This year I am looking for five characters to be terrified by Prechna and his fellow Cicadteras in, The Return of the Cicadteras. Two main characters and three supporting will face off against a swarm of monsters when the derecho leveled trees all over the city, awakening the horde early. Do you have what it takes to face off against the evil swarming from deep within the ground? Read the previous story at bottom of page.
