Synopsis "Stacking the Deck: Aces"
It has been several years since Jael the Demoness led a team of gods, goddesses and other supernatural beings to thwart the machinations of Laverna, the ancient Roman goddess of Thieves and her one-time ally, Belphagor, the Demon of Sloth and all has been relatively quiet since then. Belphagor remains imprisoned in Hell, but Laverna escaped even when, Diana, goddess of the hunt tried to track her down over the next few months. So, when Anansi, Glooscap, Susanoo-no-Mikoto and Lugh learn she is back in action they rush out to follow her trail only to disappear themselves. Now it is up to Jael to reassemble what is left of her team to go rescue their friends and, while they are at it, stop whatever mischief Laverna is up to this time. That, by itself, would be difficult enough, but this time Laverna as a new ally nearly unparalleled in dark power. Will they find out who they are up against before they, too are taken captive?
