  • Adventures in Friendship and Lightning, Part 20

    Fighting is unexpected. Warriors are born in instants, and die the same way. Hilt showed two of the Archiwrecks just that. She was upon them in instants. In two strokes, their throats were slit. That was all she could get before the remaining sorcerers threw her back with their magic. Book entered the fray then. Three more Archiwrecks fell, disintegrated to nothingness. The Master did not like death to be sloppy. Like his books, his […]

    Goldmight spread his arms wide. “Masters…” Book laid a paw down on the ground. “Goldmight. I should have known this was all your doing.

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.
