    Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VIII

    Calenthang looks at Teleri as if she grew another head the entire time she outlines the party's efforts from her joining them to the recent loss of their most respected friends. To him, it seems very likely that the female elf made a habit of speaking before thinking. He just shakes his head at...

    Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VIII

    Calenthang nods at Sielwoodan and gives Dunstand a significant look, remembering well how Dunstand was anything but the trustworthy companion and the party every bit naive for accepting him so quickly. "That was a long time ago. Friend Dunstand proved himself through his actions, not his words,"...

    Nocturnum - Chapter I

    "Art History, huh? Who's your professor? I'm the Anthropology teacher at College Park," Gabriel replied with sudden interest. "I've done a little research on the place; I'm no expert, but I'm sure I could help you with your paper. Sorry. Gabriel Silber. We met downstairs, but I don't think...

    Nocturnum - Chapter I

    This place needs a professional electrician in here... he thought to himself, giving the carpet and lights a wary look. Gabriel never really got into lighting design in school, but he was sure no lawful inspector would pass this place in its current state, and was pretty certain getting this...

    Nocturnum - Chapter I

    Gabriel wasn't one for movies, including Excalibur, which as he would recall was a horrible rendition of the Arthurian myths that he loved so much. He did however recognize the piece of music, considering O Fortuna one of the most popular if not the best modern choir pieces. Modern compared to...

    Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VIII

    "Test him with what, friend Teleri?" Calenthang asks bluntly, not altogether ignoring Teleri's and Sielwoodan's take on the situation, but not seeing how leashing a scorpion was going to protect them from its poisonous sting.

    Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VIII

    As Teleri outlines her plans, she both catches Calenthang's attention at the prospect of stalking their prey and loses his affection at the mention of "sneakery" and letting the speaker join their numbers. He glances at Laurent with no love for the man, surprised he had the gall to join them at...

    The Ancient Paths - Path I

    ~ Hildor ~ The cleric of Tyr furrows his brow in consternation when Hildor guesses way too high. He places his hands on either side of Hildor's head and begins to pray in a soft soothing voice. Hildor feels the effects of the Tyrran's prayers immediately. It almost felt like he was never...

    Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VIII

    "We should not hesitate to punish this White Brotherhood for their crimes. We should find the ones responsible for leading us into a dead-end in the swamp and do likewise. It is about time we started getting some answers!" he says, slamming his fist on the table. He cracks his knuckles and...

    The Ancient Paths - Path I

    ~ Hildor ~ Hildor's scream doesn't seem to have an effect on the elemental and the rapier scraping against the being's grouted body doesn't even leave a scratch. The situation doesn't seem completely hopeless though. Hildor can make out two Tyrrans sprinting towards him. They probably heard him...

    The Ancient Paths - Path I

    ~ Hrolf ~ "Believe me when I say I have the utmost confidence in your faith in Tyr, Hrolf. The High Cleric and the entire collective chose you and the others because they have the same confidence. I shouldn't have waited until now to tell you that you are the only one of the four that made it...

    Nocturnum - Chapter I

    The hell...? he thought in exasperation. He looked at the mirror closer and rationalized his own human inadaquacies as the cause of the reflection's illusion. The lighting was bad after all. That didn't stop him from hurrying out from behind the curtains into the much brighter by comparison...

    Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter VIII

    Calenthang makes sure to sleep as much as the humans, trying to get as much rest as possible, not knowing when he'd have a chance to do so again. He also eats his breakfast like its the last meal he'll ever have. With people being sucked into books and giant walking fungi making up the better...

    Nocturnum - Chapter I

    Gabriel checked over his shoulder to make sure no one was watching him before he creeped slowly to the silhouetted curtains. Nobody said I couldn't come back here... he thought as he closed in and moved to pull the curtains aside.

    The Ancient Paths - Path I

    ~ Hrolf ~ Braggi welcomes Hrolf into a furnished room in the clergy's sleeping quarters. He offers him food and drink and takes a seat across from him. "We haven't had reports from the caves for two days now," the half-giant says solemnly, waving Hrolf to keep eating despite the grave news...

    Nocturnum - Chapter I

    Something about having untrained volunteers working on scaffolding didn't seem OSHA safe to Gabriel. It was a wonder why Metro's insurance would cover the other girl's medical bills with as fickle as the insurance companies were these days. Gabriel went exploring around the edge of the theater...

    ~ Day VIII ~ Hildor returns to Syrriel in the morning and agrees to help her for one silver piece a day (he gets the feeling that trying to haggle for a better price would probably only make it worse). His first task is to inform his companions that the items they left with her have been...

    The Ancient Paths - Path I

    ~ Hildor ~ Syrriel is found kneeling down in front of a wooden display case in the room Hildor slept in last night. She doesn't seem too concerned, and no wonder; Harad watches her from near the doorway. He nods his head at Hildor and alerts Syrriel to her visitor. "You're the Zhentarim...

    Nocturnum - Chapter I

    Gabriel cocked an eyebrow at the man he had just met. "Uh, listen, buddy, I'm just here to check out the architecture. My co-worker said the place was rumored to be haunted and I thought it sounded interesting..." he said, a little confused by Roger's sudden commandeering of Gabriel's time...
