Oh yes. But you know what? I think you highlighted a grammar error. I'm such a sucker for this stuff, but I've been muddling over whether it should be Freedoms Edge or Freedom's Edge. I know, I know, in the grand scheme of things like the universe imploding then exploding in a continuous cycle...

Thanks Herremann, I really appreciate your comments. The earlier posts are a little choatic in pacing/style (as I wandered into the swing of the story hour), though I'm sure you'll enjoy. Please let me know what you think when you catch up. I've also been hovering around the Lucifus Cray story...

bump bump bump. Hey Sniffles - that was a great combat encounter. When I read the "4 ogre shamans, 4 ogre bulls, 7 ordinary ogres, 13 orcs, and a female giant" I had some serious doubts about the attack. Turned out okay though, despite a load of you dropping. Awaiting the next update - by the...

Interlude Number Three: A Tale of Fire The flames licked and crawled over the smooth stone of the mage tower. The brickwork above the first and second floor windows was scorched and dead. The fire caressed a sluggish embrace over the magic hardened walls. Inside the primary study, a boiling...

As I'm sure you have gathered, short interludes get crowbarred into this story from time to time (A Tale of Honour, A Tale of Luck etc) - and this next one ain't Thalin's. It's one for the man in red - his name is Robar (I couldn't quite remember whether I had dropped his name in yet, but...

Hey genshou. Engaging writing so far - character development is very strong for this early in the posts. I'm looking forward to reading more. Kick me awake when the Bulette Warband show up. ;) Spider J

Nice story hour angle you've got yourself here. Hope your players enjoy Carceri - though I've heard it's become a bit touristy in the past couple of years. Shame. Anyway - it will be nice to read through the DM mechanics of the game as it progresses. Spider J

thanks, the players and I always had a really strong visual sense to the chronicle - we often began each session by talking over the events of the preceding game and what they would have looked like. This usually ended up with us all picking on Torious's character for charging in when he should...

Nice one Hairy Minotaur, great writing. Quote of the day for me. So yeah, miscount on trolls means trouble - but did the trolls start fires when they attacked?!? Defenders in desperation? A seige? A Baatezu! or maybe... or something... or... oh whatever. Tell me what happens. Spider J

Cheers guys... you keep reading, posts will keep on coming. :) I think I mentioned earlier about setting out the stats (seems like a grand time to me, as we are sitting comfortably in the tangent between two story arcs). So, here is a run down of the characters as they exit the mines - *i...

"You will never defeat me mage, my steel is feared throughout the Dales!" Torious staggered back as more blows rained down from the Banedead claws. His skin shredded and with very little healing power left, Torious uselessly waved Justicar in front of him. The Banedead closed swiftly for the...

"They cannot be hurt!" Torious slid out of the other side and breathed in deep gulps of air as he turned back and offered his hand to Thalin. Grasping the priest’s hand, Thalin pulled free of the walls as the blade hummed again and slid even further. The walls ached in reply. Milo passed under...

Nice one Funeris. Gritty as hell at the moment! When does the sun come out??? Actually, screw it, I'm loving this so far. The departing souls was well placed - good description all round actually. Looking eagle-eyed for the next update. Ever a fan, Spider J

Hi skullsmurfer, I'm currently reading through the posts of this so far (about mid way - just met big rat & orc in the sewers) and I really like this. I was a little thrown by the shifting conversation at the beginning(spider means he was confused, but remains complimentary), but as I got used...

Good good. I'm glad you enjoyed that one! The PC's really were running for their lives - they knew that if they slowed down, the dwarves (not to mention that raggamuffin Lyle) would be way too much of a fight in their current state. Shame for them that Lyle has still got a trick or two up his...

"Only enough to run" Thalin turned and went to call back Milo. His voice spasmed as a black-feathered bolt whistled into the back of his right knee and exploded through the kneecap in a wet shock of blood and gristle. “Your time is ended mage! I have come to claim my vengeance,” shrieked Lyle...

Hey Black Bard! Nice to see you back - likewise, I saw you over on Icemist. Thanks for returning... the original posts have been largely rewritten/re-edited/re-thought-out because I wasn't so happy with what I had written back then. You sly dog you! Beating me to my own teasers! Yep, I'm...

[Commercial Break 2] Hello again! Thanks for reading my story hour. I appreciate your time. I'm sure you skimmed over the first commercial break - so this is same old format, mostly new stuff. As always, I'm a fan of the younger story hours out there I am spartacus. Got a little bit of...

Yeah, that was a great update. Bacillus is characterised beautifully - all that maggot slinging and beetle flying makes for a really engaging scene. I for one hope that this interrogation/torture goes on for a few more posts! Spider J ps - "like a snake in an oil slick" (loved that)

"This had better work!" - - - - - - - - - - Lyle knew his revenge was close. He dropped the last of the onyx gems into the skulls of the dwarven bodies. Stepping back through the unearthed burial ground, Lyle admired his handiwork. Ignoring the ethereal clawing of the enraged spirits as they...
