Avonshar: The Horror is in the Knowing. Updated 8/8/03

Erm.....

Someone needs a proofreader. Personally I don't think you should be shaping that kind of thing on a family board. Eric's Grandmother might see

Well, he's not the only one. I have fixed the approximately 32 Misspellings of Casparo's name in the last three story entries (and thanks be to Scorch for not pointing them out before I got to them). All uses of the word Occularum have been replaced with Oriculum (Occularum being the Diamelle of Avonshar).

A note to our gentle readers: a little distortion has occured in the entries for Days 18-30, roughly. My notes sort of up and disappeared for that session, so it's done mostly from somewhat unreliable memory. The issue with the Sandts, for example, is somewhat distorted chronologically...but just a little. :)

Hopefully, I'll have time to scan at the least the 7 most important pages that the Fax machine, errr...I mean, Alden produced. It's fun stuff, and in COLOR!
 

The world of Kestrill

Anankah had been searching for her husband for months. He had said that he was going to Avonshar to seek his fortune and would return to her and their children. Her dark blue hair blowing in the artificial winds created by the 7 league portal, she approached the guard. "please sir. Has the gate to Avonshar been reopened?"
The guard opened his steel visor enough to make the slight human woman out and said "No mam."
Anankah stood staring at the shining portal, the first and last time she had seen it was when her true love had left to homestead and build her and the children a place to live on the "Paradise World" as it was known.
The World of Kestrill was a harsh cruel world but the had made it home even with the frequent dust devil attacks and the lack of any Divine agencies. Ana (as her friends called her) was a strong and determined woman and decided that no guards or promise of further terrors awaiting beyond the portal would stop her from finding him. Before the guards could grab her she was through the portal, trusting in her brother to watch the children until she returned.
Time and space hichaughed around her and she fell butt first onto a raised dias where sat the Avonshar Portal. She had heard of the wonderous city of Bashad but had not ever seen it herself. She was surprised to see such a huge city so devoid of people. The market place was in ruins and deserted, she searched far and wide within the city clutching the one thing her husband had left for her, his crystal.
Then everything went dark.

More, darn it all!

Gah! Now I'm reading TWO story hours from you people!

:p -- Nifft

PS: Can I get the stats on those tongue-sucker critters?
 


It's a little late tonight, but I'll make an effort to scan the pictures from the last installment tomorrow and post them here.

And for what it's worth, I'm ready and waiting for another story run. For that matter, I want to discuss with you possibly retooling my character slightly, but we'll see. :)
