Skeleton
The skeleton of the dead adventurer was powerful--but perhaps a little too much so. Its rusty sword was no match for the bolstered strength of the monster. The weapon shattered against @RavenSong Joanne’s greatsword. The strength of the monster skeleton--bolstered by wicked forest...
Miiya Aether
Miiya had to slow down at flight level 300. She had long since grown out of her heart arrhythmias from delayed fledging, but even the athletic Aerial did not have unlimited capacity for vertical climbs, especially not in the rarified mountain air. The morning was cold and...
Skeletons
The battle intensified as the defenders of the campsite came under heavy attack by the massed skeletons, and responded with powerful counterattacks.
@RavenSong Glowing chains of Dala’s holy might erupted from the ground and bound the fourth lumberjack skeleton while @CrackCauldron...
Skeletons
Cass’s sonic slash cleaved through one of the adventurer’s skeleton’s sword and blasted off bits of its armor.
The other sword-armed skeleton reached Joanne and swung it’s sword at the armored woman.
The leading lumberjack skeleton attempted to chop Cass with its hatchet, but ended up...

Irihi took in the gloomy contents of the sad little tenement with barely a blink. She walked past the little stone stove, constructed with such care. She passed...
Skeletons
@CrackCauldron
With the Husk indisposed, the skeletons did not fight as a group, but rather as individuals. In this case, since they were only armed with melee weapons, there was little they could do against Cass’s hail of bullets. However, the two skeletons of adventurers had taken...
Brannor Keene
The wagon driver was prodded from his perch and fell into Mephisto’s illusion.
Too bad illusions were not real, otherwise the man might not have been so badly hurt by his fall through the ephemeral Long Shadow and his crash into the bushes, weeds, and debris below the crane...
Miiya Aether
@Maverick Six “Don’t forget me bribing the guards with yer money!” Miiya said brightly, grinning at Marcus.
@Tau Distracted, Miiya mumbled “Sure, kid.” when Hoshino said she was going back to the room for some forgotten item. Stormbreaker was asking for an overflight, and...
Brannor Keene
When Brannor’s daughter had died he had been foreman of the camp. Only a year had passed since he’d moved his family from Ashoc to this peaceful homestead at the forest’s edge--where they could dwell together without his long absences at the timber site.
When Rosie had taken ill...
The Tangler Tree
Cass’s gunplay did avail him his freedom. Five shots was just enough to cause the grasping branches to release him. While the bullets did not sever the thick woody vine-like branches, they did enough damage that the tree reacted by releasing its prey. Cass was momentarily free...

“Oh, shu! Mister Banecroft!” Miiya exclaimed, when Caelum drew the armored man over to their table. “Remember me?” she grinned at Marcus and then turned to explain to Stormbreaker. “We met in Otenzel years ago...

Miiya’s teeth clenched involuntarily at Hoshino’s words. That was an old, old knife the little angel was unknowingly twisting, talking about the horrors of captivity. The birdgirl decided to focus on her first...

“Holy shu!” Miiya exclaimed as Moo enlarged--antlers first--and then toppled out of the carriage, tumbling end-over-end until making a perfect two-point landing at the base of the Moo Wheel. “That was amazing! Ten points for...
That Tantalizing Glow
The madcap dancing wizard was merely a brief distraction on Cass’s quest for gold. No sooner had the man--and his contract--appeared, then they vanished just as quickly, back to dancing atop the distant, and out-of-sight wagon.
As Cass plunged into the thicket, the golden...

The Wagon and Driver
Brannor Keene didn’t have time for any of this nonsense. He needed to get to sleep immediately; he had an appointment to keep. Nothing else mattered. The longer the day stretched, the more brittle his smile became. The man barely had the motivation to drive the wagon from...
The Wagon and Driver
“Aye, lass.” The wagon driver answered Joanne, smiling with a rather faraway expression. That expression remained pasted on his face as he set to breaking camp. “Did I ever tell yeh about my Rosie?” The driver asked a point just over Joanne’s shoulder. ”No, I wouldn’t...
