87 - Examinar

Her discussion with Jade was, while not especially useful, at least interesting. The twitchy, wary street rat answered her questions with what Sable assumed to be honesty, though also some reluctan...

86 - Contact

“Should I go and grab a guard, miss?” an onlooker asked.

Sable glanced at him, but didn’t have to think long about her response. She didn’t know how guards treated thieves in this wor...

85 - Thief

After the quest board, Darian escorted her over to the bronze rank looking-for-group board. There wasn’t much to describe, truthfully, with the purpose being rather self-apparent, but Sable looke...

84 - Guild Intro

Dropping off her items was a relief; she’d packed fairly heavily for the multiple day trip.

She’d heard a few offhand mentions of spatial storage devices, but those were artifacts reserve...

83 - Rooms

Wastehaven was built like a true defensive outpost. The smaller Sunstone and even a city like Skatikk looked like a puny pile of rocks in comparison. Tall square towers loomed at strategic points a...

82 - Classes

Sable looked herself, then Roman, over. The necromancer had rather wild hair after the long, swift flight across so many miles of terrain, which she was irritably trying to wrangle into order. Sabl...

81 - Vivi II

Exhausted and injured, Vivi looked down at the collapsed form of the blonde woman. She was barely conscious, holding a wound on her stomach where she’d been gored through by the monstrous boar’...

80 - Vivi

Vivianara only cared about three things: trophies, prestige, and the thrill of the hunt.

And, admittedly, one more thing. Not dying.

That had been the reason she’d fled. Doing so had ...

79 - Zaverton

The sun had set by the time Sable made it to Roman’s hut. Sable knocked, taking care to not rattle the entire building. She was growing quickly accustomed to handling her newfound strength, thoug...

78 - Local Hero

Sable watched the two conscious adventurers climb up the rubble pile and out through the tunnel she’d created. Ethan carried her staff for her, and also stayed behind to keep an eye on Sable as s...

77 - Found

The miniature avalanche of rock-chunks and other earth debris splayed outward in a steep incline. A good portion of the cliff above the once-cave-entrance had sunk inward too. The structural damage...

76 - Trivial

“It’s worse than I thought,” Quintin said gruffly. “Level ten. We might not have a choice but to wait for backup from the city.”

Sable tilted her head. That had been why Quintin had...

75 - Rescue Quest

Relief bloomed on Miss Draper’s face, and she visibly swayed on her feet—Sable almost reached out to steady her. The exaggerated reaction doubled Sable’s guilt—the selfish exasperation she...

74 - Bookstore

Landon, who ran one of the few book stores in town, was a tall, thin man with large spectacles he needed to constantly readjust. Sable had more than a half-foot on him; brown eyes needed to look up...

73 - Guild Outpost

Sunstone’s guild outpost was a tiny thing. This far north, in a land so sparse with latent magic, getting classes in general was an uncommon feat, much less career adventurers. Still, any respect...

72 - Sunstone

Sable headed for the road, stepping through the unruly terrain of the wild plains with some annoyance. Her thick robes and traveling boots helped, but trekking through wilderness was still an unwie...

71 - Human Lands

Sable dropped the defeated corpse of the [Frostfang Titan] off with Skatikk, which produced quite the clamor. Even by Sable’s estimation, the beast was gigantic, so to goblin civilians, the mass ...

70 - Titan Fight

The rest of the delve was useful in the way Sable hoped it would be—she familiarized herself with her strengths and weaknesses as a humanoid.

Getting to watch Aylin and Granite cut their wa...

69 - Seed of Hunger

[Starvine Stalker - Lv. 6]

In the brief moment before the cat-like predator was on her, Sable paused and reconsidered whether she wanted to get into a brawl. Thorns as long as her finger prot...

68 - Familiarizing

The entrance to the Enchanted Overgrove was an enormous gnarled tree stump. The tier one dungeon was located to the south-east of Bonecracker territory, and one of the more established dungeon loca...

67 - Dungeoneering Two

Arriving at the tier zero [The Dark Cellar] dungeon, Sable sent out a tentative, [Aylin?]

The response took a moment. [Yeah, I’m here. What’s up?]

[Come back up. We’re going to a ...

66 - Thrall Tests

Despite being the clear practical decision, fleeing from what would have been an exciting fight irritated Sable more than she thought it would. Several times, she considered turning around. Her bet...

65 - Scouting For a Home

The Endless Peaks approached rapidly as Sable flew for them, and as she closed mile after mile she found her awe growing in pace with the towering mountain range. They loomed over the forest at all...

64 - More Testing

The forest zoomed by in a blur. Like with might, grace was her weakest stat, but two hundred was still an appreciable amount. Leaves and branches crunched underfoot as she sprinted across the fores...

There was more Sable could talk to Roman about, but that would always be true. While informing herself on the world was important, so was keeping momentum.

She left the dark-haired necromance...

62 - Subserviency Offer

Discussions continued in that vein for a while longer. Sable had a lot to learn about the world, and Roman was the only person who could answer her questions.

Over the following two hours, Sa...

For this discussion, she intended to go with full disclosure, explainin...

59 - Second Introductions

Conquering the Red Plains was still important, but Sable had decided against doggedly pursuing that goal by throwing her weight around in a personal matter. Half the reason was because she thought ...
