Muscles surging, Gorak crested the tree tops and headed straight for the village. Quickly nearing the town, his eyes, sharpened by the transformation, picked out flickers of movement between the trees below. Grimly, he redoubled his efforts, racing through the sky. What would take more than...

“Who's Rasha'guar?” Shayla asked. “The Orc-Father. The patron of the entire race,” Geoff replied. Turning to Gorak he added, “You see now why we were reluctant to allow you into our village. Even telling you this much is in violation of my oath and may condemn me to the same fate as Gavin...

“We have to go after him,” Geoff pleaded, turning to Khalid. “Pay attention,” Gorak growled. “I can't keep this up forever.” The ice at the edges of the disc began thin and splinter, drifting away downstream. “I know that place.” Geoff said. “Looks like they're on the south side of the...

I remember thinking something along the same lines... * * * * * * * * * * “Ah, whatever magic did this, is beyond, yes, beyond my measure.” Khalid said. “Nothing in my schooling has hinted at a spell such as this.” He glanced at Gorak. “Pretty clear what it did,” Gorak grunted. “Sucked the...

Khalid jerked awake. He hadn't meant to fall asleep, but after the events of the last two days he was physically and mentally exhausted. Forcing the confusion from his mind, he glanced around for the sound of the noise that roused him when Gorak's head appeared through the entrance. Gripping...

Well without giving too much away, I think it was pretty much just for revenge. I can say that if Galeman had a plot line associated with this little side quest, it ended when Khalid turfed the sorcerer. None of us were overly thrilled about how this turned out, as I think it was pretty clear...

Azarek sprinted through the door, turning sharply to his right and pressing his back up against the wall. “Ravens,” he rasped, lifting his shield up to cover his face. Khalid, standing across from him on the other side of the main doors, readied his spell. A thought nagged at him, something...

Khalid recognized the beast from his studies at the White Tower, although he could scarcely believe his eyes. Huge webbed wings, like those of a bat, propelled the feline body through the air with uncanny speed. The black mane that surrounded the feral, lion like head was mangy and tattered...

We had a bit of an identity crisis here - for a while, we actually thought we were heroes, aiding people in distress for purely altruistic reasons. But as you see, we got over it pretty quickly and got back to serving our own self interests. Heh, actually, I suspect there might have been a...

“SEND ME BACK!” the elemental roared, once more bringing its fists crashing down upon the road. Khalid doubled over in his saddle as a wave of rage washed over him. “Ah, we can't!” Khalid gagged, struggling to form coherent thoughts through the static of anger that was not his own. Azarek...

CHAPTER 7: THE LONG ROAD HOME “So how much further is it?” Shayla asked, leaning back in her saddle and taking a long pull from her water skin. “Ah, yes, well, I'm not exactly sure,” Khalid replied, studying the creased and faded map of the East that Arbaq had provided them so many months ago...

Survival = victory in Galeman's campaigns, and we lived to fight another day. As Gorak pointed out, we were pretty lucky to be so close to 7th when Shayla got killed, although she lost almost a full level and a half after the reincarnation (not to mention fireball and a pile of hps from turning...

Gorak staggered, slipping away from Nargamon's grasp as a wave of vertigo washed over him. “It always feel like that?” he grunted, blinking in the clear white light of the tower's study, his mind trying to make sense of the instantaneous change in surroundings. “I hope I didn't upset your...

Unable to gather his wits, Khalid stood dumbfounded by the scene before him. Gorak lay face down in the dirt, unmoving and possibly unconscious, while Shayla, naked and shivering, huddled on the ground, screaming. Shaking his head, a single thought pierced through his confusion. He had to...

He did indeed, much to Galeman's annoyance. And not even the Complete Arcane version (it wasn't out yet) - it was the old, even more frontloaded, Tome & Blood version where you got the skill points at first level too. I think it might have been easier to qualify for as well, but looking back...

Khalid picked his way carefully beneath the boughs of the great trees, the events of the previous day weighing heavily on his mind. Azarek and Gorak had taken out their anger on the unconscious Dwerro, offering them the same quarter offered human soldiers. Amidst the carnage, they were...

Khalid, following Azarek's monosyllabic instructions, hastily assisted him into his armor. Having been at best, a mediocre student of own profession, the intricacies of the buckles and straps that distributed the massive weight of the armor completely baffled him. Unable to tolerate his...

Since Galeman hasn't got around to posting a map yet, I'll try and describe the area we're in right now (given my track record on updates, I can't exactly criticize him - really, I don't even remember if we had ever had an 'official' map for the game, just sketches here and there. Gorak and I...

Heh. Well, that makes one of us. I absolutely hate the bastard :]. But in all honesty, most of that is residual from the first campaign played in this world where I had to rescue his sorry hide from an Ogre Magi that was holding him 'hostage', almost getting burned alive by a bunch of...

Thanks. It's always nice to hear from new readers... ...and old ones ;) * * * * * * * * * * “Ah, I don't think I want to watch this,” Khalid said, but overcome with morbid fascination, he couldn't force himself to follow through on the words. Like the others, he watched as the scene below...
