2024-09-29 15:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostI walked out of the bar with a rock solid plan in mind. Or at least what I thought was a rock-solid plan. By the time I’d sobered up, I’d already blown my remaining points renting a storefront ...
2024-09-28 15:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostI soon came across a wall of greenery that resembled plants I remembered from Themyscira.
“Get in!” said a familiar voice.
The wards parted before me, deactivated from the inside. 2024-09-27 15:00:11 +0000 UTC View Post
The trip to Glacia went smoother than last time. I figured clearing interplanetary customs would be harder without Cyra, but as soon as I flashed my jade medallion from the Dragon Lodge, they waved...

2024-09-16 15:00:09 +0000 UTC View PostWhile peace had always been part of the plan, I’d known from the start that getting it by meeting the Lich King was going to be a long shot at best. He was already at least associated with a Chao...
