2022-03-18 18:06:03 +0000 UTC View PostKat’s SUV slowed down, road crunching underneath its tires as it approached the security checkpoint. The armored car that formed the point of their motorcade was already stopped and being scanned by an array of complex machinery while a nearby guardpost kept a machine gun pointed at it.
She knew from experience that the scanners we...

2022-02-21 02:01:23 +0000 UTC View PostSam trudged through the knee deep snow, circulating heat through his body. Even with the magic, the howling wind of the mountain pass was miserable. On either side of him, ice choked cliff faces glinted in the daylight.
He had been hiking on his own for a full day after Crone Tazzaera began her recovery. Only the mysterie...

“Disappointing,” The third prince muttered, struggling to use the Baron’s vocal cords in a manner that wouldn’t do them irreparable harm.
It reached...
2022-01-31 06:42:30 +0000 UTC View PostEryk’s eyes bugged out in surprise. Trevor was to his left, spear at ready while Drekt stood to his right, cleaver in a two fisted grip.
“Strike!” Drekt’s shout broke the half second of surprise.

Micah crested the staircase, spear over his left shoulder. A massive pair of stone double doors stood before him, partially ajar. He reached out with this left hand, pressing it against the cold surface of the door before pushing.
It swung open easily, counterbalances letting it swing smoothly in the channel worn into the room...
2022-01-31 03:07:49 +0000 UTC View PostThe third floor of the tower consisted of a series of testing rooms and laboratories. An hour of searching only turned up the dregs of abandoned experiments, broken crockery, and general detritus. Micah didn’t even manage to find any useful reagents. Everything perishable had faded long ago, and any minerals or salts that had...
2022-01-31 00:05:33 +0000 UTC View PostAfter the battle to secure the gate, actually entering the tower was anticlimactic. The fence posts still spat death,filling Micah’s nose with the smell of burnt ozone as he approached, but the gate itself simply swung open as he extended his hand to push it aside.
Micah walked through the fence onto a narrow cobblestone path. On e...

He had no idea how far his group traveled. He lost count of the number of times they ended up backtracking. At some point it just became a pattern. Wander for an hour in the dark, take a turn that l...
2022-01-28 03:51:42 +0000 UTC View Post“Dodge!” Micah yelled, his Arcana sense screaming danger as the four-armed giant hewn from blue stone lifted its top two hands above its head. Its eyes, gems set into the smooth stone of its skull-like face flashed yellow and green fire seemed to pour from open space, filling the monster’s cupped palms.

2022-01-25 23:52:28 +0000 UTC View PostMicah sighed with relief as their group stepped out of the grass and into the afternoon light. He reached up, wiping sweat from his face before bringing his hand to his neck to touch the enchanted scrimshaw that hung there. Everyone in their group other than Garrat wore a matching medallion, the result of two days worth of study and ...
2022-01-25 19:53:18 +0000 UTC View PostMicah wiped the blood from the point of his spear, surveying the room full of dead grass monitors. Eris was in the corner, nursing an injured arm as regeneration slowly repaired the bruising. Meanwhile, Esther and Trevor walked around the room, thrusting their spears into the monitor’s corpses. In the previous chambe...
2022-01-24 00:46:30 +0000 UTC View PostMicah sat cross-legged before the old man, Drekt to his right and Leeka to his left. Somewhere in the corner of the dark hut, Garrat bounced back and forth excitedly, barely able to hold himself back from the thousand and one questions with which he had plagued Micah and the rest of the party on their trip into Swiftwater.

Micah couldn’t see more than an arm’s length in front of him, his vision terminating in chutes of vegetation as thick as his thumb that rose high above his head into the night sky. He reached out with his left hand, pushing grass out of his way as he slid his shoulder into the gap and barged ...
2022-01-21 14:52:20 +0000 UTC View PostMicah trudged through the forest next to Leeka while Jakaw sat perched on her shoulder, chattering at the two of them amiably. The noon light filtered through the foliage as they made their way back to the teleportation beacon. They’d spent the last night just outside of the dungeon, darkness having fallen while they had fought the...
2022-01-18 19:09:34 +0000 UTC View PostMicah dodged backward, avoiding a line of rainbow light a half second before a Luoca’s tail slashed through the air, shattering rocks of the dungeon floor. He darted in, spear leading the way and claiming one of the monster’s human eyes.
It screamed insensibly, razor sharp wings cutting through the air a half inch above Micah’s...
2022-01-17 18:23:52 +0000 UTC View Post“How are we looking out there?” Micah called out, glancing from the trembling woman that had been the Bishop toward the entrance to the cave. “The ritual is done, do you need any help?”
A second later, Drekt’s voice responded. “There is nothing of note outside. A suspicious flock of birds circled our cam...
2022-01-17 18:23:25 +0000 UTC View Post“But I’m boooooored,” Esther’s voice echoed into the cave. “Micah’s been in there for days poking that sleeping lady, and only Ravi and Leeka are allowed to go hunting.”
“Be quiet,” Eris hissed back. “If Drekt hears you complaining, he’ll just make us spar again. Maybe if we can find Trevor he’ll have so...
2022-01-11 18:30:45 +0000 UTC View PostMicah appeared in a forest clearing, the chill of Elsewhere still clinging to his armor after teleporting. Leeka stumbled past him, falling to her hands and knees as she struggled with the disorientation from her trip through the hostile plane.
Mountains rose above the trees, dark brown slopes that all but disappeared into the clouds...

I’m pretty sure Telivern peed on the ground next to me and it’s starting to soak into my jacket.”
The stag snorted unhappi...
