Basiliska

Game Overview & History

Cecily, sorceress, ex-convict, and shopkeeper extraordinaire, receives a summons delivered to her door by none other than Orson, the resident magical government representative. In a desperate attempt to avoid talking to people she doesn’t like, she hatches a plan with the local pariah to keep her where she is.

Not that said local pariah is aware of this. Or that Cecily necessarily goes through with the plan.
