Story III - Ametrine’s Fate The journey back to town, and the three-day trek to eventual warmth of the Griffon’s Nest was as it was before. Blood spilled on the seeking the weapons wanted by the baron and the ancillary wealth that came with it. Five returning to town, each with a story to...

Well, I will try not to cheat and introduce characters or scenarios that weren't covered in the text beforehand like Agatha Christie. It also helps that we don't have to wait till the end of the book to see the results. Thanks for the comments on the forensics. This is leaned into heavily in...

Muddy Respite - 5/2/2021 (Special thanks to Ryan 'The Blade' for introspective writing) A peal of thunder sounded across the sky as the clouds above flashed with light. As the group stared at the distant wavering wall, a warm damp gust of wind blew through them as the rain began to fall. “We...

Good thing elves don't sleep :)

Story II - Ill at Ease Arnara sighed quietly in the darkness. The air was warm and damp, and the sound of the nearby underground river echoed in the cavern beyond the iron door, where they were hiding. She had done her Reverie early, but the others seemingly unaware that she still could hear...

Ah I suspected as much. @Morrus would you be willing to change this?

Like "Is she dead?" Its can be hard to kill an Undying warlock that doesn't want to die. But the story would be different, if other subclasses were available at the time.

I'm not sure if I am missing a setting or something, but I realized that I didn't have any prefixes for a number of threads in the Story Hour Forum. However, when I decided to edit them, all I can see are Pathfinder 1e, 2e, Startfinder, review and (no prefix). Is there a way to make other...

Short stories from adventurers Last Updated 8/21/2023 So when I posted this, I meant it as a series of shorts on my then current character in play, Arnara. But the campaigns ended, and things moved on. But as it turned out over the course of a number of years, I produced other shorts of...

The Thorns of Winter - 4/21/2021 “My father, I…don’t…” I felt my heart beat ebb as the spear was pulled out of my chest. All the air within me passed my lips uttering a last plea. My vision grew blurry, as I watched the vegepygmies wander out of the room leaving me to die in the cage. My...

Confrontation with a Lesser Winter - 4/12/2021 The passage beyond, resembled the earlier one, if a bit wider. The floor here was stone, but with a fair spattering of damp mud in the center of the corridor. But beyond the sputtering torches on the walls, there was no sound, and no movement...

Welcome back. I was afraid I chased you off :) And Bookshelf is challenging to write; It was always the small things at the table with tone, less action. All of them have their secrets and subtleties, and I am glad you have been enjoying it.

Its called "Recycling" in the grimmest possible way. In talking with "The Blade" last night, he's amused as well. So enjoy!

Hatchet Job Gone Wrong - 3/24/2021 (Special thanks to Ryan for his contribution on The Blades' interrogation) The wailing sound faded to nothing while the group looked at each other apprehensively. “Someone else is alive down here?” Doxx stated in disbelief. “The cages implied capturing of...

Its not like she's looking for it...but if she is consistent in one thing; extricating herself from problems like this. And if weren't for conflicts like this, its hard to have adventures!

The Wailing Darkness - 3/16/2021 I was stuck looking at the ceiling as my cage was paraded down through the depths. I could only see the stains of soot on the rock above and the occasional flicker of torchlight from the corners of my eyes. Not helping was the swaying movement of the cage as...

The Pits of Progeny - 3/5/2021 Doxx didn’t think, they leapt towards the horse stalls. Landing on the wooden floor on their stomach, he quickly rolled and righted himself to see what had happened. Where the floor once stood, it now had pitched downwards, and they could just see the others...

Tales by the Houselight - 2/24/2021 The group looked at each other awkwardly and then back at the girl standing before them. Her posture was a stark contrast to her appearance; matted brown hair, face streaked with dirt. Her clothing was torn, stained and now covered in soot. And while she...

It should have a different feel. JoTL in some ways was about family and finding yourself. That applied all around, and the Kershak certainly has that mafia style "You can never leave the family." Thorns...well I think that it shares a lot of aspect of the horror genre. How much you will see...
