    The Mystery in Bridgetown

    Cycle: 498: Day: 80. Season: Stasis. Rather than display a look of confusion, the Haunts sneer at Jaguar, because they do not care that they cannot understand his speech.

    Short Straws

    As he prepares himself for the potential of danger, Eitleog says to the others, “My sense of smell is about twice that of most people, but that is still less than half that of most animals. If I can smell this thing, it can smell us. Since it is coming closer, I doubt that it is a dog or wolf.”...

    Short Straws

    With a confirmation of intent from one of his new friends, Eitleog gestures with his head toward Terry, hoping that it, alone, is enough. “This may be the most interesting thing that I have done in my mundane life. I like to think that this unfortunate turn of events that landed us as Short...

    The Mystery in Bridgetown

    Cycle: 498: Day: 80. Season: Stasis. During the holiday season, I had the time to do some reading and editing on my gaming systems. Completed changes have been uploaded to the Google Documents.

    Short Straws

    Kite is surprised to find that both of the others have had, at least, a similar dream, if not the same one. “Everything about it seemed so real, like it was a premonition. If the timing is this morning, even with those faster catamarans, it will take them most of a day to reach this island. They...

    Short Straws

    Eitleog stands with his weapons still at the ready as the armor collapses. He looks around to see if there is any other danger, sheathes one of his swords, and deliberately moves some other show pieces to see if anything else happens. If nothing does, he will put his other swords away. “Well, I...

    Short Straws

    I have completed editing the chapter titled, Character Mastery, and have uploaded the changes to the Google document. I am still working on Mastery Tasks. Though only touching into the knowledge of the field, Terry, thinking aloud, says, “This is not necromancy. It has to be some sort of...

    Short Straws

    It has been 11 years since I wrote the second edition of my gaming system. It has now been played on this site for 8 years. I am currently editing the system and making a few changes. Most changes, so far, are simple vocabulary; however, I felt that the random d100 was too impactful, especially...

    Short Straws

    Eitleog bites his lower lip slightly, as he considers what he is seeing and the words from Coldtree. “I am leaning toward some disaster befalling these previous residents. Since our inspection indicates that it was a great many cycles in the past, it makes sense that none of us know of the...

    Short Straws

    Terry takes a stone from a pouch, cups it in his hand, and causes it to glow brightly with mystical light. He uses his cupped hands to cause the glow to illuminate in a directional manner. “Obviously, I will drop this stone should we encounter any trouble, but holding it in my hand, this way...

    Short Straws

    Coldtree motions for the others to remain still so that he can mystically amplify his hearing, as a means of determining if any dangers lie hidden in the fog. Eitleog can only amplify his sense of smell, which is seriously impeded by the excessive moisture in the air, even worse than vision...

    The Lunaedriac

    Cycle: 497. Day: 128. Season: Harvest. Jade, once again, strikes her only standing opponent. The force of the blow has little effect, but the force of the wind knocks the Deviard back four strides. The three Deviards who had thought to set their own trap to bait the young sailors return...

    The Lunaedriac

    Cycle: 497. Day: 128. Season: Harvest. Jade closes in first and is better prepared than her opponent. She hits the Deviard in the chest with one of their own hammers. This blow is not very effective, but it is accompanied by a pulse of air that shoves the slaver backward about two strides...

    Short Straws

    Eitleog sees his two new acquaintances leave the building but does not understand the sudden move. He believes it has something to do with the strange bird but, again, does not understand why he and Forest are not affected. Unsure if he should try to engage the birds, he leaves his place of...

    The Lunaedriac

    Cycle: 497. Day: 128. Season: Harvest. Though the Deviards are expecting an attack, somewhere, and are wary enough to not be surprised, they are not prepared for a projectile assault, especially not the main group. Falcon and Jade both hit one of the slavers on guard with a thrown stone...
