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

    Is it feasible to combine sword and spell and Wind Slash the necrotic wave? Burst technique should do the trick. I violently try to shake my arm free, bending it, straightening it, and twisting my torso for leverage! Defy Danger (Str) 6, 6 +0 = 12! Wind Slash (Int) 4, 3 +3 = 10 Deal your...

    1d4 damage (no armor). 4 damage to me. Rawr's bulk propels him downward... Athleticism tag. Do Their Thing (Qua) 5, 3 +2 = 10 They do it, as well as one could reasonably hope. ...but his incredible strength and athleticism rights him before he goes splashing into the necrotic goo of the...

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

    Here are my new bonds: Sadia is desired by the Prince of Frost, I will die before that happens. Leonel and I will together discover if he possesses the Bladesong within him. Rawr shares my fiery temper when challenged; the Winter Fey's frozen resolve will wilt before us! Defy Danger (Con)...

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

    I'm going to have to give my position away in this dark and forbidden place no matter what, so I go ahead and do it straight-away. When I finally come to rest, I draw my sword and speak the arcane words to imbue it with the light of a torch. Cast a Spell (Int) Light on sword 5, 3 +3 = 11 An...

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

    Leonel and I know that Rawr is tasked with protecting Sadia going into this, but our eyes immediately go to her nonetheless. When Rawr envelops her in his furry bulk to protect her, we instinctively move to protect each other. He could easily teleport to safety. He does not. Instead, he...

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

    End of Session * Bonds – 3 bonds resolved so 3 xp: Saerie’s connection to the young girl of Giliad’s Rest fascinates me. I wasn't there when the girl's family was slain and the bond was initially formed. But I know a maternal instinct when I see one. I think I understand as I'm developing...

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

    No getting back to sleep and I've had more than a few hours of uninterrupted rest. While Saerie is gone, I unload my bag of books from my pack and research "Eye of Moon Seer". Spout Lore (Int) Spending 1 use of Bag of Books 4, 4 +3 (take +1) = 12 The GM will tell you something interesting...

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

    Alright. Back to it. So I'm at the top of the crumbling stone stair with Rawr. This giant constrictor is darting toward me and he's just spit a glob of acid at Rawr and I. Korshek has just lobbed some mini-boulders in our general direction. I know Rawr got into a pretty good tussle earlier...

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

    Here is what I want to do. Thunderwave knocks man-sized things around within ten feet. Can I sheathe my sword and cast that with that hand and get this fey giant off of me? I don't want to prone him, I just want to break this grapple. The Moonfire's burning radiance is a relative nuisance...

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

    I explode into action, dashing forward and somersaulting under the spear turned constrictor. My intentions are to meet the giant halfway, in reach of the sting of my blade. Also to keep him out of reach of Rawr's instinct to tear him to pieces. As I do so, I shout to Saerie. "Keep Rawr...

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

    I move to Sadia, place my hand upon her shoulder, and begin spellcasting. I feel a hand grasp my wrist. "I will protect her. I swear it." I look at the intensity in the young eladrin's eyes and slowly pull my hand away as I do. "I believe you." Obviously Leonel is following Saerie and...

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

    A quick heads up. I just updated my character in post 333 to reflect the change from Audience With the Queen to Legacy with Leonel's stats. Also, with the change to Rawr's stats and Instincts, I changed my bond with him to mischievousness from stubbornness. Saerie's bond would need to change...

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

    I look straight ahead up the broken stone stair to the ruined tower from where the voice originated. I'm quickly trying to recall the military order that manned this tower. Spout Lore (Int) 6, 3 +3 (take +1 military) = 13 The GM will tell you something interesting and useful about the...

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

    I notice Leonel subtly beaming as he and Saerie come back to greet us. They exchanged words so I suspect she paid him a complement. I can't stifle my smile. I turn to look down at Sadia when Saerie asks us if we're ok. She looks up at me, returns my smile and nods demonstrably. I look back...

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

    When he sees the proud bear under siege, Leonel snaps into action. Without any provocation, he calls upon the magic inherent to his race. Bamf (limited-use, near-range teleport) Aegis of Shielding (Defend Near range w/ +Quality) 5, 2 +1 = 8 Hold 1 for: Halve the attack’s effect or damage...

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

    I stare down at the oddity of the satyr warlock-as-carpenter affectionately petting his gigantic croc-as-pet. "Yes. Coin well spent." When Saerie turns to go I follow her away. The blue light of the enchanted blade should suffice here. I wade through the swamp with her, blade below the...

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

    The wind is knocked out of me as I'm abruptly forced onto my back. As the chains wrench my heart and press in on the fine armor protecting my torso, I work to get the necessary air into my lungs to speak the complex arcane tongue that powers my spells. Cast a Spell (Int) Moonstride 2, 4 +3 = 9...

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

    I'm not certain something is wrong when the cold pall settles over us. Nonetheless, my hand instinctively goes to the hilt of my sword. Half-drawn, the pale blue it was shedding due to the heat becomes increasingly indigo as the dropping temperature begins to bite at our flesh. When the...

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

    I wait until the fog causes me to lose sight of my circling companion. I stand there very casually, one hand thumbing a loop on my weapon belt while the opposite rests easily on the pommel of my sword. "Lovely night for some carpentry, friend." Farmer Barnum is obviously high strung with a...
