Plans for April 28-May 3

I got another chapter done today! I wasn't sure if it would happen because I was super busy with my audiobook giveaway -- if you haven't commented on the post yet to sign up yet, you have until Sunday! -- and because I went to lunch with my wife for my birthday, but I managed to sneak it in.

It's getting relatively near the end. The firs...

There was a line to get into the Crestline Gorge, which was situated inside a pass in the mountain range that surrounded the Ragewater Sea.  It actually led into the mountains and was sealed off on the other end, with the entrance having a massive distortion that extended from one side of the gorge to ...

If there were such a thing as a penthouse suite in the world of Tarth, the Gold-Ranked room he was led to would be it.  It had all of the amenities of the Silver-Ranked room back in Forgestone, only more.  Bigger bed, bigger bathroom, fancier-looking everything โ€“ it had it all.  He knew tha...

โ€œYou have done well for yourself, this one observes.  To the detriment of many of your fellow Contenders in Forgestone, of course.โ€

It wasnโ€™t long before Thaden was forced to make a wide turn to avoid the murdering Contenders walking along the pathway that led toward the city of Rageharbor.  He stayed as far away from them as he could, which only amounted to about 500 feet as he skirted edge of the mountain range surrounding the Ragewater...

The sight that Thaden caught as he looked over the edge of the rock pile wasnโ€™t a good one.  It seemed as though he was a few seconds too late to help, as the commotion was wrapping up even as he peeked down at the scene unfolding in front of him.

A total of 15 Contenders of different races, genders, an...

Thaden didnโ€™t get a chance to check his notifications after traveling through the rest of the forest and finding a place to sleep for the night up in a tree, but he certainly checked them in the morning once he wasnโ€™t tired enough to fall asleep while reading.  He skipped over the โ€œmonster slainโ€ messag...

Expecting to see something similar to the Mausoleum of Despair, which was a massive arena where he was confronted by multiple Mini Bosses and capped off by the extremely powerful Monarch of the Dead Boss, Thaden was in for a completely different experience when he started walking through the tunnel to the Boss cave....

Walking down the dirt tunnel entranceway, Thaden was expecting some more magical torches along the walls similar to the Vogmite Tunnels Dungeon, but that didnโ€™t seem to be the case in The Den.  Instead, light seemed to shine in from random holes in the ceiling, creating spotlights of illumination that seemed ...

While he didnโ€™t have a physical map on him, Thadenโ€™s Mentality had allowed him to essentially memorize the maps he had been allowed to study at the Adventurer Coalition in Forgestone.  Using his approximate starting location around Northbend, he knew that he needed to head far to the southeast toward the ci...

Unfortunately for Thaden, there were no new spells waiting for him when he reached Level 54 nor at Level 57.  He still received a spell selection for each of those Levels, as well as another +36 in Mentality and 16 free stat points; he ended up finally taking Major Lifelink and Major Wa...

Securing himself in the crook of the tree he managed to lift himself into, despite the enveloping darkness of the nighttime forest, Thaden sat back and sighed deeply.  Getting out of Northbend at night was somehow harder than getting in during the daytime, as more and more people โ€“ both Contenders and Charee ...

As much as Thaden wanted to get up from where he had just sat down to confront the Vice-Leader of the Forgestone Adventurer Coalition, his entire body โ€“ not to mention his mind and emotional state โ€“ was exhausted, and not even his righteous anger could get him to his feet.  So he had to settle for glaring a...

To say there wasnโ€™t anyone left within the city was technically untrue, as at the far reaches of his vision he could see City Guards up on the walls staring inside the city, standing as still as statues and lit up by the myriad of magical lights in the pre-dawn light.  And if he was also being truthful, sayin...
