Part 49

Luckily, Rylenka seemed to have assessed the odds the same way. “Over there…one on each side” Ingrid gestured with the sword. As Miri scanned the room, she noticed Nimue taking a seat at the ...

Part 48

The two spent the next hour or so pinned against the wall. But whether through eventual mercy on their captor’s part or the end of her concentration or spell duration, they were eventually freed....

Part 47

“My turn,” Ingrid said. “How do you FEEL about your travelling companion?”

Rylenka blushed, “What kind of question is THAT? She’s, um, fine I suppose.” “Fine, you SUPPOSE. I t...

Part 46

“It’s just so hard, sometimes...to not live up to expectations.” Rylenka said. “Or to be judged harshly because you’re a halfbreed,” Miri commiserated. “Exactly.” “Wait…look at ...

Fun things coming

I'm really enjoying rendering now.  Let's say the "action" will step up throughout the course of the month.

Part 45

The following day, on the road, it was Maddie’s turn to walk with the horse, as Minna guarded the supply wagon. “Why did we have to leave before the others?” Maddie whined. “Yer changin’ ...

Part 44

Minna was sitting by the fire, chewing through some tough trail bread when Lady Sivallien squinted her sharp eyes. Minna watched curiously, but didn’t get up. Sivallien stood up, and Choru was so...

Video Games

How much interest would there be in interactive story games with text, pictures, and perhaps an occasional input, like answering a riddle, or a simple minigame?  The contents of the stories wo...

Part 43

Hundreds of miles away, in front of an elaborate shrine carved from a rocky crag, Archdeaconess Cafrune had assembled the force she would use to accomplish the mission given her. She stood before l...

Part 42

Amira rang the ship’s bell, and the crew gathered on deck to see Milisandia strutting in front of Laurala, whose hands were bound behind her back. “Sadly, it seems that we have a stowaway. We n...

The Peregrine’s Talonhad been underway for the better part of a day, w

Story Part 40

(Crew characters appear in the order mentioned)

Carlotta cleared her throat. She really wanted to use as much of her own crew as possible on this mission, she could already tell by the way Mi...

Story Part 39

Carlotta frowned as she watched her mate secure the lines at the bow. Felicity Dragon was already docked, and hardly a hand could be seen onboard. Gabriela must have beat her to Gull Cove ...

Story Part 38

Grulba tied the hands of the prisoners, then pulled them to their feet. Shelgrish bowed to the Jarl, then escorted the still-nude prisoners out of the hall, and out of the village. At the gate, the...

Story Part 37

“Take them all. But when you return, you’d better have news of their allies. And you’d better not have my daughters with you.” “Agreed,” Shelgrish said, quickly, before Lazgar had a cha...

Story Part 36

The Barbarian looked at the women, “The Banedash are orc-friends--” Lazgar cleared her throat, “You mean WERE Orc-friends. There are no Banedash, only Shelgrish now.” Miri’s mind was raci...

Story Part 35

The barbarian’s tone changed. The joviality had gone from her voice. “Yes, but I’d ask one last time for you to reconsider. They’re your daughters, after all.” “Bah,” Lazgar said, “...

Story Part 34

How long the Orcs would have kept beating the elf and the ranger is a matter of conjecture; as it happened, they were interrupted during this activity.

A messenger ran into the hall, and bowe...

Map

I wanted to give a general idea where things are.  Those pale white circles up north in the Realms represent the wardshells.  You can see several cities with their own wardshells, but the...

Story Part 33

“Well, get this human rat on her knees!” Therliss tried to resist, but the bodyguard pinched a pressure point near her clavicle, and she dropped to her hands and knees.

“Fiesty!” the ...

Story Part 32

“Did you think to harm me?” Lazgar laughed, “While our lands may be at the very limit of your Wardshells, my hall is fully protected by it. Bashuk, strip her, so she can enjoy the same treatm...

Story Part 31

There was an awkward moment of silence as each participant in the standoff took the measure of the situation. But suddenly, the silence was broken—by Lazgar, laughing loudly. “Shut up, or I’l...

Story Part 30

Suddenly, Miri heard a commotion. Looking op, she saw Therliss, standing in front of the throne with a knife to the Jarl’s throat. “Let her go,” she said, “I’ll let your jarl go unharmed ...

Story Part 29

Grulba nodded, and grabbed Miri by the hair, pulling her forward onto all fours. Grulba knelt down beside her, keeping hold of her hair, and wound the sword up for a swing.

SMACK! The flat of...

Story Part 28

“That’s not good enough. But you will stay until you tell us. In the meantime, I decree that this sword, that spilled so much orc-blood taste its first Elf-Flesh. Grulba?” The Jarl held out t...

Story Part 27

“I apologize your, um, your grace, jarl, but I didn’t know I was in anyone’s territory. This was marked on our map simply as The Wilds.”

“Our?” so there are others? I kne...

Story Part 26

With a slight groan, she climbed to all fours, then settled into a kneeling pose. Her head was still spinning. Lazgar seemed annoyed, “One should not make a Jarl wait.” Miri looked up, terrifie...

Who should win?

Who should win in an unarmed wrestling match?  Don't assume that the situation will come up soon, it's a "down the road" sort of thing.

Story Part 25

Her head was pounding. Something unpleasant-smelling, dried mud, perhaps, caked her skin. She was lying on something hard and flat. A wooden floor? Muffled voices filled her head. They seemed close...

Story Part 24

There was no time to don her armor, or even get dressed. She’d have to run to keep up with the thief, so she followed as closely as possible. The branches and bushes of the lush forest scratched ...
