Chubby Wizard: Wrath Of The Manticore

by Bruce Leslie

Some call him the fat wizard, and others call him the portly prestidigitator. His name is Nor, and he prefers to be known as the Chubby Wizard. Along with his steadfast companions Bruce the bard and Kris the Elf-Kin, the Chubby Wizard protects Nydium from the most grave threats. When a manticore threatens the stability of the realm, the heroes set off to stop the foul beast from the Darklands. During their quest the group learns that the Chubby Wizard has unfortunate family ties and keep hearing about a mysterious wager. They run afoul of dwarves, get the cold shoulder from elves, and have to make a risky bargain with a gnome to advance their cause. When they discover the beast that is their adversary is in league with a necromancer, the stakes become much higher than first imagined. Will the odd collection of heroes save the realm or will the Chubby Wizard serve as an oversized snack for the manticore?

About the author

Bruce Leslie is a prolific podcaster and die hard comic book fan. He resides in his West Virginia hideaway and reads, writes, watches movies and annoys thousands of people talking about it at length. He writes fun fantasy stories with humorous elements (well, he thinks they are humorous - you may disagree). He wasted the first half of his life getting a medical degree, but now he is indulging his creative side. Though he doesn't write comic books they are the stories that influenced him the most (Stories like Bone, Skull Kickers and Peter Porker, The Spectacular Spider-Ham). Though he is fully aware that he will never be the next Tolkien, GRRM or Rowling, he believes anything worth doing is worth doing poorly!

The story was okay. The narration was really terrible.
