Fafhrd & the Gray Mouser (Legendary Rank)



Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser (The Circle Curse and The Jewels in the Forest)
Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser leave Lankhmar at the beginning of the vignette The Circle Curse, returning three years later after a series of adventures that take them practically from one end of the world called Nehwon to the other (and then back again). By the time we meet them again at the beginning of The Jewels in the Forest (originally published as Two Sought Adventure as well as being the first published Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser story and the beginning of their adventures proper), they have become living legends. As Leiber wrote:

“The names of the Gray Mouser and the Northerner Fafhrd were not unknown in the lands around Lankhmar – and in proud Lankhmar, too. Their taste for strange adventure, their mysterious comings and goings, and their odd sense of humor were matters that puzzled almost all men alike.” (Leiber, The Jewels in the Forest; emphasis mine).

In other words, in the space of a vignette that equates to a James Bond film’s pre-credits scene or a martial arts movie’s training montage, they have risen from Seasoned to Legendary (and 20 XP beyond)…
