It was all taste buds and palate for the mindscape ...
2023-09-18 22:10:25 +0000 UTC View PostWhen the new realm was created, Sammy refused to actually step foot in it immediately — instead, she touched up on its details from afar, mostly to adjust what was available in the bakery for added variety. Someone or another was not going to want a donut or pastry, so it needed some savory opt...

After this, they proceeded thro...
2023-09-12 22:02:11 +0000 UTC View PostSammy had Dart land in a tree some distance away for observation of the scene, not wanting him to end up shot out of the sky if detected. For the most part, the group was not in any high state of alarm or caution, though. She was sure they’d have sentries on watch when they slept, but they were...

Samantha said nothing to the guy immediately. She made her staff disappear and altered her illusion to cloak her armor, making her appear much as before so she could release the more outward illusions, including the audio.
