The Hall of Stone (part II)

As the others spread out into the room, Morlith walked to the nearest sarcophagus; according to the plaque, it was the resting place of the famous Galrin Earthward, a powerful earth wizard who had lived roughly seven hundred years ago. Morlith scratched his chin thoughtfully. Even if Ardivan was not... Sign in to see full entry.

Ooops! Error alert!

********************************************************************* It appears, dear readers, that I've made a mistake. The dragonslayer's name is Lorthar. I've been spelling it as Lorthan for several entries now. Don't know when I started doing that, but I noticed the error tonight as I... Sign in to see full entry.

The Hall of Stone (part I)

After careful examination and much fiddling, Rhothwin was able to find a pressure point on the wall that, when depressed, opened the door. “If there is anything of value,” Morlith said as the rogue stepped into the hallway beyond, “You can take it… but if the Wizards of Rea find out, you are on your...

Wizard's Snare (part IX)

“Spell-casters, Lady Korin to the rear,” Morlith said. “Warriors up front.” The minotaur took a ponderous step forward, raising its axe, while the stone wall slid closed behind it. Lorthan drew his long sword and circled to the left. Aasgar moved in from the right. And Rhothwin stepped forward to... Sign in to see full entry.

Wizard's Snare (part VIII)

“What’s the point?” Lorthan said. “We’ll have to fight him sooner or later.” “Would you rather fight ‘im in here, in the middle of a deadly labyrinth?” Aasgar asked. “Or in the hallway beyond, where we might have solid ground to stand upon?” “All right,” Morlith said. “Urgana, send in the troll.”...

Wizard's Snare (part VII)

“Yes,” Morlith said, “A very cleverly designed invisible maze.” “I don’t understand,” Lorthan said. “Nor I,” Rhothwin echoed. “And I’m usually pretty good at this sort of thing. Please explain, Morlith.” “Certainly,” Morlith said. “Imagine that we are surrounded by a maze of invisible walls. There... Sign in to see full entry.

Wizard's Snare (part VI)

Morlith turned back to face the dwarf. Behind him, Rhothwin also stopped moving. “Well?” Morlith asked. “What is your idea? What should we do?” “Wait,” Aasgar said, moving to the foremost corner of the square he was in, the one closest to the minotaur. “You wish to engage the thing?” Lorthan said,...

Wizard's Snare (part V)

The minotaur moved forward one more square so that it was a third of the way across the room. “We better do somethin’,” Aasgar said. “The beastie is almost ‘pon us.” “Keep moving to the right,” Morlith said, “There’s got to be a way through. And stay together.” While Aasgar turned and tapped the... Sign in to see full entry.

Wizard's Snare (part IV)

Adrinilax ignored the rising screams of the king behind him and slithered into the castle courtyard. He was deeply troubled. He had not told old Orodrin everything. His vision last night had not depicted the mercenaries as simply a threat to be overcome; it had shown his death. He had seen the... Sign in to see full entry.

Wizard's Snare (part III)

“You look troubled, dragon?” King Orodrin said. “Bad news?” Weary beyond comprehension, King Orodrin could no longer smell the feast meant to torture him. He was still incredibly hungry, still affixed to the throne, but he found that when he looked away from the table or closed his eyes it was as if... Sign in to see full entry.
