Mage Tank Volume 1 (1-75 + Epilogue)

Here is all of Volume 1 (Published chapters 1-75, plus Epilogue) together in one place with cuts and edits for pacing and consistency. The cuts led to some chapters being condensed so there are fewer total chapters listed, but it covers all the co...

Fortune's Folly Level 6 Character Sheets

Hello! A couple of people asked if they could see the character sheets for the main party members so I wanted to make them available as a resource. These are the sheets as of level 6, which is the party's level post-Mimic Delve.

“Grotto?” I said, looking over the small dude.

He was three feet tall, although his robes dangled down to cover his feet, so he may have been shorter. He was bald and bare-faced, looking l...

MT 90 - Fix My Build

Varrin trotted up to the scene, still lacing up his pants and looking over the damage.

“What happened?” he asked. His ice-blue eyes were puffy from sleep.

“There are many who are worried,” said Nuralie. “Between the avatars and Litta, there is much to be concerned about.”

“True,” I said. “What’s going on in Eschendur and whatever Orexis...

MT 86 - The Why

MT 86 - The Why

[The concept of virtue–a dubious quality, if it exists at all–is invalidated by its wanton pursuit! You’ve sacrificed might in exchange for nothing but empty self-platitudes!]

“But first!” I said, looking around the table. “Would any of you like to hear the evolution I picked for reaching Dimensional twenty?”

MT 82 - Tanking Mimicry

MT 82 - Tanking Mimicry

The ‘malformed and misshapen’ Mimic began to grow dozens of eyes over its body that spun and locked onto us, gummy and seeping thick fluid like they were infected. Limbs sprouted from its bulbous form w...

If I had to play ‘Marry, Fuck, Kill’ with my active abilities, Oblivion Orb is the skill I’d marry. It was reliable, flexible, affordable, and it got the job done when things needed t...

MT 79 - Royal Mimicry

“You think the whole Delve is a mimic?” Varrin asked. His tone was genuine, without a hint of incredulity toward my theory. It said a lot about our experiences as a group that the idea could be floated wi...

MT 77 - Cadaverous Mimicry

“It’s the corpse in the middle,” I whispered. “Gotta’ be.”

Our journey deeper into the Delve had gone mostly unimpeded. As was typical, our course took us down. The maze of rooms clutte...
