Even if it wasn’t #InternationalWomensDay, I would still want to share this video of this young woman in China using hard work, resourcefulness and creativity, to do a lot of great things with simple materials.


We Were Few, And Evil Rejoiced. Then We Attacked.

Fawnlum did not ask any questions, spurred by the desperation in Morgenferrin’s voice, but climbed up her offered wing, clamoring up to straddle the base of the dragon’s neck. Taking a firm grip of the frills running down the length of Morgy’s spine,  she reached down to help pull Nepta up behind her, as the…


Escape?

Caitlyn yelled from the perimeter of the firelight.  “They’re coming!” “Caitlyn has told me quite a lot,” Morgy said.  “Good job.” “Thanks,” Fawnlum heartily replied. Fawnlum stepped aside, as Lucas bent over Halrick with his wand of healing. Morgy looked out and away, focusing her own acute eyes from the top of her long neck….


Why Simply Kick the Hornets Nest, When You Can Jump Right In?

Fawnlum rushed over, as Gritcomb fought to muffle Bluntwerk, the red-bearded dwarf shouting his grief. Fawnlum lifted him off the floor, and clamped her hand over his mouth. “What is it?!” she hissed. “The Kettlecot Clan!” he sputtered, freeing himself. “Who?” Gritcomb answered, before Bluntwerk could yell again.  “A family of dwarf engineers, lost long…

Having heard the shout, Nepta climbed up on…


This is How a Warrior Treats Her Captors

An awareness slowly wavered before her, amid the bobbing sensation inside her head.  Somewhere between a dream and a memory, Sienna’s mind was taken back to the time as a young girl, when she had been caught in a beaching wave, and had been spun head over heels. Her sense of orientation was as foggy…


Right Now, You Need an Enemy Spy on Your Side

The barely-there light of the sickly grey dawn was a perfect match for her mood, as she sat, holding Sienna’s saber. “I’ve been played for a fool.” “Well,” Honee dangerously lectured, “the master wizard, or whoever, doesn’t need to fight you, when he can outsmart you.” Caitlyn had found the spot where Sienna had fallen. …


It’s From the Direction You’re Not Looking That Danger Will Come

Repair, as well as new machinations, rapidly took place once they reached their little stronghold. After the second day, as Fawnlum was filling the bigger kiln with cut wood, she asked Nepta, “You sure you don’t want to rest?” “I don’t need it,” the young wizard said.  “My spells are set.  Just make sure everyone…


These Are My People Skills

The foreboding forest greeted them, as Fawnlum led them out of town two weeks later.  They walked along the southwest edge of Windsaeve, trying to avoid any fights at the moment. “Fawnlum, I know what you’re thinking,” Sienna quietly whispered.  “You should reconsider.” It had taken more time, but Baneck had produced what she needed. …
