"I am most certain it was Malachi. He granted "boons" to several townspeople. He even helped Zeira escape a dire situation. With the caveat that Zeira set the clock to a time of the Master's choosing. "Zeira perished in Avantguard, but i think perhaps we should find those people ...

Esmerelda blushes at Dallid's praise. Her fingers never stopping, she continues to hem as he and Zydana discuss the Master. As they speak she seems to be thinking very hard and eventually speaks (OOG sorry for the tardy response- I lived at work last week) "When we were trapped in the book in t...

Pinning the last of the blankets on the line, Esmerelda hurried back inside to the warmth of the keep. Doing laundry in the cold was not one of her favorite things! Coming through the door, the scents of the mornings baking made her smile. They'd been lucky to find some honey with a trader a few day...

Wow. I think that's a good word to sum up the event. I only ever was really "hooked" for one plot, but I was the busiest this event that I was in a very long time. Although if I had a copper piece for every time I heard "Can I talk to you? It's important" I think I would have had...

A formal letter is posted on the wall of the inn, bearing the Queen's seal: Attention Citizens of Haven, This Friday evening, at the hour of 10 candlemarks past midday, there will be an inquiry held into the actions of Abbadon. Any and all citizens are welcome to attend this hearing, to voice any co...

She takes the note from Serith with a sigh. "More and more notes.." She reads it over and then gently places a hand on Serith's shoulder. "I know you were always with us. And I know you have your reasons for the way things played out. I do not blame you for anything." She folds t...

A chill wind blew across the castle courtyard and swirled around the base of the tower. Leaning out over the rail, the young Queen shut her eyes and leaned into the gust. Soon the snow would come and it would be too dangerous to walk the towers with the ice. So she fully intended to enjoy what might...

Esmerelda reads the note with a frown.

"I think we need to talk."

She pulls Dallid into her room and shuts the door.

Esmerelda nods to Ark and Legion. "Thank you for your quick responses. I aplogize, I was not in any mortal peril. Merely shock and disgust that one such as he would attempt contact again." Her voice drips anger and contempt. Taking a deep breath, she turns to Dallid. "Issues?" He...

White faced, she turns to Dallid.

"How dare he!" she stammers in rage and fear.

She hands him the piece of paper.

It was a low key night at the keep. For once there wasn't a sudden crisis that needed to be dealt with immediately- no monsters attacking, no visions of the end of the world. Supper had been a merry affair, with much joking and a calm sense of comraderie enveloping all who were present. The dishes w...

Happy Birthday Eric! Hope you have a wonderful one.

Adam and I should be in- and we have crash space available as well. Let me see what I can find for ticket discounts- we get coupons for them all the time.

Esmerelda takes the handkerchief from the warrior with a puzzled expression for a moment then realizes she's been crying. Wiping her face, she gives him a small smile at his words but it does not reach her eyes. "Thank you. And I know that inaction does not sit well with you. It's that very tra...
