The jor walked with a noble bearing neither Hilde nor Belynda was accustomed to seeing. A casual observer might have thought that he owned the place. As he led them through the entryway and out into what was a beautiful, and curiously constructed underground city, he talked about the neighborhood, people, and idiosyncrasies of this … Continue reading Fight, Swear, Loathe; Chapter 22

Fight, Swear, Loathe; Chapter 21
As Hilde and Belynda walked cautiously up to the spot where Cinder was sitting, they watched for any sign of trouble. It wasn’t clear which of them first saw the spider totem carved in the rock wall, but they looked at each other, and sighed heavily. This was unmistakably the territory of the drow. There … Continue reading Fight, Swear, Loathe; Chapter 21
Fight, Swear, Loathe; Chapter 20
Hilde and Belynda went back through the cavern to fetch their bags, and the two unknotted ropes, then returned to where the gigantic spring was wedged into the opening. Nothing was getting through here, unless it was Cinder-sized or smaller. About a foot worth of rubble had been broken down from the top, and there … Continue reading Fight, Swear, Loathe; Chapter 20
Fight, Swear, Loathe; Chapter 19
Without having Cinder around to keep watch, Hilde would have been very reluctant to continue this adventure in this way. The rocks and formations were so tall, it was like navigating a stone forest. There were no paths, and so many places the beholder could be hiding. Cinder stayed well ahead of Hilde and Belynda, … Continue reading Fight, Swear, Loathe; Chapter 19
Every Villain has a Backstory
I have settled on a topic for my next widely-ignored book. I will be taking one of the villains from my most recent campaign and dive a little deeper into both their history and their motivations going forward. With any luck at all I might even be able to finish the book before the players … Continue reading Every Villain has a Backstory
Fight, Swear, Loathe; Chapter 18
They both knew what they were up against now, and neither of them were thrilled about the prospect. Belynda had found several maps of the caverns, caves, and tunnels that meandered out and downward from this settlement. The fortification that Belynda had described in the journals was labelled, and Hilde assumed that the horror remained … Continue reading Fight, Swear, Loathe; Chapter 18
Continental Excursions; Riesenwald
Not really a state in the true sense of the term, Riesenwald is a small land filled with heavily forested hills. It is home to faerie folk as well as giants and has no recognizable form of unifying government of its own nor does it possess any cities or notable commerce. There are some trade … Continue reading Continental Excursions; Riesenwald
The Blank Canvas
There are few things about Dungeons and Dragons that I enjoy more than imagining up towns and cities. What sorts of businesses are there? Is there industry? Can I buy clothing made from yams? Just how big of a turnip can a fellow buy for thirty-seven pounds of gold coins? Placing inns, taverns, houses of … Continue reading The Blank Canvas
With an Arrogance and Haughtiness Normally Reserved for Elves…
The soldiers, mercenaries, and other professional warriors of Weintäler are not the finest in the world, or even on the continent. But like everyone else in Weintäler who fancies themselves an expert in something these fighters have an arrogance and haughtiness normally reserved for describing elves. They are good at what they do and on … Continue reading With an Arrogance and Haughtiness Normally Reserved for Elves…
Fight, Swear, Loathe; Chapter 17
Hilde and her squire took the elevating bowl contraption all the way back to the smelting room, and set about making camp. Cinder went immediately back to exploring the rooms around them, and Belynda made quite a meal from the food they had on hand along with a generous dose of magical summoning. It wasn’t … Continue reading Fight, Swear, Loathe; Chapter 17
