What Have You Discovered?

Maruc hoped the the lack of movement from the barn and the Tower was a good sign. He breathed out slowly to release the tension in his muscles…and his head.
Miklos, still concentrating on his spell, awaited the results of the search of the barn. He doubted they would find anything useful like a tunnel, but [...]

A Trap Door

“Hmm… Intriguing, but far from conclusive,” The Elf spoke under her breath, before turning about. “Any luck on your end, Nicholai?”
“Saeth, look at this. A lever hidden in the pony stall. I think we should gather the others and send Skelly home before we do anything though.”
“Now that, among all these things, could prove the [...]

A Hidden Lever

Feldard kept watch on the wolves as they ate the offered meat. He hoped that a full belly would lull the wolves into an early nap but doubted they would be that lucky. So he stood just at the edge of the wood glancing between the wolves and the barn where Saeth and Nicolai had [...]

The Wizard’s Barn

Feldard regarded the humans sceptically but said nothing. He merely stood back with battle axe in hand, letting them take the lead in the ‘all out attack’. If they felt this was the best course of action in dealing with one of their own, perhaps they were correct. In truth, he knew little of human [...]

Preparing for a Punch-Up

“I seriously dislike the idea of splitting us up.” said Miklos, the worry of being exposed creeping into his voice. “I’d much prefer having Feldard close at hand when the fighting starts. My opinion is that we allow Skelly to draw the wolves away. When he and they are at a safe distance we can [...]

Planning and Plotting

Saeth peered through the treeline, her eye seeking the storied wolves. “Only one entrance to the tower? Feldard, isn’t it usual to have more than that?” After a moment’s thought, she added, “You suppose there’s a secret entrance through the barn or the shed? Or at least some sort of evidence that this wizard is [...]

Journey to the Tower

“Feldard my friend.” Maruc said. “You knew not the layout of Caldwell’s Castle before you entered so do not let a little mystery dull your adventurous spirit. I am refreshed and ready to face this wizard. Halav is my guide and He would not have placed us here were we not meant to aid these [...]

Breakfast Planning

Maruc nodded at Feldards assertion echoing Miklos’s call for a swift response. “Then we are agreed?” Maruc paused a second then continued. “Miklos, did Skelly say anything of use?”
“Only that Dentiata keeps livestock.” Miklos replied. “And a rather fine horse. There are two wolves guarding the gate to the tower though. Skelly used meat to [...]

Morning in the Village

The dwarf stifled a yawn as he entered the tavern for a warm morning meal. “Morning,” he mumbled to his companions as he sat down heavily at the table. Last night’s watches had been uneventful, so it seemed there was little left they could do to aid the village other than check out the Tower [...]

Night Watch

Miklos returned to the bar to the delightful news that he was roped into guard duty. But best of all it was starting now. Not that Miklos was at all keen on saving the village in the first place, they still had to get back to Specularum and Caldwell to claim their reward.
Still at least [...]
