2021-08-17 11:27:11 +0000 UTC View PostI don't recall seeing this before… if that's because I wasn't looking for it or if it was unlocked somehow… I can't be sure. Being able to detect Gravity? In what way? As in, the strength of th...

2021-08-14 11:32:12 +0000 UTC View PostThe tale of the Colony's expansion is one of conflict, it is true, though many point to that as the sole factor, as if everywhere we trod there was nothing but war and death. Perhaps it is easy...

2021-08-10 08:08:11 +0000 UTC View PostI'm not really wearing armour. It's more jewellery than anything else. Which isn't something I wanted to point out to Smithant. She takes immense pride in being a smith, specifically in be...
2021-08-10 08:07:42 +0000 UTC View PostOur plans made, the council disperses, Vibrant disappearing over the horizon before I can so much as blink. Although… that could be a long measure of time, since I can't blink. I'm actually start...
2021-08-07 08:30:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe meeting dragged on for another hour before a reasonable plan of action of attack was determined. We had to consult Al fairly frequently throughout the process, trying to determine exactly what ...
2021-08-06 08:20:11 +0000 UTC View PostAs I watch the disc containing Brixin and her cohort of demons fly back to Orpule I breathe a sigh of relief. That was close, too close! We might have been able to win, but most likely only with th...

2021-08-03 10:51:08 +0000 UTC View PostThe immediate fallout from defeating the city was a little odd as an experience. The remaining demonic residents of Roklu were a little bewildered by the whole experience, and some were less than p...
2021-08-02 08:11:27 +0000 UTC View PostSorry for delay!
The closer I look, the more certain I am. It isn't much, a scratch under any other circumstances, but considering that Grokus has managed to keep ...
2021-07-31 08:02:20 +0000 UTC View PostIn desperation, I turn the final stages of forming the gravity bomb over to my main mind, the only brain I have that specialises in handling gravity mana. I can immediately feel the difference, but...

2021-07-14 07:33:53 +0000 UTC View PostGrokus enjoyed being a city lord for a few, very simple reasons. First, it meant that he didn't have to put up with anything getting between himself and the only thing that gave him satisfaction in...
