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

    Sparing no pause, I turn to sprint toward the cliffs flanking the pass and leap to the stone. Grasping handful after handful of icy stone, I'm a spider on the vertical wall, shadowing my companion's run up the collapsing snow. Defy Danger (Str) 5 + 5 + 0 = 10 As the landslide of snow, ice...

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

    The sounds of that night still haunt me. Its not the sounds of the fight or the pathetic whimpering of the dogs I was forced to slay that I speak of, but the sounds of the child as the last of the pack faded into the distance. She didn't speak for a long time and I didn't try to make her...

    I definitely want to get straight to the lair and evade combat with the elemental guardians. I place my hand, palm out, behind me to let the men know to "hold" while I scrutinize the landing that the breezeway leads to. I'm looking for the area of the unworked stone wall that has the most...

    I say to the great serpent: "The Primal Beast plagued this world with the Moon Madness? I have indeed made a terrible and implacable enemy. I expect the carnivorous beasts of this place to oppose me all the stronger as my quest culminates. A thousand thanks are insufficient for your gift."...

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

    I stare down savagely at the rabid dogs and bare my teeth. Their eyes are dilated in blood lust and they barely seem to acknowledge my threat as their gaze preys upon the blood covered little girl in my arms. Hastily, I pry away her death-gripped arms that are wrapped around my waist. As I...

    Saerie has no words for the Gatekeeper, but she heeds them well. She will keep a close watch for the spirit that is hunting her. She is sure it is the Primal Beast. He must oppose her because the Maiden of the Moon has sent Saerie here on a mission against his avatars of the hunt; the...

    Rawr has traversed the thorny thickets of these mountains many a times in search of fish from the mountain streams and the berries at the top of the ridge-lines. He will guide my way. Defy Danger (Str + 0, + 1 for Rawr's Cunning). 6 + 1 + 1 = 8. As we discussed, my complication will either...

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

    At the sound of the second scream, the familiar presence of Rawr nestles up against me. I drop a hand down to scratch the fur behind his ears and I feel his tense gaze falling upon the the trail of the creature. I know my friend desires to pursue the trail, but the terror and helplessness...

    Here is my stuff! 1) Saerie 2.0 Dungeon World style! Character sheet attached. Bonds below: - Otthor does not understand the wilds of this place, so I will teach him. - I worry about the ability of Otthor to relate to the humans of this world. - The layfolk of this world are brave souls, I...

    Well, lets puzzle this out, shall we? - The Court of Stars collectively conceded Brokenstone Vale to the lycanthropes, the MotM's sworn enemies, after millennia years' of brutal warfare with the elves/eladrin. - The archfey The Maiden of the Moon has led these elven/eladrin women, who...

    Saerie understands the implications of a cross-over to the spirit realm. I understand the risk. When she lays her head to rest this evening, she will do so without fear and with mental preparation for what is to come. However, before that takes place... Saerie is going to pull out the...

    I don't have any follow-ups or appeals. I think I'm pleased with that. I'll reply to Esmer: Hopefully he responds in the affirmative. If he does, I'd like to ask him the following questions: * What manner of being is this Rotting Man? Does he know a true story or legend? * I've heard of...

    Ok. In order: * I'll politely acknowledge Terilion with a nod of thanks for securing us a seat. * I'll listen to the men flatly, and too brusquely, state their positions. Hopefully it was a bit more congenial before I arrived. * When Esmer brings up the World Serpent's "blessing", I'll say...

    Well, it doesn't appear that I'm going to get some immediate, extended downtime to myself. However, what little I have as camp is made I will use in finding some cold mountain water to refresh myself. After that, I will find a place to camp for the night and join Esmer and Yamel for the meal and...

    Oh what I wouldn't give for Yshelne's Root Gate or Zalil's Arcane Gate right about now. Given the level of peril here, heroic fortune is going to kick-in. This is not there time to die. I'm going to use my last Secondary Skill and Advantage to drop the DC down to medium. Here goes nothing...
