About Heroes and Fools

A submarine trip to an island of ghosts. A band of fugitive actors. A deadly draconian who has had too much holiday punch. And veritable onslaught of dryads, shadow wights, and that rarest of all monsters, the dread forest boojum.

Also, from the team of Margaret Weis and Don Perrin, the latest adventure of Kang and his wayward troop of draconians.

In the proud tradition of the best-selling Dragonlance anthologies, Heroes and Fools promises a sometimes heroic -- sometimes foolish -- visit to the world of Krynn.

Review
Boojum, Boojum by Janet Pack
This was a fun way to start the anthology. We are introduced by a squad of Dark Knights led by Commander Khedriss Mennarling. They are needing to test out their new Death Machine, a cannon, and hear about a local monster called the Boojum from a drunk Thistleknot Tangletoe, the kender. A local in their ranks, Realthas, confirms this monster is a tale that is supposedly living in the area. The Dark Knights take the kender with his maps and search for the creature to test their Death machine on. They get to where it should live and are confronted with the Boojum which is really the Solamnic Knight friend of the kender’s in disguise. He eventually steps down after seeing the damage the cannon does and confronts them to fight. That is when the real Boojum approaches and starts taunting them and killing them one at a time, even destroying the cannon’s wheel. Some Dark Knights run off, as the Boojum faces off against the Solamnic Knight, and the Dark Knights try to fire the cannon one last time. It explodes, killing most of th eKnights, and seemingly the Solamnic as well, which Thistleknott cries over, only to discover the Boojum is working with the Solamnic, and they are acting. Then they go to investigate the cannon and discover that it’s a patent pending popcorn popper made by a gnome. This was a great new story featuring the kender and knight team, and an interesting idea that a seemingly innocuous gnome invention could end up being an actual war machine like a cannon. You know if they meant to make a cannon the end result would’ve been the same as well.
Tree of Life by Miranda Horner
This was an oddly intimate tale of a dying dryad and a dying Knight of Takhisis. The dryad’s tree was dying due to the intense heat of the summer, and it wasn’t getting any needed rain, which in turn meant that the tree’s dryad was dying and her movement away from the tree was severely restricted. Then a Dark Knight and his blue dragon crashed near the tree. The knight eventually came to and asked for help, which the dryad couldn’t give, but the dryad asked for some of the water the knight had. He was pinned under his dead dragon. They spoke of honor and honesty and the cycle of life, and the dark knight gave her little capfulls of water which she summarily emptied onto the exposed root of her tree. In the end she pleaded for the water but the knight refused, however the knight finally accepted that he would die here as well and the water wouldn’t save him. So after the dryad passed out near death, the knight emptied his waterskin which gave the tree enough strength to fight for survival, reviving the dryad who reflected on the knight’s last gift. This is such a great reminder of our place as human animals amid nature...
