Mischief, Mayhem, Want, and Woe

Welcome to Mag Mell, a world of monsters and madmen. Meet our hero Chuggie, the embodiment of Drought who is as drunk as the day is long. When, in his rambling, he stumbles upon the remote city of Stagwater, he finds love, temptation, and treachery. He fights against men, demons, and his own preternatural thirst in the battle for the city of Stagwater. But Chuggie? All he wants is a boat.

It's been five days since the Desecration of Stagwater, and our hero has work to do. With the help of some ghostly new cronies, he searches for a lost little boy, explores a new world, and does his drunken best to avoid the clutches of pursuing Steel Jacks. What are the secrets of the bone dagger he carries? What allies and enemies will he find in the wilderness? Where will he get more booze? In the second installment of Mischief, Mayhem, Want, and Woe, Brent Michael Kelley takes us through the Bleeding Gateways to the strange horrors beyond.

Strange winds have blown Norchug mot Losiat, known better as Chuggie, to a world called Glughu. It is a realm of blood and bone where tar pumps like blood, where blood pours like wine, and where wine flows like booze. With the injured blade cultist Fey Voletta - as well as a painted woman named Araza - at his side, Chuggie crosses a tar-filled wilderness to reach the city of An Croi. It's a city filled with fanatical killers in the service of a bloodthirsty master, who has conquered and imprisoned the old gods.
