Grizkh was absent-minded and I knew better to entertain him. We strolled through the forest outside Sandport on a beautiful spring day. I succumbed to green tree capes and early yarrow flowers sprouting from the ground everywhere. Sandport's nickname in the early spring is well deserved – Desert Yarrow.
I always rely on Grizkh's trekking ability – the Orc side of his being never loses its way. But his human side is what made him my f...

<... 2020-11-18 21:39:48 +0000 UTC View PostSun pierced through the old patched drapes. It overcame all the obstacles – clouds, birds, trees and buildings to and hit my eyelid with surgical precision. I bear thin faith in coincidence so I got up. My eyes met with the unkempt stranger in the mirror – my hair was a bouquet of messy grey-black finger-thick and arm-long noodles while my beard was probably shier than I am. Few wild hairs piercing through my skin were as weak as my will to shave it.
Folk say shivers vanish after your body gets accustomed to it, but I have never been nor will I ever be comfortable around the Tower. I have always considered my essence to be a blessing, but around this wretched building I see myself as cursed. My eye caught Grizkh.
"No!" I said as I grabbed his wrist. "Don't smell nor pick flowers here."
He gave me a puzzled look of a puppy. Mine was stern.<...

The only thing folk of Torncastle had left is watching someone else die in pain. Once a glorious and mighty city that stood alone against the Warlords, nowadays provides a cheap sanctuary to cutthroats, thieves and murderers.
Knowing that Grizkh was here before was somewhat comforting. He knew the bowels of the old town better than I knew the back of my hand: he knew who to intimidate and to whom to bow. He was the brain here, his street wisdom leading us throug...

In the times before my unlikely and pleasant friendship with Grizkh, I roamed the land armed only with my wit and few concoctions. I could hide as the next scrawny wizard, and I did it well.
Ruins of Oldport became my obsession. Endless tunnels under the rock and sand and dried-out river. Pillars everywhere, statues of long forgotten heroes turning to dust. Royal palace is still standing tall, housing only danger and luring me into its b...

Dear all,
What do you need the most when you craft your session? We know that you tailor every tiny bit to perfection, but there is always that bard/sorcerer misfit who strays the party from the path intended!
In that case - you're welcome! :D We have made 9 unique and wonderfully generic encounter maps to accompany any campaign. Whether they're lost in the desert ruins, fighting the celestial battle in the high skies or simply cam...

Letter was scarce and with little to no information but beautifully written. She curved the letters as only she knew – her words were dancing in mesmerizing rhythm before my eyes. Small parchment was wet and ink was spilling in its cracks, but without the chance to diminish the elegance of its content.
However, the words were as sharp and uncompromising as her character. Féana was already in my debt, yet she was in trouble. Again. The...

Dear patrons, followers and wanderers,
Every time you reward your players a little breathing time in your campaign, you know where they'll go. Throats are dry and equipment is broken/missing/stolen. Rations need to be replenished, items need to be sold, potions need to be bought and curses need to be lifted!
We have made a Tavern a long time ago, now we're happy to bring you 10 Shops &a...

I never had love for hill druids, especially ones with no contact with civilized folk. Their language was fast and chaotic, their words were snarling and growling even in their human form. They ran through the forests of Baul, naked and wild.
My old friend Olar promised me to meet him two years ago. Since their understanding of time is slightly different than ours, I decided to find him. They don't experience time whilst in animal form, ...

"Are we there yet?"
He sounded like a broken music box, childishly repeating the same question over and over again, loudly and reluctantly dragging his boots through the snow.
"I'm sure it's around this cliff, Grizkh."
"You said that last four cliffs, Aaron. Stop treating me like a child."
He was, indeed, a child. Giant...

"Aaron, tell me the monk story again!"
For some reason, Grizkh loved the story of Bonk the Monk and his training routine. Being bulky and not-so-athletic, my half-orc friend enjoyed listening about agile creatures, especially if they're of his race.
"Again?" I smirked as I covered my face in a scarf and loomed over the fireplace, in narrator's manner. Grizkh sat on the dusty dungeon floor. We will ...

All map variations:Three weeks of seemingly endless journey ended at the gate of Torncastle. Once a mighty stronghold, cultural and trade capital of the South-West, now a rogue town of ghosts, cutthroats and criminals. Grizkh was joyfully feeding pigeons and birds seemed to love him.
I shrouded my face in a shawl I found in one of the dungeons and tried to lead the way – I was never in Torncastle. Grizkh followed me, but after a while, he instinctivel...

I need to stop asking favors. Lesson that repeatedly bounces off my stubborn skull. Today, I have a favor to return.
Ryanna, sorceress with whom I longed to share a bed, was not one of the patient people. And we were already late. Three days North of Sandport, she said, your arcana will guide you. I was born sceptic, but this reassured me. I was sure my mare didn't feel my weight at all, but Grizkh's war horse looked like an old mule aft...

Stype nodded slowly and handed me an envelope. Old half-elf was visibly disgusted by it and never bothered to hide it. As soon as I received it, I was aware of the "problem". It was heavily scented, ornate with battle scenes from the Drought War and asymmetrically shaped. It was an invitation.
I broke the seal and another few thousand layers of flowery scent reeked from inside of it. Some peacock must've sent it and I wondered exactly why I, tired and ill-manner...

Small lifeboat was crumbling under our weight, or, to be honest – under Grizkh's. Resilience in that creature was admirable and shocking. He was rowing for hours, days armed with an old row and repetitive litany. I have not spoken to him, as he was speaking with the Sea Goddess. Half-orc never struck me as a religious character, yet alone as the follower of the strange and ancient Mother of the Sea.
Perpetual litany, splashes of sea wa...

"Did you find what you were looking for, my friend?"
Harsh and sturdy voice of my half-orc companion was gone. His mouth was moving, saying the words, but the silky perfection of celestial multicord melody was twirling around my mind. He was floating half-foot mid-air, a withered gauntlet swallowed his right hand and his eyes burning white. The entity that spoke through him was somehow merciful to us, perhaps after it satiated its hunger...

I have never seen Grizkh so excited. He stopped examining tracks and paced through the fine sand of Aegis Desert. He wanted to repay me for kindness I've shown him, not realizing that I needed him more than the other way around. He was proud of being raised by monks in the desert temple – feeling more significant than he thought of himself. Eastern sun blinded us when as we approached tall temple walls. My eyes adjusted as I allowed myself to perceive – this was no monk te...

"Aaron, I don't like this place."
The human side of my half-orc companion shakily spoke as we dove deeper into the frozen depths of damned Steel Mountains. The bulky barbarian somehow looked smaller and his yellow eyes childishly sought mine; I have never seen Grizkh afraid. I was, however, serene as we climbed up the small rocky plateau. Enormous, carefully carved face stoically watched us, with darkness of its mouth inviting us in. Not...
