“How do I look?”
“You look like Xoc.”
Xoc flicked her ear and sent an exasperated look up at Winter Moon. The Dragon – or was she a Beastman who could turn into a Dragon? – looked back down at her with an innocent expression.

“If someone purposely set a building in your village on fire, what would you do?”

And I woke up in the hospital. Hopefully I'll be out again soon. I still have access to google docs, but editing will be sketchy on a phone. We aren't too far behind but expect a content dump rather than a regular release at some point.
Sorry for the delay!

Much to everyone’s relief, Liam’s read on Pierre Ulenieu seemed to be accurate. The Merchant asked no questions, made no comments, and most importantly of all, he paid in coin. Negotiations were straightforward, with Ulenieu simply offering them a price that he claimed was fair consider...

As it turned out, the whole damn city of Re-Blumrushur was only half on fire. It took a few hours going down the other side of the cloud-shrouded pass before Liam could survey the reported damage. The city at the bottom of the valley was still over a day distant, but he could still make ...

Preposterous.
In the pitch darkness of her suite on the Tenth Floor, Albedo sat on the floor, twisting the hem of her dress with a gloved hand.
Utterly preposterous!
