The next day we were all set to go to the demonstration. Zevrack and I met Millicent and Patience in the bar for a breakfast of stew for Zevrack, Millicent, and I. Patience enjoyed a mug of Ale for breakfast instead. After that we made our way across a few of the city's islands until we made it t...
2022-04-19 13:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe bar was relatively quiet, with Patience and Millicent the only two people sitting together. I caught a few snippets of conversation as I walked down the stairs.
“Really! you think Tib and Nica?” said Millicent.
“Of course I do, I’m surprised you don’t,” replie...
2022-04-14 13:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostI looked at both groups, trying to assess what was happening as quickly as possible before making any rash decisions. The King looked absolutely stunned at what was happening, more off balance than I’d seen him since I’d arrived. Both groups glanced over to me, but didn’t move their weapons...
2022-04-14 13:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostI stood up. Just because I’d found the information I needed, didn’t mean I’d found everything I could. I started going room to room, searching for anything useful. On the bottom floor I found rows upon rows of computers and binders full of technical information, but all of that was beyond m...
2022-04-12 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a trip to the village headman to collect our reward, a paltry fifteen gold each, we started back on the road to Itlan. The trip back was uneventful, and because the village was relatively close to the city, short. Millicent spent the entirety of our short journey flattering the hedge wizard...

Development has begun on the rEvolution project. Primary focus is on how to increase resistance to radiation and overall endurance, as well as distribution. Initial successes are… promising on all fronts. The work being done is largely based on my own research that wa...
2022-04-07 13:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostWe took a break for a few minutes while Millicent identified the other items in each chest. One was a ring of perfume that gave off a pleasant cinnamon and spice smell, and the other was rope that looked to be only three feet in length, but when it was pulled on could extend to twenty. An interes...
2022-04-07 13:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostI was leading the way as we made our way deeper into the cave. We’d already encountered some traps and with Zevrack busy with his newest invention, I was the one with the highest trapfinding skill. I wasn’t eager to be back in a cave again so soon. It had only been a month since the last one,...
2022-04-05 13:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostI was cautious the entire trip, keeping my nose open for the musk of the Ursans and my eyes on the path in front of me. I could tell that the maps I’d referenced for pathfinding were a little out of date. Areas that had been clear before were now covered in thick patches of forest. Still, the t...
2022-04-05 13:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostHey Everybody!
Just wanted to put a note out there that tomorrow and possibly Thursday's chapters are being scheduled unedited, and may be a bit rougher than usual. A medical emergency has limited the amount of time I have for polishing them up like I prefer to do.
Thank you for under...
2022-04-04 07:44:56 +0000 UTC View PostI followed Shay back to the King’s hall, which I found transformed since the previous morning. Tables and chairs had been brought in and arrayed in neat rows, food of various kinds was piled on plates and into bowls, and a massive plate of black meat sat in the center of it all, stacked up high...
2022-03-31 13:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe first thing I did after we landed and got some distance from the walking mountain we’d left behind, was to climb the tallest tree and try to get a good look at it. Even though the mountains were quite some distance from us, I could barely see them all just due to their sheer enormity. I cou...
2022-03-31 13:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostI went to leave the room, and ran into the physician who’d treated me, a mixture of confusion and fear on his face.
“You…you really did survive?” he asked.
“Looks like it.”
“Are there more? Like you I mean? Beyond the woods.”
“None quite like me, but yes....
2022-03-29 13:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of the trip passed uneventfully with no issues beyond breaking up drunken brawls, and one dedicated shoplifter who led me through a wily chase through a dozen tunnels and caverns before I captured him. We were finally going to exit the dwarven caverns and head for a human city. I was thr...
2022-03-29 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostI slept as poorly as I was used to, no more, no less, and woke at what felt like early morning. It was dark and I could feel cold radiating from the stone wall behind my bed. I raised a hand and checked my chest. No scars. That was the furthest I’d tested my healing ability so far, closest I’...
