Zevlor looked quite surprised at the offer from Marisol. Astarion scoffed a laugh, “Are you mad? He’s with these…goblin cultists, from the sounds of things,” Astarion shifted his weight, “Not that I’m opposed to a little slaughter, but we have far greater problems than that.” Gale frowned at...

Varick hadn't expected to wake to anything other than peace. Even so, his senses never abandoned him. He noticed the pacing and urgent steps, and planned to ignore it. Then Malina started to raise her voice and the panicked edge was impossible to ignore. He groaned, wanting to stay in bed...

Absalom. It was no name Dante knew, and he glanced over the other faces for recognition, but he saw none flare, not even in the demon’s eyes, so he continued to listen as this angel explained his presence, shifting his weight again to his other hip as he tried to stand still. Impatience gnawed...

As they reached the base of the library steps, Dante felt his blood run cold as a too-familiar voice called out to him. Despite the chill, and the rush of confused emotions, he turned, wide and slow, as a hand went back to grip Rebellion, “Well! If it isn’t Vergil, showing up with another Tower...

Voss knew better than to expect help or ask for it. One appeared to be a knight, but with the whole group save one dispatched it was evident they weren't prepared. The markings on some shields told Boss where they hailed from – a kingdom he didn't think had fallen, one he knew he was near the...

Dravon wasn't surprised by the demand. Rience had hinted at his interest in Mikhail, so this was to be expected. Dravon was lucky to know the location, another thing inadvertently revealed by Kirsikka. He opened a portal, the cabin just in sight. “You can go through and know it,” and then...

The reason for the ice became obvious when it wasn’t Kirsikka that answered, but Rience. Dravon let his eyes move from their search to focus on the bloody blood mage who was, quite honestly, lucky to be alive. Dravon did wonder if it would have lasted long if he hadn’t shown up, and he shifted...

‘No, no we don’t have to talk to her.’ Darius wanted to contend. Not until Mia was bound and unable to hurt them, though the odds of capture were slim. Darius knew it. Someone like Mia, even as a child of Micah – or perhaps, because she was a child of Micah – wouldn’t be imprisoned. He didn’t...

A variety of currency clattered on the table. Aemilia had no real interest in denarii nor even NCR coin, but it added up, and let the stranger deal in. Aemilia accepted her new cards with a smile, one that never flinched or wavered no matter the hand she was dealt. Luck was a part of it – but...

Charlie's joy was at odds with Darius’s fury. Her ability to read the room was lost to it, and it was terribly jarring. All the hatred Nina felt seemed to flood him as she celebrated the possibilities, not at all counting the losses. But why would she? She didn't know them. Darius might not even...

Aemilia and Boone both noticed the stranger with the dog. Given, Aemilia had an instant desire to go put the dog and coo about what a cute puppy it was – but she was very aware of what kind of dog it was, and knew that was a surefire way to get her hand bitten off. While not common, she’d met...

Freeside. It had been a while since Aemilia Strafe set foot in Freeside – not since before the Divide. The proximity to the Strip was too dangerous for her to think of stepping into it with all its temptations. Drugs, alcohol, and a thousand ways to die! ‘And you’re looking for one more.’ She...

Zuko tried not to look pained as Safira chose violence. Why oh why couldn't she have just walked along? As it was, the bender reacted accordingly, and Zuko pulled his blade. He didn't have time to be surprised at Safira bending. He had time to plunge his blade between the weak point in the...

Darius couldn’t help but chuckle at Charlie’s exclamation, considering he’d said much the same. Of course, the problem of drop bears now seemed inane compared to the problems that were chasing them. They’d do better against all the snakes and spiders in Australia – or at least, their death would...

Even from this distance, Zuko could tell the man didn’t have much rank. It only furthered his belief this wasn’t actually sanctioned, though he kept that to himself as Iroh shook his head at her determination. “You should get yourself and your loved ones to safety,” he said, “though I am...

“Oh, so what is this, the Tower of Babel?” Dante’s exasperation was obvious as he grasped for a biblical tower that he knew, all but throwing his hands up at the sight of it looming above. How was he even going to get up into the tower to deal with whatever nonsense was going on? Well, a plane...

Gabrielle pulled her leg out hastily when the mare was lifted, and struggled to her feet, reaching out to Delores to balance and rise, the other leg still wounded from the initial strike of the beast. She looked around as well for a decent path to get out of the way, and noticed the doctor...

The pain fled with the portal, but Kirsikka was well over the edge – too far to draw back, too far to really even notice the pain was gone, and so was her target. If anything, that only pushed her further into the hatred, unaware that Rience was still near. Near enough, that when the very...

Kill. Darius wondered how much Charlie might protest the intent the Order had for Mia. They hadn’t known each other long, or even well. Certainly, the only one who had spoken well of her had been Micah. ‘You wouldn’t be proud of her now.’ It was hard to imagine Charlie’s mother had much to say...

The smart thing would be to bow his head, and run off. Zuko knew that, but he was furious seeing the Fire Nation disturb this village. It became clear why – they were trying to dam up a river that fed into Ba Sing Se to help ruin the fortified city, by limiting their resources. Earthbenders...
