Chapter 95

Chapter 94

Fire In the Soul

I fly home to Downing as fast as the wind and the beastie will carry me. Janvier’s words chase themselves around and around my head as we swoop over muddy fields, and gushing rivers, over castles and v...

Lich Please 92: Rags to Liches

Chapter 92

Rags to Liches

With great satisfaction I watch as Janvier’s body collapses in on itself. Gleaming motes cluster around the ruins of flesh before imploding inwards. The lich king is vanquished. All that remains is a whi...

Lich, Please 91: Ninety-Nine Problems

Chapter 91

Ninety-Nine Problems

The undead abominations smash into the shield line. I catch a glimpse of mad eyes, rotting flesh peeling back from bared teeth and outstretched limbs before the world explodes into chaos. The abomina...

Lich, Please 90: The Audacity of This Lich

Chapter 90

The Audacity of This Lich

It looks like everyone has survived the underwater trip. More or less. The void knights are slightly more rusted, the wights and draugr even more bedraggled than usual, and in some cases, draped...

Chapter 86

Ghouls Just Want to Have Fun

The heart I no longer possess is bursting with joy. I do not believe Phylas would have spoken to me thus if Janvier was missing his phylactery. The same phylactery that rests at my...

Maud

Baconstrap, who is a very dear friend and a very fine artist, painted Maud as a surprise. I'm a little blown away by this. So many emotions today.

The tree spirit throws the wrapped crown at me, and then darts behind a trunk. The package hits me in the chest and then falls to the forest floor.

“I don’t want it,” he shouts, peeking around the t...

Author Note:

Just to let you all know I’ll be going KU (Amazon exclusive) with arc 1 and 2 of liches from the 28th or so of May. What this means practically is that I will need to remove chapters 1-64 from RR. I will keep updating RR with arc 3 (Lich, Please), as usual, and it won’t aff...

Chapter 81

Slow Tides

The Beastie dines on the contents of the goblins head - the memories, at least, I don’t let it touch the meat. When it is finished, I place the dazed creature on the ground. He will wake rememberi...

Lich, Please 79: Crawl

Crawl

How long has it been a ruin? It is hard to tell, but these are not ancient stones like Dunbarra Keep, if I am any judge. My research tells me this castle was occupied until recently. Like the people of M...
