It took him a while to drag himself out a mass of debris that used to be a small room, now little more than wreckage far underground at the bottom of a vertical tunnel. He was bleeding all over,...
Hellhand's mount tore open the chest cavity of an offending dragon, spilling assorted viscera into the sky-tunnel and dragging the beast along for several long seconds before internal connections...
Rowan wasn't the only one. It looked like everything was converging on Hellhand's battleship. And not without reason.
In a sky full of steampunk malevolence, demonic entities run amok, dragons...
Cannonfire shattered a cloud of smoke and lead shot the size of fists raked across a hull of harshly enchanted wood and metal, gouging out huge holes and mangling orcs within sprays of fire and...
"Didn't we do things the other way around last time?" Rowan breathlessly asked as he caught up to the Sorcerer, who was geomancing a road right around the base of the mountain at close to fifty miles...
By this point, it would be fair to say that Hell had broken loose.
"GET DOWN!" was the closest thing Rowan gave to a warning as he dove down from one of the masts, rolled along the deck between...
"Ido! Palo! Tero! Coro! Feyo! Nelo!" Rowan called as he paced from the front of the brigade to the back, walking a slow and steady circuit around the lot of them. Every word was a number, one through...
It was day six by the time anyone's stomach started growling. All eyes immediately went to Savas, just as a general reflex action.
"Hey, don't look at me," he told them with both hands placatingly...
For a fraction of a second, the world seemed to stand completely still.
Several hundred mouths hung open in shock, and Fireside Company's were counted among them. The four men stood inside of...
It is fair to say that things don't always go as planned. You might even say that life just sort of goes off the rails every now and then. You wake up one day, go for a walk, then boom! You're not...
Rowan woke up one day in a bed occupied by himself, two women, no sheets and even less clothing. He stared at the ceiling for a minute or two, grinned to himself and got up. He didn't care to think...
Sijal Kar picked up the pace, trying like all Hells to outrun his own misspent power. Rowan looked up, his head barely above the dark cloud enveloping most of the godling's body.
"...fuck me," he...
Siege Arcana for the third or fourth time and Rowan had gotten better at ducking and covering when the burnt and frozen chunks of glass came tumbling by. His armor had been stripped down to the chain...
It wasn't until after the tectonic shift that the rest of Fireside Company finally caught up with Caden. The interior of the Catacombs had gone lopsided, broken, just plain rearranged in ways that...
"So what's the plan?" Rowan asked before they'd even gotten the shackles off. The Warden had been unceremoniously disarmed, partially disrobed in search of other weapons or items, and then chucked...
Picture an anorexic, vaguely humanoid raptor with vacant blue eyes, the pupils fogged and gray from disuse. The tail should be shortened, the ribs widened a little bit, and the arms almost...
Rowan was top notch for the standards of the Zirnden. He practically had a lifetime of martial arts training. He was a street warrior in the most literal sense, and he had made more than a few gold...
"Multiple attackers coming from where Savas said the tunnel would be!" Aeraul shouted as he broke from a quick walk to a full-on run behind his shield. "Rowan, follow me!"
"Aw, hells," Rowan...
They didn't shop so much as they went to war on Scara Brae's Bazaar district. Caden paid for it. Where he got the money and how he carried all of it, none of them could hope to say. Every single one...
Chi pulsed to the soles of Rowan Stormwind's feet. He lurched forward, right, then left, then he was running. There was less than twenty feet between himself and the Wizard, but Rowan ran anyway. The...
Rowan got dressed. They relocated.
Picture now: Dajas Pagoda. Not the elaborate magical kung-fu arenas favored by the martial elite or the pagoda monks, but the actual pagoda itself. The one that...
It was just short of noon the next day when Rowan Stormwind heard a knock at his door. Which was more like a sledgehammer hitting a gong, given how hung over he was from last night. Hung over and...
Long-term semi-solo, for the most part. And no, Rowan's feelings are not my own; I got the idea for this from Jay himself :p Foul language ahoy, but only heavy for the first post. If any openings...
Welcome back, person whose reapplication cracks me up for patently obvious reasons! :D
Hit 50k, but only just. The Curse of November smacked the hell out of me this year.
