“Pitiful, absolutely disgraceful.” Hilt squatted over Zibnizik. She looked at her blade, poised over his throat, and tutted. “Zibnizik, if I were in a grading mood, I would fail you on the spot. No perimeter guard, no wards to speak of, and not even someone keeping watch. That is a failing grade.” “Lady Hilt,” the gnome said, not taking his eyes off the weapon. “Pardon my rudeness, but I’m not in classes with you.” She […]

Bin stepped forward, readying his stance. He winked at the Archiwrecks. “Let’s go then,” He said. “Mage battle, twenty-to-one.” “Seven,” Kleb corrected. “Right. You guys get some too.” The Archiwrecks looked at each other. They hefted pickaxes, swords, even a few wands. But they did so cautiously.

“How did you forget the tent?” “I thought you were bringing the tent?” “Why would I be bringing the tent? Did you at least remember sleeping bags?” “I thought we had a spell for that.” “We do?” “I think so?” This had gone on for two hours. Zibnizik wasn’t sure if he was still enraptured with Yuva, though he did know he wanted to scream. They currently were huddled underneath a piece of conjured tent. […]

Goldmight floated apart from the group. He smiled,and put his hands out to the fire. He basked in the warmth for a time. “You’re a lot like us, Bin.” Goldmight said. “The Leaves aren’t the best, or the most popular.
