Before heading off to dinner with Renauld, we let him stop by a local bathhouse in order to freshen up. Hard days of battle and marching had left the Gnoll looking and smelling a bit…rank, to be ...

I tried to put the odd encounter with Bleddyn’s cousin out of my mind during my shift at Jason’s. Thanks to the nature of Ringed Mind, it was pathetically easy for me to nearly...

I stood at attention in front of Hook’s desk in the main Nocturne Divisions safehouse here in Elderwyck as much as decorum demanded I did.
