In fact, it seems they did that whenever they were struck. The double took another shot at me as I stood on the wall and did less damage than he did before. I smiled as I leapt off the wall and landed in front of him striking him with my rapier. Unfortunately, it looks like both our attacks are equally effective against the other so this might be a ( Read more... )

While Bella blasted what was left of the dragon and Kiris and I began work on the wall, Victor and Raven were left alone with the double of the monk. Raven had been having a rather interesting battle. At first he figured he’d be all right, after all he was invisible, but just as he was putting poison on his arrow, the monk turned to him and said, “ ( Read more... )

If the two whom we killed were part of the original Company of Seven, along with the body on the floor, then that meant there were only four more left. Shendra said they had the remaining key fragments and since there were none in the room, it meant that three of the doubles, Murlynd, Keoghtom, Nolzur, or Zagig, must have the other three fragments ( Read more... )

That was when we all had a moment of panic. It was like Whitehearth all over again. I pulled out the sending circle and shouted into it waiting for a response. Cast reasoned that if he did what Victor was doing a moment before he vanished, he could get to him. That didn’t solve the problem of getting them both back, but when Cast makes up his mind ( Read more... )

Cast was giddy at this point, what could possibly happen next. I also think he wanted to figure out how to get one of those spells into an infusion, so we hastily heading through the next barrier. This time we are leading the refugees and Slerotin through caves packed with monsters. He tells us that we must keep the people safe and defend them from ( Read more... )

There is one advantage of being in Zagyg’s tower: there is no way of telling what time of day it is. In this way I can trick myself into thinking that in some way I got a little more sleep than I probably did. Shendra and her adorable pixie friend took leave of us before we rested for the night, leaving us with only their ominous warnings of ( Read more... )

  Okay here's how this will work. I'm almost done with Journal 5, and 4 is halfway finished. Though we did so many awesome things in 4, I just couldn't get motivated to write it. 5 is long. I mean really really long and will go up in parts. If you all ever think I focus too much on one aspect and not another, or that it's too long, or any other ( Read more... )

As the four of us stood there laughing at each other and arguing about whether there was or was not indeed a shelf in the room and, if there wasn’t, what exactly had Bella tied that rope to, I heard something that stopped my breath. Cast was screaming. Victor looked at me and asked “What on Eberon could Cast be screaming about?” I stared at him, ( Read more... )

Most mornings bring with them either sense of renewal and sense of impending dread, depending on what has transpired the night before or if you are unlucky enough to share a room with Cast. This morning, however, brought nothing, as if there was an air of indifference around our humble abode. I thought I’d at least be excited to shop a ( Read more... )

As I sit here under the cold and roaring waterfall trying to scrub the slime of the giant purple worm off my hair and what’s left of my shirt, I can’t help but think of two things. First, I think I might actually sit in the first hot bath I get for 2 or more days, and second, that I might need to pack more than one shirt from now on. ( Read more... )
