Part the One-Hundred Forty-Second In which: the party finds that it’s hard to find a good cloak in Siunethrit, despite the cold nights. “I find the nights are colder than I like. Can you make a cloak to warm them?” Lira repeats. Gemil motions his assent as best he is able without benefit of...

Part the One-Hundred Forty-First Welcome to the Empire of Ebis Petros’ tower appears in a desolate stretch of sand. Although by Reyu’s estimation they are only half a day’s walk away from Siunethrit, the city is visible only as a tiny smudge on the horizon. This is ideal from the standpoint...

I don't know if Yoba is evil or not, but I do know that the fact that I have been humming Copacabana for the last week and a half is proof positive that Plane Sailing is. And holy crap, that was a masterwork cliff-hanger. I'm torn between cheering at the sheer artistry of it and gnashing my...

Hey Ham2anv, good to have you! Thanks for delurking to say hello. Sidebar: The Empire of Ebis Although not a whole lot about the Empire of Ebis is commonly known outside of it, the party is not completely ignorant of where they are going. What follows is more or less the information that we...

I'd venture to guess that the writing part of my writing process isn't too different than anyone else's. It's sitting down at the computer with my notes and finding ways to resist the impulse to avoid doing the work. At the end of last year, I found myself severly underemployed where I was...

Note: this update is a whopper (1800+ words), nearly twice as long as I like to make an average post, and with a graphic to boot. So be forewarned that this is more of a lunch break read than a coffee break read. However, there just wasn't a good place to cut it in half. I trust you all will...

Part the One-Hundred Thirty-Ninth In which: Eva finds her situation is even more complicated than she would have guessed. Eva sits huddled in the corner of her room. The door is locked and barricaded, and the windows are shuttered and barred. She has never felt more vulnerable in her life...

Yippee! Updates! So he's kind of... lame?

Part the One-Hundred Thirty-Eighth In which: Alirria rises. The last days of February are always filled with anticipation in the Halmae. The cold days of winter are coming to a close as Kettenek’s power wanes. The days are growing longer and warmer as spring approaches, bringing with them...

Piratecat, Sagiro, thank you both for your kind words. I actually had to phone Fajitas when I saw Sagiro's post this morning to make sure he had seen it. It means a lot to know that you both read and enjoy. Not just because you both write such good story hours yourselves, but because you're...

Part the One-Hundred Thirty-Seventh In which: Anvil the Just faces judgment, and the party grows a little smaller. Reyu arrives at the docks early, and waits for the others to arrive. Thatch is the first, sporting a brand-new holy symbol of The Attendants. Thatch seems quite proud of his new...

Part the One-Hundred Thirty-Sixth In which: Thatch Attends. At the Temple of Justice, Thatch was surprised to discover that one of the messages waiting for the party was addressed to him, sent by one Dame Jenna, a Knight Chaplain of the Lady’s Attendants. He’s familiar with the Attendants...

Twenty sessions, maybe. Twenty updates? Well, it'd be nice if that was all we needed to catch-up. ;) And I have no idea if he reads this thread or not, but I hereby dedicate this update in honor of sagiro's birthday. Part the One-Hundred Thirty-Fifth In which: upon leaving the Academy, the...

In the interests of laying to rest any doubts about the compulsiveness of my note-taking I will point out that the Academy has actually been without a permanent chancellor for even longer. Remember, we got the mission to seek out the archmages on the session played 7-14-02. The former...

Oh that is great. The conversation between Congenio and Annel reads just a bit differently now. Sneaky sneaky. Very nice.

Pfew! You've done some serious reading in the last three days. Glad you're enjoying the story. The last update began the session that was originally played 2-15-04. So, we're running a little less than a year and a half (or approximately two levels) behind. However, when you consider that...

Happy Birthday WisdomLikeSilence! May this year bring even more than you could hope for. Part the One-Hundred Thirty-Fourth In which: we bid a not-so-fond farewell to the Sovereignty of Kettenek, and make a welcome return to Dar Pykos. The next morning, Reyu casts reduce animal on Bob so that...

Part the One-Hundred Thirty-Third In which: Bountiful burns, and we regain a missing member of our party. The winter in Bountiful has been dry. The party has stacked wood at strategic points and worked out their strategy. Eva, Anvil, Benedic, Thatch, and Kiara hold torches. Petros, Annika...
