Having defeated the abomination, you may find in a far corner of the village: The sparkle in the center appears to have some rabbit fur trapped in it. Stepping through it you find yourself in an underground cavern. Interestingly the book on a table there is titled ‘Jailbreak for Dummies’. Also in the cavern is Yukio, last seen in Holmes’ house? She can hardly be in two places at once, so which is the real Yukio? Yukio the Artisan (greetings) You have come to my aid, thank you! I am forever grateful for freeing me from HOLMES (holmes) He is […]

by EM Malachi Three fires burned in the clearing. Their bright flames held the wraith in place, offering no shadow in which the spirit could escape. Two men in dark robes tended the fires. When a third figured appeared from the woods, they drew their knives. ”We are all lost in the forest.” “May the Guide light a fire to lead us out,” the third Dark Monk replied. “We have begun the rituals. Kindling from the Tree of Strife was enough to light the embers, but the Britannians destroyed too much. We need something more.” “The artisan was able to […]

The Black Market Merchant Initially arriving during the Rising Tides event, this disreputable person is found lurking outside Buccaneer’s Den Bank, he offers to buy maritime cargo for doubloons, and then reclaim the doubloons from you in exchange for his goods. There is a limit to the number of doubloons he will allow you to have in your account. When you reach 300,000 doubloons he insists that you buy from him before he will buy any further cargo from you. His valuing of your cargo is a little eccentric, but he will pay, approximately: Grandmaster cargo 100 – 200 doubloons […]

Something odd was going on in Britannia, people were being reported missing in several towns, no one knew anything. The day following these reports Jaana appeared outside Empath Abbey in Yew. I recognised the name and decided to see if she knew anything. I opened a conversation with her by greeting her by name, “hello Jaana”. “Hello! I’m glad you are here to help investigate the strange disappearances. People whe went into the forests around Britannia are now MISSING. I can ask about those lost from Yew, but if you could travel to MINOC, that would help.” I asked her […]

By EM Malachi 10/19/20 The Black Gate The sky was a swirl of colors, as raw mana poured in from the other worlds in orbit around Sosaria’s sun.

Britannia’s forces were much smaller. The location was discovered at the last minute, and […]

Instead of the lordly garb and golden pendant Batlin usually wore, he was clothed only in a simple woolen robe.  The trapdoor creaked as the cult leader pulled it up by its iron latch. As he started down the stairs, Batlin responded to his follower’s confusion, “One must descend into darkness to rise up stronger.” The sentry pretended to understand. “Yes, Brother Batlin. Nobody will get past me.” The cellar was empty except for an object wrapped in cloth at the center […]

By EM Malachi April 28th 2020 The air was warm, and Shamino’s beloved beckoned him to step onto the balcony. The ranger king looked around the castle chamber, but could not remember how he had gotten there. Though he felt drawn to the light, Shamino turned back to the papers and responsibilities in front of him. Instead of the castle steward, a man in a robe of stars sat across the table. Even with the sunlight shining upon him, the being cast no shadow. The Time Lord smiled. “Shall we discuss what happens now?” “What is this?” “You have a […]
