Chapter 13

And yes, I share. The Heroics spell lets me grant any combat feat to another, with no particular restrictions… and Spheres of Might has Extra Combat Talent, and those things are basically spells for mundanes. So we all get familiars (Beastmastery Sphere and Improved Pet), A...

Chapter 14

We did pick a pretty big city. Like everything around here, the place has a curtain wall (seriously: Even the smallest village we passed had at least a bunch of logs shorn of their bark stacked up in a giant wooden wall around every residence, and had people patrolling the thing...

Chapter 15

The city itself is busy and crowded. Here, we see thin folks with very pointy ears (elves), short and stocky people with thick beards (dwarves), slightly rotund adults the size of children (gnomes), thin adults the size of children (halflings), cat people (catfolk), fox people (k...

Chapter 16

There's a combo I want the money to do: First, summon my familiar. Having a valet will help with crafting, making it go much faster. Second, get a second familiar via the Extra Familiar feat (I'm getting the first via Ethe Extra Combat Talent feats, which I can get from Her...

Chapter 17

Alice chuckles as we sit down in my ship: “So… a question I've asked about a thousand times at the table: ‘What do you do?’ ‘We’ now, though.” “I'm feeling powerful, we could go and kick the King off his throne,” Brian suggests. “He was backed by a wizard who makes si...

Chapter 18

I start with Ears of the City again… it's a fun little spell, and only requires I be in the city. So… I start focusing on topics in the mass of shifting, scattered sounds from around the city. How can a few women at arms find short term work? “The mercenaries guild is alwa...

Chapter 19

“Okay, so,” the buxom blonde that is Brian begins, “Dungeons are the source of magic… at least according to the spell I just cast. Every village has one, unless they're close enough to a big city to be covered by that city's dungeon. I get the impression it's basically broadcast...

Chapter 20

“You're just signed up, and only copper rated. This is a Bronze dungeon.” The redheaded guild master cringe, “which is a shame, because the dungeon is due for a cleaning.” ‘We're new to the Delver's Guild,’ I improvise telepathically, ‘but we've worked together many times,...

Chapter 21

The dungeon geon is very brightly lit, with seemingly mundane fires every forty feet… but not keeping things warm. The place is literally freezing cold, the chill of the stones biting at us… but unable to get past the simple Resist Energy spells we all have up. The walls are ston...

Chapter 22

Two levels, almost three… we picked up a lot of experience down there. We settle into my ship and get to work. For my regular Freelancer side, I go with the Marshall's Minor Aura Motivate Charisma. It will let me add my Charisma a second time to all of my Charisma-based sk...

Chapter 23

Charles calls a Griffon: A majestic beast that has the body of a lion, the head and forelegs of a great bald eagle, and a massive pair of feathered wings. She is as big as a horse… and no saddle. They can't speak… but she understands common, and that Limited Telepathy Graft I can...

Chapter 24

We start by making everything invisible (Superior Invisibility, Spell Compendium), and warded against Divination effects (Mind Blank, Greater Magic Aura, Misdirection, and Nondetection… just to see how confused we can make anyone who tries). The trip back is fast: Wish Transport...

Chapter 25

When we arrive, both thrones are occupied. The king, yes, but now there's also a queen. An older woman, wearing a heavy crown taller than the King's. She has blonde hair, blue eyes, and a very flat expression. Focusing on Greater Arcane Sight, I find she's warded with Mind Blank…...

Chapter 26

No, I couldn’t just counterspell it. The spell was cast some time ago, he just triggered it. And sadly, I don’t have Trace Teleport running. So yes, he gets away. Mind you, I’ve seen him, so that will only last a short while: I can use Discern Location or Scrying to track him dow...

Chapter 27

I contact Charles via our “group chat” (an Interplanar Telepathic Bond spell): ‘Would you be particularly upset if I copied your mega mount?’ ‘Not really,’ my goddess replies, ‘I mean, it's all thanks to you that we have this power. It's okay if you use some of it.’ ‘...

Chapter 28

“What are you going to do…” he cringes, “mistress?” The deposed king visibly sweats as he asks. “Strip down to your skin,” Brian commands. The old man hesitates long enough for the tattoo to start burning, and he starts obeying as soon as it does, quickly leaving him...

Chapter 29

On the way back to the palace, I get to thinking: I was when I got here. I've been here for a few weeks, am I…? Well, there's a spell to answer that: Detect Pregnancy. A simple touch range, third party cantrip. One casting and… yep. I'm going to be a mother in eight and a...

Chapter 30

The messenger takes us not to the throne room, but a room with tables and maps where the queen waits without all of her regalia, along with two old burly guys in armor, the court mage from earlier, and a guy with a book, bag, and writing set. Queen Esmerelda Essex the Eight...

Chapter 31

The war is over in a few days, thanks to me. Esmerelda gathered her forces from all across the country, and hit the enemy capital from *inside* the castle walls, when the opposition was scattered across the border. Quick repeat at every major city and… well, Ms. Essex no longer n...
