Story XII - Favors and Fate - 8/17/2021 The last rays of sunlight were fading quickly, as night settled into the small town of Daggerford. Most of the shops had closed their doors, while the River Shining and the Silver Flood Inn had thrown open their tap room doors to merchants and locals...

The Church of the Blood Sacrament - 8/17/2021 I moved slowly and cautiously moved along the buildings’ sides, avoiding the middle of the roadway. I held a thin rope loosely in my hand. The rope then led to Taryn, who felt his way using the wall of the building on his left. Behind him, Debrika...

Story XI - Cracked mirrors - 7/31/2021 (note: if you haven't played through Tomb of Annihaltion, there are some spoilers here.) “You all look stronger! what happened?" the booming voice of the armored Toddy said, echoing in the manor house. "The southerner still looks like a coward however."...

Open House - 7/31/2021 “I don’t like this,” Adrissa said looking over her shoulder and watching the trio of figures head down a causeway. “We get the gate open, its over. Simple as that,” Doxx said with confidence. “Do you think it will?” Sage asked. “I might be rusty on rules of engagement...

Story X - Naked Fear - 7/14/2021 The party stood at the top of the stairs looking down with trepidation. The puzzle the Lich had presented was nothing short of a gauntlet hidden behind the carved facades of wardrobe. Each one a taste of a faraway plane and each providing a surprise. But this...

Violence in the Streets - 7-14-2021 (Sorry for the delays, but IRL issue prevented a lot of time to work on prose. A lot more coming soon though.) “Great, let’s get it open.” I spoke. Mobad grinned in agreement. “At this point any number of troops would be a help,” Doxx said. “And they can...

Story IX - Minds in Disarray - 7/3/2021 SPOILER NOTE: This does describe events in the Tomb of Annihilation. So reader beware. The group sat in the chamber huddled close to each other, chewing on their rations as they had many times in the past. But in the Tomb of the Nine Gods, the...

Story VIII - The Gift It was early morning, and the light had only started to creep about the horizon. The jungle was beginning to stir, with strange calls of animals and birds alike. But from the entrance to the darkened shrine, there was a different set of sounds; the first was the sound of...

Vegepygmies at the Gates - (6/13/2021) “No!” I said, my heart quickening in panic. “We can’t be…we can’t let them—” “Myrai, how was the army arranged?” Sage asked me. I turned to look at Gossamer who quickly spoke to me in my head. --Well there are like five groups north of the walls. They...

Thanks! From this point on, a lot of this is collaborative writing, mostly in Discord and then transfered. But one of the things it has allowed me to do is really dive into lore about DnD elvish culture (although the numbers are Tolkien elvish), bladesong, and explore about Arnara on how she...

I just had a very similar experience. I was the player, and the amount of plot holes and illogical behavior of the scenario outlined bugged me. But I had to take a step back and remember its a game and remind myself that we haven't seen the entire story yet.

Story VII - Steps in the Morning Light It was nearing daybreak in the City of Omu. The eastern horizon was just starting to spread fiery orange fingers across the sky, as the sun chased the light of the moon and stars away. Around them, the sounds of birds and strange calls echoed in the...

Story VI - Apologies and Opportunities The stone floor made a loud cracking sound, and Rafelor pitched forward into the darkness below. Arnara stepped forward involuntarily in alarm, as she heard his body making a loud plop sound as it hit a substance thicker than water. Arnara was about to...

Faith - 6/4/2021 Mobad squinted out in the darkness, “I see nothing,” “Nothing is very dark for me,” I said to the orc. I took out from my pouch a copper wire, and with a quick thought, threw a loop of a white strand in the direction of Taryn, “Taryn? Its Myrai, we’re coming to get you and...

Story V - Tasted like Chicken “Stay here and I’ll take a look at the statue,” Arnara said cheerfully. She really didn’t expect anyone to argue; she had reciting over and over a simple charm that allowed her to understand anyone speech and any expression of the written word. It was almost a...

Reunions and Introductions - 5/23/2021 Rosa rushed to the side of the fallen woman and placed a hand on her forehead for a moment, and then felt around the throat feeling for swelling. “She’s alive, but she has a fever, and looks to be half-starved.” The Blade eyed the darkness around them his...

Story IV - The Shoals of the Dreamlands The heat in the jungle was oppressive, even in the dead of night. The sounds of birds and monkey calls echoed across the slumbering city of Omu, just yards away from their camp. Insects buzzed around everyone, kept at bay only by the stinking salve...

Made prison look comfortable...although a trip to the Dreadhold might be harsher. I don't really want to write that one though. The vegepygmies didn't feed prisoners normally, and so Myrai was an exception. They of course did that poorly, and Gwen really really didn't care.

As I recall it, Ametrine was down bleeding out, but Balthasar was either only low, or wasn't at risk of bleeding out right then. Tactically both could have lived. Kiana while having healing spells, really wasn't a healer though so, yet most people assumed they would be acting in that capacity...

Caught between a rock…5/9/2021 The cat finished washing its face and stood again. It seemed to be surveying the band looking at each one, vocalizing in soft trills as it did so. Then it moved back to the entrance to their hidden cave and waited patiently for someone to mov. When none of the...
