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

    Ok. My Dailies are Surprising Arrow Stance and Nature's Rage. I look at my dear friend with eyes welled with tears and intense consolation. I embrace him and quietly say "You need be sorry for nothing. We will avenge them." I pull him back to arms length and stare intently into his eyes...

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

    After much diddling about and going back and forth on build, I give you...Saerie of 4e (brought to you by the same crappy format of Tecklenburg's Otthor): Saerie Dungeon World, level 21 Elf, Rogue/Ranger, Twilight Guardian, Beastlord Hybrid Ranger Option: Hybrid Ranger Fortitude Bonds of Life...

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

    I shout to Averandox as he tears into Piscaethces. "Averandox! Lend Otthor your tail!" My intent here is to give Otthor Decades of Experience (take +1 and Mark xp for me) to catch Avernadox's tail if I can get him loose on this attack. As Rawr and the great white wyrm do their part, I...

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

    With learned poise and the easy confidence that comes with decades of living on my own in the wild, I fight back the Far Realm's mental intrusion. Defy Danger (Wis) 4, 3 + 2 = 9 Success but a worse outcome, hard bargain, or ugly choice. I roll to my right along the steep face, as far and as...

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

    My eyes and jaw each open wide as a gutteral scream wells up somewhere deep inside me. I see my arm reach out toward Exel and Xanob as they slide down the face to their horrific doom, but I cannot feel the movement. I only witness it from afar. I find myself wondering if their minds were...

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

    I flatten my back against the not-so-gentle sloping face that leads up to the peak. Feeling the effects of the nasty collision with the unforgiving stone, my lungs work overtime to regain my breath, a grimace crossing my face at my aching ribs and sternum. I reach into a belt pouch and scoop...

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

    Can I use Covenant of Winter to create an icy bridge for Otthor like Ice Man does? It says I can do the following when I call upon the elemental forces of winter: * Rend with ice and sleet. * Repel with gale-force winds. * Blot out the sun with snow. So that appears to be a bit of a...

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

    Its fighting some kind of mental intrusion, eh? That sounds like a domination attempt. Its flying has become a bit erratic so it has to be more than telepathy. This might be the only strafing run I get... Can I try to soothe the beast, some kind of animal handling, or impart some kind of aid...

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

    Can I pick out the wolf-turned-mutate in the haze of green mist that covers the ground? Discern Realities (Wis) 3, 2 + 2 = 7 1 question and + 1 forward when acting upon it. * What should I be on the lookout for? If I can't see it due to it being obscured, perhaps it can't see me either...

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

    An idea pops in my head as I watch my companions began to navigate the maze of the spreading green mists that will soon be at my position on the periphery of the battlefield. The Wyvern is a natural beast, so I should be able to communicate with it, yes? Precisely. It is surely the apex...

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

    So this all seems pretty bad. If we fail to get out of the grip of the tower's collapse into a singularity, are we talking about outright death for all of us? Ok. My short sword and long knife are sheathed. Staring down the prospect of death and resigned to the fact that this is going to...

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

    I stuff the wax in my ears and tell Rawr what I'm about to do so he understands and isn't disagreeable when I stuff the wax in his own ears. With that done, we step forward and face the mental assault of the tower together. Lucky has nothing to fear here. Defy Danger (Wis) 5, 2 + 2 (take + 1...

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

    We'll worry about the sellables and the coin later. If there is a later... Great! Before she can get too far from us and fully in the thrall of the tower, I invoke the power of my primal tattoo and communicate her in her language. "Snap out of it. Your younglings will perish if you let...

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

    Lucky's Fetch returns the 1 Ammo I spent so I'm still at 4 Ammo. Lucky, Rawr, and the goblin brothers fall in line behind me as I circle my way downward around the perimeter of the shaft toward Otthor. I my friend delicately, almost lovingly, handling the Winter Fey elf's remains. "I know...

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

    Forget this here above. I've got a better plan. Feeling the bitter cold of the magical beast before me, my mind is unconsciously drawn to the warding amulet I wear around my neck. Defy Danger (Con) 2, 5 + 1 (+ 1 Amulet) = 9 Success but a worse outcome, hard bargain, or ugly choice. The...

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

    Hidden behind the Nearby boulder, a pair of arrows strung on my readied bow, I exhale and let fly. Camouflage + Called Shot + Blot Out the Sun; 1 Ammo spent. I'm just going to deal my damage rather than name my target and roll. d8 damage on both spiders. Rolled 4 - 2 armor = 2 on the spider...

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

    I give both Exel and Xanob a hand and pull each of them up to the stone I'm perched upon. We quickly take the final step to the frozen wilderness just below the mountain's peak. I instruct everyone to spread out and look for the shaft's opening up here. As we're rolling the rock over to...

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

    I'll consume one of the primal-magic infused berries and let their power invigorate me. 1 + 1d4 HP returned. Rolled 2. 3 HP. Back to 21/21. 3 berries left. I stand up on the stone and look around up top, my eyes scanning for the snowy terrain for a boulder that is large enough to do some...

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

    I pat Lucky on the head and stand up. A walk over to the climb that awaits on me on the right flank of the overrun trail. Just out of habit, I rub my hands together and give them a clap. Even though I know this will mostly be hand-climbing, I put the ice-axe on my belt nonetheless...in case...

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

    I stare up at the towering, trail-obscuring remains of the avalanche. Over my shoulder, I say to Otthor "...hand me that ice-axe and those crampons that you retrieved from the cave - 1 AG. I'm going to explore this and see if I can find a relatively safe way around or over this for us. Take...
