    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    I pay close attention to what Saerie reveals. I think for a moment about casting Invisibility on her, but then I think twice on it. Farmer Barnum is a Warlock. There is a decent chance that he may sense the ripples in the fabric of magic. I just patiently and studiously watch my companion as...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    Otthor thinks to himself. This must be The Murkendraw, home to Baba Yaga and her infamous Dancing Hut. I reach for the hilt of the elegant Winter Fey blade on my weapon belt. I draw it just enough to see if the sweltering, oppressive heat of this place is enough to trigger its blue radiance...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    Being drawn into it? As in enchantment or like gravity? I toss the lit lantern through the opening. "Quite the contingency," I say aloud. I'm pretty sure this is trans-dimensional magic. I'm consulting my accumulated knowledge to confirm this and determine if I can be lowered on a rope...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    I agree with Saerie that The Fading City is a good way-station for us. Like my home city of Astrazalian, it passes into the mortal world. However, the wildland ruins of Shinaelestra does so every single evening. We might be able to use that as a staging point to recon Winter Fey activity in...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    Audience With the Summer Queen isn't necessary now, but good to know. I would have some level of familiarity with the construction of these types of bungalows I would think. I'm thinking on points of entrance and egress. Spout Lore (Int) 4, 3 +3 = 10 the GM will tell you something...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    Before we turn the corner, I stoop down and whisper to Sadia. "Stay here, my dear. I'll be right back." I then casually walk around the corner toward the two guards; a mid-ranking lieutenant and a low-ranking corporal. As I near them I think to myself...I really wish I wouldn't have just...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    Sounds good. The elf Arborealon is a former active member of the Summer Court elite Ranger unit of which Saerie is a part of. He is now an inactive duty, reserve member due to age and political position, neither of which he wished for, being thrust upon him. Above all else, he hates...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    Every fiber of my being wants to chase Saerie through that portal and run away from this bureaucratic mess I'm about to enter into. I'm not interested in having a parley with a presumptuous collection of elitists, save for Queen Tiandra, that I have no respect for. But I check myself as I...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    Quietly I say "...old friend." I then shake my head and narrow my eyes. "No qualm about sending Saerie to a most terrible fate? She is more important to the security and prosperity of the goodly fey than all of your bureaucrats combined. From my recollection, it was her neck that was on the...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    When I slew the master those decades ago, I didn't take the opportunity to familiarize myself with his family. I should have met with them and helped them grieve. At the very least, I should have been more involved in ensuring their family name was not stained by his legacy. The elven memory...

    1) Otthor returns once called back. It is is home and it is his primary duty to defend the Summer Court. He was glad to be away for the years that Saerie and he tracked down the Far Realm threat, but he has longed to see the mystical wilds of his homeland and the breath-taking art of his...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    Given my acute understanding of magic and keep perception, I would recognize the temporal wave for what it is quickly. Can I sprint over to Farishta and shove her out of the blast as a countermeasure interrupt? Otthor's mind screams "looks out(!)", but he doesn't give voice to it. It...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    I moved to reach up and give her a hand off her horse as she came in so abruptly. With her station-defying attire, her hasty dismount, and flippant quip about our situation, I get an easy read of her nature. "The human phrase 'appearances can be deceiving' does not apply here, I assure you."...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    I'm hoping that this is the voice of Arsalan Khosa and he is leading the remainder of the contingent of infantry and archers that successfully defended the gates against the horde of aberrations. If it is, he doesn't sound to be beating a collected retreat. He sounds like he is coming unglued...

    I let them know that if we are overrun by the mutate horde that the exodus from the city will take the survivors through those lands. They should alert those families of the loss of Giliad's Rest and everyone should make immediately for the nearest well-fortified steading or, better yet, city...

    The Fey, the Far, and the Ugly Space In Between

    * On my way through the barrier forest to Giliad's Rest, I don't even bother pleading with the sentinels to return with me to inside the walls of the town. However, I do warn them of what will soon be coming from the north and the west and to keep their vigil extra crispy. * When I reach...
