There was a lot of stuff on the shelves in Gilla’s herbalism shop. Everything from small clay pots of living plants to earthenware jars of dried leaves and bottles of colorful liquid corked and sealed with wax. There was also a small box made of smoky textured glass and what looked to be a reddish … Continue reading The Box is Full! Somebody Alert the Archduchess!

Everyone Loves a Hot Bath
Grungaar was pleased with the progress he had made thus far on his new home. He had been at it only for a few days, but it was all coming together so well that Grungaar couldn’t help but hum. He loved music and while he couldn’t play any instruments and it was physically impossible for … Continue reading Everyone Loves a Hot Bath
Finally, Some Bad News
Being undead isn’t all that it is cracked up to be. Anyone seeking to exist after death in any form really needs to consider that there have been zero instances of a happy undead entity. And the more powerful the undead creature is, the more miserable they are bound to be. This little tidbit of … Continue reading Finally, Some Bad News
This is How We Roll (Part 2)
After establishing what type of character a player wants to be (race and character class) and rolling up their six essential characteristics (strength, dexterity, charisma, wisdom, intelligence, and constitution) they now need to settle on what skills they might possess. Game Masters will have different approaches of course, but there are some limitations that are … Continue reading This is How We Roll (Part 2)
A Flurry of Activity
Leopold Voûteacier was a long and somewhat noble sounding name. It was perhaps strange to think that it currently belonged to the small millipede that was now scurrying along a smooth stone floor in a dungeon deep beneath a ruined castle. It would not be odd though if a person knew what sort of entity … Continue reading A Flurry of Activity
This is Getting Out of Hand
There is considerable debate among scholars and sages that pay attention to such things about why it is that dragons seem to turn up en masse at odd and irregular intervals. In any given area in Partum it might be years or even decades or more in between individual dragon sightings and then without any … Continue reading This is Getting Out of Hand
Wherever There are Women, You’re Going to Get That
Recent visitations by the polymorphed dragons in the growing city of Resurrection had created quite a bit of tension in Maelonbourg. Two of these dragons were maroon-colored “deep dragons” who were definitely the outsiders in the city and deeply uncomfortable around surface dwellers. Another two were gold dragons, the exact opposite on the sliding scale … Continue reading Wherever There are Women, You’re Going to Get That
And a Child Shall Lead Them
For four days the little mute orcish boy named Grendel had labored at his project in the small clearing atop a hillock overlooking the northern fork of the Marruse River. This was an overlooked portion of Maelonbourg on the edge of the barony of Serenity. It was perfect for what the little orcish boy had … Continue reading And a Child Shall Lead Them
A Golden Opportunity
The town of Resurrection is not what one would characterize as a romantic place, and yet this simple provincial city has seen more than its share of people falling in love. It is true that love can strike anywhere at any time, but in Resurrection there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason to … Continue reading A Golden Opportunity
The Folly of Power
As was the custom for such things Colonel Drendler was somewhat anxious about having to deliver bad news to the Grand Marshal. Lord Verrat was already aware that something had happened due to the magical nature of his tactical wall map, but Colonel Drendler had the unfortunate duty of filling in some of the details. … Continue reading The Folly of Power
