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

    I quickly assess the situation and eye the narrow ridge leading out of this place. As I see the creature stirring atop the butte, I keep my back flat against the sheer walls of this dried-up reservoir and begin to slowly shimmy toward that feature. I whisper aloud to myself "...if we keep our...

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

    This is a tough one. It is very enticing to head for the Stone Lands. If I can lead them into a Basilisk ambush, petrification en masse may be just what the doctor ordered! Or the Stone Giants can rain boulders from the heavens down upon them. What if the mists follow the mutates chasing...

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

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

    I merely smile at my friend when she says her goodbye. I can tell that she is scared for me. I'm afraid that if I speak she might change her mind. When she turns to go, I fill my lungs fully with the cold night air and exhale slowly. When death looks upon my fate with his morbid eagerness is...

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

    I rise from a stooped position, finishing the final touches on the quickly engineered sled. Absentmindedly, I slowly shake my head up and down as Saerie arrives in camp with her new pack behind her. I can make out the markings of each of the dire wolves trailing her. It was this pack we...

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

    When I have a few minutes of downtime with Three Bird, I ask him for a status report on the group the set out straight from their lodge. They should have arrived at Giliad's Rest by now. "What have you heard from Wandering Wolf or your other men that set out many hours before us with your...

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

    I know there is a strain of primal spirit veneration amongst the people that populate the highalnds. However, it appears that their faith lies at least as much with the God of Battle and Valor. Always fascinated by cultures, history, and belief systems, I've learned much about the people that...

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

    "When we were combatting Piscaetches, the mists appeared to be guided by some kind of unnatural sentience. If this was just an ordinary fog, it would be subjected to the natural elemental forces of the world. It did not shift with the wind. It defied it." I then look directly at Saerie and...

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

    I quickly set to memory the path that Saerie has carved out for us and leap into action after her as she sets a breakneck pace down the treacherous descent! Otthor Primary Skill Athletics + 18 + 2 (SS from Saerie) + b[2d20]. 2, 9. 29 is a success. When we set down onto the open expanse...

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

    Better late than never! Defenses, Attack, and damage reflect Bladesong, given that it will be up most all combat rounds. For the stray round it isn't active, just drop + 2 AC/Attack and + 10 damage. Minor and Major Quests at bottom. Otthor, level 21 Wood Elf, Wizard (Bladesinger), Sorcerous...

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

    I can fainly hear Saerie's words, but when I do, my fading mind snaps to attention. Averandox's tail dangles beneath me. The moment before the Far Realm entity is slain, I feel its grip lessen enough where I can get my legs behind me into a crouching position. I thrust hard off the hard flesh...

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

    As I was saying... Master's Bladework (Int) 2, 4 + 3 (take - 1) = 8 d8 damage (1 piercing) + 2 and Messy (Averandox) , 2 techniques, and your opponent attacks you. 3 + 2 - 3 armor (less 1 pericing) = 2 damage and Messy. Burst: Your attack deals an additional 1d4 damage and gains the...

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

    The mental intrusion of the Far Realm "God" is so overwhelming, I barely realize Averandox's arrival. I feel like I'm stuck somewhere deep in the corners of my mind, a great boot pressing my sense of self firmly to the cold ground. I fight it with everything I have and attempt to assert...

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

    With my free hand, I reach for the staff that Saerie is extendnig to me as one of the goblin brothers grabs my cloak to hoist me back up to solid footing. In the back of my mind, I sense that this is likely the end for me, but that doesn't remotely give me even a moment of pause. I attempt to...

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

    As I see the air freeze in a suspended arch, I don't hesitate. I know Saerie has created this momentary opening for me and I know it won't last. I gather my feet under me on the tentacle and sprint the length of it, leaping to the frozen arch, sprinting the length of that and taking a flying...

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

    Sooooooooooooooo...we have the following problems... - an imminent avalanche that is going to sweep us down the mountain... - a mutated wolf obscured by the green mists lurking out there somewheres... - speaking of those green, mutatifying mists...yeah, we have those spreading everywhere as...

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

    Still at range though with them. So I can Wind Slash, and maybe get some of my 5 HPs back, or Fireball them? I'll deal with The Blood Queen's chomp attack. I have to get this swarm down. Hit Points be damned. Fireball it is. I try to focus my attention on one thing at a time while the...

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

    So we're making our run up the middle through the guantlet of spreading mists that are closing in like a vice. Huge elephant-thick tentacles are now harrassing us from every which way. Can I get a Wind Slash or Fireball off with my Near range before they close in on us? Alright then. Hero...

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

    w[2d10 (ignores armor)]. 8, 5. 5 damage to me. Still reeling from the shockwave, I pick myself up off the ground after we ensure Xanob's safety. My eyes take in the wolf-turned-mutate by the green mist. I point at far end of cliff-face where the other two wolves are being threatened by the...

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

    So the tower is collapsing into a singularity. We're right near it and need to get out before we get sucked in. If I flee now I won't have to defy any danger to escape this thing's gravitational field...or whatever. If I do something else, such as Fireball those wolves or aid Saerie, I will...
