Chapter One-Hundred Twenty-Two

I don’t know what I was expecting from the fight with Hullbreak, but this awkward standoff wasn’t it.  I was expecting to have a big battle under the waves, but my ‘assault’ force is s...

Peek: Slash

The Composer is close to finishing the Axe.  Ever since his creation, Slash had at least a vague idea of what the Axe would look like, would sound like.  He has longed to be able to actua...

Chapter One-Hundred Twenty-One

I watch through Teemo’s eyes as he talks with Yendo.  I’d be holding my breath if I could, and releasing it in a sigh of relief when he accepts helping us.  After just a little more e...

Chapter One-Hundred Twenty

Thanks to Teemo, I’m feeling a lot better about the whole thing.  It also helps that everyone is doing the last bit of prep, which helps solidify what we’re going to be doing.  Someth...

Peek: The White Stag

The Voice of the Southwood bounds through his lord's domain.  While he's in no particular hurry to get anywhere in specific, his lord's demesne is vast enough that he needs to be quick if he w...

Chapter One-Hundred Nineteen

This is feeling like the longest week of my life, and it’s only just started.  Sure, I haven’t had all that many weeks since becoming a dungeon, but the point still stands.  ...

Chapter One-Hundred Eightteen

With night comes the latest reports from the spies in Hullbreak, and Leo dutifully works through them.  There’s definitely an increase in sharks inside, and it looks like their expeditions h...

Peek: Dungeon Subclasses

While most are familiar with the four main classifications of dungeons, there are many sub-classifications to go along with them.  Experienced adventurers will recognize at least a ha...

The Inspector of the Fourdock branch of the Dungeoneer’s Guild grins as he finishes his foe with one final slash. &nbs...

Chapter One-Hundred Sixteen

Around sunrise, Yvonne, Teemo, and Aranya go to meet up with Aelara and Ragnar to take a look at the forest and the planned shortcut, so I take a chance to talk with the dwarf through Teemo and see...

Peek: Cobble Bread

A proper baker keeps rather strange hours.  People love to have fresh baked things for breakfast, but fresh baked things take a considerable amount of time to create.  They need to be mix...

Chapter One-Hundred Fifteen

With the scythemaws pretty much done with their fun, and the surprise fun of helping Rhonda and Freddie getting their classes finished, I return my attention to the problem of Hullbreak Harbor. &nb...

Torlon

Last night was a strange experience for the Head Priest.  He might not have as close of a connection to the S...

Merry Christmas

There will not be a peek tomorrow, because I'll be spending time with the family for Christmas.  Thank you all for reading and for your support.  This is how I make my living now, and I n...

Staiven

The aged ratkin steals a few seconds as he and Rhonda work to simply observe his apprentice.  While he couldn’t ...

Chapter One-Hundred Twelve

With the challenge done and settled, and Aranya relaxing, I can take some time to go over what else has been happening.  It’s not like everything else stops just because I’m distracted wit...

Christmas Nudge!

I hope everyone is having a good month!  Just a quick nudge for more suggestions for either full peeks, or questions to go into another Q&A, feel free to put whatever comments you have rig...

Peek: The Dungeoneer's Guild

Jarsto frowns to himself as he looks at the dossier on his desk.  Unlike many in the guild, he doesn't mind the bureaucratic upkeep required for the guild to run smoothly.  He's actually ...

Chapter One-Hundred Eleven

Freddie smiles in triumph as he holds Aranya by the forearm, the challenge done.  If I could, I’d be smiling with him.  I don’t know how I was expecting the kids to beat Aranya and Ro...

Chapter One-Hundred Ten

Ok, well… that went a lot better than I thought.  Not only does Freddie seem to be on a path to understanding what a paladin actually does, but Rhonda helped Thing to get a breakthrough with...

Peek: The Rise of Neverrest

Death.  The little purple gem shard is surrounded by it.  Neat and orderly and quiet, the mana flowing steadily, as it should.  It has two small spawners: rats and wasps, and it orde...

Chapter One-Hundred Nine

While Thing and Rhonda get ready to work on the quartz pickups, I pay more attention to Larx and Freddie.  I always find it interesting to listen to philosophy and how people think, but I’m ...

Chapter One-Hundred Eight

Freddie and Rhonda elect to take the streets over to the cemetery and crypt complex, rather than try to slip through the tunnels, and I can hardly blame them.  The scythemaws are mostly settle...

Peek: Tiny's Part

Today will be  interesting for the large spider scion.  Something big is coming, and even Weaver Thedeim has noticed.  Not that he's bad at sensing the threads of fate, but ...

Chapter One-Hundred Seven

I laugh to myself as I watch Tiny untangle the group from the web, and manage to ask Teemo to be there once they’re free so he can tell them about the next challenge.  It looks like he’ll ...

Chapter One-Hundred Six

Is bemused the right word?  Knowing you’ve been had, but not particularly minding it?  Whatever it’s called, I’d say that describes Tiny’s feelings on having been defeated by the ...

Peek: Slash

Simple notes drift through the tunnels as the earth elemental gets familiar with the lute Tiny gifted him.  It sounds completely different from the snippets of music he sometimes hears through...

Thursday's Update

Thursdays update will be cancelled as I'll be spending Thanksgiving doing Thanksgiving things.  The Sunday Peek should still happen on schedule.  Thank you for your support again, and I h...

Chapter One-Hundred Five

The kids exchange glances after Teemo finishes talking, and Freddie is the first to break the silence.

“I think we’re going to need more than a bucket of mice to capture this one,” he s...
