23x01 Wind flickered the torches that lined the city streets as the pageant ended and the audience spilled out of the theater, chattering about Brother Ono's heroic stature and the Adept Nyoko's grace. Next, on this long summer night of Ehkt's Judgment, families and friends would gather for...

20x04 Surely there's not a way out down there... Mena thought, as the intruder she thought of as Bloodthirsty Guy disappeared into the darkness of the lower level. Suddenly a man-sized shape swished through the air above her. It was Tavi. Lofted by magic, he flew above the stairs, above...

Your sentiments are a remarkably accurate reflection of our sentiments at the gaming table. :] And thank you very much for the kind words!

20x03 Trusting that Rose was as safe as she could reasonably be back in Lord Ono's office, Mena felt free to take the lead as the party raced into the depths of the Inquisitorial House, toward the dungeons. She had time to remind herself of the stakes they were facing: the alarm in the...

20x02 WEEK FOUR | MONDAY Nyoko was so excited that she had to concentrate to keep her footsteps sedate as she walked the short distance back from the Adept House to the Inn of Comfortable Repose. She had urges to try out dance steps, there in the street, but she contented herself with letting...

It's now two weeks later, so it only seems fair that... ...we have a new update... ...and more new updates to come on a roughly weekly schedule, as before... ...starting in just a couple minutes! (And it's not that Fajitas was a really slow editor. It's that I got swamped by the day job...

To Fajitas May Hennans name a palace for you May Thaneans award you a medal May Aegosians put your face on coins May Sovereigns Affirm you May Karonians give you gifts May Pykosians archive your writings May Undians take you drinking (and preserve your kneecaps) May you have a wonderful...

Thank you, Kuritaki and Cerebral Paladin! It's always extra fun to hear exactly which descriptions and lines are a hit. We're all swamped with work, so that's why updates have slowed down a little. Lots more to come, though. :)

20x01 Standing next to Tavi in Lord Ono's office, Kormick exhaled in a long, annoyed sigh. "So the Tide know that we're holding one of their own in custody. And if they gain access to our prisoner, no doubt they'll find out what we’re doing and bring that information straight back to the...

Political skill challenges. How far ahead does he plan. Oh. Oh, he plans. And he didn't call it "skill challenges," exactly.... But I will let him explain when he gets a moment.

18x04 On the eve of Ehkt Rising, Arden followed the gentlefolk as they filed back into Lord Ono's office. The man had summoned them for an urgent meeting, but at first, he didn't seem to be present. Then, from the floor behind the desk, came a low moan. Ono was lying on the ground there...

18x03 In the city of Cauldron, Tavi led the way into Lord Ono's office. Ono stood up to greet them with the wary stance of a swordsman who expected an ambush. Tavi nodded his head politely. "Lord Ono," he said. "We have solved some of your problems… but perhaps brought you some new ones."...

18x02 In the morning, everyone ate and dressed a little self-consciously as Kawazu watched them with darting, fearful eyes. Nyoko borrowed the use of Savina's tent and emerged in full Adept robes, hair, and makeup. The Inquisitors joined the Adept in a circle around their prisoner. Arden, as...

18x01 The wind fluttering their clothes was more summer than spring, warm and humid, perhaps running ahead of a storm. It made the mounds of snow and hunks of ice seem especially uncanny. The remains of Kawazu's summoned angel were melting rapidly, and Kawazu himself lay motionless...

Correct -- thanks, Cerebral Paladin! Rose is an NPC, but one of those NPCs in whom we're all fairly deeply invested. Here's the original post on the party's line-up, if anyone's interested in further review.

Thank you all so much for the lovely comments!! So fun, and much appreciated, especially at the end of a very tiring week. A special thank-you also goes to spyscribe, who took notes at Session 15 because ellinor and I both happened to be out of town for different reasons when this was played...

15x05 Arden's role in all these conversations was to stand by the door, pretending that she wasn't listening, that she was only there in case her mistress developed a sudden need for a glass of water. Mena knew she was pretending. Twiggy surely guessed. Kormick probably assumed. Of course...

15x03 Savina paid close attention to Lady Nishi's movements as the woman sat down on the edge of a chair opposite them and smoothed her skirts. Her stiff body and refusal to make steady eye contact with her visitors suggested not only aristocratic distance—an attitude Savina knew well—but also...

[Whoops, posted twice by mistake when really I was just trying to add the "PS" that appears below: look for an update tomorrow. Anyone know how to delete duplicates?] Wow, SolitonMan, thanks for the very kind words! We have so much fun playing, and I'm really enjoying sharing that fun with...

Wow, SolitonMan, thanks for the very kind words! We have so much fun playing, and I'm really enjoying sharing that fun with more people by writing the Story Hour. As I mentioned 'way back at the beginning, this is my first time playing any role-playing game, and I was ... skeptical ... but...
