Dar worked at the granite foundations all afternoon, only pausing to meditate to restore his mana. He’d sat with with Amelia a few times, working with her to mediate together. She was able to pass on some of the techniques she used to get even closer to her dao. He’d also found that being closer to his dao had made meditating and restoring h...

Hi Everyone,
I hope you all are doing well in this very warm summer. I'm hiding indoors where it's cool. Much like my dogs, I'm made for the cold.
Dao Divinity 2 is now complete. I ended up rewriting a decent chunk of the ending. I often end up rewriting sections, which is why I work so far ahead of what's posted on Patreon.

“Did you see Russ this morning?” Cherry chuckled as she, Dar, and Sasha walked away from the village just a little after dawn, headed for the forest.
“Yeah, I think he woke up most of the village as he went to town, trying to carve it out. We might have to ask him to chill out.” Dar shook his head. The gnoll had started on the log ...

Amelia was grinning ear to ear as Dar sat down. “Hunk, you really didn’t tell Mika yet?”
The spirit in question rolled her eyes. “He said he would at dinner; can you stop pushing him so much?” But Mika did turn to him with her most charming smile immediately afterwards saying, “But I’d love to know.”
“Hah, I thought...

Dar wiped the sweat from his brow and looked at the giant tree section sitting to the side of the central hearth. It had taken most of the village, and half the afternoon, to move it, and he was still amazed they’d managed to do it.
“What now?” Shelia asked.
“Now we start carving a boat out of it.” Dar stated simply, knowin...

Trapped in the webs, Dar worked to keep himself from panicking. He needed to work his way out of the situation. The town and the world needed him, and if he was going to take down the devils, he needed to be able to handle this group of low level devils. This wasn’t where it all ended.
Relaxing his body, Dar worked to focus his mind. One...

Dar groaned back to consciousness. “That feels good.” Sasha was working him to completion, and he groaned in release.
Sasha pulled off and licked her lips. “Morning. You slept in this morning, and I thought you deserved a nice wake up call.”
“Not sending Amber this time?” He teased, remembering the last time.
She pl...

Dar ended up stopping by his hut and letting Amber do just what she offered, which she seemed immensely pleased by tucking it away with an affectionate kiss.
He didn’t really want to show up for dinner, sporting that hard on, and he wasn’t sure if he was going to be able to get it to go away with his dinner companions. Especially not w...

“Thank you for protecting Shelia.” Rex said once they had gotten clear of the woods. The chittering of the spiders within hadn’t stopped, though. It sounded like there were many just past the tree line.
“No problem at all. We are all in this together.” Dar leaned against a tree and looked back at the forest to see if they would f...

“Like actual devils? Not a demon?” Dar wanted to confirm.
“Does that look like a demon?” Frank waved his ax at the Ettercap.
Dar didn’t want to admit that he still was learning all the differences, so he just took Frank’s word and focused on the issue at hand. Regardless of what it was, it was a danger to his village and ...

Dar blinked and realized he was once again inside his inner world. Overall, it stayed the same with every visit. But this time there was one new addition.
The orange tree sat in the center of the clearing. Cherry was walking excitedly around it, inspecting the new arrival.

Bart held up a clay bowl as he sat down with a particular grin. “The kilns are up and running. Got a crew of gals keeping them furnished with pottery.”

Dar had spent more time with Sasha than he’d planned on, but every moment had been incredible. By the time Sasha had rolled over, curling up next to him with a soft smile on her face, the daytime celebration had wound down and people were enjoying dinner by the communal hearth.
As he walked over, Dar saw the group of leaders sitting toge...

Dar stepped within sight of the village and the demons and spirits exploded in applause, hooting and hollering as he came back with the demon.
“Put her down.” Sasha came forward and Dar did, though he was ready to take her out if she attacked Sasha.
He noticed Sasha was ready too, her ribbons peeking out of her dress in case she ...

Hi Again!
Things are still running smoothly on the writing front. I just had a trip with the family and I’m still ahead of schedule for DD2. I think it’ll only get better as I’m starting to dabble into the intros of books ahead of time now. Helping flesh out and mature some of the ideas before I really put the book under my focus.

Beatrix got over her surprise, and I could see the smile under her veil. “I’ll be the best little snek you could ever could ever hope to have.”
“Then it looks like we both won in some ways.” I bent down and cupped her huge chest, pulling a nipple up for me to lick and nibble on.
She squirmed underneath me, her tail flailing...

Dar blinked awake, his arms still wrapped around Sasha’s soft, curvy form.
He let his fingers sink into her, savoring her body pressing against his for a moment longer.

Kissing her neck, he teased. “I do hope you weren’t expecting someone else i...

As Dar carried Russ into the center of the village, people scrambled to make way for their injured towns person.
“Dar, we have this table ready for you.” Sasha guided him over to a low table.
Setting Russ down, Dar was nearly pushed aside as Russ’ women circled the table defensively and wouldn’t let Sasha approach.

They stepped off the wild trail and onto a path that had been worn down in the few days they’d travelled it.
Up ahead, the village sprawled out, a collection of small huts nestled up against the stone cliffs and following the new palisade wall out from the cliffs. A few caves in the cliffs were enclosed by the partially complete palisade...

We walked into the arena, as they had called it, more like a small colosseum. Monster girls filled the stands cheering on the current fight.
A large hippo girl was holding a man down into the sand, getting her fill.

I'm not sure what the formal title of this will be. Urban is growing in popularity and today I was ahead enough on Dao 2 that it was a fun write day.

It was like a switch was flipped. I still knew everything I did a moment ago.
