Christmas Holiday Schedule

Hey everyone! Hope you are having a wonderful Christmas this year!

I've been pretty busy with family stuff, so I'm afraid there is going to be a delay on the chapters this week. 

However, I don't plan to shortchange you all, and next Monday there will be (3!) chapters released at once! So there is that to look forward to!

There is also a little project I have had an artist friend working on as a proof of concept that I wanted to share with you all.

I made them rea...

Chapter 38

The doorframe trolley cart looked a bit ridiculous, but the guard rolled it right up to the barrier.

“Listen girl, I’ll only explain this once. Once the hole’s in place, you go on through and don’t dawdle. Protocol says more than thirty seco...

Marcus, Taniel, and Tanyan hadn’t bothered to look in her direction, but that quickly changed when she slid onto a seat beside Tanyan. They were staring at her as if she had grown a second head; the two monks even had their mouths hanging open!

Elania’s head was pounding as she slowly woke up. She dimly remembered closing and locking her door before falling into the decidedly plush bed. She had not figured out how to dim the bright white crystal that was now glaring down on her face much to her dismay. It did confirm that s...

Their baskets of Moss were taken and set aside under the eye of another guard while their escort led them through one of the smaller doors. There was another entryway they had to pass through and then a short but maze-like path through the stone walls. The shiny metal exterior had led ...

Chapter 32

Marcus led them down a large street that left the central area of the waystation. It seemed to be one of the main drags for the inhabitants and there was a bit of foot traffic. Elania realized that it might be ‘nighttime’ as there were some large crystals hanging f...

Chapter 36

Burning excess Power while holding onto hostages and keeping track of Marcus and Taniel while her arm was rebuilding itself and her insides were melting was a trial of endurance. Elania let off several blasts of energy into a far-off wall, which caused the others to st...

Elania bit her lip and stared at the shadowed interior of the gatehouse. Tanyan and her had both seen something move inside, although it had only been for a brief second. Despite [Darkvision] letting her see in the dark confines of the caverns, she still had trouble w...

"Wait."

Tanyan held up a hand, and the party came to a standstill. Taniel looked back at them with a frown.

"What?"

"There's a group ahead in the next cavern, non-human. Maybe ten or twenty. Small, can't really tell other than that. A little too small to b...

Marcus led them down a large street that left the central area of the waystation. It seemed to be one of the main drags for the inhabitants and there was a bit of foot traffic. Elania realized that it might be ‘nighttime’ as there were some large crystals hanging from the ceiling of the cavern but only one in five were lit up.

‘That makes sense if they do what I think they do. Who needs electric lights when you can have magic crystals you can turn off and on?’

Chapter 31 - Final Push - Lesser Demon Access

Elania bit her lip and stared at the shadowed interior of the gatehouse. Tanyan and her had both seen something move inside, although it had only been for a brief second. Despite [Darkvision] letting her see in the dark confines of the caverns, she still had trouble when there were large differences in light levels. The wall and most of the cavern were bathed in the bio-luminescent light from the ceiling, while the gatehouse interior was not.

She’d be able to see once inside just fine...

Tanyan held up a hand, and the party came to a standstill. Taniel looked back at them with a frown.

"What?"

"There's a group ahead in the next cavern, non-human. Maybe ten or twenty. Small, can't really tell other than that. A little too small to be Ralfots, but maybe Elnats."

Elania wanted to know exactly what type of skill or magic the monk was using to see ahead. If he was able to know what was around them, why hadn't he spotted the Manzitore or the Razorsca...

Chapter 28 - Razorscale - Cultist Access

Elania turned and shoved Tanyan as hard as she could manage in the few seconds she had to react. Time seemed to slow down for her, and she could see the shock on his face turn to understanding as he rotated through the air. She worried that she had pushed him too hard, but she didn't have time to watch to see if he recovered.

She pushed off the ground and dodged backward an instant later. It was barely in time as the [Razorscale] slammed into the spot they had just been occupying with a...

Chapter 27 - Gathering - Cultist Access

Prepare for some extra chapters! The google document version will be posted at the end since it doesn't make sense to make a whole bunch of those for all of these!

Chapter 27

Elania sat on a boulder just outside the Waystation entrance, humming her best rendition of Misty Mountains Cold. One of the novices had been in-and-out a few times to fetch water and had looked at her with a funny expression. Well, not everyone had her taste in music, or maybe he didn’t appreciate...
