It started off as one those days that made a man glad to be alive. Hot water for a change from the shower and fresh coffee and a fat maple bear-claw from Priscilla’s little push cart on the corner of 7th and Vine. The air was crisp and clean in the early fall, summer’s heat …

Interlude – Island Fortress…. The blind woman’s eyes blinked, the milky white hidden for an instant behind pale flesh. The unseeing eyes turned to point to the back of the heavily robed figure standing at the window, looking out at the rolling waves of the seas below. “Yes I felt it, Lady, Bokka Jothan is …

I wrote this up as a play test to get familiar with the rules and to have something to put on KoC to keep it fresh since we’re in a hiatus. I figure it might be of use to anyone planning on participating. Or just interested. Edit: A special thanks to Magnus on the Pinnacle …

Even the burning rains couldn’t conceal the odor of death as Stak moved up the last rise before reaching the cleared ground around the city. If anything the rains added another layer of stench, one of sulfur and brimstone. As he crested the hillock the scene he pulled up, momentarily shocked at the grisly scene …

Interlude – An unknown island in an unknown sea… “I strongly protest your decision Lord Kotar!” the slaver mage said, indignation and fury apparent in his voice. “Do you really Bokka? You think we should continue to lose resources to these people? We have the ship, I’ve sent teams inland after suitable… resources to let …

Interlude – On The Horizon “Kord’s balls, what the hell?” the guard exclaimed looking out at the east road. A naked figure was stumbling down the road, covered in blood. As it dropped in the packed dirt in front of the gate she could see it was not only naked but most of the skin …

Excuse the hiatus, we take one week off out of every four and last week we also had a huge snowfall to contend with that made it dangerous to get together. With any luck we’ll be playing this weekend. In the meantime – “Councilman with all due respect I believe the idea has merit. Council …

“I see unsuccessful you have been.” spoke a voice that was filled with guttural rasping. Image the sounds a person might make if they’d screamed for so long they were choking on their own blood, flesh ripped from the throat, vocal cords pulled so tightly they threatened to break with another sound, this might then …

Interlude – At Sea The sound of sobbing drew him to the bow of the boat. THe moon’s light was dim, hidden behind clouds. Thank the gods that they were normal clouds, not the swirling banks of dark grey clouds lit from within by green flaring lights that they’d left behind at the ancient city …

Interlude – Temple of Artificers Biminey looked up, cocking his head. The sound came again, the voice of one of Torel calling from outside the complex. He put down the scroll he was reading and removed the glasses. Rubbing his forehead he waited for the headache to go away making yet another mental note to …

Interlude – Elisssa “You smell that? What’s that remind you of? Smells like… snake.” a harsh voice cut through the evening air. “Hells no Marti, it’s something with scales alright but I’d say it’s more like dead rottin’ fish.” a sardonic voice replied loudly. Elisssa shook her head slightly. On the whole living in Larkson …

Interlude – Dra’kin Dra’kin leaned back on the lavender scented down pillow, the better to enjoy the view as his lover, Shuk continued stretching her body into positions that looked impossible for her. Born of human and orc she favored her human half more but still dense thick muscles covered her lithe frame, the skin …

Interlude Stak – He’d been sitting in the dockside bar for an hour now, listening to the talk, occasionally trying to nudge the conversation around him with a discrete question or a raised eyebrow. The ale was bad, green as hell but better than the water the gods knew. A loud clang drew his attention …

Biminey’s Interlude – A knocking noise, insistent and unrelenting, woke Biminey from a sound sleep. The shaft of light beaming through the closed shutters of the tavern room denoted it was well past morning. He’d been up most of the night deciphering scrolls that Keri, the cute little halfling friend of Dra’kin’s girl had recovered …