2022-03-24 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe circle of red widened and started roiling with different hues of crimson, as if it was a wine red sea being shaken up by the hand of an angry god. Suddenly, dozens more circles appeared next to it and all across the sky above us. There were more colored red, some were gold, silver, pure white...
2022-03-24 13:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe first day in the caverns was quiet, and unfortunately, very boring. It had taken a while for me to get used to the movement of the beetles, but eventually I settled into a semi comfortable position keeping my eyes on the road and my ears listening for any sounds that may signal an approach. T...
2022-03-22 13:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostI wish I could say that, like the other times I’d been this hurt, I’d lost consciousness. Unfortunately, this time, I wasn’t so lucky. I heard the gate open and people come on. They didn’t rush out, but instead moved slowly and deliberately towards me and the beast I’d killed. Once they...
2022-03-22 13:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostI woke up the next morning in an empty bed. Elle had a lot more packing to do than I did, and had gotten up early to get it done. Unlike Zevrack and me, she was simply paying her way onto the trip, having been given a small sum of gold by the town to finally start working as a seeker outside of t...
2022-03-17 13:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostI stood, dumbfounded, at the foot of the stone walls for quite some time before I thought to start looking for an entrance. I walked around the outskirts of the fort for a while, sticking to the treeline so that I could blend in with the forest, and catching sight of a few men and women on the pa...
2022-03-17 13:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostThe Black Woods were a strange place, unlike other forests I’d been through in the past. The black trees were packed closely together in some areas, and further apart in others, and they lacked any truly distinguishing marks. Luckily, between my compass and the tracks I was following, I had a w...
2022-03-15 13:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostI approached the caravan with a wide smile on my face. My approach drawing the attention of the caravaneers and the townsfolk who gave me head nods and polite hellos as I entered the town. Two of the caravaneers shared a look as I approached, then looked at me and returned my smile. One of them w...
2022-03-15 13:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostIn the weeks after the death of the sebetan I found myself growing, for the first time since I’d arrived, restless and bored. I guessed that while my brain doesn’t like to dwell on things now that it was half-elf, it did seek new stimulation and activity. Without a war to fight or a ...
2022-03-11 16:07:52 +0000 UTC View PostWhile my escort was focusing on the road ahead, and quiet, I pulled up the notifications I’d received after the fight.
Excellent work Marshall! You’ve successfully performed a secondary goal of your job ‘Combat’! You’ve earned 60 Patriot Points!
Excellent work P...
2022-03-11 16:07:00 +0000 UTC View PostI found myself alone in a dark lit only by what light my glowing sword sword was casting through the blood that now covered it. I felt a wave of exhaustion unlike anything I’d ever experienced as the last of the strength I’d been imbued with left me completely. I collapsed to my knees, feelin...
2022-03-10 14:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostAfter I accepted, the Khan dismissed me and one of his women guided me to a room with an old military cot and nothing else. She was blonde, with her hair done up in braids that were looped through gears and bolts as if they were jewelry. As I removed my pack and went to sit on the cot I found tha...
2022-03-10 14:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostIt was easy to tell when you were getting close to the seat of the Iron Horde. The air begins to taste more like smog, and the rumbling of engines becomes more and more frequent. Patrols began passing us as we continued along the road to Fette. We were mostly ignored, undertaker business was sanc...
2022-03-08 14:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostIt took a few more full days of excavation, during which time I unlocked the lovely new skill ‘Dig’ which I hoped never to use again after my quest was complete and I left the caverns. That assumed I was going to survive of course, but I found any assumptions to the contrary counterproductive...
2022-03-08 14:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a few moments of observing I could tell that it was the other wagon that was kicking up dust. It’s black form a perfect dot on the horizon. Surrounding it were a number of smaller vehicles kicking up dust clouds of their own. After watching a bit longer I realized they were motorcycles. T...
2022-03-04 14:01:03 +0000 UTC View PostI took a moment to get dressed and equipped, then took a little more time to eat before I left the room. As I walked out I realized I was in a makeshift hospital of sorts. I was surprised to see that most of the patients being treated were stonemen, though a few mushroom dwarves and kobolds were ...
