Difference: minimal
Last chapter has been an intermission, if you had missed it you can find it here.
Last one. Interested in everyone's thoughts. I don't want to overdo it with the POV changes but it is a tool I don't want to underutilize them either.

Difference: Noticeable?
AN: Short and probably weird. Give me your thoughts. If you have missed the previous post from just a few minutes ago, read it first here. The last chapter coming in a bit. I am taking a break before I edit it.

AN: I might have overdone it with Path of exile. I also ended up writing another interlude that I couldn't upload before this chapter. I can, however, upload it after it. So I will. I have a shorter interlude already edited and ready to upload and still have to finish edit on the longer one though together with this chapter it is looking somewhere north of 8k words put together. Consider that an apology for the extended break.

AN: PoE league starts in less than 2 hours so I am incredibly hyped. 3269 in the queue. Just a reminder, I will be blasting hard over the weekend so no new chapters until probably Tuesday. Also, I ended up writing a shorter interlude chapter yesterday, though it's not time for it yet. However, at some point this month there will probably be a double upload. Anyway, enjoy.
Irwyn was left staring, unsure what to do. Behind the corner he was not in i...

An: So, I spent about 2 hours and a lot of energy today making a full table for how my damn Law of Finity interacts with duration. At least I can now write it consistently I suppose. Of course, I will mention them in the story when they are actually relevant, however, if someone is interested in the full table I have posted in the Patreon channel on my discord and am down to talk about it if anyone is want to hear more.
One or two more chapter before the new ...

AN: Well, I have just gone through a nasty migraine season; hopefully that's over now. I also was not sure at first where I want to go with the last part of this chapter, which did not help. On a more positive note though, I think I can now see a clear line towards all the things I want to get done before volume 2 finishes which should make writing it out much easier for me. Frankly, my biggest issue is often seamlessly connecting parts I am certain I want to do...
Difference: Small
AN: Tired.
Even the following day, Elizabeth was still agitated, despite her expression not necessarily showing it. Irwyn could tell from how she fought in their daily spar. It was unlike her usual calculated and composed assault where she would slowly entrap him one spell at a time. Instead, she opted to try and overwhelm Irwyn through sheer force, slinging one projectile after another into his defenses.
And it was clearly not going to work. ...

AN: Well, it took longer than I would have expected but the plot of arc 2 truly thickens now. I wonder, do you see the guns?
“I am heading there,” Elizabeth stated, staring at the location while almost shivering with fury. It was a far stronger reaction than Irwyn would have expected but a single look told him there would be no stopping her.
“All right, I will follow if you want me to,” he nodded. “But you will need to calm down al...

AN: I have had a bit of a creative drought over the weekend followed by a pretty bad headache yesterday. At least I am feeling much better now and hopefully full of writing zest.
The walk from Old Ibis’ office had been silent and relatively awkward. Desir wore a slight frown as he led Irwyn out of the labyrinthine safehouse without speaking any words at all. Even at the entrance gate, the very same guards Desir had chatted with lightly when ente...

Irwyn was frankly not sure what to think. As far as he could remember he could always control any even remotely magical Flame. Even with mundane fire, all it took was for him to inject a bit of his magic and he could grasp them as easily as breathing.
This shocked him. Because the Flame had to be magical yet it rejected even the slightest hint of cont...

“I assure you, I am quite qualified,” Irwyn said confidently, holding the token in the palm of his hand. But not revealing it, not quite yet. Instead, he surrounded it in Flames in two layers. Inside, right around the three silver talons, he made a layer as cold as it would go, isolating, so that the silver would absolutely not even begin to melt. Meanwhile, he made the outer layer hot while also making both subtle. He ...

AN: I did not quite make it yesterday. I don't want to push too hard since it tends to hurt the quality and greatly increases burnout hazard. Anyway, here is the chapter
Elizabeth stared at Irwyn’s back as he left the room, trying hard to maintain her strained smile. She was glad he had been so distracted by the blatant ongoing epiphany that he most likely did not notice.
She looked down at the rest of her unfinished meal. It tastes so
Difference: Minimal
AN: Mostly finished the chapter yesterday but was too tired to do a decent edit. Plan is still next chapter on Friday.
“Ready, steady, start,” Dervish spoke again, however, it was not him Irwyn would be facing this time around. Across from him, almost on the other end of the hall, Elizabeth stood, already murmuring under her breath so that Irwyn could not guess what she was actually attempting to cast.
Another day and a half of Dervish...

AN: Busy and not very productive weekend. However, I want to do a Patreon chapter every 2 days this week if I can swing it. So Wednesday, Friday, Sunday if I can manage it while I am relatively free.
“The whole facility is the Dredge,” Elizabeth explained as she pointed. “Though the name is obviously inspired by the ‘Ezorox’s chamber’ as the correct term would be. It, put simply, redirects any ‘exits’ from the Void in the city and ...

AN: I am incredibly tired, I hope that does not mean too many typos. I will be busy all day Friday and much of Saturday but I will try to see if I can get another Patreon chapter out at Sunday.
Irwyn took a deep breath as he felt the mage disappear again. He was pretty sure he had successfully intimidated the man at least. What he was not completely sure about was what they had actually been looking for.
In the moment he had made the decisio...

AN: Since I am starting with Patreon and PDF uploads, any opinions or ideas left in the comments are particularly likely to improve future experience since I am frankly mostly winging this.
Although it was certainly an opportunity, Irwyn would be careful. He was not so desperate for information as to risk his life. No, he would try to figure out what the group was doing, who they seemed to be working for and maybe see if he could fo...
2023-02-28 20:26:57 +0000 UTC View PostSo, this is non-Hope bonus content.
It is 2 short stories I have written for a DND campaign I ran for some of my friends, chronologically sometime around the early chapters of Hope.
Fortress is meant to be read first as the stories take place in the same setting.
You may notice some reusing of names and ideas. Some names downright yoinked from other stories I read since none of my friends actually read much, if at all. Maybe some of you can maybe glance at certain similariti...
