A Keep's Ransom: Part 2 While Erilthel snuck back into the fort to wait for the best chance to free Seeks, Eveli climbed up one of the fort's towers. Hauling herself hand over hand up stone was harder than climbing trees - the stones had more handholds than bark, but there was no comforting rustle of leaves. It was also…
Harrada Harvest: Part 2 Vos-Huruk and Varanis perched atop one of the pyramidal towers outside of the Silent Halls xanmeer. The Argonian woman scanned the complex with a pair of binoculars. She grinned. "What did I say about drugged up beasts?" She handed over the pair and pointed it out to Varanis. Near the entrance in a…
The Ghostwriter of Giovesse: Part 2 Mathen and Alizinda's lovers cottage was well out in the swamp, long since boarded up, broken down, and overgrown by poison-spitting plants in the front yard. Most of the furniture within was likewise broken in by years of exposure to the elements. They started sifting through it anyway.…
Haunted Legacy: Part 1 The next morning, the innkeeper delivered breakfast with a box and a note from Varanis that read, "I've gone to investigate the disappearances at Farmer's Nook with my friend Alchemy. Your daggers arrived from the Fighters Guild." Mirri pulled off the lid. Inside were two straight-bladed daggers in…
Haunted Legacy: Part 3 The X marked a spot in the swamp forest outside of Gideon that was surrounded by lightning-blasted dead trees. Mirri took a few steps into the clearing and felt the hair on the back of her neck rise up as the dead grass crumbled to dust under her boots. "There's nothing living here." Tiras held up…
"An Abundance of Stibbons" To make up for lost time at Veyond, Varanis and Mirri bypassed Gideon, stopping briefly at Glenbridge to rest Mirri's horse and eat lunch. The Argonian keeper at the waystation, a male with a proud crest of salt-and-pepper feathers, took their flatbread order with a warning, "Don't go up to the…
The Face of Change: Part 1 Varanis rode up the road to Farmer's Nook, turning off just before the inn at a little inlet where the colorful caravan of the House of Revelries had set up their rainbow of ribbons, banners, lanterns, and striped circus tent. She slowed her panther to a walk as she was mobbed by masked…
A Mysterious Event: Part 3 The open air gardens of the Temple of Dibella echoed with the crack of wood on wood, loud enough that Mirri and Eveli heard it with alarm as they entered the main floor. "What's going on?" Mirri demanded of Priestess Larusa. "One of our Knights of the Lily answered the call more quickly than I…
"A Deadly Secret" Part 1 "Some of the folks on this list are pretty highly ranked," Mirri said as she and Varanis approached the main gate of Leyawiin. "They may not want to see us. Do we just announce that you're the Vestige, come with a dire warning?" Varanis eyed the small group of finely dressed ladies arguing with a…
