Time to Get to Work

“What!” Sienna snapped.  She walked over, looking between the ground and shroom, and saw the truth in the boot prints.  “Explain this,” she demanded. “It’s something that can’t be explained,” Melbourne casually answered.  “There has to be some magic letting them through; although they’re not known for ever having such magic.” “Would not a prisoner…


The Fruits of Evil

Being among the shrooms, as they were over 40 feet in height, and over 15 feet in diameter, Fawnlum felt crowded, after hours of walking.  The things were nearly as plentiful as the trees, thinning out in some areas, and then becoming denser again. But she had also noticed dead branches on trees, and decomposed…


Hail the New Heroes

As the city wall came into view, Gritcomb asked Lucas what his part with these barbarians might be.  Lucas again told his story. Particles of fine silt fell out of Gritcomb’s whiskers as he shook his head. “Ye’re luckier than ye deserve, lad.  Maybe ye were meant to come with the big girl on this…


The Road to Danger

Fawnlum met Lucas at the gate of the Plavence the next morning. She took a careful look at his injuries.  “They did good work.” “It will take time, but the rest will heal.” “Dwarves of Hammermound,” she said, “Lucas Vwerlon.” Lucas bid the group a quick greeting, and received likewise in return. “Don’t worry over…


Buy a Drink, Make a New Friend

Her comrades, save Caitlyn, were all asleep when she called them into her room. After she gave the whole story, Sienna was quick to speak up. “Hold on. The trouble is in Humboldt. Does this Osterly place have an enemy on their doorstep?” “I won’t be chasing around with a mob,” Fawnlum said resolutely, “hoping…


The Best Place for Information

Fawnlum took the time to sight-see a little more, and got lost down more than one street. The night was full on, when she finally found the Gold Pewter.  Instead of a mild and mannerly place to reflect the more refined side of such a prosperous town, this was a rougher and louder establishment.  Although…


The Gift of Courtesy

Fawnlum and Lucas traversed the city and found their way to the Plavence – – the estate of Henbrace’s wizards. The buildings inside the fenced perimeter were old, but did not show deterioration. Not many people were gathered, but the Plavence was still a popular place this morning. Messengers came and went, as if the…


A Very Different City

As Fawnlum met travelers and caravans on the road, the news was always grim.  She pushed her friends faster to their destination. Even motivated Sienna admitted to fatigue, when they trudged up to the northwestern edge of Henbrace, many days later. “I thought it would be bigger,” Fawnlum said. “It’s more quality than quantity,” Lucas…


The History of the Coast

The sun rose over Dumian, and Baneck walked into Morgy’s store, as she was tallying a merchandise log. “Good morning, darling,” she called out.  Then she made a few more marks with her quill, and sent her worker out, leaving the two of them alone. “Do you have the orgite?” he asked her. “This way,”…


The New Recruit

“Why?” he asked, bewildered. “I want you to join us as our wizard,” she calmly answered. “You’ll earn your way by fighting alongside us, and get a share of the bounties.  When you’ve built up your stake and I deem it time, I’ll release you from my service.” “Find someone else,” he quickly argued, tenseness…
