1.1 A Timely Welcome 1.1 A Timely Welcome This space is reserved for a future post. I had planned on each chapter alternating between the two characters, Eltera first, then Fharis, then Eltera again. Fharis's chapters are still in the editing phase, so apologies to all. Check back later for an...

1.0 Darksail Argosy Drawing upon the power of the greensight, Eltera’s thoughts drifted back momentarily to the white cloth headband that once belonged to her father, Saulekanis. The former weaponmaster of House Trellust was once among the greatest warriors in all of Nyctalinth, that is, until...

1.0 Darksail Argosy Eltera grimaced as her jaw tightened in an effort to fight through the pain in her hands. She had learnt to live with the occasional dullness of discomfort from the wicked wounds. At most, she usually experienced a shock of pain at some odd moment. Now, though, the pain...

1.0 Darksail Argosy Rentiki raised a hand to his chin, idly scratching at the stubble growing there. “Aye, if you say so, dear Cat,” the Captain softly conceded, sounding rather unconvinced. Mirroring Eltera, he turned his attention back to the Dracian host and their Hrundic guests. Gritting...

1.0 Darksail Argosy The dark aelf watched the gathering parade in silence. There was certainly no small number of soldiers and guards for the arrival of the Hrundic envoys. Despite the armed guards and hungry dragon-like creatures of every sort, the enegry of the crowd was near fevered with...

1.0 Darksail Argosy “Peace,” the Captain repeated, as if hearing the sound of it for the very first time. “My Hrundic is a bit rusty, but I don’t believe the northmen even have a word for peace in their language, not that they would know the meaning to begin with. They war with each other in as...

1.0 Darksail Argosy Eltera tried her best to enjoy the walk and the day. It wasn't often that she could actually find some semblance of freedom to move openly through a city, even if under the guise of her hood. Her hair was not free to the wind, but it was still a beautiful day and she tried...

1.0 Darksail Argosy “Aye, fair enough, as you say, my dear Cat,” was Rentiki’s somewhat sullen reply at the dark aelf’s polite refusal of the offered expertise of his ship’s surgeon. He continued his way down the wharves of the Ebontine with Eltera walking beside the large man as they talked...

1.0 Darksail Argosy In no way did Eltera find that information concerning Hashad a surprise. The man seemed to have an unkempt appearance that accentuate his coarse and crude mouth. His whole demeanor said that he would belittle anything with breasts into his own desires. The Svari offered a...

1.0 Darksail Argosy Accepting Eltera’s offered hand, Rentiki smiled broadly and gestured toward the western lane of the boardwalk, letting out another rumbling guffaw at the mention of his First Mate as they walked. “Aye, he can at that. You know, it wasn’t the first time his tongue had landed...

1.0 Darksail Argosy Eltera unconsciously flexed her hands at the deckhand's approach. His very walk spoke of a self-assurance coming close to being feared, especially as his eyes took on Eltera's form. She shifted her hips, trying to get comfortable under the much lighter weight of a dagger...

1.0 Darksail Argosy Lifting a meaty hand to stroke his chin thoughtfully, Captain Rentiki regarded Eltera with an expression of utmost curiosity etched across his broad features. As the dark aelf tucked the errant strand of hair back against the voluminous folds of her hood, she could feel the...

1.0 Darksail Argosy Eltera blinked away the tears in her eyes as the morbid imagine of Valsentres disappeared from her vision. She wiped her delicate fingers across her cheek, expecting to find blood. The Svari was almost disappointed to find only a tear. Why she felt that way, she could not...

Out Of Character I've come to realize that the back and forth nature of pbp/pbem games is somewhat jarring to read in a true story format as far as posting goes, but I'll try to make the most of it and edit entries to make them read a little easier. It's a time consuming process though (and...

1.0 Darksail Argosy 1.0 Darksail Argosy A dark tiding they sing, Its current at my shore. A change upon the wind, It sees me off to war. – Verse from an old merchant marine’s warchant Pryntar 24, Ceriday, 957 VR (Veracian Reckoning)* Drace, capital of the Dragon Kingdom of Mordrake, the...

Prologue: The Bonds That Tie Prologue: The Bonds That Tie With each heartbeat, each breath taken of this still unfamiliar air, the once inviting blackness of twilight began to retreat, shrinking further and further away from the inevitably encroaching light of dawn. Here on the surface, the...

Song of Shattered Blades Introduction This D&D campaign started out around 1997-8 on AOL and AIM as a chat room and message board based game using AD&D 2nd Edition rules set in a homebrew world called Paylen. In that time I was a relatively newbie GM and honed my storytelling and writing...
