    The Thorns of Winter -(updated 8/1/2023)

    Ding! Yeah. Kind of obvious for anyone who has been around the block a time or two. Up until this point the most memorable encounter with one was the "secretary" in Lolth's vessel in Q1. That was funny. This one was more...personal.

    A Snake in the Garden - 10/10/2022 The spear pierced my armor easily, and I felt the metal bite into my flesh. I would have probably screamed at the pain, if I wasn’t already in pain from the caustic vapors that surrounded me. As I spun myself to the right, I dislodged the spear just in time...

    A Malodorous Encounter - 9/6/2022 The day grew a little brighter, and much colder as we followed the raven, Snave, northwards. Cold enough that when we found some shelter along a hillside, Gossamer begged to be unsummoned. I admit…I was kind of envious. But the cold had set everyone on edge...

    That story would be an interesting hot mess. I was playing a lizard folk with my son, and we went out of our way to write observations in Lizard Head Space. The diction was cool but hard, but its only readable in short doses...and yet it is the main source of notes. The other set, which was...

    The Gaze of Khyber - 8/11/2022 I stood there, eyes wide in fear, my heart pounding. Every instinct I had, was telling, no screaming at me to run. To get away. To move! But the chamber had no place to hide. No where to avoid the sight of the monstrosity that hovered there over the pit. I had...

    Compared to my more recent campaigns that was a tame double entendre...very tame. Says more about the current stuff than the prior ones. But honestly, glad you picked up on the humorous detail.

    The Eyes Have It -07/27/2022 With the sound of metallic snaps, bolts were flying everywhere. One bounced off of my shield with a loud clink. As for the other bolts it appeared that the diminutive creatures were terrible shots as only one other found its mar.. As I raised my shield to better...

    I will admit; he's toned down a bit. Even though half of the words are in the Cant, there was far more off color jabs and jibes. I had to balance it here a bit. But it was the laugh they REALLY destested. They all remember it all too well.

    More than we bargained for - 7/2/2022 “We must be out of our minds,” Rosa muttered trudging through the snow. I nodded, “I agree. And we technically haven’t made a bargain or contract or anything!” “Get two precious gems from guarded locations,” The Blade growled. “If it weren’t from a hag...

    Twisted Mirth - 6/2/2022 We stood several paces away from the mouth of the cave, each looking at the other. The shadow appeared to shrug, and moved back into the cave, the red fire light spilling into the gorge as it casually mocked us, “Come, come, harming you now would be missing the point...

    Well...lots to describe and lots and lots of dialog. However, I would be the first to say, that discussing anything with Twisted Mirth in her home isn't for the squeamish

    March of Many Darks - 5/15/2022 “You can’t be serious,” Doxx said pointing at the gesticulating banderhobb. “That’s an invitation?” “I can’t think of a reason to stand there waving a book around,” Rosa said looking at the old woman reproachfully. “Do we really need this book?” I said already...

    The Worst Wizard The creature blinked once and made a low rumbling sound, that only just covered the muffled sounds of Kalborius in its gullet. Its eyes squinted and it pulled its lips into wide toothy grin as it watched Sage and Doxx charge down the center of the shelves. It squatted down low...

    Slaad would seem to be the answer, but it isn't any breed (or reskinned stat) of one.

    It Tastes Like Chicken - 3/30/2022 The sun was rising behind the Ironroot mountains, somewhere behind the thick grey cloud cover. We thought it might be just early, but as we rode it became clear that what light we had was the best that could be hoped for. The twilight conditions made riding...

    It better and he was. The reference for who he was mentioned by King Melandrach in the last part of Souls of Legends. It is all about the details.

    Constructs and Observations. Floating in the middle of somewhere, I could do little more than wait. The flickering lights surrounded and defined the place with a dim glow like the clearest night sky full of bright stars. In the distance trailed away from me strands of light and darkness. Both...
