their very lives in the deep forests of Nalzambor where they encounter an ancient destructive evil they never would have anticipated.
