“Esme? What would you like?” I asked. She glanced down at the drinks menu, then looked up at me and smiled broadly. She leant forward, highlighting her assets.
“I’ll have whatever you’re having, Bob dear.” She winked at me. I could feel the air around Jez...
2025-06-26 16:34:20 +0000 UTC View PostI pondered the orb. The small crystal sphere sat neatly in my palm, and I stared into its depths. As with so many magical trinkets, and in fact life itself, intent was everything.
A series of glowing ellipses appeared in the centre of the ball that shifted and flowed. One ...
2025-06-25 20:13:15 +0000 UTC View Post“Sir Bob! What a state you’re in! Come on in and have a drink,” Esme called from where she was dropping some bowls of stew off with other patrons. She turned, looked at me over her shoulder, and walked back towards the bar. Her buttocks bobbed like ripe fruit on stor...
2025-06-25 20:11:33 +0000 UTC View Post“No, Bob. You can’t keep him! Where the hell is he going to live?” snapped Kat as I held up my badly bruised new pet in one claw. A brown eye opened and started to pulse red, but I gave him a shake, and he stopped the attack.
“Bad Bun-Bun! Be nice to Auntie K...
2025-06-24 19:25:23 +0000 UTC View PostAt our second meeting, Mick still reminded me of a human-scaled Goblin, his long droopy nose touched the froth on his ale every time he raised his tankard, which he had to wipe off on his now-damp sleeve.
“Mind if I join you for a minute, Mick?” I asked, waving at the seat opposite him....
2025-06-23 20:07:52 +0000 UTC View Post“Your very good health, sir!” I raised my tankard of ale and toasted my companion. He took a long drink and placed the cup down delicately. He turned it slowly so the handle pointed directly at his chest. It was a slightly awkward moment, then he looked up and met my eyes. 2025-06-22 19:28:24 +0000 UTC View Post

2025-06-17 21:05:50 +0000 UTC View PostI stuck my head around the edge of an even more impressive Portal Of Doom and quickly scanned across the boss’s space. In cages around the room, a number of cultists were engaged in pretty gruesome acts of mutual torture, thrashing around in pleasure. The rest of the walls were line...

We need to get some more stuff for him.” I glanced lovingly at the crystal ball Tex had given me. It was twinned t...
