Running from the Gnolls
Dry pine needles scattered as Liske ran down the steep hillside. The muscular dragonborn was wearing dark clothes and a hood making him look like a professional in shady business, but for the time being he was concerned only about staying one step...
Blue Tongue Lizard
From the pen of William Brightshire, Esq.: I called the lizard my manservant, but in reality he was a slave--a war trophy taken on one of the endless campaigns of expansion our dear motherland tends to wage at the drop of a hat. Do not get me...
Blue Tongue Lizard, part 2
From the pen of William Brightshire, Esq.: I write you again, my friend, to continue the strange story of my lizardman servant and I. Why I started penning down my thoughts I am not sure--perhaps as a confessional, or as an account of my...
Lloyd & Dan
Bitter wind ruffled Lloyd's fur and bit into his neck, chilling him to the bone despite his rugged leather jacket and jeans. The graveyard laid listless and bare under the grey sky which could not decide between rain and sleet, and offered both...
The Kobold Thief Strikes!
The rattling and clanking of the train as it traveled down the tracks felt oddly peaceful. As James lounged on the seat in their cabin he felt his eyes begin to droop closed. He had spent nearly the entire night supervising the servants as they packed...
Part 1: Rolf & Abraxas meet
Rolf knew it was the end for him. He was strong and experienced outdoorsman, the best of his tribe, but the storm had not relented even for a day. The constant hail of snow and freezing cold had slowly sapped away first his supplies and then his...
Reis and the Hellhound
Reis descended into the bowels of the Earth. The service door guarding the entrance had been lit by a single dull light bulb that was dying slowly, and the keys he had stolen jiggled rustily in the lock. Eventually he had forced the door to creak open,...
Malik's Delight, part 1
The tavern was not an easy place to find by accident. One had to take a turn into an unremarkable alleyway, clear a corner and descend a narrow stone stairs to an unmarked wooden door, then knock and wait politely before getting ushered in. Inside, the...
Nobleman & Dragon II
James woke up after a well slept night to discover that his bed was tilted in an unusual direction. He felt vaguely guilty for not fretting more, after such a momentous discovery he had made the very last night, but sleep had come to him easily and he...
Little Flowershop of Love, part 2
(The story continues from where we last stopped...) After exposing his love canal to his human's gaze, Dargu made a raspy, throaty noise like a large feline purring in heat. “Fill me with your thick human seed, Kei!" He snapped at the...
Enter the Rival
Rolf sat on a ledge and sulked. He had been on a hunting trip with Abraxas, riding on the dragon’s back like a king as they split the howling winds together, and now he was reduced to a mere bait to lure his friend into jeopardy--and what annoyed...
Rolf & Abraxas, part 2
Rolf sighed and stared into the crackling fire, pulling the furred cloak tighter around his bare body. Smoke from cheerily burning pine branches rose in a faint wisp along the cathedral-like cavern's high walls, trailing between the venerable...
