The Black Opal Eye

Miklos gently leafed through the pages, turning each in turn hoping against hope that some spell or other might be salvageable. Some text at least must have survived the ravages of time and fire else the witches could not have charmed all the other elves into servitude. As the saying goes; “You are as useful [...]

Rummaging Through The Riches

Feldard caught up to the others after a swift knock to the back of head for each of the elfmaids. He whistled as he looked over the treasury. Then his eyes came to that pocket of darkness. He scowled.
The dwarf had caught Marucs’ gesture in regards to Miklos, and was more than a little concerned [...]

Seeking The Opal

With frustrated clawing Maruc freed himself from the decaying spell and leapted across to Nicolai. His heart sank arterial blood. The boy didn’t stand a chance. His pale lightless face caught in mid plead. He closed the dead eyes. “Halav Incarnate upon your carven throne.” He prayed solemly. “Receive your son Nicolai. Blessed was he [...]

Nicolai’s Final Breath

Feldard nodded solemnly at the rogue’s request. “On my honor, she will know your good deeds, my friend. What is her name?”
“Her name…is Marta,” said Nicolai with his final breath.
Miklos, still motionless, gripped within the witch’s spell stared as the dwarf crouched over Nicolai. He caught none of what words passed between them but as [...]

Nicolai’s Last Wish

With Saeth pinned and struggling beneath his armoured weight, the dwarf made efforts to gag and bind her with whatever was at hand—his oiled rag for wiping down his axe, a torn scrap of tunic—anything to keep her from casting yet more magic.
She twisted and turned, causing the dwarf to grimace in pain. She scratched [...]

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Feldard watched the witch-elf warily in return as he stood once more. Unsurprisingly, he was relieved that she was pulling Saeth’s sword rather than trying for another spell, even if he was at the disadvantage. He was acutely aware he had no weapon. His crossbow had been left behind when he rolled and his axe [...]

Feldard vs. Trilena

‘Heh, not such a good a defense as he had hoped,” thought Miklos, his body frozen by Trilena’s spell.
Still he quite admired the turn of casting speed and the subtle movements. “At least my dieing moments will be educational.”
His shot too slow, and the witch’s recovery too swift, Feldard didn’t have the time [...]

The Last Sister

Hasan agonized. Frozen in place, but with his mind free, he tried to compose himself. Just shy of his goal, a beam beam of what he could only assume to be magic had locked himself and the two witches he still saw before him into their places. He tried to imagine their melee forever encapsulated [...]

The Final Confrontation

The dwarf not as accustomed to magical travel, was still feeling the ill after effects, but the sight of the two possessed maidens was like a like a douse of cold water. Saeth was being dealt with. The mage would need a distraction no doubt. So with a dwarven bellow, Feldard launched himself towards the [...]
