originally published The Book of Eibon, Chaosium, 2001
Verhadis is the most powerful sorceror in Hyperborea. But he's also a right prick. He even manages to summon and bind a Hound of Tindalos, which he can send against his rivals, thus ensuring he remains top dog.
Five other wizards decide to gang up on him. And succeed. This leaves an alchemist named Enoycla the big kahuna. The remaining four, now in possession of the jewel housing the bound Hound, try to use it against him. But Enoycla's alkahest experiment succeeds in driving the Hound off, and the jewel is buried in a bottomless pit.
Another amusing Smith pastiche.
