"So, this Mountain blighter, you did him in right?" "Indeed! He towered over mineself and Princess Elia, yet I stood fast against his might. His roars were mighty, his footsteps caused the very ground to shake, yet… m-my lance found its mark!" "Huh… good show then. Good show." "... is aught...

Had a big rant written up earlier after reading through the discussion, but after thinking on it more I'm just going to condense some of my thoughts before I sleep. I don't think Attrition is necessarily the "safe" or easy plan. It reads to me as a methodical poke and bait comp meant to ambush...

Read it through and took a nap, ready to think on the update now. [X] Attrition. Slow, measured. Inflict the greatest material damage for fewest lives lost. Use your Night Witches sparingly, leveraging your immunity to illusion, target ammunition dumps, ballista batteries - tighten a vice...

Deirdre groaned as she opened her eyes. What in Orbis did she do last night? She remembered getting horribly drunk, stepping out onto the street and then… reacting too late to a vehicle speeding towards her. Looking down at her body showed no wounds, yet she distinctly remembered a strange...

Vote tally is kind of screwing up, but I've decided to leave the vote up for a week. It's a little long admittedly, but I think I want the time to plan out the last arc of the Yashima volume as well as something else. I've been wanting to start up a second quest for months now, but could never...

I've been making progress on starting up my second quest, but its been difficult really making the push to finish it up. Have some doubts whether I can manage two quests or if people will like it all that much. Thinking of posting what I have so far on the quest ideas thread or something to see...

"And then I scattered those cowardly fiends who most assuredly had nefarious intentions in store for the young princess!" "Huh, that's a lotta detail. I actually believe this one guys." "Dost thou believe I spin falsehoods!?" "N-no, chiquita, haha. I just… get so amazed by your stories, I can...

Just in case, if by her people you mean the elves, then let me say that isn't what's happening here. Deirdre meant investigating whether anything remains of her past adventuring companions that were Yashiman are lying around. She has a vague idea of where some of them settled down/had said they...

I've seen some people say they didn't like Ishmael sparing Ahab and then use the Hermann ending as one of their justifications, which confuses me since this is one of the few scenes of "I shall not kill you because of X Y Z" in fiction that I think makes perfect sense. One reason why those...

Nope, you can bring the whole gang if you want to. Or if you want to cosplay a certain someone, we can have a "Deirdre Alone" arc (not that she would actually be alone, but still). There's importance on the utility/mechanics of it all, but I'm basically giving the voters the choice of what they...

Mmmm, I'm a little unsure in how much I should give away here. I can roughly say that they're all pretty powerful in their own right, and Deirdre has heard some things. She knows more specifics about La Encantada and the Paragon of course, and was around the Gūji long enough to know she exudes a...

If it helps your decision-making: The Administrator is going to at bare minimum send some armed security to defend the supplies/transportation of everything. Some of the mercenaries you recruited earlier might get in on that actually. There will be some other named(so they're definitely...

"I… know of one who may be of more assistance in this matter," you say. Your connection with Ophelia in Yashima was something you've put aside when you arrived, but now seems like an opportune time to test it. The risk should be minimal, you believe. There are always dangerous beings lurking in...

Just started my second story thread. It might mess with my writing scheduling later, but it feels nice to have more than one thing to write about.
