Khadija gasped and every muscle within her tightened as Bal stepped forward, threatening to cross the circular threshold surrounding Elianor. She fully expected to see Bal's flesh ripped from her bones in a violent flurry, ancient and...

Khadija groaned at Bal's question. Apparently the Cradle's myth was unable to penetrate the wall of ignorance that surrounded Prigalla. The question didn't even deserve an answer, and she let the bound woman speak.
Another soothsayer. She'd...

Three human figures moved through Atychía's mossgrown ruins like black shades stalked by a lupine shadow. A thick mist rose like the spirits of all the dead who sleep in the damned city. It softened the jagged form of crumbled...

"And how exactly do you want me to 'go see' what it is, in the dark?" came 'Bal's sharp retort. Evidently, she hadn't inherited the ability to see through darkness, common among many orcs and elves. Khadija sighed, listening to the...

Khadija cautiously hobbled down the stairs, each step a battle against fatigue and fear. Whatever bravado she summoned up during their fight with the spider had evaporated like morning mist. Her illusory flame cut through the...

Khadija darted back gracefully as the creature's limbs thrashed out in every direction blindly, tearing through decaying tomes and dusty air but not much else. Blood sprayed across the library, eagerly soaked up by moth-eaten pages as...

The crowd pushed and shoved, clubbed and punched like an undulating wave of corrupted flesh, bodies colliding in a grotesque dance. Blood, sweet and sickly, began to fill the cracks between cobblestones as teeth were sent flying...

The seconds felt like hours as Khadija pressed herself against the rotten bookshelf, saber primed and ready to strike at whatever grotesque, chitinous limb passed through the dark chamber's threshold.
Only nothing came. All that...

Sheraga's rebuke of Elspelth did little to soothe the growing mob as they pressed in closer and closer, pushing the party against the courtyard's western wall and nearly closing them in on all sides. Elspelth herself merely...

"If we are so interchangeable, as you say, why did you choose to drag me across the sand to this pit?" Bal retorted.
"Only to torture you, my crispy friend," Khadija replied. "But you're no Prigallan; not to them, anyways." She took...

"Been since that incident in the alley a couple weeks back! Holding up well? Got any Poxbane?"
Harrowgate hopped down from atop her cart to greet Arnou in full, complete with a vigorous handshake and slap to the...

"I won't be alive after another encounter without my armor," Bal groaned.
"Well, if it's any consolation, I don't believe any of us will be alive if we meet that thing again, so you'll be in good company," Khadija said, looking at...

As the gladiator's battle frenzy faded, Khadija could tell her wounds pained her deeply. She feared another fever, more delirium, and in the warrior's weakened state, it was uncertain if Bal'kafaz would survive. The mere thought...

Arnou led the others through winding and narrow city streets, tall and crumbling buildings pressing in from either side shading them from the midday sun. The city was constructed on no known paradigm, no uniform...

Khadija ceased her crazed chopping to watch in amazement as Bal leapt upon the spider's back, like some hellish smoldering meteor of flesh and fire and steel. She was pulled from her stupor as Bal's mad stabbing began, foul-smelling...

For a split second, Khadija was overjoyed her diversion worked. Then she felt the weight of six pale eyes descend upon her at once and realized just a moment too late what the creature's full attention meant. She staggered backwards...

Khadija watched as Aris scribbled in the journal, eager to read the woman's thoughts. Another exchange, pipe for journal. Khadija chuckled at the contents within, looking to Bal.

Khadija slogged after Aris, barely taking in the ruins of the Seeker home. The winding stairs were an affront to her wobbling legs, and there was little for her eyes to take in that wasn't coated in dust, vines, or filth from sources...

Khadija's Orcish outburst fell on uncomprehending ears. "I have no idea what you just said," Bal stated before simply walking off. Khadija cocked her head, watching the gladiator vanish into a nearby room. Does she not speak Orcish...

Mikaela's head whipped around to catch Arnou approaching. The young man was not pleased at their antics. He never was, so this came as no surprise to her. The privateer tried to recruit him to their band of brigands when he...
