    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    I'm pretty sure I just got taken behind the woodshed even without knowing the exact value of those giant woolly pigs. I walk over, pick up the 6 coins, and roll them around in the palm of my hand as I stand there considering whether to knock on the door. I turn and walk over to where the...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    Inwardly, I think to myself "Baba Yaga? The Firbolg said Sadia is 'marked.' If she is cursed or there is some unknown fate that goes along with those dreams, then maybe this Old Man Barnum can read some bones or see an image in a bubbling cauldron or something..." Outwardly, I throw my coin...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    I finish my run so I have clear line of sight to the wolf chasing the pigs and the wolf playing whack-a-mole. Bow out, arrow strung, I growl a deep, menacing growl which conveys the following in their language: "Submit to me right now. On your back, bellies up, tails tucked or you're getting...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    We're going to be in a spot here pretty soon. Things are getting heated. Otthor has shown a tendency to get more and more intense when he is faced with either a disrespecting authority figure that tries to lord their power over him or when he is faced with villainy. Also, it is pretty obvious...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    Rawr has a tendency to get into mischief and want to destroy things so he and the Direwolves are in the lowlands off hunting. I'll meet up with them later. Lucky is playing in the spirit world while Sadia is at my side. I can't help but smile at her look of wonderment at all that is around...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    Saerie leans in to Sadia and whispers in her ear. "Get down to the lowlands and hide. If this goes poorly, find a place to hide. Otthor knows where we are. If we aren't back in Senaliesse by morning after next, he will bring a search party. Go." Once she scoots off, I'll give a low growl...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    My hand darts like a viper to intercept her wrist before she can grasp the wintry flower. I'm certain that such a bloom belongs only in The Vale of the Long Night. Defy Danger (Dex) 3, 2 +3 = 8 Success but a worse outcome, hard bargain, or ugly choice. I'm also going to take this opportunity...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    I'll answer the ones that Teck didn't. Saerie will return to the Feywild...but not without Sadia. She mulls over the situation for the next few months. Would her elven people accept this human girl? How would Sadia respond to such an foreign world, both culturally and topographically. It...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    Is this a psychic keyworded effect? Having fought off so many Fomorian's Evil Eye attacks in the Feywild and having recently dealt with, and thwarted, such powerful Aboleth enchantments, I've grown resistant to such an assault on my mind! Even before it can assail me, I'm building a mental...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    I call Rawr over to my side and watch him lope up next to me. "We have little choice, my friend. May our magic be strong and the feet of the fleeing be swift." I know Farishta. She and I have had many discussions of her faith on walks in the woods. She is the spiritual leader of this...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    Before I leave the common house, I put Sadia down once I've gotten over to Three Bird's wife and the children. I smile warmly at Sadia and say "you can play. They can speak your tongue well enough." I tell Three Bird's wife to look after her. If things go poorly at the wall, make sure she...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    When we arrive back in Giliad's Rest, I bid the farmers to follow me. I pick Sadia up and carry her to the nearest temple. "Are you headed to the common house? There are many ill and injured that need seeing to?" Good, I walk with them to the common house. When we arrive, I'll help them...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    I call the dire wolves to stop momentarily when I see Aina begin to reach for the arrow that would signify us as enemies. When our eyes meet, I'll address her firmly. "Consider your next action carefully Aina. You know I am no foe to Giliad's Rest. As I was beseeched by your elders, I have...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    Not that she needed to, but Saerie instructed Rawr and Lucky to follow Otthor's orders. When he teleports to the other side of the river and beckons them to make the leap, they don't hesitate. Eight furry paws dig into the hard-packed snow in the campsite near the fire and, together, they...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    Every fiber of my being wants to stay behind and fight, so it unconsciously tenses when Otthor asks me to lead the refugees away from here while he stays behind. Ultimately though, I see the sense in Otthor's words. His "please" shakes me to my core. Something about it tells me that this may...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    I'm committed to saving as many of the natural beasts of this land as possible. It has slowly been sinking in just what a horrible mistake Saerie made in not confronting Ranyon Argoth in the tower. Perhaps it would have killed either or both of us, but I feel that we could have dispatched him...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    "We slew the false god of the cult that captured your people. However, the Far Realm threat to this world is not remotely over I'm afraid. Those "pestilential mists that ride the mountain?" The entity was able to release that scourge on this world before we ended it I'm afraid. Things are...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    Well, I'm not sure how feasible it would be to sneak by here. I'm assuming you're speaking aloud to maintain the ward against the green mists. If it is anything more than a whisper, you automatically fail. Even if Rawr and I are still allowed to attempt, he is untrained with a check at + 12...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    I waste no time in deliberation for we have none to waste. I simply nod, say "follow" as I take the point, and set out swiftly down the steep, but manageable expansive face of the mountain. In as much as it is possible in the knee-deep snow, I move from cover to cover. I know there are newly...
