Artifice of the Past - 11/4/2021 Doxx rolled to her feet and wiped some blood from her nose. She grimaced at the tree that tossed her like a rag doll and charged back towards the fray. Flames erupted from her hands and engulfed the tree’s extended branches. It flailed about trying to beat the...

The trees flanking on the door passed theirs. Doxx's perception check however...well...not everything goes to plan.

I will leave it your imagination if her reach was beyond her grasp, or Rafelor's reaction to a successful caress. Otherwise; it would be telling.

Story – XVII- Daggers of the Mind The barkeeper was nothing if consistent, as he slid a mug down the counter, which Rafelor caught with a practiced hand, not even looking up. Perched once again on his stool of choice at the edge of the bar, he quickly sipped the strong dark liquor in hand. But...

Pining in the Darkness - 10/21/2021 The grey face was calm and composed as it sank into the earth. The strands pulled and pushed the soil in the ground, allowing the cooling body to be interred within. My hands trembled as I did this as I felt my emotions churn within me. I had killed many in...

Exits are tricky, but based on the circumstance there wasn't much to be done. However, the character was played, even though the player wasn't there anymore. And a natural 20 was rolled on the tail strike, on a Barbarian who didn't have a moment to rage and failed a con save. It was a pile of...

While on the topic, I did have a commission of Arnara created, made by the wonderful Clayscence, which can be found at: Arnara vs Acererak

Story XVI - Regrets of Innocence Lost The grotto in Thay was called by Syranna ‘the Gatehouse.’ Embedded deep in the cliffs overlooking Lake Thaylambar, it was little more than a collection of magical circles set into flagstone. But now it acted as a refuge for the four, sealed here beneath...

Death flies on pale wings My discomfort lessened as I put some distance away from the church and returned to the Jorasco aid station to gather our gear. We didn’t say much to each other on the way. The Blade’s grim face revealed nothing of his thoughts as he strode down the road. Rosa had a...

Hint: Likes concept of the Seeker's of the Blood of Vol, but their take on death, the afterlife and the undead is starting a smoldering fire. As for the Apochrypha. Be careful what you wish for...

Story XV- Meals and Inquisitions - 9/22/2021 The barkeeper slid a mug down the counter, which Rafelor caught with his hand. His drink in hand, he took a swig of the strong dark liquor. As he did so, he detected the scent of someone who needs a bath nearby. The odor grew stronger, when suddenly...

The Chase - 09/22/2021 We started to pick up some of our things, the weapons, armor, and shields in preparation to meet with Lolopethes’ master; the Warlord Loramica. I was happy to leave my pack and heavier things behind, if only for a while. I took the time to dry off my hair and do a more...

Well Myrai's original incarnation was for a Curse of Strahd campaign that never got started. So she started up in a Forgotten Realms homebew, because I wanted to actually play her and explore some ideas about faith. But in a sense she isn't Forgotten Realms; she's really more grounded in...

Story XIV - In the Stacks 9/6/2021 Opening note: So...Arnara is now in Thay, and that is a interesting tale. But it's not this one. This, and the next several is a collaboration on what happened to those folks left behind, while adventurer's do great deeds. Inside the Hearth the fire...

Hangover Hell - 9/6/2021 I could feel the throbbing of my heart pulse through my head. I winced and tried to squeeze my eyes tighter, as if it would assuage the self-inflicted pain from last night. As I exhaled, I felt my throat grind out a mournful sound, and as I did so I wondered if this...

That's becase as a coauthor...you're biased.

Its part of his contract. He has another one back in the Journal of the Souls of Legend as well. https://www.enworld.org/threads/journal-of-the-souls-of-legend-completed.653260/page-3#post-7801895

Story XIII - A Person of Quality - 08/26/2021 Rafelor stood there with his mouth open in surprise as the patriarch stepped forward and looked the half-elf up and down. Kylan slowly circled him, his face a mask and all Rafelor could do, was meet the level gaze head on. Looking at the elf, it...

Deux ex Gossamer - 8/24/2021 I used to think she overreacts. Well, I suppose I understand her almost blasting the four Karnathi undead. It was more than simple distaste of course. They are an anathema to her religion, and she felt she was protecting the kitte…er children. The fact they...

Transcribing a campaign into prose is a challenge. Having to pull together disaparate personalities (which you didn't create) and scenarios which in the heat of the moment made complete sense (and don't when you look back at them). Taking a fight scene round by round is doable (just go back...
