My wife will be happy to hear about your enthusiasm toward Ixin. Although this time around, she's strictly an NPC. And for those of you playing along at home - this is the third distinct version of Ixin. Originally she was a Drakeling (from Green Ronin's Arcana: Societies of Magic)...

[Interludes #2] Day One The next morning Del arrived at Maleko's home shortly before sunrise. It was a small, but exquisite house in the wealthier section of town. Maleko opened the door even before Del could dismount. "I should have known you would bring your own steed. Father can pick up...

[Interlude #1] Reconnect at the Wedding "The bride looks beautiful," Del assured his friend and mentor as the father of the groom stole a moment from the social necessities of his son's wedding to stop at their table. They were in one of the larger banquet rooms at the Janissary Guildhall...

Well, it's been two weeks since my computer died and I was able to I post an update! But I've got a new hard drive with most of my old data so things should settle back into the regular once-a-week schedule. But... for now let's drop a couple of updates to make up for the last couple f weeks...

Wahoo! I guess Santa wasn't paying too much attention to me this year, 'cause it looks like Christmas is coming after all!

[Realms #461] Something Divine "Great... swallowed by a cloud!!" Noxin grumbled as he turned in a circle, greathammer at the ready, searching the area all around for some clue as to what was happening. There was little to see apart from the clouds rolling ever closer. "Perhaps the sword knows...

Umm... Ahlear is the guy who returned from death as a mummy. That's pretty much the definition of circumventing nature.

[Realms #460b] At Saelus ran with Moltenblade held out in front of him as if making a cavalry charge, albeit on foot... which he found distasteful. Not that infantry didn't have their place. Of course they did, but his place was not amongst their ranks. From the corner of his eye, he spotted...

I'll second (or third) the recommendation for DocMidnight's Knights of the Silver Quill. Very, very enjoyable stuff. But here's a couple that I cut my teeth on back in the day. I'll steal from Joshua Randall's format and provide you with some links to make you happy.:) First: drnuncheon's...

[Realms #460a] An Unlikely Hero "Great!" the wizard replied. "Now what do we do with it?" "The swords!" Morier said quickly, turning away from the gem with reluctance. "We need them. Now!" "Yeah... well I sort of... dropped mine back when the giant face screamed at us," Huzair admitted...

[Realms #460] The Heart of the Matter Noxin looked up at the jagged bottom of the floating island and urged himself toward its edge, using the natural flight granted by his Gaseous Form to change his approach so that he Levitated up to the island along the edge. He was almost there, he saw with...

Good ideas, HM. Again, I ask: where were you when I was planning this encounter? Another Primal Dread check (and another failure) for Shamalin laid the cleric low. The plant creature that births itself from Shamalin's remains is a Child of Syllisia from Atlas Games' Touched by the Gods, quite...

[Realms #459] Up, Up and Away! "Ow..." Noxin grimaced, spitting blood. There was a cut along the side of the half-giant's jaw, Saelus saw, and from it were sprouting verdent, leafy tendrils. The wizard jerked back his own leg from beneath the big man and saw that fingers of green were poking...

[Realms #458a] The Scions of Mist and Magma Noxin began backing up slowly, trying to keep an eye on both the screaming demiurge and the moving pile of stone and dirt. Thankfully, the former was fading away even as the living mountain reared up. "Windblade, could you cause a bluster strong...

The PCs at this point in the gamed ranged from 7th-9th levels. Huzair - fire elemarn (a genasi variant) wizard/thief Morier - drow eldritch warrior (a fighter-sorcerer type class) Noxin - half-giant fighter/barbarian Saelus - human fighter/wizard/spellsword Shamalin - half-elf cleric I'm glad...

Ah, the vagaries of the dice. Not quite sure what Noxin would have been the god of, but it would have been interesting if it had gone another way in my game. As it is, things are about to get bloody... I look forward to reading all about it in you story hour. With my new work schedule I'm...

[Realms #458] The Demiurge "This power here is somewhat intoxicating... huh?" Noxin slurred, idly slapping Huzair on the shoulder. The wizard stumbled to the side, colliding lightly with Saelus. Both mages looked angrily at the barbarian, but Noxin wasn't paying them any attention. Instead, he...

Funny you should mention that...

[Realms #457] The Way Beyond the Green "I was sayin', who in the nine hells are you?" Noxin repeated, pointing his maul at the newcomer to dispel any doubt who he was talking to. "Well, I am the relief force, so to speak," the man said, not betraying any fear of the angry half-giant as he went...

[Realms #456] High Plains Drifter "What's with the beady little eyes, Shamalin?" Noxin asked, peering over the cleric's shoulder to where she had Anania's necklace hidden. She looked up into the big man's curious face and shifted awkwardly so that he wasn't towering over her. "It's a... means...
