Piratecat's Updated Story Hour! (update 4/03 and 4/06)

[Piratecat]

In addition to new art, it's special bonus story time! I have uploaded Sialia's Dylrath and Teliez: The Demigod's Tutor. It gives a behind-the-scenes look at what's happening in the world while the Defenders are working to break the spine of the White Kingdom. In particular, you'll see how Teliez got where he is today. . . with a few subtle pushes from an unwilling confidante. Highly recommended by me, and contains original illustrations.

Enjoy!

Coooool. Sorry to see that particular story ending. Sialia, any chance we'll see more of Dylrath's adventures?

Cool that you added Dylly's tale there PC!

Oh, I'm sorry, I meant Teliaz'.

You know, I think Malachite's rude actions towards the creepy girl will likely breed only further resentment; plus, it seems kind of cruel. I mean, even Stone Bear, "Mr. Baby Shields" himself, was uncomfortable with Malachite's treatment of her. Anyway, if I were ever forced into apologizing to someone, chances are I wouldn't hold her in high regard. Besides, she only brushed past her; does Malachite act like that towards every child who's a little rude, or is he merely "on edge" because of the creepy kid's taint?

Could be he just had GM's like former ones of mine who liked to have children tagging along with the party who would, without fail, turn out to be either pure evil, or else a vector for the party to get screwed in some way obvious from the first meeting but which we couldn't know IC. After a while, it got to the point where I was seriously considering giving my PC's the flaw of Phobia: Cute Unshockable Kids With Strange Powers.

My first thought on meeting the new PC wasn't "Kill it before it kills you!", which is a very positive testament to the RP in there.

Sounds like someone needs a fluffy bath towel.

Or maybe fluffy bunny slippers?

A few notes regarding the above pdf.


1. It's huge. Like, a megabyte. Mostly, it's because of the illustrations. But there's about 60 pages of text. You have been warned.

2. It's the whole thing, from the time the Defenders were in Eversink. Except that I cleaned it up and rearranged it a bit so it makes more sense. And stuffed a few lines in here and there throughout the thing to help it hold together a bit better.

3. I added two short sections at the very end. If you are one of those kind and patient souls who slogged through the Early Year's version as I was writing this, you have not yet seen the last two bits, as this is the first time they've been posted anywhere. At some point when I have time, I'll stick them in the other thread where they belong.


I don't know any more stories about what happens after this story ends. That doesn't mean there aren't any more, just that I don't know them.

In the seven years it took me to write this thing, I've learned that a lot of things that seem impossible can happen when you give them enough time.

Also that some things end eventually.

Many thanks to all of you who came along for the ride. It was fun.

I'll make one request, for those of you considering your artistic direction. No elf porn! No half clad Maras, no "Tao suddenly finds herself in a bikini fighting tentacles". Please! I'm joking, but only a little.

Oh, you know you shouldn't have told me that.

I'll pay to see all of the above cntxt, so please produce them works!

Great story there, Sialia. Glad you added that ending, working the Cat's little story into Dylrath's tale, felt like it needed something bright at the end there.

Wish I could write half so well.

Siala, I'm only half-way through now, but I noticed a rather nice bit in the beginning:

"It had been his own choice to abandon the life of adventure for the life of academia.

"Sometimes, he reflected, sometimes his own choices were really, really stupid."

(Emphasis mine.)

I don't know if it's intentional, but it's nifty.
