Too soon! Teric thought, kicking himself. His opponent was similar in size and stature to himself, but when his first blow struck home with enough force to send the man flying, the mercenary feared...

"Someone's mommy didn't teach them how to address their elders." Teric noted, coolly. As recently as a couple of years ago he might have tried to correct the boy, teach his fellow warrior a lesson...

"So we're clear on the rules then?"

"We're clear on your suggestions, yes." The monk sighed and took Teric's sword belt when it was offered. "But again, I can't force someone to give up their...

Teric and Sidsa fled south under the cover of darkness, rushing through the woods towards the Osolav river. South of the river lay Uroda, the habitable breadbasket region of the country that was...

"What do you think he wants?" Sidsa asked. She was holding the curtain by the door open, staring out the window alongside Teric at the man who'd shown up just before dark.

"I don't know," the...

It might have been spring already in some parts of Salvar, but here - just south of the Kalev Highlands - winter was not yet ready to relinquish its hold. A storm descended on Darga's Run just before...

"You're cheating." Sidsa's tone was indignant. "You can still see."

"No, I can't." Teric countered, straightening up and squaring his shoulders with the source of the witch's voice. He had a wide...

Zerith Dracosius...

The rain fell in sheets, drenching the lone figure in the muddy roadway just outside the Flowering Fields Inn. The yellow, inviting glow of tallow candles ringed the outer...

Of all the luck I haven't got today...

Four guardsmen arrayed themselves between Teric and the gangplank to his escape. How the armed detachment had focused on him so quickly in the chaos was...

Someone in the background of the action was shouting. Teric's little pyrotechnic display had blinded half the dockside and startled just about everyone within earshot. The air was alive with the...

The flat of Ahk'Ran's kopesh hit Teric squarely between the shoulders. Chainmail was good against sharp edges and projectiles, but it did little to dull blunt strikes, and the surprise blow elicited...

Teric snorted, his frustration plain on his face. Calmly, almost coldly, the mercenary shrugged the bag off his shoulder and let it drop to the damp, rotting timbers of the wharf. The two men, ivory...

My reputation precedes me... again.

Teric was suddenly made to feel very uncomfortable, standing there on the dockside with another man prostrate before him. The mercenary's blade was halfway out...

Rather than copy/paste a duplicate version of my lvl 8 profile (since I'm not interested in making 2 levels worth of updates on short notice), can't you just reopen and review my existing level 8...

Registered.

The way I remember the ToW working (and somebody please correct me if I've confused it with something else, and have been referring to it as the ToW this whole time), was that you had a list of...

While the Dajas Pagoda was my bread and butter, I always had a soft spot for the ToW.

And here I was thinking you'd forgotten about me :P

Would it be inappropriate to start up a "Bring back Hans" campaign?

Also, re-welcome back again!

Karuka was a character. I don't believe her writer frequents the site anymore. Not that I'm aware at least.

Welcome to Althanas!

For the record, I'm going to refer to you as "Squiggles".

Welcome back.

There was something uniquely disturbing about hearing Sei's words resonating around inside his skull, so Teric found himself trying to keep the wary edge out of his voice as they bantered. It wasn't...

He landed right behind me. The mercenary found himself thinking. To the observer it might have seemed innocuous enough, but Teric read the subtext well. The fancy acrobatics, the landing spot at his...
