Quarrels and Quills

Marshal Knox "Thank you," Marshal said. "Thank you for being so kind to me." He hugged her back, fervently but gently enough to make sure he didn’t cause pain. He was conscious of his body. Of his hands. Carefully placed hands. Remaining a gentleman. The hug felt so good, so ful...

Tempest Rutherford and Ulga gra-Shatul When morning had dawned, and Ulga had returned, they met with Melar Sadus for an impromptu council meeting. They had the evidence to present now - proof that far from being a hostile invasion force, the elf refugees had been stranded here against their will. I...

Sellia and Gwindor They now had a captive vampire. Fortunately, they also had a convenient cell to lock him up in. The bandits had maintained a couple of small cells, presumably for locking up hostages for ransom - or perhaps just keeping the treasure they had looted safe from other bandits. In any...
