After nearly a ten-day of rest at Klingger’s, the dwarves arrived, thanks to the speed of Fawnlum’s messenger, with fire in their eyes. “If you stick with me,” Fawnlum told them, “the tri-cleorps will come to you, since we killed their holy figure.” Gritcomb slapped the top of his head. “Hoots, mon,” he exclaimed, a…
Eyes in the Darkness
“You can make it from here,” Bik’nar told Fawnlum. With the uzruuls’ own night vision, knowledge of the forest, and concealment enchantment, they had guided the Coastals back toward East Osterly. Fawnlum took stock of her comrades. After brief snippets of rest – not even using their nests – and less food, they were in…
We Find Comrades in Strange Places
It was risky, given how dark the murky daylight had become, but Fawnlum kept her party outside the nests, and around a small fire for a little longer. Even though the haunting dread did not gnaw at them inside the compartments, she still wanted them to stretch their legs. “So,” Sienna said, from the other…
Good Profit, Bad News
When Morgenferrin had asked Shrehvone for pieces of the Segune Tree – the sacred and ancient timber, blessed with the realm-touch of the elves’ gods – rooted in the center of the elf-home, he had come very close to ordering her execution, she was sure. Not that he had not been tempted centuries before, she…
Evil is Building, the Storm is Coming
As Caitlyn and Dreighton sat at their small fire, playing their part as decoys, an unexpected guest silently padded up. They watched as she came closer, approaching as if tamed. “Well-met, spirit-wolf,” Dreighton said. “What are you about?” The creature drew closer, looking around and quietly growling deep in her throat, growing more agitated. Then…
The Power of an Idea
For a ten-day since finding the boundary marker, they had traveled deeper. As they sat, passively bearing the dread of the living shadow around them, they heard the occasional rustle of leaves, letting them know they were still in the world of the living. They had something to cook, but no ambition to do so….
First Time Overseas
After jogging northeast for four days and making good time, Fawnlum reached the port town of Rijult. Now she and the rest of her company walked briskly along the docks of the trade city, to keep up with Sienna, who had secured passage across the Brierren Channel. “You’re not putting us in a leaky rowboat,…
The Bargaining Table
She looked at him, still light-hearted. “You’ve wanted to ask me that for these many months, haven’t you? “You do know that when I give my word, it’s good,” she answered, still pleasant in her tone, but serious in her eyes, being very tolerant, in dragon terms, of someone asking such a question. “I know…
The Local Dragon’s Past
She took a sip of her ale. “I was involved in a certain conflict in the land of Calador, as some of the current generation knows.” She spoke slowly, without a hint of her usual good humor. Maybe it was because she had powers of persuasion, or because it was a chance to learn something…
The Idiot Hero
After nightfall, Baneck and Torsar entered Morgenferrin Copprin’s tavern – – The Watchlight. Easily the biggest and swankiest place in Dumian, or the continent of Khostead, for that matter, it was right next to Lady Copprin’s inn and store. She had many other such businesses; but these she personally worked as her base of operations….
