4.12 In Which the Dark Lord is Off to the Races

I reminded myself firmly of two things: that I was surrounded by powerful nobility, and that it wasn’t yet time to murder them all.  Only then did I turn around to greet whatever the fuck ne...

4.11 In Which the Dark Lord Ruins a Party

Rhydion remained as inscrutable as only a man encased in metal can be, but his companions were not so sanguine about my proposed bargain.

4.10 In Which the Dark Lord Catches Up

Well, it was a good thing I’d stopped by Auldmaer’s place first.  Our conversation had been so brief and pleasant it verged on forgettable; as Gizmit predicted, he was pleased by all my su...

4.9 In Which the Dark Lord Threads the Needle

“A Rhaedswyth Velvet?”  Captain Norovena had accepted the bottle from me with something very like reverence and now held it up, gazing in awe at the label.  “Hell’s revels, man. &...

4.6 In Which the Dark Lord Lays Down the Law, Again

You’d think I’d know by now that nothing is ever that simple.  Tossing out a few Heal spells during a night visit to the cat village was one thing, but it turned out when you want...

4.5 In Which the Dark Lord Throws Them a Bone

Half of showtime is timing, which means among other things recognizing when it is not showtime.
