Late one evening, a solitary traveler came into Refuge, along the road to Outpost. The man looked as if he had walked all day. He was slightly winded. The man, though unrecognized, was a Markidian and wore a tunic marking him as someone of Kingdom employ, though he was most definitely not...

Five Cycles had passed, in relative peacefulness, since that awful ordeal with the corrupt Hand of Justice, named Enri. Some beneficial changes had come to the Religion of Light, after his end at the hands of the Outliers. Religion and superstition, basically differing only in ritual and the...

Homebrew Setting: This is a magic infusion, early technology, fantasy world populated by men and monsters. Of course, some men are monsters. The particular technological age is deliberately set during the early Iron Age, progressing toward the Age of Discovery, so that the actions of...

Wisely deciding to wait on the strange rodent required less time than that which would have frustrated the youths. The prickly creatures finished collecting the seeds from its current pinecone, looked over at the party again, and then moseyed on about its way. The crude spears were retrieved...

The four new arrivals quickly forgotten, the Sojourn Six became bored, or rather restless, by the very next morning. Intimate occupation was far too limited for the male gender, and other pursuits must be entertained for a necessary period of physical recovery. Fortunately, the female psyche...

Responding to Taylar, Vittero says, "Yes, as he has only been dead for mere seconds, I know of a ritual where I can recover the Essence of Raven Elk into his body, but I do not think that he would want me to do that. He and I both believe in the immortality of that Essence, and his life was such...

Though everyone but Cormorante could determine that their items were of mystical value, only Siofrita, Britta, and Sprthnt could identify that usefulness, conveying such information to Antapkos and Cormorante. Antapkos had earned an Azurestone, which when carried would augment his efficiency of...

Sphynx will, of course, continues backward at a reasonable pace, having no desire to come into contact with some autonomous mass of digestive goo. If it appears that his magical assault is having some positive effect, he will continue it. "Whatever diabolically malevolent wizard originally...

Since the man is trying to get away and not watching over his shoulder, Sprthnt has no difficulty putting him down with an arrow. The one, who could run, got away. Though the Graggorids are a most rudimentary of tribes, as the road is being cleared, it is noted that a few are adorned with...

Being uninjured and unencumbered, Vittero is much faster than could be expected. His image blurs as he, very quickly, charges in at Enri. Though he has no weapon and cannot hurt the larger, armored man, he is an incredible irritant and demands the attention of the common enemy, allowing the...

Brenda rolls her whole head, not just her eyes. She thinks that pestering the creature is foolish and stays where she is standing. The odd rodent is seen at a great enough distance that the three youths feel obligated to creep forward before trying to launch anything at it. Never having thrown...

Antapkos launches his javelin almost a full second before anything else happens. Fortune, it seems, has smiled upon the entire Sojourn Six. The spears of two of his enemies are already in the air before his own projectile strikes home, but the ceramic blade of Antapkos punches into the abdomen...

Vittero plants his staff in the roadway and runs toward Enri. The staff is only a symbol not a weapon. He figures that if he can close on the Hand, he should be able to negate any further attempt to generate such an electrical discharge. As Vittero starts forward Enri makes a complicated gesture...

Taylar, Enri, and his mount, all act almost simultaneously. Enri categorically ignores Astarte and yells back at Vittero. "Fine! Die!" Though wielding a rather large, fat-bladed, double-edged sword in his right hand and having a metal guard upon his left forearm, the leader of the Hand does not...

NOTE: Do not think in numeric Human terms for aging. There is some variance between the three species of beings and even some more between the tribes. Use the given name of age for reference. All characters are currently Adolescent, no matter the difference in number of Cycles. Brenda is the...

The Graggorids react to the remaining presence of caravan members more quickly than could have been expected. Being spread out in some semblance of a line parallel to the road, each of the seven stops his forward motion and begins to throw a crude spear at his nearest target. Kuwaia happens to...
