    About this ebook

    Velec, a charming adventurer, skilled in the ways of shadow and dagger.

    Velec and his friends, dusty and hungry, roll into the Sunken Treasure tavern in the port town of Qa-rey. Just the kind of place that overflows with quests and treasure maps, mysterious strangers mumbling arcane prophesy and nobles seeking justice.

    But tonight Velec only wants a beer.

    "Quest for Beer" – a humorous fantasy short story in a richly imagined setting. Gamers, and fans of R.A. Salvatore and Ed Greenwood, don't miss this one! By Stefon Mears, author of Twice Against the Dragon, With a Broken Sword, and the Cavan Oltblood novels.
