It had been a long year since we’d fought that dragon. I used to think we were invincible. Now I know that’s not true. At least not for all of us. Traci and I have been together now for three years. She has been great during all of this, she was always great at taking […]

My Beloved Dorthea, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for the comfort you provided during my most recent visit home. The tension had grown very thick within the Material Realm Research Project, and I believed a little time away from it would do me some good. I regret to inform you that while

The imps infesting the dwarf’s obsidian tunnel were actually pretty easy to take out. They were essentially bats with tiny humanoid bodies and heads. As far as I could tell, they weren’t sentient, just wild animals. The tunnel itself was well lit with glass tubes affixed to either side. The glass tubes shined with a

It took us a while, but we eventually found an entrance into the Dwarven settlements under the mountains. After we found the trapped door, finding another set of rocks that were a bit off-color from the rest of the mountain was just a matter of finding it. I let Tilly do her thing this time,

We couldn’t speak, as it could alert the beast, but we’d been working together long enough that we didn’t need to. I spotted a great sniping location on a large pipe against the opposite wall. I pointed it

When I ditched my cushy arranged marriage to become an adventurer, I did not picture myself walking through the sewers of Anglachel. For the first time since coming to this world, the formal dinners and diplomatic trips seemed more appealing than what I was doing now. Walking through literal shit will do that to a

Spring Maiden: I apologize for writing to you directly. I have come to feel like I’ve been pushed into a corner and am running out of options. I have written the courts of your superior, the Queen of Summer, and no one there has expressed any urgency concerning my requests. I hope that a reasonable

The fall happened fast. Usually, time kind of slows down when you have a dramatic fall, but when you’re falling in complete darkness, I guess your brain can’t really process what’s happening. As we were falling, I needed to position Tilly on top of me. I knew that my orc frame could handle the fall

Once we explained to Tilly’s grandma that Tilly had found a gwiber and that we needed to take it to a magical creature reserve to keep it safe, she was surprisingly accommodating. “I knew this day would come,” she said. “Grandma, you always talked to me about how I would take over the Cabbage and
