“Welcome to the party, Joe!” A guard shouted at him. It took a moment for Joe to remember the man’s name, it had been a while since he had talked to him, and he only seemed to appear during stressful situations.

“Uh… Jay! What’s happening?” Joe looked around and saw that there were various Mages blasting water at the burning barracks, and even more people were running toward the walls. 

“Under attack from, I don't know, some kinda col...

After spending the better part of an hour working to parse and understand the information that had filled his head with the addition of the new skills, Joe was feeling very pleased with the transition. the skills themselves seems to support each other in a way that he had not been expecting.

As he had expected, the ability to create ritual circles was the most basic portion of what he could do. With the alchemical component skill, he could almost completely alter...

HI guys! I just re-wrote a large section of this chapter, I was getting comments that Joe was wayyyy off his normal character, and you were totally right about that. Hope you like this better, and thank you all so much for the feedback. It makes the books better, and me into a better writer!

Joe and the Master enchanter walked out of the temple and over to a small restaurant that had recently Opened. They opened the door, but when Joe saw who was sitting at a ta...

“He broke his oath?” Joe's bald head furrowed as he worked to understand what that message meant. His eyes flew open, then narrowed in rage as it became clear. “That overly hair-conditioned peacock took one of the dungeon items with him! Come on everyone, use whatever you have to utterly destroy him as soon as we find him!”

“Calm down, Joe.” Jess walked into the area with a smile on her face. She winked at him teasingly, “I think I have what you are looking fo...

“Destroy them? Who is ‘them’? Joe opened the details of the quest, blinking in surprise as he read.

Quest: Destroy Them. A team of adventurers have blasted their way into the final layer of this dungeon. They are disregarding the sacred traditions of best dwarven choosing site, and damaging ancient artifacts sto...

Putting this up tonight since I have an early day tomorrow!

“You would. Turn against. Your King?” The mechanical voice of the Dwarven King was slightly stilted, as it came from the actual automaton, and not some kind of recording. It stood and pulled two warhammers off the ground, then started top glow in odd patterns across its armor.

“Oh, sugar snap peas…” Alexis spat, “It’s got enchanted gear.”

“What did you expect from a King tha...

They were standing at the bottom of a huge tube. Looking up, the only thing Joe could think of was the similarity to missile silos. Jess had already searched this for any way in, but going to the top was the only way to progress. Joe looked at the others and nodded, then mentally told the ritual to stop.

End Ritual of Leaden Boots? Caution: this will end the ritual for all [5] of the people it is impacting! Yes / No.

Joe thought ‘yes’, and the ...

“Let’s do a quick inspection before we go.” Joe looked at the others, not able to see anything different. “I was able to make a few anti-personnel rituals, and I figured out a way to get to the bottom of the lake, but I wasn't able to find a way for us to breathe down there.”

“I got that!” Alexis pulled out a vial that seemed to contain a tiny storm. “This is called a Fish-flop Flask. It's a pretty common poison that makes anyone breathing it only...

“I need anything you’ve all been working on that might be helpful in water.” Joe explained to his coven as he shifted the room slightly. He was in the Grand Ritual Hall inspecting rituals for flaws or to help figure out issues that his Coven had been having.

Big_Mo handed over some loose-leaf parchment. “I’ve been working on an interesting concept, but I think that it's at a higher level than I can manage.”

“What… is this?�...

“Joe, is it?” Sam stated affably. “I’ve met so many ‘Joes’ in the last few days that I feel like it is going to get listed as the number one name in Eternium in the next few days!”

“Ah-ha… yeah.” Joe nodded at the group and stiffly turned away. They started walking, but stopped short when Sam called out to them.

“By the way… Joe. I think we might be looking for the same thing, and I’m going to tell you this right n...

The letter was from Boris, and it held the information he had promised Joe weeks ago. Joe ran his eyes over it again as his team walked along, pleased as punch that he had come this direction before; it would help him gain an edge over someone else that had caused trouble for Boris.

Joe, 

It appears that there may be an item that will allow you to specialize your current class into a higher one. It may be a type of book, a stone ta...
