Chapter Four-Hundred Eleven

Tarl, Berdol, and Olander stand near the trunk of the Tree of Cycles, all of them nicely warmed up by the encounters.  I could have probably tipped them more toward tired, since I don’t expect any actual fights with my denizens, but it’ll...

“Stop pouting, Boss.”

I’m… mostly not pouting.

Teemo chuckles as he sits atop my core, as if I could somehow move it without him knowing, or relaying the order himself.  “Oh, ok.  It sure looks a lot like p...

Peek: Investment Opportunity

Count Schmitty Werber Jager Manjenson the First relaxes in his carriage, swirling a glass of wine in his hand as he muses on the events of the day. He had only attended the supposed funeral on a whim, deciding his territory near Meeting was safe ...

Peek: Another Brick in the Wall

Kardul spends more time than he'd like to admit at the inn, sipping tea and chatting with Halae. She knows a lot of the places around the city, including an alchemy supplier he should check with: the Bounteous Cauldron. She hasn't been there her...

I feel kinda bad for the Earl.  It’s difficult to feel too bad, though, as I can literally read his transgressions as they etch themselves into his skin.  I’m not happy to see him writhing in pain on the floor like that, but...

Peek: Birthday Pho

There won't be a chapter monday because I'll be spending the time with my mom for her birthday. But, before anyone considers rioting, I'll be posting the new chapter here, later today, too. And, to give a bit of meat to this peek, how about the ...

I didn’t expect so many people to show up.  We didn’t exactly give a whole lot of time, so I was expecting the people who would want to be there would mostly be locals.  Considering how many are nobles… it’s probably the Earl’s...

Peek: Small Steps

Kardul greets the dawn with an eager smile. He has the permit to start Lord Thedeim's new church here in Horlon City, so now he just needs to get the deed. But first, he should get something to eat. If he's going to be negotiating for a land co...

Peek: Made to Order

Order doesn't often get to be bemused, so he enjoys it while it lasts as Thedeim tries to get his attention by shaking the quest notification. Who even gets the idea to try it? Thedeim, clearly. Still, it's not difficult to guess why the odd du...
