Once we got past the entrance, we walked pretty unhurriedly. The biggest mistake people make when sneaking places is looking like they're sneaking places. If you look relaxed and like you're meant to be somewhere...
2022-11-13 20:10:14 +0000 UTC View PostMel had paid WAY more attention to us than I had expected. Not enough to know we were spies, but in a way that was even more impressive. She hadn't known we were special or anything, she had just watched us closely because we were part of the Pavilion. We were her people, and &n...

True to his word, Avery had breakfast waiting when we woke up. Some kind of purple oatmeal type stuff called grengin that I'd never heard of, but which kind of tasted like blueberries and cream despite having n...

It was time. We'd been keeping a weather eye on The Empty Door for days, and starting yesterday they'd begun making 'subtle' preparations for a conflict. Buying up supplies, reinforcing structures, clearing out d...
2022-11-11 21:29:00 +0000 UTC View PostMy head was spinning. I had more than a few crazy things to deal with right now, but I forced myself to focus on the negotiation. I figured I'd start it with an up front question. "Ok." I said. "What exactly is the point of all this? Why go through any of it. Why are we negotiat...

The temple of Dagon was surprisingly homey. Sure, it was huge, but it was somehow still down to earth. The walls were made of rough stone, all a warm brown color that gave the feeling of earth and growing things. Th...

They weren't exactly at the same level as Abel, but they were both obvious badasses who could most likely break us in half.

Doors and windows would be the weakest spots even with the protections. It made sense to create entry points like that too, because otherwise there'd be...
