Chapter 16: Meeting a Ghost

I spent what felt like hours telling Soren about Adalinda, how we’d met, and our bond, but in reality, it was only a few minutes. I told him about the spirit binding the Game had performed betwee...

Chapter 15: Consequences

For a long moment, I said nothing.

This was the conversation I had been dreading since I’d activated the Class stone. It was a necessary one, though.

If I wanted to mend the breach in...

Chapter 14: Truth

It took us the better part of the day to reach our destination, but that was more a function of excessive caution on our part than the distance we had to travel. Not sure who we could trust, we kep...

Chapter 13: Getting Out

We didn’t have long to get ready.

Alon was right about the courtyard being the perfect killing ground, and if there hadn’t been such a disparity in numbers between the Devils and us, I wo...

Chapter 12: On the Run

The early morning sun warmed my back as we weaved through the streets of the poor quarter of Mesina. The Devils were hot on our trail and had been since we left the shack that had been Soren and my...

Day Thirty in Draven’s Reach

All eyes in the room were on me, and along the edges, I sensed the guards jerk into belated movement.

“Back,” the marshal snapped. “Hold your positi...

Grand Game 409: The Hiss of Steel

Rumors traveled fast, and a host of orcish and dwarven dignitaries waylaid us en route to the council hall. Before the chief, thane, or myself had a chance to exchange more than curt farewells, the...

Grand Game 408: Mopping Up

I sagged down onto the corpse. “Well, that wasn’t too hard, was it?” I murmured.

Ghost looked at me askance, unable to tell if I was joking.

Chuckling, I labored back to my feet a...

Grand Game 407: A Fight to the Death

Not unexpectedly, I failed to charm Castor, but it was not him I had intended on bewitching anyway.

“Attack,” I barked, tugging on the mental leash I’d wrapped around the minds...

Grand Game 406: Don’t Toy with an Elite

Ghost had as little trouble with her half of the skirmish as I had. She, though, did not suffer any of the possessed to live.

Your familiar has killed 9 hostile entities.

Grand Game 405: Search and Destroy

Dirk told me everything I wanted to know, and more.

The possessed described the layout of the next level, the location of Castor’s personal chamber, and even the elite’s daily routine. So...

Grand Game 404: Coming to Terms

Freeing Lorn and the other orcs was only the work of a few minutes. Healing them all was beyond me, however—which was why I had spared Dirk in the first place.

“What is that thing?” I h...

“You’ve found the tunnel entrance?” Ghost guessed.

You have cast heightened reflexes, load controller, fade, and trigger-cast quick mend.

With my buffs in place, I rose to my feet anew and peered through the small window.

Grand Game 398: The Lower Levels

The stairs leading down to the fortress’ storerooms were guarded, at least in principle. The two soldiers on duty were slovenly and their uniforms unkempt. The door beyond them hung open and both...

Grand Game 397: The First Victim

Slumber’s sentinel activated. Caster awakened.
