Traptap 7: Creature of the Night
Korriana was woken by the roar of a beast and the sound of wood being torn and scattered. She the rest of the wagon was slower to rise, so she had to climb over someone to get out of the wagon. On instinct she had her satchel and staff in hand, ready...
Type Disadvantage
It was a beautiful evening with the most comforting sunset, but Joulie was hard at work. She was a tax collector, and the job sometimes required odd hours. Not everyone was available during the work day hours, especially not the paupers she had the...

Keys to my Loin
"Go out and meet people," Mother had said, "Don't be such a homebody." Well, there I was, somehow both alone and surrounded by people. I had no idea what I was doing, other than nursing a drink and trying to identify what exactly the DJ was playing....
