:) And with that, the Serpent Amphora cycle ends. I wonder whether S&S will publish a high level trilogy any time soon, so that I can run my characters through that one, as well. :)

Out of the frying pan- part 4 of 5 There was no time to lose. The druids and the adventurers set out on foot, since the Grove was protected by special magic that made strangers turn away and prohibited any magical means of transportations. Night had fallen, and they were marching through the...

Out of the frying pan - part 4 of 5 Their journey through the Ganjus took several days. After all the horrors that lay behind them, the friends were grateful for the relative ease of this journey. After all, there would be no titanspawn lurking in the shadow or fiendish beasts preying on them...

Out of the frying pan- part 3 of 4 As Torn plummeted to the ground, Hielaa saw her thunderkites attack the Paladin. Even though he cut one of the small elementals down, they discharged their electric charge into him, which proved to be too much for his already tortured body, and he collapsed to...

Sorry it took me so long. :o But as Nightfall had guessed, I am still on vacation, even though I am at home. We had been to Heidelberg and spend the rest of our vacation here at home in Hamburg. But for the first time in a year, my wife and me had plenty of time off together, and so we spent...

Thanks! I haven't had any updates lately, since I am on vacation and spent a lot of time with my wife, but from tomorrow on, I will post new updates. :)

Out of the frying pan- part 2 Coming out of the corridor, Trepat saw the Paladin dangle, his head getting red, and with one fluid motion, he pulled out his bow and shot the vine, cutting it. Jan crashed to the floor and as Trepat and Torn caught up, he scrambled back to his feet and jumped into...

Out of the fryinp pan- part 1 When they had calmed down, there was only one way left to explore, and that was the shaft that lead down. Swallowing his apprehension, Torn went first, using the many branches as foot- and handholds. As he climbed down the small shaft, he heard a humming and...

The heart of darkness- part 4 of 4 Using his druidic powers, Ben walked at the wall of thorns and, twisting slightly sideways, he passed through it as if there were no barrier at all. He stood in an earthen corridor that ran parallel to the room he had just been in. At its end, there was a...

Well, the poor undead really had no choice but to follow his nature. But in the afterworld, Torn's act of charity will surely be considered. ;)

The heart of darkness- part 3 Peering past Leral through the opening in the foliage, they finally saw the mighty Citadel of Serpents in all its horrid splendour. There, in the middle of a massive bowl shaped depression, which was surrounded by a ring of foliage in which the heroes were now...

Well, luck is always relative, I guess. And since I had mentioned earlier that now, a few sessions after the events I am describing, the characters are still alive, it is safe to say that they didn't try a frontal assault on the citadel! ;) Talix, fortunately, none of the characters had the...

Hello Snoweel, good to hear from you again. At this point, the characters had the following levels (I think). Ben: Druid lvl 4, Incarnate lvl 3 Torn: Barbarian lvl 1, Rogue lvl 3, Wizard lvl 1, Assassin lvl 2 Trepat Ranger lvl 1, Sorcerer lvl 6 Niklas Monk lvl 7, Psychic Warrior lvl 1 Jan...

The heart of darkness- part 2 As Niklas tried to free himself from the vice-like grip, he remembered his teacher telling him about those monsters. They were called "Chuuls" and he distinctly recalled Brother William talking about the tentacles, which hung under the crustacean's head like a...

Well, they will need to get there first. :D Anyway, I have just finished a new update. Once at home, I will do the spellchecking, so that I will be able to post it in two hours or so. Incidentally, I will use a cliff-hanger that is presented between the first two chapters of the actual...

The heart of darkness- part 1 They rode out into the hills, leading their mounts by the reins whenever the ground became too rocky for their steeds. Looking at the maps the elves had given them, they saw that they had to cross merely 100 miles of these badlands. The bloodsteppes ended somewhere...

Bosom of the mother- part 4 of 4 Jan went down on his knees and used his healing powers on the injured druids. Some of the wounds closed and the bleeding stopped, but Tamlaine's injuries were too severe for Jan to completely heal them. Still, she was now strong enough to prop herself up on her...

I couldn't kill anything, I'm afraid. Else I would have shot the crows in my backyard weeks ago. Those bloody creatures make a hell of a noise every day, going "Craaah Craaah" at an annoying volume all the time, and yet I can't bring myself to hurt them. After all, they have just as much right...

Bosom of the mother- part 3 of 4 Immediately, the soldiers stopped whatever they were doing at that moment, and readied their weapons and shields. Inaciel shouted over the rising wind: " Hold there, if you can! We're going to warn Tamlaine!", and the six elves vanished into the trees, ducking...

Thanks for all your comments. :D I intend to post another update tonight. Talix, Ben had sacrificed a little more than 1.000 GPs, IIRC. The guardian gave such a big gift in order to ensure future sacrifices. At the same time, he made clear, that he won't always grant a wish after a sacrifice...
