The Contract Bound (Jam-Version)
THE CONTRACT BOUND -- is a linear, fully voiced kinetic-NVL that's a bit audio-book + a bit puppet show + a bit D&D-inspired tomfoolery!
~*~
Our story begins, as all of these seem to do, with a group of a-holes in a tavern, getting drunk...
Out of money and out of time, our party is in search of their next contract to fill their pockets and assuage their growing list of out-of-patience employers. It's all fun and games (and bar fights) until the group crosses paths with the Lazulai, another peeved and dangerous group, who are in search of the same--potentially mythical--artifact.
As they set out to find answers, and clues, the only thing more deadly than their adversaries, may just be their own secrets.
