Thanks, Rughat -- we have Jenber to thank for that line of Mena's. Naturally, when she said "whoever" she meant Ehkt. Naturally. Ehkt and his little challenges.

6x01 A stale breeze wafted up from behind the group, hot and stinky like the breath of a drunkard, carrying the stench of sweat and blood and smoke to the balcony on which they now stood. Dead derro littered the floor of the dining hall below. “Stay there,” Kormick whispered. He pressed one...

Announcement! Thanks, babomb -- good one! And an announcement: Fajitas has commented that there is a thin line between inventing a pantheon and inventing a religion, and that (despite our efforts to compare him to L.Ron Hubbard) he thinks of himself as having done the former. At the risk of...

Yes indeedy! The derro warren is where both Twiggy and Tavi get to make extensive use of their abilities to flambé the opposition. Although Twiggy has decidedly mixed feelings about the "flaming ball of death," as Kormick calls it. And you should hear what Acorn has to say about it...

A peek into the future there from Fajitas -- to give you a sense, Ilex's post above was the start of session 4 (which we played in mid-March), and the BRILLIANT character moment that Fajitas just described was from the session this past Sunday, which I believe was session 10. So there's a lot...

Move along, nothing to see here. (which is to say, "edit" post is possible; "delete that thing you posted twice" doesn't seem to be :))

3x05 CRAAACK! The earth shuddered with a GROAN as an enormous tree—ten times taller than the big beech tree at the di Raprezzi estate—RIPPED itself from the ground. It lurched forward, leaves rustling like a herd of horses and roots thumping on the ground with sickening force. This can’t be...

3x04 A shape poked out of the trees, toward the ledge. It was a shape Arden had never seen before. Was it an animal? A person? It had hair like an animal, but stood on two feet, its long arms dangling almost to the ground. Horns protruded from its head. It seemed to be watching her...

A flattering question, Coyote6 -- thanks! I wrote them, and jonrog1 made some enriching revisions.

3x01 Kormick had smelled a lot of bad smells before. Back alleys; tavern privies; fishmongers’ shacks, the squalid rooms of small-time crooks who hadn’t paid up and soon would be screaming about their broken knees . . . Gods, you break man's knees, he just won't shut up about it ... All...

2x08 Twiggy felt a jostling against her arm, and stirred awake, muttering to herself. What was that for? She didn’t need much sleep, but it couldn’t possibly be time for third watch already. The sky was still heavy with dark. The air was cool. Across the camp, Tavi was yelling. “Rose...

and all of a sudden, the reason becomes slightly more clear...

2x06 At the Temple of Alirria, Savina pushed a strand of hair off her forehead as she took a break from stirring soup. She was bone weary from labor. She had healed those she could with Alirria’s blessings, tended the wounds that remained with her mundane healing arts, cleaned floors, changed...

2x05 A man was shouting at Arden in the marketplace. At first, she ignored him. A lot of people were shouting in the marketplace; there was no reason to think that this man was shouting at her. "You! Pretty lady! Red lady!" With a sinking feeling, Arden glanced around to confirm that she...

Hee! Actually, as I recall, this was all just role-playing. Kormick and Twiggy have very different ways of approaching the world. B-)

Ding ding ding! Well done, Rughat! You win the prestigious...um...prize. OK, there isn't much in the way of prizes. But certainly, all the prestige you can eat. As for Spyscribe's character...we'll keep the suspense alive. But allow me to whet your appetite with a possibly misleading clue...

After a harrowing night of socialites and street-brawlers, our party has secretly teleported to the City at the Boundary of the Blessed Lord's Edge (commonly known as Lord's Edge) in the Sovereignty of Kettenek. Somewhere in the dangerous wilds of the Ketkath Mountains lies a holy spring...

1x05 Midnight. Savina and Arden sat huddled just outside the wall of the di Raprezzi estate, a long rope coiled by Arden’s feet. It was going to be a long, silent wait. Inside, Mena arrived in the drawing room to find Kormick waiting, leaning against a bookcase and flipping through his...

1x04 It was a considerable understatement to say that as Jan Kormick strode into the hall, his stark white robes were conspicuous. Even more conspicuous were the two warhammers he wore by his side. But most conspicuous of all was the enormous silver holy symbol around his neck: the symbol of...
