While he languished in his prison cell Torgo had been sleeping fitfully and when awake praying for a quick death. His mangled legs prevented him from getting up and pacing about, and even rolling over on the floor was excruciating. The filth of the cell floor was getting worse every day but his captors had … Continue reading Torgo (Part 6)
Torgo (Part 5)
The Witch Queen was about to discover an infuriating fact about the mysterious Captain Divo Zucco.

Torgo (Part 3)
The Witch Queen normally used powerful illusions to project herself as a young, vibrant, and excruciatingly beautiful woman.

Sabre’s Vendetta
Captain Brass Sabre was an infamous scowler. He scowled at good news or bad, and if he was drunk or sober it didn't stop him from scowling. He had scowled almost from birth and nary a day went by that his face wasn't furrowed in a mixture of disgust, anger, and generally ill-disposed hostility. He … Continue reading Sabre’s Vendetta
