I thought through the problem and turned back to Grotto. “Can you handle this alone?” I asked, nodding to the melee between his golems and the relentless blade weasels. He waved a feeler dismissively, so I turned and ran back towards the palis...
2025-12-20 11:22:22 +0000 UTC View PostYo, happy holidays.
I made a post on RR the other day talking a bit about stuff and things. I'll touch on what I said there and add some extra stuff here.
First, I've been taking some time to reconsider certain events happening in the...

2025-12-11 13:33:32 +0000 UTC View PostWe walked several miles through tight corridors crowded with roots, keeping our pace measured to ensure we didn’t wind up isolated. Eventually, we began to hear a soft ringing noise, and a few hundred feet later, came across a slightly wider sec...
2025-12-06 12:00:13 +0000 UTC View PostAbout two-thirds of our Dimensional group was Silver and would remain behind to guard the second perimeter. Ishi flew off to the Woodworking Dungeon, whereas Madel would accompany Clown Car and me to the Smithing Dungeon. She didn’t have Smithin...

I sat in silence, feeling the heat of Kai’s judgment, rolling the major’s words around in my head. I didn’t regret what we’d done, but it was a grim reminder of the cost of ou...
2025-11-13 08:10:02 +0000 UTC View PostIn a bit of role reversal, Nuralie had challenged all of the adversarial Littans to a game of hide and seek, which she was currently winning.
Presumably.
It’s not like I knew where she was. I assumed that meant she hadn’t ...
2025-11-11 05:23:49 +0000 UTC View PostWhile there was some discussion going on between the group of soldiers who seemed to represent the anti-Folly faction, I jogged to the sidelines and hopped up onto the bleachers. My party had taken up a position near General Connatis, who was hims...

2025-11-03 03:28:53 +0000 UTC View PostThere were virtually no consequences to airing all the world’s dirty laundry and then mic dropping a deific portal on the way out.
Mm-hmm.
Of course, that’s all a complete lie. Folks were rabid. We were insulated from most of the r...
