[X] Sacrifice Inaan… Only Not Really. If Rena is willing to accept his deal and swear alliance, he'll let down his guard and bare his throat to you. He's fae. They can't break their word. You're human. You can, even if it means paying a price that'll hurt badly. Aleph has some interesting...

That sort of concern is why I hadn't wanted to play along initially with the foxes on arriving, and again voted to not do so (admittedly 50% was desire to Rip and Tear) for how we end our stay here. Sadly Rena specializes in playing chicken with brain-eating fire. But we're in a bit deep for...

Don't think the poor readers missed the pairing of orange and blue in our Bridge-Defending-Protagonists outfit. At least it was just an armband for the poor girl, not a full jumpsuit... Interesting to go back and look at some Jema comments, after the end 'reveal' of it being Rena. That line...

[X] Someone is building a bridge across a river and they want the Lucky Horse to fight off monsters that might try to attack it. Guarding a bridge is too much of a classic for true destined heroes to pass up on as their first real adventure-mission. Basement-rats and wolf-hides are training...

I see this was a bad time to be lazy about catching up on new posts... that cliffhanger with Rena really plays into my fears on "why you don't play along with fey glamour, even for a moment". At least poor Inaan is getting the heroic quest she deserves! :V The sort of dream you almost feel bad...

[X] Coiling Viper, Peacock's Blade: Reject the invitation. Stab the emissary to death. Derail their story into a story of revenge. [Nerve-Crippling Strike][Fleeting Breeze Style] I know that Thorns of the Rose is probably more in theme for us. But this does play along nicely with the setup...

[X] Redtail Dae Omicron and Aleph both seem to have good points, but I'm leaning this one because Rena seems more built for one-on-one conflict over playing a whole messy crowd at once, and honestly I hate illusionists and general "will save or lose" fights too much to want to read about it :V...

[X] The Ghost-Thin Swordsmaiden, a sworn cataphract, whose life is laden in weeping tragedy and thorn-stabbed hearts. She seeks a new master, or at least a dramatic tale of the downfall of her former master. You can't exactly be a sorceress-queen with only one questionably loyal bodyguard...

[X] Call Up Your Smoke Servants: This place is well-lit by fires, and ruled by chaos. It will be a wonderful place to try your new talent for making those almost-hob smoke servants to spy on this place and find out what happens here so that you can… (Cinders-and-Smoke Homunculus) (Wyldwoods...

Mighty Sorceress making bad decisions from a place of pride and spite (how would Inaan feel realizing she'd been bamboozled and Rena had to break her out of it, after that argument about the bordermarch?) inclines me to vote for seeing the manager.... But the tails. The taaiiils are fluffy and...

Honestly this? I know Rena's committed deeply to being a Wyld Sorceress over other types but it really does seem to bring her just the sort of tiresome demands and distractions she dislikes :V Blue's demands are a nuisance on top of Amigere's demands, and its hard to judge whether experienced...

[X] His Purpose in the Armies of Hell - The hierarchy of the demon city named Malfeas are convoluted, but you have heard each one serves a purpose in the quest of the demon kings to cast down all that is righteous. If you know his purpose, you will know what he can do and something of what his...

[X] Teach This Little Idiot. She's a touchy teenage girl and sort of annoying, but her brother is attractive - and maybe it's something to do during the hotter hours of the day. Maybe she'll be less of a pain in your ass if you give her a few pointers and show her why she should respect you...

The whole "Trace on your wand" thing has always seemed like an exceptionally bizarre concept shoe-horned into book 7 to provide for a momentary scene of danger and not entirely fitting with prior books. It doesn't really match the impression of "being able to detect muggleborns, accidental...

[X] Missy creates her Familiar this week. [X] Male [X] Friendly and laid-back mid-teen [X] Bolt Blade - Mana blade projection in form of a lightning bolt. Can be thrown for a limited ranged attack. Would this be more "Volt Tackle" or "Iron Tail" ? 🤔 And is "Circus" a valid pick for...
