I was in a good mood as I ‘ported with Sleipner into the Baltic Sea, heading for the shore of Sweden. The area I was heading for was known the world over for its inhabitants. The slender beauty and natural magical ability of the Ælven people was a byword, and the supernatural allure of the woods where they’d chosen to found their magical kingdom was acclaimed everywhere. But it was a kingdom, not a Kingdom. With the advent of the Racial Classes, the elves had come swarming out of their homelands and…-

The White Worm was dead, burning with vivic fire at furnace intensity. The meaty, fatty mass of it was boiling and dissolving with the fury of the vivic flames eating at it. They had gone right up it, opening it up, treating the hide of the trapped creature inside the glowing Seal like tofu splitting open on overripe fruit, and then the white one had leapt right into that mass of Taint within, her Sword burning, and began to carve it open from the inside. The one in magenta continued gutting it like a…

“We were fighting over it,” the Cohort admitted, “but we ended up taking My eyes dipped, an eyebrow rose, and they smiled even more widely. “Very fair,” I admitted, as they were borrowing from Daisy all the time regardless. “You’re using the Powered to take the “Yes,” Candance replied in her firm British accent. “And I took Mastersmith-” “so that I could max Weaponsmithing and the other smithing Skills!” Jill Peters added on eagerly, clenching their fist. She was also a very…

Base 4-16 damage for lilitu claws, as deadly as a greatsword. PLUS 11-66, averaging 42 points of damage before any other effects. Sama couldn’t get so high as a base... yet! She had proclaimed that an Amazon Heavy-Gravity Lilitu was totally cheaty, and Briggs had agreed emphatically. It really was a pretty freaking awesome set of physical enhancements as you went to post-Ten, and trying to equal it with Gear was hideously pricey and would take a long time. Briggs had hopes, but it was some time down…

“I do not know. I do know that Evil men do not like being slaves, and that is all they will end up being if they choose the wrong path. Whether they can choose the Right Path is something completely different.” They were already on the path of serving Dark Powers who gave their people horrible afterlives. It really came down to whether they cared enough to doom all their descendants to the same thing. It was REALLY hard for Goblins and Orcs to shake off the influence of their gods once they were born…

“Allow me to tell you a tale.” They rustled but stilled as my oration went on. Yes, I could stomp them flat with just the spoken word, not just song. My Oratory was in the 50+ range, too, just for moments like this. “Long ago, when the world was young, the gods came and gathered at a place, to declare their lands for their peoples. “The great Horned Goblin and His servants stood forth, Him raising His Morningstar, and He swept it over all. He shouted out, ‘Three-fold my people are, and so…

I shook my head as we materialized back in China, and the armored fox-girl in magenta flowed and expanded into nearly eight feet of looming Ancient, while the one in white kinda flowed sideways into the blonde in black leather look for Sama. “You two can be pretty damn funny at times,” I mused aloud, to which the pair of them promptly tunked hands. The crack made me wince. “I’ll have you know I was five-foot-four and totally cute in my last life,” Briggs sniffed. “It’s only godsdamn fair…

The Her triplets had their offices on the lower floors, each of them reigning over a whole floor to control their sections of the family’s business empire. For them to vanish so closely together meant the intruders were definitely inside the building, despite the security forces here being on high alert. With a hum, the power to the building faded abruptly. Escaping through her own private elevator would likewise be rather difficult now. Still, she knew she could not remain here. Unafraid of showing…

The Hu Hsaio were a race of evil spirits whose heritage tied them to the Orient. Moving away from those lands rapidly changed their natures and weakened them, so even if one chose to follow the Chinese, Koreans, Japanese, or other ethnicities of the areas overseas, they would quickly return when they felt their powers waning. They belonged to the Lower orders of the Celestial Bureaucracy, i.e., they were affiliated with the Dead, Damned, and Demons. Still, they were Fey, not demons, although the nature of…

Despite Herself, Her eyes widened in interest. “SPEAK!” She urged me, hurriedly reclaiming Her aloof face. “The Titles: “Would the Wisdom of Winter be interested in a Covenant with the mortals of the Outer World, recognizing Her as the Guardian of the High Ice and the Gatekeeper to Hyperborea?” Air was freezing and shattering around her in excitement at such a statement. “HAVE YOU THE POWER TO PROMISE THIS?” She demanded of me immediately. I closed my eyes for a moment. I opened my…
