Author's Note: So, it finally happened! A quest has bugged out completely on me and I cannot complete it, no matter how hard I try. I've edited my save files, changed my stats around. I've even tried to change poor Ray into a human, to see if him being a half-orc was fucking with the game code. Nothing workred. So, uh...just assume that the negotiations with...
My next visit to see my friend Suzy came several days later. I must admit that on my way over to her house, I was filled with a sense of deep excitement about what the day might hold. Naturally I had ensured that I'd had a large drink with my breakfast and already I could feel a deep burning in my bladder with the need for a pee. Whilst I was walking, I stud...
VII Dreams and Visions Sarah usually understood the difference between dreams ripped from the depths of her mind and those that just skimmed the surface. This wasn't one of those times. Despite countless hours of meditation and prayer, learning how to channel her deity's power into a mortal form and her own considerably grounded ego, she couldn't make he...
"I know how much you hate the bus," Anne sighed. She nestled under the warm covers of her queen-sized bed, allowing the soft hum of the air-conditioning unit to lull her to into a peaceful state. Connected to her calm friend- two hundred miles away via a fiber optic network- an anxious Ellie groaned and climbed onto the familiar bus, small backpack in tow....
Super late and super short update this time, and it will be my last one for a while. Not long after I submitted the last chapter I came down with some serious health problems; I'll be alright, but we're looking at a timescale of months before I'm better and the medication is making it hard to focus on writing. That said, it would have been a serious dick-m...
Taker sank to the ground, exhausted. This last battle had been the worst so far. First there had been wave after waves of attacking sand fury trolls, both sword-wielding fiends and insidious spellcasters. Then, when they had finally finished those off- which was a near enough thing- the prisoners his group had just freed suddenly turned on them for reasons...
"Whazzup!" Sallee Silverclamp exclaimed as she handed Pinter a mug of iced tea. The little Goblin overseer of Nagrand's Steamwheedle Preservation Society smiled with her wild hospitality that had always made Pinter laugh when she established connections here over a month ago. Pinter couldn't resist a little appreciative chuckle as she took the tea mug and si...
The sweltering heat clung about Alan, stifling breath and movement alike. The lighting could be better, sunlight filtered in through gaps in the natural stone cave he was crouched in, stained a glorious mix of green and gold by the foliage it passed through. The walls of the cave had been worn smooth over the passing eons, and further smoothed and polished b...
Anduin had snuck out at the darkest point of the night. With him were six (or seven, depending on how one counted) of his women. Xal'atath and K'ara were always with him, as they were bound to his weapons, the Blade of the Black Empire and Shalamayne respectively. Vereesa had insisted on coming along, not wanting to be separated while she was so close to giv...
It was always a surprise as to what kind of bawdy and raucous distraction Thrain Krull would stage as the conclusion to the monthly meeting of the Thieves' Guild, traditionally held in the spacious cellar of a local wine merchant. As an impeccably shrewd guildmaster, Thrain assured maximum attendance with his "Afters," as they were commonly called among guil...
