Once again, I'm posting on CP's behalf. Enjoy :) -- Session 19 The Council felt triumphant from having finally dealt with the Fist of the North, but they could not relax. While there was now only one of the Harlequins left, he was the Master Unbidden, perhaps the greatest threat of any of...

CP's out of town, so he's asked me to take over posting duties. It's my post, but his writing - you know the routine :) Enjoy! -- Back at the Council chamber, the Eldar looked up. “The priest of Dain has arrested a young human man.” “A human?” asked Kit. “Might he be in disguise? Or is he...

CP's still having computer problems, alas! You know the routine - my post, but his words :) Enjoy! -- "Can they summon any extra-planar allies?" The Harlequin nodded. "The Fist of the North can." "The Fist of the North?" asked Kit. "What does that mean?" "He is one of the four great...

Once again, CP's words, my computer. Alas, for CP's computer woes! But yay for his Story Hour! --- "Is there any way we could deter them from attacking?" asked Dame Brionna. "Impossible, even though they know that the mission carries dishonor with it. They know that if they fail, they...

Hey folks! CP's computer is acting up, so I'm posting on his behalf again. As before, the writing is all his - I'm just doing the posting :) -- Alistair nodded. “Excellent. Please start at once, but be careful-- the Duke of Brightspan may react very badly if he learns that you are doing...

Hey folks! Cerebral Paladin is having some computer problems, so he's asked me to post the next installment. He's still the one who wrote it; I'm just doing the posting :) Enjoy! -- Alistair looked at the Princess for a moment. Her face was very guarded, and he knew that his answer to this...

To make it even better, this session took place on Halloween. Very spooky - we all got serious chills :)

Kit hesitated slightly as she looked back up from the halfling’s credentials. All right. Time to get down to actual business. “Dame Pressa?” Kit began, more slowly than before. “You understand that my position at court is…somewhat delicate? I have to walk a fine line…” The halfling broke into a...

Happy Monday :) In response to the religion question - Baron Opal is right. Aphonion's religion is more like multiple monotheism than Greco-Roman polytheism, and the Paranswarmian church is on the extreme end of the scale in terms of severity. The Ecumenical Council has been doing quite a bit...

The nature of one of Lady Brenda’s requests having been determined, Brionna went off in search of more information on the other one: the mysterious Box 378. Lady Danielle, one of the late archduchess’s few surviving ladies-in-waiting who had also been on the expedition to Tarsh, received...

When Kit received Brionna’s note about needing help checking out the Tiara of Flame she immediately thought of the Master Farsensor. Not only was the Eldar one of the most skilled psions in the world, he was also greatly enjoying the Council’s requests for assistance in various matters. And as...

The Mouth’s official scribe was much happier to talk to Kit about Lord Terence than about the Endless Stream Tavern. “He is the power behind the throne in Augurt, my lady, in every real way. But your other sources are correct in that he has never made a move to take over. The brothers adore each...

A very happy birthday to our principal writer, Cerebral Paladin! Wishing you cake, happiness, and natural 20s :) -- The Archducal Treasury resided deep below the palace, protected by multiple layers of heavy metal doors, locks, and shimmering magical wards. There were probably dozens, if not...

“My lord Chamberlain?” “Yes, Dame Brionna?” Brionna held out the invitation from Lord Terence. “Dame Katherine and I each received one of these. Has anyone else gotten one?” The Chamberlain took the invitation from Brionna, turning it over in his hands with a thoughtful, assessing gaze. “No...

A servant knocked on the door to Brionna’s office, interrupting the discussion of military matters with a pair of invitations, presented with elaborate politeness to Brionna and Kit. The invitations were on heavy cream-colored parchment, sealed with a crest that Kit had never seen before (not...

The morning’s military briefing was well underway by the time Kit got there, with Dame Brionna and one of the military attachés bent over a table, on which a huge map of the continent was spread. Small figures were arrayed across it, with tiny flags marking each figure as representing one...

Kit’s scribe, inherited from Dame Esmeralda, was a weedy, officious, aging little man. Kit wasn’t sure why he ever needed to write anything down – he seemed to carry most of the Archduchy’s top-secret information around in his balding head. But she was grateful for his presence as a link to Dame...

Here begins Session 14! As CP said, he missed the first part of this session, so I'm going to be Story-Houring for the next little bit. Enjoy :) --- The day dawned far too bright and far too early, with sunshine streaming through the windows of the royal bedchamber. Kit winced away from it...

Just a few notes on the most recent few posts... I think that Kit may have suggested using the Manumistians as distractions in battle. Also, Brionna absolutely shares your misgivings about the diabolists, Baron Opal, but Kit thinks that Lady Constance is a lot of fun. Alistair making deals...

They were almost in time. The voller sat on a broad plain, far below the high hill where the Canberrians watched. The ship was surrounded by dozens of Hanalian knights, all rushing in a frantic, scattered stream towards another, smaller group of people. Twelve figures, their stark black robes...
