Thanks, StevenAC! Stay tuned... :)

16x02 Twiggy had imagined how this would go—they’d stop the heresy and return to the High Pass estate, where they’d get to see Lady Oroko Cho and her husband-to-be happily wed; they’d celebrate and rest; they’d experience the gratitude of the Estate . . . But those things were not to be...

16x01 Wind whistled through the cracks of the storage cellar as, for the briefest moment of silence, Tavi took stock of the situation. Guards continued to pile into the room, and in seconds, the party was surrounded by nearly a dozen armed men. The guard captain, Yutaka, stood among the boxes...

on a side note Happy birthdays to spyscribe, jenber, and thatch, all of whom have birthdays on or around now! It's a pleasure to make stories with you.

15x04 "It is a forgery," Nyoko announced, straightening up from a close examination of The Lady's Ways. "A very, very fine forgery. I doubt even I would have noticed the telltale details if I hadn't been primed to look for them—" "What are the details?" Mena asked. Nyoko pulled one of the...

Just to keep everyone up to date -- it's deadline-o-rama here in Halmae Central, so we're all a bit crazed. "Law & Order: Hillside District" will update soon! :)

14x03 It would be five days’ travel to High Pass Village—the estate of the couple to be married—and Mariela had delayed them by nearly a day. She never makes anything easy, thought Twiggy. They pushed hard on their first day of travel, and the exertion kept Twiggy from dwelling too much on...

Thanks, Seonaid! Yes, Illusory Ambush is a great spell -- it's an at-will power that does 1d6+4 psychic damage and gives the opponent -2 to its attack rolls until the end of my next turn. For some reason -- I don't remember what it is now (maybe a feat?) if Twiggy hits with Illusory Ambush...

14x03 To Twiggy, it seemed like everything happened at once. Arden—who had somehow managed to sneak around everyone—ducked behind one of the guards and, with the pommel of her dagger, clocked Mariela in the head. Mariela squawked with pain and vanished, re-appearing a few feet away, her...

Hey there jydog! I'm enjoying reading about your exploits. It sounds like a good actiony game and I like watching the characters grow. Thanks for sharing! :)

14x01 “Roseanna di Raprezzi, Octavian di Raprezzi, I am taking you home to your mother. NOW.” At that voice, Twiggy's blood ran cold. Twiggy—and more importantly, Acorn—had just been enjoying the fresh breezes on the road after the sulfur stench of Cauldron. Twiggy had been musing that...

12x05 Savina rolled her neck softly as she walked into the great hall. As talented as she was at healing, she had never been able to figure out how to give herself a massage. Now—after not only a massage, but also a bath, a new set of clothes, and some time with a very talented...

Sidebar: The Affirmation Again, from the pen of Fajitas (as conduit for Lord High Regent Rikitaru Nori): This is what Twiggy and Mena read.

Sidebar: The Sovereign Creation Myth Chapter I In the beginning there was the earth, and the earth was Kettenek, and it was good; But the earth was vast and wide, and there was nothing to fill it; And so Kettenek brought forth the plants and the animals to fill the breadth of the earth...

We have an awesome GM Just to give you (the readers) some background -- Characters and players alike sat at the table listening to the Sovereign Creation myth furrowing our brows and shaking our heads at how awesomely, strangely different it is from the Halmae theology we've come to know and...

12x04 The water never got cold. One of the few benefits of living in the crater of a volcano, Twiggy mused, was what seemed to be an endless supply of naturally-heated water. And she appreciated it—both she and Acorn remained in the bath until her fingers had shriveled and her skin smelled...

Sidebar: The Ringed Circle -- Sovereign Government The Wise and Righteous Circle that Encompasses the Whole of the Lord’s Government The formal government of the Sovereignty, often referred to simply as The Circle, is divided into seven separate divisions, known as Rings: The Ring of...

12x03 Please, Chelesta, don’t make me go in there, Acorn begged, attempting to burrow deeper into Twiggy’s pocket, away from the gate to Cauldron. It stinks! Twiggy moved him to her bodice, where she thought he might be a bit more sheltered from the odor. I agree, Acorn, Cauldron is not the...

Update on the update The update is STILL coming soon -- promise! -- but in the meantime, please enjoy this special sneak preview of the session we played last night. (Session 20, for those keeping count).

good news/bad news The bad news: No update today. The good news: There will be an update soon! StevenAC: I second the thanks for all your excellent PDF work. You are correct in assuming that we had hit level 3 shortly before session 12. And I must say, I was delighted with the...
