Pushing away the exhaustion, I managed to stand, albeit a little wobbly. There were more messages, other than the one telling me that I had gained experience but for now, I ignored them, focusing on Sigmir who had fought the thing up-close and personal.

My spell completed and a javelin-sized icicle was launched towards the rabid wolverine, cutting through the air with a whistling sound. It hit the wolverine just as it tried to launch itself at Sigmir, staggering it and giving her precious moments to brace herself. I started to const...

I had to try for a few minutes to convince the others that I was fine. Especially Sigmir was a little worried after I first started to uncontrollably shake and vomit, before conjuring up a glob of incredibly cold liquid and gargling with that glob. The sudden cloud of freezing cold m...

I kept myself consoled in Sigmir’s arms as much as possible, trying to ignore the cruel world around me. I let Adra deal with the family that had given us boarding, especially when, shorty before dinner, Liaste’s parents returned from their work. That got me slightly interested, ...

After a short look amongst ourselves, we accepted the quest to hunt down that wolverine. Partially because it would give us some juicy experience and partially because it would allow us to conserve what little coin we had earned in Kolyug.

After we had abandoned any plans on seriously going after the centaurs, we stumbled on the first village near the ancient road. There had been a centaur camp, which we had carefully avoided and ignored, not wanting to stir that pot, but seeing the village late in the afternoon, we de...

It had been two days since meeting the first supply-team and since then, we had met one patrol and another supply-team. It seemed that my first instinct, that they heavily used the ancient road, had been correct but it also highlighted something vastly different. Part of me had held ...

We discussed our options for a bit, mainly refining the two ideas I had presented and what we ultimately decided on was to mostly play dumb and if that failed, we had violence as a viable alternative.
We’d simply head down the ancient road, seemingly unaware that there was a ...

When I climbed into the capsule, muscles I didn’t knew I had were staging a protest about the abuse I had put them through. After Shifu had surprised me, his wife had sought me out, telling me that now, she would teach me. I was rather perplexed, not quite sure why she was offering...

“Well, that clinches it.” I muttered, looking through my scrying spell, watching the centaur camp.

If I ever wanted to know what it felt like to be inside the body of a bell when it was rung, I felt like I had an adequate approximation. Even if Lenore had managed to pull our mind back a little, whatever item the Centaurs had used had resonated through the magic I had used to attac...

We got back to our current campsite after a bit of walking, but none of us felt tired enough to sleep, despite the sojourn into the centaur-camp. After a moment, to make sure that Sigmir knew everything was alright, I took Rai aside under the guise of a lecture. I was curious what he...
