The last Nemean Games were held on June 11 & 12, 2016. The events consisted of competitions that were gymnastics or equestrian in nature. Some events included boxing, wrestling, foot races, and chariot racing. These special games were celebrated a year before and after the Olympic Games in Nemea.
The winners of the Games would receive a wreath of wild celery leaves from Argos.
These days, good witches decide to go undercover to help villagers with their problems. Harvest time has been difficult this year due to dry weather, so the ground shows many cracks. You and your fellow good witches decide to do a spell to help the soil be good enough for farming, but the spell doesn't get to the expected result. Accidentally, you all end up summoning an unwanted god. What will happen?
Our Hero, (of your choice) has traveled the lands for months, searching, trying to find that last piece of the puzzle, the final sentence in a powerful spell to which they will gain ultimate strength. The problem is, all the clues lead to the horrendous underworld ruled by the mighty Hades.
You have prepared for this your whole life. It is your first time participating in Nemean Game's Archery and Spear throwing. With the aura of death lingering, will it be your last? You knew when you first picked up the spear, with its glory came a curse. With Hercules's spear, came his infamous insanity. You have come so far, held on for too long. But with the threads of sanity tearing, how far would you go? Would you end it all? Would you end them all?
You're on your way home from work. It's a chilly and dreary night. There are no people or cars in sight, and the weak road lights are the only source of light. Suddenly, a sound comes from behind you in the bushes. You spin around to take a look, but the pitch darkness around the place prevents you from seeing anything. As the terror begins to creep up your spine, you turn around and hear a sound like someone is dragging a pole behind them. You turn around to witness your worst nightmare come to life
