Deep within a dark jungle, beneath a silent web-choked shrine, a miracle lives in captivity. When the Spider Queen sent a sacred Golden Brood as a single living covenant to her faithful, it was meant to be honored as a divine sign. Instead, one sinister priestess chose power over devotion and shackled the holy emissary in heavy iron chains, forcing it to lay its eggs in captivity. Each hatchling is slaughtered and its venom harvested, dried, and burned within ornate hookahs of obsidian and bone. The smoke brings calm. Clarity. And something far more dangerous\u2014control. Banished as a heretic, the Hookah Priestess spreads her doctrine of perfumed obedience as her following grows and her dominion spreads in silent submission. A desperate band of brash and slightly foolish adventurers has been assembled to explore the shrine, free the enslaved, shatter the chains and bring a final end to the Heresy of the Hookah Priestess!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

AUTHORS NOTE:<\/p>\n

The Spider Queen\u2019s web continues to expand. One evening, after a long, grueling, backbreaking day of hack module writing at my computer desk, I closed my eyes and quickly drifted into a strange dream. I found myself deep within a jungle shrine. I felt a sharp sting on my wrist and looked down to find a golden spider disappearing into the darkness. Before I could react, a mysterious, beautiful, and voluptuous priestess with long flowing luxurious black hair\u2014almost butt naked, wearing only a skimpy green plant-laden bikini\u2014emerged barefoot from the shadows carrying an ornate obsidian hookah. Our eyes locked like a tractor beam as she beckoned by blowing me a kiss. Against my better judgment, I accepted immediately of course… Within like a microsecond, my friends. I know all of YOU would certainly would have better restraint than me, but I digress! The smoke was cool and sweet. My thoughts became unnaturally clear. Images flooded my mind: her beautiful eyes… a miracle in chains… her beautiful face… golden eggs… her beautiful figure… iron shackles… and yes, those beautiful boobs. Hubba hubba! The priestess smelled incredible with an irresistible perfume. One thing led to another, and nature took its course. Before long, I found myself thoroughly distracted. Wearing only my birthday suit? WTF? Mind, body, and soul, we became one. Funny… only a minute seemed to have passed and she was gone. The shrine and jungle had vanished. I was alone at my desk staring at an email and a blinking cursor with a title echoing in my head: Heresy of the Hookah Priestess. At that point, I said to myself, \u201cSon of a\u2014! It was bad enough being the first entry in Lady Belladora\u2019s Book of Lace and now this?\u201d (SEE: Dark Wizard Games – Final Encounters #5: Mistress of the Parlor of Leather and Lace). Yet another beautiful woman led me to sin. Oh well, all I can say is \u201cOopsie!\u201d The rest of the adventure practically wrote itself. Whether it was merely a dream, the lingering effects of an overactive imagination or that I had smoked too much Highbottom Leaf that day one cannot say. What I do know is that by the end of the day, Melindra, the Golden Brood, and the web-choked shrine all had a life of their own. I hope
\nyou enjoy unraveling this particular thread.<\/p>\n
