Back in his suite, the elf pores over his notes, trying to make sense of what he saw from Rocky. Never in his wildest dreams did he think the zombie scion could do what he witnessed. He’s never seen liches...
2024-10-01 02:16:39 +0000 UTC View PostWarnd doesn't sleep especially well that night, his dreams a chaotic mishmash of high adventure and nighmarish failure. He wouldn't want to admit it to Lem, but he's excited for this. Fighting and delving is supposed to be for adventurers, not journeyman shipwrights!
Yet here he is now, abo...
2024-09-30 00:17:24 +0000 UTC View PostI have a bit of fun at Berdol’s expense as I watch him meet Violet’s other scions, and do the rest of the inspection. Olander looks like he’s mostly having fun, too, but I don’t miss the fact that he always keeps Onyx within his line of sight. He might have found Slimy to be c...

It will be good to get back home. Not only is she looking forward to getting back to what has come to feel like her proper place in the world, but being able to bring her people there as well makes all the difficulties o...
2024-09-24 01:46:19 +0000 UTC View PostWarnd's mind wanders as he lets Lem lead him to the outfitter. What kind of adventurer would he even make? Fun as it is to daydream of being something like a daring swashbuckler, reality pokes too many holes in trying to mimic a fighting style like that. For one, they aren't really known for t...

He’s been looking forward to this inspection
Inspecting Thedeim is still intimidating to the catkin, and he’s not certain he’ll be able to do it justice, but the dungeon’s protege is another story. He’s had...
2024-09-20 02:35:31 +0000 UTC View PostOlander meets with Coda at the manor porch, but they don’t have all that much to talk about. My nerd bat isn’t exactly a powerhouse in a fight, and I think the elf is still a bit distracted thinking over what Tiny had to say. Coda isn’t bothered too much, though. He’s be...
2024-09-17 02:08:13 +0000 UTC View PostWarnd heard good things about Fourdock. While his parents were born and raised as shipwrights in Gofnardale, the elf had been feeling stifled. While he enjoys designing and building ships, it's mostly repair work nowadays.
But Fourdock is supposed to be different. Though they haven't rea...
2024-09-16 00:36:41 +0000 UTC View PostIf I were still limited to just the manor, I’d probably be concerned with how Olander is tearing through my encounters. But, having more than a bit of experience with delvers now, I’m smiling right along with the elf as he rampages through my denizens.
I’m pretty impressed with ...

2024-09-10 02:03:57 +0000 UTC View PostIn the finest suite in the finest inn in Fourdock sits a desk. Atop that desk, and strewn about other nearby surfaces like the window sill and floor, lay the field notes of the Crown Inspector, who sits in the eye of the storm. Where some prefer voice notes, or taking notes while actually in the ...
2024-09-08 23:48:38 +0000 UTC View PostLooks like everyone will be home in about a week. Well, probably not Tarl, but everyone else. I’m looking forward to it. Leo and Honey haven’t been home in forever, feels like, and Queen and Thing seem pretty eager to get back to their home labs, even if their latest titles ...

It’s times like these that make her appreciate just how much work Larx, Vernew, Folarn, and Norloke do. She likes to think she’s been doing an admirable job of learning to delegate without just being lazy, but she’...
2024-09-03 02:25:11 +0000 UTC View PostTo be honest, he'd rather be fishing. Unfortunately for the Southwoods' newest scion, he has an important job to do. On the other hand, it's a job that still gives him more free time than he had feared. At least he's not the Stag. The Voice hasn't actually been home for all of the Bear's exis...
2024-09-02 00:32:42 +0000 UTC View PostThe rest of the inspection of Hullbreak goes pretty well. I might have missed a couple details while listening in on Onyx trying to explain why sewage is not tasty. As amusing as it is to listen to, it’s also very heartening for Hullbreak to invite the inspectors to his Sanctum.

Being chosen as Voice filled Onyx with conflicting emotions. On the one hand, being chosen is an incredible honor. On the other hand, it’s an honor she would have expected to go to Legs or Cappy. They’ve been wit...

Onyx should be coming out of her spawner soon, Hullbreak seems to have decided what spawner he’s going to add to his new cliff-side section, my own new section is starting to see curious delvers go deeper and deeper, and it even looks like Berdol is get...

Some of the denizens even worry their kind dungeon won't be able to bring himself to end the enemy dungeon, but those are the ones spawned after Neverrest. Those from before know when their dungeon goes to war.

The tall elf hums as he walks down the street, taking in what meager sights Fourdock has to offer. It’s hardly a run-down slum of a town, but it doesn’t compare well against the Capital, unfair as the comparison may...

This has probably been the busiest winter of Berdol’s life. Usually, the tabby catkin spends the snowy months in and around the Adventurer’s Guildhall, enjoying the warm hearth, good drink, and loud company. ...
So.
I need some denizens that are fun to fight. I need ones that will make the delvers shout “Oh, yes!” rather than “Oh, no…” I have some pretty strong ones, sure. I couldn’t have beaten the Maw otherwise, but there was also a bit of a tactical outmaneuvering i...

Violet, Hullbreak, and the Southwood all get working on their own projects as I let the forest of four seasons get settled. Southwood designates a bear scion and offers me a trade, which I’m surprised to see. I thought...
