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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Cycle: 497. Day: 128. Season: Harvest. The remaining Deviards scan the area trying to find Falcon and Jade but to no avail. After a few minutes, nature must take its course, but only one Deviard walks away from the camp in the direction that Falcon had previously attacked. After that one...

Cycle: 497. Day: 128. Season: Harvest. Falcon and Jade are able to recover some much needed supplies from each of their fallen opponents, including some of their taken talismans. Knowing that now is not the time to be more thoroughly examining everything, the items are pocketed and the hammers...

Cycle: 497. Day: 128. Season: Harvest. Both Falcon and Jade likely surprise themselves at the effectiveness of their stealth as they close on their chosen targets. Having decided upon a count ahead of time, Falcon, reaching his enemy first, continues to count down, which gives Jade time to...

At this point, Eitleog simply waits. He does not wish to move from hiding incase there may be a, yet, unseen danger within the room. Moving his head slowly he looks at the statues, trying to determine if he recognizes them. If the others make a decision to approach one of them, he will then move...

Cycle: 497. Day: 128. Season: Harvest. Due to the conditions of the environment, it is a fairly simple matter for the two to flank the Deviard party and keep them in sight without being discovered themselves, as long as they both remain at least 20 strides distant before attempting to engage. It...

Eitleog reflexively checks his weapons as he prepares to follow Terry, not wanting to carry them out but make sure they are ready to draw. He causes his skin to blend with the surrounding, knowing it will still make him harder to see even in a heavily shadowed environment. Immediately upon...

Cycle: 497. Day: 128. Season: Harvest. Gaining altitude as quickly as they can, the two friends have no need to be overly concerned with any noise they might make. There are always sounds, even cascading rocks. Two people will make little difference, but 14 people may create a pattern of noise...

Gretda shakes her head. “My friends, you are looking into the wrong thing. Terry, your talent is like mine where we affect other things. Coldtree, you mostly affect yourself.” She takes one coin from each of the bowls then tosses them back in. “Metal can enhance bending, but it is destroyed in...

During his time exploring the area, Eitleog, because of his affinity for them, would have acquired any feathers, from the breeding birds, that might have attracted his attention. “Forest may be onto something. This looks like it was perhaps a temple. I think these two statues were for offering...

Cycle: 497. Day: 128. Season: Harvest. As they already knew would happen, Jay and Jade were quickly subdued, having no chance, being two against ten. While the malevolence of Deviards was well-known by the general populace, they were not psychotic. Jade woke to find herself bound and sore but...

Cycle: 498: Day: 80. Season: Stasis. Incinerating the bats happens to be a simple matter. Guano is extremely flammable, so much so that it is sought as a fuel source by smaller communities. Once Whisper gets the fire going, it accelerates rapidly, making a thick column of black smoke rise into...
