Just ordered a paperback edition of "Swords and Deviltry"!

The only thing I've read from him thus far is a short story by the name of "The Sadness of the Executioner" from a sword & sorcery anthology called "Flashing Swords #1" that I recently discovered in my Dad's bookshelf. Anyone read that story or have an opinion on how it relates to the rest of his work?

My group just started this as sort of a side quest while restocking in Swampgate and randomly hearing rumors about the short humanoid creatures prowling the outskirts of the settlement. The group decided to spend some coin on carousing after getting quite the haul in the module Tomb of the Serpent Kings which I located underneath Lug Wasteland. One member of the party ended up drunkenly boasting to defeat the menace of the humanoid creatures of the swamp and so they were on their way to the Eastern Farms!

Long story short: they are still investigating the tunnels beneath Dagon's Mound and about to enter the Hyperborean mining complex. One of my players picked up Dagon's Harness and I told him that his character started to immediately become posessive of the suit of armor. What I'm wondering now is where to take things with this cursed armor. Any ideas?

My first gut reaction would be to give him weird dreams where he's lost in an underwater city of strange geometry and architecture when he encounters a fish-like creature that wraps him in its cold embrace filling his character with an intense feeling of love.
