Peek: Set Sail for Adventure!

Warnd doesn't sleep especially well that night, his dreams a chaotic mishmash of high adventure and nighmarish failure. He wouldn't want to admit it to Lem, but he's excited for this. Fighting and ...

Chapter Two-Hundred Ninety-Four

I have a bit of fun at Berdol’s expense as I watch him meet Violet’s other scions, and do the rest of the inspection.  Olander looks like he’s mostly having fun, too, but I don’t miss ...

Peek: Stocking Up

Inspecting Thedeim is still intimidating to the catkin, and he’s not cert...

Chapter Two-Hundred Ninety-One

Olander meets with Coda at the manor porch, but they don’t have all that much to talk about.  My nerd bat isn’t exactly a powerhouse in a fight, and I think the elf is still a bit distract...

Peek: A New Shore

Warnd heard good things about Fourdock. While his parents were born and raised as shipwrights in Gofnardale, the elf had been feeling stifled. While he enjoys designing and building ships, it's m...

Aranya

__________

It’s times like these that make her appreciate just how much work Larx, Vernew, Folarn, and Norloke do.  She likes to t...

Peek: What a Bear Does in the Woods

To be honest, he'd rather be fishing. Unfortunately for the Southwoods' newest scion, he has an important job to do. On the other hand, it's a job that still gives him more free time than he had ...

Chapter Two-Hundred Eighty-Six

The rest of the inspection of Hullbreak goes pretty well.  I might have missed a couple details while listening in on Onyx trying to explain why sewage is not tasty.  As amusing as it is ...

Peek: Slimy

Fouled air, putrid water, the stench of the waste of an entire town.

Onyx

Peek: War

Berdol

This has probably been the busiest winter of Berdol’s life.  Usually, the tabby catkin spends the snowy months in an...

Chapter Two-Hundred Seventy-Nine

So.

I need some denizens that are fun to fight.  I need ones that will make the delvers shout “Oh, yes!” rather than “Oh, no…”  I have some pretty strong ones, sure. ...
