For a couple of adolescent boys, catching a satchel full of Welcome Crabs is not only fun, it becomes a bit of a competition. The two are so successful that they regularly eat and drink their fill of fresh water four times in a day. The crabs are available anytime during the entire Cycle, and a...

Jalakaag touches his right hand to his forehead, as is the formal greeting, then takes the satchel and gestures for Whiron, giving one last glance over his shoulder at the woman, realizing, possibly for the first time, that she is pretty.d10 = 2, 6

The clerk was a young Ansylin woman, not too many cycles older than the two boys. Being under the pavilion, she had doffed her hooded cloak that was to protect her from the Daylight. Ansylins do not grow much for hair. Like nearly all that did not reside in the Flats, the clerk had shaved her...

Cycle: 498: Day: 83. Season: Stasis. Due to the foliage and the crooked manner of the path, Jaguar and Whisper are only about 6 strides from the source of the laughter when everyone sees each other. Disappointing and possibly frustrating, it is not the witch in question but four Centrin girls...

Jalakaag looked around like it was necessary to make sure that the gesture was for him but was fully prepared to comply despite his pointless scanning. He shrugged and gestured with his left toward Whiron as if to ask, “Well?”

Normally following with one adult or another in their lives since they had been physically capable, Jalakaag and Whiron had never really known anything but labor. Of an age to want a separate identity from one’s parents, they needed to make their own way to the pavilion, if they were ever to...

Cycle: 498: Day: 83. Season: Stasis. No words, special movement, or materials are required. It is simply by will alone that the two young men can manipulate waylines to generate damaging effects, but not before each viper pulses its bite. The physical harm to the two Bridgetown residents...

Jalakaag snickered at the comment from his friend whom he did not realize had walked up on him. Being tall and already showing what would become the thickness of musculature, he did not worry too much about other children attempting to prank him. Life in the sun had made his already dark skin...

The description of a character is irrelevant to the function of that character, but it does help with ambience. I will not be using any advantages nor especially disadvantages based upon the advent of birth. All characters in this scenario are considered to be the same species and can be tall or...

Jalakaag stood in the mud and lifted a hand to his eyes, to squint at the rising Daylight. He scratched his head and donned his hat that he had been holding in the other head. He was tall for his age, or at least that is what he had been told. Still an adolescent, he was already frustrated with...

The city of Ansylim is built near the mouth of the Crystal River, which flows across the desert known as the Burning Sands. Its head is in the mountain range called the Dragon’s Footprint. Aside from the vein of life provided by the river, the desert, as a whole, is inhospitable dunes of sand...

The giant burning orb, commonly called the Daylight, slowly rose in the sky, climbing above the far horizon, on the other side of the river. The other side of the river held the parts of the city that were important to those that mattered, the parts where the residents were free to move about...

Cycle: 498: Day: 83. Season: Stasis. Climbing down the small, satellite pyramid to follow the footprints, one cannot fail to notice the diversity of life supported by the surrounding swamp. There is a far greater concentration and variety of insects and songbirds, here, than either young man...

Cycle: 498: Day: 83. Season: Stasis. The secret door moved with a smoothness that belied its size and stone composition. It did not really matter if it was magic or technology. The benefit was that it was quiet. This new hall was not decorated but it was illuminated with more lit braziers so...

Cycle: 497. Day: 139. Season: Harvest. The party does not specifically need to scale any cliffs or use their hands much, but the mountain is steep, and reaching the base of the spire, atop the peak, takes a total of four days. Nothing of a threat is encountered during the climb, and the view...

Cycle: 498: Day: 83. Season: Stasis. Without the benefit of any aid other than their own skills and talents, the necessary recovery time is agonizingly long; but fortunately, it does not have to be spent being completely inactive. Jaguar is able to generate his own light using one of his stone...

Cycle: 498: Day: 83. Season: Stasis. Each of the three spiders flexes the bite causing more physical harm and injecting more venom. The two young men prove to be quite resilient against the toxin, but the physical damage is quite significant. Jaguar Mahoao knocks one the spiders away with...
