[EOE] (316) 5.12. Dirty Bubbles

“Whatever you’re thinking about, don’t do it!” Scule cried as he swam through the air, splashing into the same bubble Vin was in and turning to poke his head out. “You’ve got that stupid look on your face that always gets us in trouble...

[TEA] (185) 4.27. How’s The Paid Leave?

Upon hearing how the lich they were after had already summoned two more greater demons and realizing that they needed some additional firepower, Asher had immediately thought of Moxy as his first choice, devoting most of his brain power toward com...

[TEA] (184) 4.26. An Offer You Can’t Refuse

Asher was admittedly surprised when Top Hat actually came through with his payout, congratulating him on his winnings and letting him know the arena hoped to see him around. Six hundred thousand shards was a massive amount outside of noble circles...

[EOE] (315) 5.11. Water Under and Over the Bridge

As they skimmed across the water, with Vin pumping as much air into the sail as his spell could handle, they explained to Alka what had happened since she’d been gone. The plan to escape the warana had been simple, yet shockingly effective.

[TEA] (183) 4.25. A Tough Pill to Swallow

Asher was brought back to the very first time he’d witnessed a full on battle involving elements from the people of this world. He’d been in the middle of rescuing Rosh from Loratta’s compound when Draken’s coalition had attacked the main ...

[EOE] (314) 5.10. Fishing for Slayers

Vin spent the rest of the afternoon answering questions from Paul and Eleanor, before the two of them decided they needed to take some time to digest everything. They weren’t all that happy to hear that they’d need to spend another night on th...

[TEA] (182) 4.24. What are the Odds?

The noise and electricity in the air yesterday couldn’t even hold a candle to the current state of the underground arena. Every single available seat had been snagged by someone in preparation for the big match, and Asher was glad they’d arriv...

[EOE] (313) 5.9. Ribbit Rally

Getting to watch the warana pilot their lily pad with nothing but their breath was quite interesting, and Vin felt his Common Ally passive grant him a little more information about the new race of people they’d discovered. The warana were amphib...

[TEA] (181) 4.23. Brainblast!

Asher and Samantha watched Moxy bask for a few moments in the aftermath of winning her fight before she turned and walked out of the arena. A young man hurriedly opened the cage door for her as she reached it, and Moxy nodded at him before vanishi...

[EOE] (312) 5.8. Talk About Hot Air

The five of them all looked at one another, before peering over the side of the cloud they were standing on. Already, some of the marine life was returning with the monsters gone, but none of them could see further than a few dozen feet below the ...

[TEA] (180) 4.22. Is That Moxy?

Asher had to admit, he wasn’t sure exactly what reaction he was going to get from the various goons when they realized they were trapped. Part of him expected them to drop their weapons and fall to their knees, begging for mercy as they assumed ...

[EOE] (311) 5.7. Not A Hugger

Water enveloped Vin as he fell beneath the surface and tried to keep his bearings about him. The water was murky enough that he could see a dozen or so feet in front of him, but anything beyond that was too difficult to make out. He knew from his ...

[EOE] (310) 5.6. Sailing the Low Seas

To Vin’s surprise, Shia decided she would in fact be tagging along on their quest to find the missing Earthers. While monsters would decompose far faster than regular creatures would and getting as much of the magic-dense epic monster ove...

[TEA] (179) 4.21. Information Gathering is Easy!

As much as Asher enjoyed the company of Brant and his team of mogrants, there had to be something said about the ability to fly from one city to another in only a few hours. While Samantha wasn’t quite as fast as a pegasus whilst carrying him on...

[EOE] (309) 5.5. One Down. A Lot to Go.

Vin knew asking for a few hundred suits of armor or the metal required to make them was a tall ask, and he hadn’t expected to get them without doing anything in exchange by any means. But he was still surprised by what Nohral asked to get in ret...

[TEA] (178) 4.20. Let’s Get Started

The next day, after informing Bellod of their preferred date for the auction of their goods and dropping off the lich’s three staffs for the man to thoroughly check over for anything resembling a curse, Asher and Samantha shared a heartfelt fare...

[EOE] (308) 5.4. One is Better Than None

Vin’s successful adjustment of Sense Soul was a fantastic revelation, but he quickly discovered things weren’t going to be quite as easy as he’d hoped. He spent the next hour doing a loop of Terra’s fragment, casting ‘Se...

[TEA] (177) 4.19. Mild Reassurance

“Asher. To what do I owe the pleasure?” Donvath asked, glancing up from his desk. It turned out, while the High Prince seemed to prefer spending his downtime in one of his beanbag-filled lounge rooms, Donvath did in fact have an official offic...

[TEA] (176) 4.18. A Sudden Goodbye

Once Bellod had regained consciousness and finished his initial examination, the auction master explained that he would need a week’s worth of time to both finish appraising and organizing the different books, as well as to give the kingdom’s ...

[EOE] (307) 5.3. A Rather Small Tweak

Of the six fragments surrounding Terra, only one of them was easily traversable and entirely devoid of people. Thus it was that Vin found himself jogging through the red desert directly south of them, marveling at his fire resistance amulet as he ...

[EOE] (306) 5.2. Why, That Was Downright Decent

Throughout his many travels, Vin had encountered no end of friendly faces and people he enjoyed being around. Erik, the grandfatherly dryad from the Sacred Forest who was always happy to listen to his adventures and help in a pinch. Eithan, the he...

[TEA] (175) 4.17. Best I can do is Five Bucks

To his credit, Bellod got over his shock at the body of a lesser demon appearing before him out of thin air rather quickly. The man clearly hadn’t earned the title of auction master by being bad at his job, as he quickly snapped into action, jer...

[TEA] (174) 4.16. For Sale

The rest of the wizard tower didn’t hold anything worth noting, and Asher and Samantha wrapped up their investigation before long. In the end, their haul included ridding the universe of another chunk of demon forces, as well as collecting a sol...

[EOE] (305) 5.1. So… Where are They?

“Talk about an overreaction, am I right? You would have thought none of these people had ever seen a mile-long, gigantic monster made entirely of flesh and evil before!”

“Spur,” Witherson frowned, looking none too happily at the Comm...

[TEA] (173) 4.15. The Hidden Sticks

Never before had Asher run out of energy solely from overusing Personal Rift, but he supposed there was a first time for everything. By the time they’d cleared out the library, he’d had to pause on two separate occasions to catch his breath an...

[EOE] (304) 4.83. The Fifth Wave

As per usual, the moment the battle came to an end, all those who participated wanted nothing more than to sit down and relax.

Unfortunately for them, there was far too much that needed to be done.

Despite his mana-headache, Vin let hi...

[TEA] (172) 4.14. Who Needs a Library Card?

Thanks to Eternal Regeneration and a heavy application of Samantha’s Soothing Spring skill, Asher was back on his feet in no time.

Which was good, as while it turned out there was only the one lesser demon left behind to greet anyone unfor...

[EOE] (303) 4.82. All Together Now

“It has to be some sort of natural defense mechanism,” Golrim postured, staring at the small army that was being grown out of nowhere. “It’s protecting itself so it can reattach without issue.”

“I don’t give a damn about the re...

[TEA] (171) 4.13. Surprise Renovations

Unfortunately, while Asher’s demon hunter class informed him that there were demons somewhere within the tower, it didn’t function like any sort of radar. For all he knew, they could be all the way down on the ground floor, or slowly creeping ...

[EOE] (302) 4.81. Don’t Worry, It’s Padded

Vin had all of about a half second to panic as he shot through the air before he felt a band tighten around his core and the world lurched around him. Rather than becoming the first Earther on Edregon to fly from one fragment to another, he was sn...
