“It’s not like Dwarves are known for their stealth and subtlety. When she’s practically invisible, how am I supposed to know if she's there or not?” Joe grumbled to himself as he worked out his defensive rituals once more. He was using the remainder of his rigid tiles, stone that didn’t...
2022-04-15 11:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostJoe had finished with his defensive rituals, and was eagerly looking forward to testing them out. As they were his first try, and he had designed them to be Beginner rank, they were kind of… weak. For use in Svaltarheim, they were practically useless by themselves. Having realized this well in ...
2022-04-13 11:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostQuest updated: Novice Rituarchitect II. Buildings created: 3/10.
Eyeing the message as he listened to the odd sound of brand-new screws biting into wood all by themselves, Joe licked his lips and whispered, “Soon, my sweet class experience. Soon.”
To be fair, eac...

2022-04-08 11:00:06 +0000 UTC View PostThe day was sinking into late afternoon by the time Joe and Major Cleave were approaching the main entrance to the Shoe. In a bid to take their time slowly getting to know each other better, they had taken the long route home. Joe had found that even though she seemed cold and distant, that was s...
2022-04-06 14:12:49 +0000 UTC View PostJoe and Cleave stood next to each other, staring up at the rickety sign with ‘temp agency’ scrawled across it. The human looked at the Dwarf askance, “Are you sure about this place? As far as I can see, people don’t come here because they’re… skilled.”
“Take my advi...
2022-04-04 14:27:47 +0000 UTC View Post“Bauen, sorry to say, I have another request to make.” Joe skid to a stop atop some rubble, his leap over here having him landing on some shattered roofing. “I need to find someone that can help me design a building. You have any architects in your entourage?”
“No…” Bauen paus...
2022-04-01 17:39:50 +0000 UTC View PostJust over an hour later, Joe was inscribing the final circle of Damaged Aspects onto a flat square tile. His plan of working for a solid hour and being done with the first quest had been only slightly thrown off by wanting to explore the workshop.
The majority of the area was an op...

He ran, jumped, and skipped—whatever he needed to get ahead of any pursuers. Joe was over halfway to the Shoe before he remembered to stop and look at his notifications, so he hopped to the top of a tree...
2022-03-28 11:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostJoe entered the city at a light jog, with Captain Cleave easily keeping pace. They had made excellent time, knowing that there was a better chance than not that Havoc had sent his golem to chase him for the entire trip. Joe hadn’t seen it anywhere, but all that had done was ramp up his...

2022-03-13 17:27:50 +0000 UTC View PostThe next few hours were notable only in their confusion: a jumble of turns that left Grant’s head spinning. Moving through the Labyrinth was a lesson in frustration; every time he tried to work his way closer to the area where Suki should have entered the maze, he would hit a dead end or find h...
2022-03-11 12:00:07 +0000 UTC View PostThe pain in his chest was the first thing that Grant noticed when he jolted awake. Looking down, he discovered a piece of metal sticking out of his chest. His armor had stopped it from penetrating deeply, but it had still stabbed firmly into his pectoral muscle.
<Finally! I was ...
2022-03-10 17:07:51 +0000 UTC View PostActually getting inside the casino turned out to be very anticlimactic, even if Grant was utterly hollow inside from nerves. The gate guards were more focused on the commotion caused by the fallen building and their trapped compatriots than the downtrodden people trying their luck inside the casi...
2022-03-09 12:01:02 +0000 UTC View PostAfter going back and forth on their respective responsibilities, the two of them settled on a plan. Suki took a running leap over to the nearest building to get into position, and Grant pulled free several more bricks in a notch around the section of the chimney that they wanted to fall. He then ...
2022-03-08 12:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe thunderous exhalation echoed down the alley, forcing both him and Suki to shift into near-panic mode. They huddled together against the filthy wall in the dark alley, waiting for someone to turn and look for the source of the noise. Yet, it didn’t happen. The marching of all the soldiers wa...
2022-03-07 12:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe first few rounds of the poker game went to a man with a thin pencil mustache. He always seemed to have cards just barely good enough to win, and his bets and grin both started to grow larger as time went on. Grant waited quietly on the sidelines, watching as Suki steadily lost chips....
2022-03-04 12:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostAfter they both had some rest, Suki and Grant got serious about practicing a few select card games. Grant was particularly fond of the strange game ‘twenty-one’. It was simple, and he didn’t have to worry about whether the other player was being honest or not.
Poker, the one he was to...

2022-03-02 16:27:57 +0000 UTC View Post“Well, that was a colossal failure.” Suki gingerly rubbed some ointment on the burn where her gauntlet touched her shoulder. “I can’t believe we fell for such a simple trap.”
“I don’t know; it doesn’t seem that bad.” Grant was doing his best to wedge the door to the abando...
2022-03-02 12:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostIt did not, in fact, take until dark before they walked into the casino. Suki had mostly given up on Grant’s ability to bluff by lunch, and they had devised a new plan by the time they were done eating.
“Okay, going over it one last time.” Suki kept fiddling with the cloth covering th...
2022-03-01 12:00:00 +0000 UTC View PostGrant was awakened by a stream of light coming through a crack in the rafters and hitting him in the eyes. The blinding glare made him wax philosophical as his brain kicked into gear. Namely, the thought flowed through his mind like water: How did the sunlight always find a way to get him, no mat...

The two of them had split up, come back together, moved onto rooftops when possible, doubled back a few times, and even set up a fake campsite inside an old bakery. Thick smoke slowly drifting from a partially blocked oven chimney would hopefu...
