The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 15
Twitch was by this time already through the Grey Alps, and nearly home. He was about half a day south of Turda when he spotted the platinum blonde woman on the chestnut horse. He chuckled as he approached. She was sitting on her horse, watching him and waiting. “Allo, Yvonne!” Twitch sang out, his voice … Continue reading The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 15
The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 14
When the sun came up, it found Debreken in a state of martial law. Gates remained sealed as soldiers and Karcher’s men went door-to-door through all of the city searching for any trace of the mysterious elf. They spent all day searching, and didn’t find one trace of the fellow who called himself Taimblore. They … Continue reading The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 14
The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 13
Twitch moved through the building to where the front door was. He was in some sort of meat shop. It smelled terrible. But they could at least appreciate the butchery in their back room. He slipped the lock and went right out the front door. He got a bearing, and headed back to the palace … Continue reading The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 13
The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 12
The morning sun couldn’t find its way into the cellar of the Ettin Chins Lodge, but Twitch awoke regardless, aware that it was light out even if he couldn’t see it. He cast a cantrip spell again, and once more the flame danced on the end of his thumb. He peered around the room. Malek … Continue reading The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 12
The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 11
Twitch stifled the laughter that welled up in his heart. He still had a job to do. He made a mental note of all that he had seen, and looked for a place on this side of the city to jump down, but on the middle-class side of the inner wall. He wasn’t going to … Continue reading The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 11
The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 10
The denizens of the inn were just as Twitch thought they would be. A few people near the entrance to the room glanced over to see who the newcomer was, and then went back to their own meals, drinks, and whispered conversations. Twitch looked around the room. In a corner booth under the staircase his … Continue reading The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 10
The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 9
It was a pleasant ride to Hessra, a small town that obviously had had its share of unruly invaders over the years. There was a keep in the middle of the town, and the entire village was surrounded by a well-constructed wooden palisade. All of the buildings were safely behind this palisade, no doubt constructed … Continue reading The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 9
The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 8
Right at midday, exactly as planned, Twitch and Sixx reached a little knoll overlooking the border crossing. Twitch dismounted, and would walk the rest of the way in to Geldenreich. He checked over his baggage, searching for any signs of anything a nosy guard might deem as illicit. Everything looked good. His bow was stowed … Continue reading The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 8
The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 7
The twisting, interconnected valleys of the Grey Alps formed the only above-ground transportation arteries in the Grafdom. They climbed and descended, curved and meandered. High up every mountainside were towers and larger buildings to provide the dwarven tunnels inside the mountains with fresh air and a means of defense. Each one of the peaks had … Continue reading The White Badge of Deceit; Chapter 7
