Chapter Three-Hundred Seventy-Two

The trio easily enter the Forest of Four Seasons after a quick inspection of the cemetery.  With the wolf spawner moved out, the whole place is a lot more peaceful, and so simpler for them to inspect.  The three greet Grim, who waves as ...

Peek: The Shrouded Bog

Ah, it's not often we see fog in our Wanderlands, much less fog this thick. Build the campfires bright, not only to drive away the fog, but to give me the perfect lighting for the tale of my most harrowing delve.

Yes, that should do. Now, th...

They head into the crypt complex with Teemo riding shoulders as he sees fit.  He ends up sticking mostly with Berdol, since Tarl and Olander are a lot more physically active when they fight.  Berdol, on the other hand, can  mostly k...

Several familiar feet walk through the manor gate, and I couldn’t be happier to see them.  Berdol, Olander, and Tarl all look kitted up for a proper inspection, and I’m happy to see it.  It’s always fun to get to have a critical ey...

Summer Nudge!

It's been a while since the last nudge, but it felt like there were a lot of good suggestions to go through, too. So it's that time again, to get a fresh nudge going and see what else you all might like to see in the peeks! If you've made a sugg...

Peek: Peace and Quiet

Deep in the wilderness, mana slows and eventually stops, giving rise to stagnation. The Rangers do their best to patrol and disturb the peace and quiet, but they are simply too few to mobilize for simpler, shallower stagnation. They concern them...

Violet and Onyx are trying not to panic, while Teemo and I are having a good laugh.  The little oozes really are a good beginner encounter, but Onyx needs to learn to ramp up the groups slowly, instead of sending practically every last one al...

Dear mom and dad,

Laineir and I are doing well after the academy. Our new post is... out of the way, but after the hustle of the academy, I think we're both grateful. We only have to watch over two dungeons, and one is just a month or two ...

Teemo does his best to not snort at Tupul’s resolve.  “The boss and I like your spirit, Tupul, but don’t go pledging to the cause without knowing what we’re asking.”  The elf still looks pretty firm in wanting to try, which is ...

I decide to forgo the usual raven-delivered letter to Rezlar to ask about a meeting.  Those are for things that aren’t too time sensitive, but if Cappy is right, we should try to get ahead of this thing before the guild can actually do what...

Zorro and Cappy want my attention.  When two Spymasters say you should hear something, you should probably listen.  It’s a little weird getting him into the secret war room, with Onyx carrying a little planter with a bit of hi...

Vera smiles as she sits in a pew with the other followers of Lord Thedeim. Her husband, Heno, gives the sermon, and she'd feel worse about leaving it to him if he wasn't so good at it. And if she could stand for the hour it generally takes.
