This a bad plan, Sophie yelled at Jason as they ran side by side. He was pouring on every bit of speed he could muster, while she was running backwards and still had to ameliorate her speed to match his.
This is a fantastic plan, he yelled back.

2020-05-21 23:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostShould we be getting out? Sophie asked as the cloud house continued to shake. What if the church collapses on top of the cloud house?
The cloud house was still hidden in the huge internal space of a cathedral.
At most, it would be the roof falling on us, Clive said....

Faster, Sophie said, catching every strike with her hand as she moved backwards, easily matching the pace of Jasons advance.
You dont need to hit hard, she said. If youre going to fight the constructs effectively, it...
2020-05-18 23:01:01 +0000 UTC View PostI'm trying to be more on the ball with these. I make no promises; I'm very flaky. Not literally, though. I don't have a skin condition or something. Why am I gibbering? You know what a metaphor is.
2020-05-15 23:06:00 +0000 UTC View PostThe Builder was now wearing Thadwicks face, but those that knew him would spot the difference immediately. There was a very different beast inside Thadwicks body and the change was startling. It began from the eyes, hard and unyielding. This was a gaze that knew its domain was everythi...
2020-05-15 23:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostJason could barely stand in the wake of Neils spell wearing off, but he determinedly pushed himself to his feet.
We need to move with alacrity, Shade said. The cults forces approach.
Jason nodded, pausing only to spare what was left of Anisa a brief glance. He was a...

2020-05-12 23:01:00 +0000 UTC View PostShades passage through the cultist camp had been easier than anticipated. The camp was divided into three sections; the tents, which was his access point, was the largest section. It was where the bulk of both the iron-rankers were gathered.

The cultists drew more than a little attention on their way down, the blue light slowing their fall making them stand out both visibly and magically. The result was a slavering p...
2020-05-08 23:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostOver the last week, the ambient magic in the astral had taken on a strange cadence. Like ripples on still water at the footfalls of a great beast, the very space around them was agitated. It grew stronger day by day, until even Sophie could sense it, and she had no magical senses at all. 2020-05-07 23:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post
I could feel the power he was throwing off like heat, Thadwick said, full of enthusiasm. I want that power.

It relinquished its bite on Neils neck, rearing back to let out an alien screech from its inhuman mouth. His jaw unhinged in macabre mockery of the formerly human anatomy. The mou...
