Amidst the Coils of the Ildreth (part V)

Rhothwin ducked behind one of the crude dwellings while an Ildreth guard strode across the spot he had been standing at just moments before. The guard was chewing on a piece of meat of some sort, and that had his full attention. Moments later the short little man disappeared deeper into the village.... Sign in to see full entry.

Amidst the Coils of the Ildreth (part IV)

“Are you ready?” Lorthar asked. Morlith didn’t respond; he simply began to chant. He reached out with his spirit and summoned the ethereal energies to do his bidding. He wove threads of power, conjuring from nothingness, living flame. Not one, but two fire guardians seemed to issue up from the... Sign in to see full entry.

Amidst the Coils of the Ildreth (part III)

“Captain!” Lithana said, leaping to her feet and saluting with her right hand. Elthrin, Drokhan, and the ten other warriors who had been sitting around the campfire followed suit. Lithana and her companions had been in the camp for four days, now, and still the leaders had made no decision on their... Sign in to see full entry.

Amidst the Coils of the Ildreth (part II)

“We cannot attack until daylight,” Lorthar said, wiping a wet, black lock of hair from his brow. It had started raining roughly one hour ago. By this time, the companions were all soaked to the bone. “Why?” Morlith asked. He wanted to rescue Urgana and Aasgar as quickly as possible. It was taking... Sign in to see full entry.

Amidst the Coils of the Ildreth (part I)

Urgana stifled the urge to gag: the animal skin in her mouth had a foul taste and smelled of rot. She was in a crude hut fashioned from the grey limbs of trees vaguely reminiscent of bamboo, tied together in groups, then partially buried in the ground in a vaguely circular shape. An animal skin was... Sign in to see full entry.

The Ilthwayne Forest (part VIII)

Ashin Karr snapped his eyes open. There had only been the faintest disturbance of the wind, but it had been enough to wake him. A moment’s concentration brought his kai, or life force, flowing throughout his body. He sat up cautiously and scanned his surroundings. There was a sound, like breathing,...

The Ilthwayne Forest (part VII)

Morlith stepped back, alarmed. He had never seen such magic. Casting a fire guardian was a complicated effort and the warrior’s sword had dispelled his magic as easily as if one might swat a fly. However, Morlith’s magic had given Rhothwin another chance. The rogue leapt to his feet, grabbed the... Sign in to see full entry.

The Ilthwayne Forest (part VI)

“The Ildreth?” Morlith asked, taking an involuntary step backward. A moment later, he steeled himself for battle and calmly began preparing his spells. “No,” Rhothwin said. “At least, not all of them. It is a solitary individual. Perhaps a scout.” “I am no Ildreth,” a voice said from the darkness.... Sign in to see full entry.

The Ilthwayne Forest (part V)

“They seem to be making great time,” Morlith said. “I would have thought that we would have caught them by now.” He and Rhothwin had been walking for several hours. The trail the wild men had left was indeed easy to follow—even for Morlith. “Our horses are a hindrance in the forest,” Rhothwin... Sign in to see full entry.

The Ilthwayne Forest (part IV)

Urgana reached down and grabbed a handful of twigs that had collected near a divot of upturned earth in close proximity to a tree root as thick around as her bicep. The sticks were only faintly visible in the pale evening light. When she had first stepped under the trees, it was as if she had been... Sign in to see full entry.
