Plot

The Fafhrd and Gray Mouser stories concern the lives of two larcenous but likable rogues as they adventure across the fantasy world of Nehwon. The stories in Two Sought Adventure collect a miscellaneous series of adventures from their wanderings, including a quest for treasure in a dwelling with unique defenses ("The Jewels in the Forest"), a bout with the Thieves' Guild of Lankhmar ("Thieves' House"), an ensorcelled journey to a far-away land ("The Bleak Shore"), an encounter with a beast-haunted stranger ("The Howling Tower"), a dangerous visit to their world's equivalent of Atlantis ("The Sunken Land"), a conflict with a murderous priesthood ("The Seven Black Priests"), and a magical plague afflicting Lankhmar ("Claws from the Night").

Reception

Galaxy Science Fiction called Two Sought Adventure's stories "guaranteed nostalgia evokers ... improbably wonderful adventures".^[2]
