Next Chapter   “Welcome to Grumbsy,” An orc greeted me as I stepped off of my voyage.    “Welcome to my story,” I replied, hopping onto the dock, examining the young town on the west coast of the untamed continent called Kayos.   “I don’t know what that means,” The large dock attendant replied as he turned to the person behind me. “Welcome to Grumbsy. Enjoy your stay.” I was going to ask him where one could find

Previous Chapter : Next Chapter     I rose to my feet without even putting the warm meal in my belly. “You’ve come to the right place.” My announcement shook the heart of every patron of The Titan’s Trap. Even if it didn’t I’m telling the story so that’s what happened.   “My name is Elrin Daun of…”   “Trant! Where is Vergusson?” The gorgeous elven woman shouted walking right past me, parking herself at the bar. “I

Previous Chapter : Next Chapter   Booty Booty Booty Booty Rockin Everywhere Booty Booty Booty Booty Rockin Everywhere Rocking Everywhere Rocking Everywhere I found you Miss New Booty   The dance floor produced movements unlike any they’d seen from themselves. Their booties undoubtedly were rocking everywhere from the very beginning to the climatic end of my performance. None had heard this type of music before. But that often time produces the best of parties.   Roan was in

Previous Chapter : Next Chapter   “Hey there sword fighter,” The familiar voice greeted me from behind.   I was surprised how fast I turned around to see her. “Syrielle!” It’d been nearly a week since we’d saved the children from the dark sorcerer and his servants. “How was your stay on the farm?” I asked as we ended our embrace to sit on the stools at the bar.   “Restful,” She nodded and waved to Trant who

Previous Chapter : Next Chapter   “You keep your left elbow low,” Sryielle criticized. “And I keep telling you to stop crossing your feet. This isn’t dancing. It’s killing. You can’t afford to trip yourself in a fight.”   “I never trip when I’m dancing though,” I told her.   The sword master giggled. “Well, he’s up 2-0 on you.”   Henry Gor, a guard from a nearby gold mine, waved his dull sword around. Three of his

Previous Chapter : Next Chapter   Since you been gone I can breathe for the first time I’m so moving on Yeah yeah   My music radiated through the Titan’s Trap. Nearly everyone in the establishment had their eyes on me, and the crowd was the largest I’d ever seen in Grumbsy. Several boats had just arrived today to drop off more folk ready to leave the West behind them.   Not to mention some of the local

Previous Chapter : Next Chapter   “I would’ve kicked his ass no problem,” Glish mocked as he jabbed the air a few times before uppercutting nothing. “Wouldn’t have needed some stupid line about ‘writing a butt kicking’ or whatever.”   “Scribe an ass whooping,” I drunkenly snapped. “I literally just said it.”   “And I wouldn’t have needed it,” The Hafflin reiterated, continuing to box the shadows. “I’d have hopped right up there and just knocked the crap

Previous Chapter : Next Chapter   Myself and the boys had quite a lot to drink. As we often did. First it was me, my buddy Barney, this dude Todd, and some other weird guy I didn’t know. Barney arrived in town shortly after my journey to Mount LibGlob. Todd on the other hand, was a traveling merchant and business hadn’t been going too well for him so he picked up a job as a farm hand near

Previous Chapter : Next Chapter   The apple didn’t stand a chance against the wraith of my arrow.   The melon, on the other hand, did survive against the same wrath despite being a larger target. But I also put it much farther away and I’m still struggling with longer distances after only a week of training my archery skills. I have been showing some improvement overall. Just not nearly as much as I wanted.   Glish made

Previous Chapter : Next Chapter After a long and painful journey, we finally arrived home. Grumbsy was as vibrant as any day I’d ever seen. Hundreds of people were out and about. Residents, travelers, neighboring settlers, and tribesmen of all kinds.   Normally I’d hop right into the fun, but Yarrick was about to die. I was pretty sure he was already dead. He hadn’t made any noise the whole way home, not so much as a moan.

Previous Chapter : Next Chapter You had a bad day You’re takin one down Sing a sad song Just to turn it around   It was a relatively empty night in The Titan’s Trap but an enthusiastic audience nonetheless. Months ago I would have called this crowd huge, but as the town grew so did my expectations. Even in the last several weeks since our venture to the Temple of Hades I’d witnessed several homes being built. There

Previous Chapter : Next Chapter   “I stabbed it right through the mouth,” The crowd gasped as I explained. “And I knew I didn’t have the strength to drive my blade deeper into its skull. But do you know what possessed the strength necessary?” They all looked confused before I explained. “The jaws of the beast itself.”    Their hands slapped to their faces as I acted out my own deadly move. “Right as the mouth began to

Previous Chapter : Next Chapter “A round of troll on me,” I announced, sauntering into the titan’s trap expecting a chorus of cheers. Only a few people raised their glasses in gratitude, but for the most part nobody cared I was there.   Of course, there was a bit of a kerfuffle going on. When I approached the small crowd of bickering men I heard Roan shouting, “You said you knew how to open it. So open it?”

Previous Chapter : Next Chapter   An illness had befallen me. That’s the excuse my friends gave Gimble when they left on the adventure without me. I was just pretty hungover from drinking with the dwarves all night, but everyone has a rough day once in a while.  A berry from Nydorri would have put me right in no time. But they “Aren’t candy to be tossed around every time someone has too much to drink.”   Still,
