Chapter 12

For once, you are not woken up with a sharp pain in your sides, but rather by Nihara's nudge into your shoulder. The circumstances still haven't improved much though. "Hey" she whispered as you stirred "Look alive Kromdor, bad news is coming our way" As you become more alert an...

Chapter 5

As you wait, a large squad of armored men come out, carrying a variety of blunt weapons. The shields they carry have the same insignia as the banners that fly about, making you suspect that they are some kind of military or guards. There's no pageantry indicating the arrival of a...

Chapter 23

She's hurting, it's obvious to see, and though you don't know the details, this is personal and about a man; someone she used to know. Whatever's going on, she's getting distracted, and likely about to get you both killed. You need a way to calm down this rage, and do it quickly....

Chapter 44

You quickly and quietly proceeded into the estate. You found it odd at first to find that Lord Diamant's private protection wasn't standing watch anymore, but as you pressed on, you discovered why. One of the soldiers lay on the ground, face down, a pool of blood under them. Your...

Chapter 54

You and the rest of the Runaways, after some rumination, decided that stealing from the Duke was a poor decision. Clodagh, with her enormous heart, didn't feel it right to take away something that, from the sound of it, the two of them needed to make their relationship work, such...

Chapter 61

Allemare was true to her word, in more ways than one. Her companions had in fact taken you on their journey, based on her word alone. You were both elated and surprised to be among such daring and storied company. Alongside Allemare the daring warrior of Bronzebark was Filegash t...

Chapter 9

"Okay, fine." You retract, pulling your previous statement in "so I'm not willing to do absolutely anything. Bedding you is off the table, I should think, but there must be some other kind of trade we can make" Ezra chuckles to himself "That's about the answer I suspected, and g...

Chapter 20

"It's different?" You ask incredulously, "Show me exactly how different this is" Scornfully, you push yourself away from the Colonel, and straight into the market square. You hear her try to stop you, as she probably has a good sense of what you're about to do. Her words fall on...

Chapter 22

The three of you are exhausted. You had hoped to stay in the city for the night before moving onto trekking on the streets again, but with all the chaos you caused, that's off the table, and you needed to get as far away as you could before guards or vindictive civilians start lo...

Chapter 27

You and Dilancia are dragged back to a prison cell like you were briefly held in before. The gate is closed but at least this time you're not chained to the wall. Your hands and feet are still bound by chains. "Sweet dreams lovelies. They'll be your last." The two of you collap...
