[Realms #480] Holy Sword! "Can't be what?" Maleko asked quickly, but Ayremac did not hear him. Instead, he went over to the axe, emotions stirring again, his mind instantly racing to what improbable events could have led the axe to hang on this wall. He had always assumed that Karak had just...

[Realms #479] Fedifensor "I believe our goals are one, Mori'Quessir... uh... Morier," Maleko said as he caught up with the albino in the port at the entrance to Avik-tchai. "We do need to discuss our situation with you and, as a representative of Grey House, I need some information from you as...

[Realms #478] And Now... the Main Event! Ayremac delivered his reply to the whole of the room, voice booming. "If I win, I ask for my choice of weapon in this stronghold." The githyanki representative turned to the Gisir and conveyed the response and after a moment, the ruler inclined his...

[Realms #477] Trial by Sword and Spell "The rules of the trial are simple," Perragourp sneered at Morier and Saelus. "The fight is to the death. The survivor goes free with all his possessions. You may use any means within your power, but if any githyanki are harmed during this trial then you...

[Realms #476] The Waiting is the Hardest Part "The next time you want to initiate a fight, give me some warning!" Saelus was shouting from his cell somewhere to the right of Morier's. "The element of surprise is a sound tactic against one's enemies, but surprising your allies is utterly...

A lurker chimes in Well... it's an ending. Not a particularly satisfying one, but at least there's closure. Thanks for writing it up. Your story hour prompted me to pick up (and get hooked on) the Dungeon Crawl Classics. So thanks for that too!

[Interludes #15] Have Fun Storming the Castle Ayremac’s thoughts wandered briefly as the group pondered their options. How things had changed in his life. When he thought back… to Arland, his former self, the human who strived to achieve respect in the world of politics in his small community...

[Interludes #14] Revelations at the Gate “Grandfather Plaque??" the holy warrior gaped. "Is that you?” The stone face smiled warmly. "Indeed it is. It's good to see a familiar face in such a vast emptiness as this," the construct mused. " It's funny, I spent years in a forgotten shrine...

They're pretty confident. There's only so much I can do to keep the obvious meta-issues out of the discussion. The characters might see the gods' hands in events, but the players know what the DM's been telling them. You have no idea what's in store for these poor suckers - I mean "valued...

[Interludes #13] The Doorman They traveled for a time that was difficult to gauge, only once spotting anything worth seeing in the silver expanse - a bit of astral flotsam that they used as a temporary rest stop so that Maleko could trance and replenish the spells he'd used to heal Cerrakean's...

[Interludes #12] Synchronicity Del could see that there was more to be told about Ixin's former companions, and he perked up at the prospect of information related to the story that he and Maleko were pursuing. "What can you tell us of your time spent with these Grey Members?" he encouraged...

[Interludes #11] Route! "Not really," Maleko admitted. "But if we find her, perhaps I could help. I could Web her and then she would be easy to remove." The elf started back down the stairs but Cerrakean shot him a staying look. "I can deal with Jinissi," she said. "That's what I'm good at...

[Interludes #110] Suppressive Fire "J'inn has not found the lizardfolk yet," J'ann told Ayremac. "But it seems that she's heading for the bridge." The holy warrior considered the information and sighed. "Let J'inn know that we're on our way," he said. "If they do find her tell them to contain...

[Interludes #10] What's a Nice Bunch Like You Doing in a Place Like This? Ayremac looked from Del to Maleko and nodded slowly. “In an effort to be diplomatic," he began, "my mission here is simply to purge this vessel. As you stated, association with a Neogi vessel is somewhat questionable in...

[Realms #475] Resisting Arrest While Perragourp was pronouncing what amounted to a death sentence for at least two of the defendants, Morier looked about the room. He took inventory of which guards possessed which of his belongings that he would need if he was to escape. Too many items were in...

[Realms #474] Into the Lion's Den Saelus considered his own depleted strength and the steely look onthe faces of both githyanki sergeants before reaching his decision. "I appreciate you having more honor now then Akerman will ever have in his entire life but I must politely decline your...

[Realms #473] Githyanki Justice Morier stared up at the githyanki snarling down at him, its greatsword poised to strike. He could hear Saelus cursing and grunting with his effort to move and knew that there were two more githyanki that he couldn't see quite close by. Sitting up, he stripped off...

[Realms #472] The Not So Great Escape, Part I "Funny thing, that last little clause you mentioned," Morier laughed and stepped back till he was flanking Saelus. "I find it funny anyway." Akerman looked at him quizzically. "I'm sorry, you've lost me," he told the eldritch warrior. And Morier...

[Realms #471] Reaping What's Been Sown "Morier, who is this man and what exactly is it he wants?" Saelus asked his companion while keeping his eyes trained on the githyankis and others in the vicinity. He did some quick tactical calculation regarding the feasibility of fighting his way out of...

[Interludes#9] An Unexpected Turn Maleko raised his wand and spoke the command word sending four Magic Missiles arcing unerringly into the cloaked figure's chest. The man yelped and tumbled out of the doorway. Cerrakean slipped passed Jinissi and headed into the spider ship after him. The...
