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

    I peruse all the merchants' wares and the hucksters' offers. Its tempting, but Saerie definitely isn't the type to gamble, especially when resources are so precious. And she doesn't care for false prophecy either. Peddlars of fortune and swindlers can go hang. I turn to the goblins and...

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

    2 coins :( That isn't so good. That is enough for a Bundle of Arrows but that is about it. We're low on Rations and Adventuring Gear as well. Losing my bag of coins was really not so good. I'm going to have to think this all through here. I figure that these two humans are one of the two...

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

    As Otthor rescues the dog, I'm going to shout to Rawr. "Get up top, Rawr! Now!" I'm thinking that if he can get his weight off of the sleds and the two of us can get top-side, we can probably anchor things and keep the wolves from going over the precipice. He must weigh 350 to 400 lbs, if...

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

    Alright. We're right up against our ration allotment, so we can't afford something to happen there. So no goblins on Quartermaster. I'll have Otthor take care of managing our provisions and overseeing setting up and breaking down camp, etc. With his 8 on his QM check, we'll consume the right...

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

    One thing I forgot to mention in the post above. I'm going to grab one of the large, male alphas and drag him out of the settlement so that I may harvest him when we reach our destination beyond the maddening whispers. I won't ask Rawr to help as I want his paw to heal fully. I'll set us up...

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

    I'm on the run, lighting out after Otthor the moment he accelerates toward the goblins and the converging wolf packs. I trust him to take out the left alpha so my eyes focus only on the other pack and the large wolf with the dyed flank leading that charge. With the wax in my ears, I've heard...

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

    And now Otthor has slain the hobgoblin, but has two wolves bearing down on him! That is my first concern. My second concern is the soon-to-be-free wolves across the central yard. My very last concern is for frostbite or hypothermia. As Blain from Predator would say "I ain't got time to be...

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

    The snow is thick and weighs on my legs. Moving through it is a terrible effort. I'm sure the small frost goblins, though unaffected by the cold of it, are worse off than I am. Nonetheless, I bolt for the structure that they were prying at without a second thought. Defy Danger (Dex) 2, 5 +...

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

    I know it would be pretty dramatic to put one right between each of those guys' eyes and watch them slump to the floor, but I'm thinking it would stretch my abilities to the max to pull that off. Those guys are well armored, trained warriors, and don't pose the threat that the two guys in the...

    Just going to use Tecklenburg's format and stuff discovered: End of Session Move and xp Bonds - None of my bonds have been resolved. Alignment - "Break an unjust law to benefit another." Not yet! * Did we learn something new and important about the world? Several things. We learned...

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

    I thank Otthor for the help in getting Rawr settled in and for the quiver-replenishing bundle of arrows. Before he leaves with his ominous last words regarding the fire, I relay my agreement with the plan. I will do everything I can to find the dog and bring her back with me. I move to the...

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

    The disturbing sounds and imagery that accompanied it when we entered the settlement...I know we shrugged off the effects, but are they still present? Can I still feel the odd rage that came with it? I believe the dog was not affected by this place because its deaf. With that thought, as I...

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

    Unless there is something else alive down in that cellar we were about to investigate, the old dog appears to be the only living, "unchanged" being in the settlement. Beyond just saving him because he's the noblest creature in all the animal kingdom (!), I'd definitely like to know why he is...

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

    By the power of my Bestial Tattoo I call upon ancient primal magic that lets me understand and speak the language of all animals. I call to the dog with a series of short barks and a howl. In its language, I am asserting my will as an alpha and beckoning it to me with the promise of the pack's...

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

    Called Shot (Dex) - Arm (Tendril would basically be an arm here I'm assuming) 5, 3 + 2 = 10 (d8) 7 + 3 (Rawr is in range to apply his Ferocity) = 10 damage and they drop anything they're holding. Alright, the dog is safe and the tendril is down. Score one for the good guys. I'm going to...

    I agree. I assume I'll be attacking a surprised enemy at range here so I can use Called Shot?

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

    I suspect that the footprints are likely the people that left the settlement to go to the Coldlands. I'll mark the structure where they are located in my mind and we will come back to that. I quietly point them out to Otthor as I do and I point away from the settlement, signalling my thoughts...

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

    When we arrive at the settlement, I remove the heavy winter shawl as it has basically become a straight-jacket of ice. It's torn to pieces with the removal. I pull out my backup and put it on. Mark off 1 Adventuring Gear from the Perilous Journey When we arrive at the settlement, as I'm...

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

    When the pack of wolves has fully disappeared in the earthen tunnel, I scratch Rawr's meaty head behind his ears and thump his muscled flank. I say to Otthor: "We can evade that storm if we head out immediately." I cast my eyes skyward and take in the details of the angry clouds. Discern...

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

    I tear my elven longknife from my boot-sheath and from one knee, underneath the muzzle of the great creature, I say: Parlay (- 1) 5 + 4 - 1 = 8 My leverage over him is that I know a passable way out of the highlands. Assuming his posture eases, I'll stand before him and dust the snow off...
