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

    Ok so I've got those lightly armored taskmasters, these guys are part of Argoth's Far Realm cult, coming from the near cave and I've got the mixed group of 5 plus the 2 dogs coming from the far cave on the left. I'm manning the opening in the tentacle field that I made with Fireball to prevent...

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

    With the three falcons tying up the Warlock for a moment, I'll set my attention on the two myrmidons of group D who are so intent on my demise. I'm testing the footwork of both men, seeing who is the slower of the two. I'll then quick-step circle to the left or right and dash inside the Reach...

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

    Immediately after I emerge from my Void Note teleportation, I put my blade to work on the Warlock retrieving his staff. Master's Bladework (Int) 2, 1 + 3 = 6 Mark 1 xp I've faced down dozens of skilled warriors who don't get the best of me in melee combat but this robe-wearing weakling gets...

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

    In the midst of my sprint to close the distance between myself and the group of myrmidons and their mini-phalanxes, using my warrior instinct and acumen, I try to calculate if I can get another Fireball off on these guys before I close to melee. Any danger in that? Spout Lore (Int) 5, 2 + 3...

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

    Noted. I see the arrow interrupt the Warlock's spellcasting and his staff trickle to the bottom of the avalanche pile. This is our chance. I whisper to the raid force gathered behind me. Rawr and Lucky will surely follow once they begin their mad dash. "I'm going to cut a swathe right...

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

    Well that...certainly was...something.. My heart catches in my throat when the sound of the avalanche from the upper slopes begins. This was not supposed to happen. This puts Saerie flatly in the dangerzone. It was supposed to just be a contained avalanche in the zone below her. When the...

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

    He may not survive the day and he probably will turn into a monster anyway, but Otthor won't kill a child. Even with the world at stake I don't think he could do it. Hand range, right? Can I just grab him by the neck and put an elbow up the side of his head? Deal my damage and try to knock...

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

    I've thought about it. Time to save the day with some quick thinking. In a hushed tone I'll lean into the huddled hunters and Three Bird and give them quick instructions. "Carry on as if nothing was amiss and draw them away from here if you can!" Turning to Rawr, Exel and Xanob, I'll motion...

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

    That looks like my cue! Looks like he needs a show of strength. I step forward eyeing the man intensely, the palm of my hand resting easily on the pommel of my sword. "Earth Shaker can do as he likes...so long as 'as he likes' doesn't include standing in our way. We come as liberators and...

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

    I quickly and quietly entreat Three Bird to communicate with the men before they get too far away. They can either be allies for us against Ranyon Argoth's men or they can be more enemies and needless collateral damage. "Do you command a level of respect or authority amongst your people that...

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

    End of Session * Bonds – 3 bonds resolved so 3 xp: “Saerie has much to teach me about the ways of the world.” I could have likely resolved this multiple times before but I’ve got a nice body of work put together at this point. I’ve now scouted successfully multiple times on the strength of...

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

    I'll do my End of Session after this social scene. I'll have resolved some bonds and I need to think up some new good ones. I'm pretty sure I'll have 12 xp afterwards as well. I'll just be upping Strength by one and taking either Master's Bladework or Arcane Ward with Mutliclass Initiate...

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

    "I trust you to be able to reach these hunters and their beasts. But I will be right next to you, masked from all sight by arcane magic in case they will not see reason." The look in my eyes portrays that I will not relent on this. If things go poorly, I'm going to be right next to her to...

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

    I get to my feet still holding Exel by the wrists. I then pull him up to his feet. When we're standing face to...well...face to belly button I guess, I nod towards his knife on the floor across the room. In a show of trust I calmly say "your knife" in goblin. As he walks over to get it, I'm...

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

    Marked 1 xp for Saerie turning my Hireling Loyalty Move into a 6- "NO!" I'm over the table in a flash, grasping for Exel's wrist that holds the wicked knife... Defy Danger (Dex) 5, 2 + 2 = 9 Success but a worse outcome, hard bargain, or ugly choice. Good deal. I see the knife spin over to...

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

    I will definitely ask what happened to Saerie's sacred bow. When she tells me the sad tale, I'll ask her to please take mine. It has also been in my family a long time. It would honor me if she used it. I grieve quietly at they pyre-site and offer up a silent prayer to the primal spirits of...

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

    I walk up to Saerie and put a hand on her shoulder as I pass. I walk toward the staff that she nodded to and bend down to pick it up as I keep my eyes on the dark distance that Saerie is minding. I flinch at the freezing staff. I can feel the biting cold even though my gloves. I hold it out...

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

    My sword is out before me instinctively. A wry smile appears in the corner of my mouth as I consider just how absurd my defensive posture must look in this situation. Am I to parry the very air! That smile ends quickly enough and words of an ancient magical tongue stream forth as my free...

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

    My eyes are immediately drawn from the flash of teleportation magic at my feet to the flash at Saerie's position where the Winter Fey warrior ends up. I flinch as I see her get the worse of the exchange but I breathe a sigh of relief when she escapes with the bow, despite losing her other melee...
