It seemed to be a quiet day. No guild called out because someone had broken his arm again, and at the farm, Sunih and Zalen seemed to have everything under control. As I was about to make coffee, a small blue lizard sat on our kitchen table and ran excitedly back and forth. I fir...

»Your damned messenger has surely gotten lost« the Tiefling shouted to Tarlyn, »The Drow costs us nothing but food and patience. She is rebellious, uncooperative and she spits on us every time we get close enough.« - »Sounds like the perfect woman for you« Tarlyn mocked the Tiefl...

A few days ago I awoke chained up in a tiny, moldy dungeon. The skeletal remains of a carcass lay nearby - clearly my previous tenant's luck failed him. Raising my head, my eyes swept through the room. In the dim light, the gleam of my weapons caught my eye, scattered upon the ta...

It took me 14 days until I finally found the dwarf Dhondreck, and luckily he had just enough time to take care of the frame. He was very enthusiastic when he heard my name and showed me euphorically that he still had enough of the Mythril he had from my father to forge my frame f...

We had been back in the village for some time, and apparently, I gained the trust of many a person after I brought the child back. Even the child still followed me for a while, for whatever reason. I didn't get the promised 20 gold pieces, but it was enough to buy a small, finely...

When I woke up again, Nimri licked my face with his unusually long tongue. I wonder how long I was unconscious. The fish, wherever Nimri had got it from, lying next to me, to judge, not just a few hours. I pulled myself up again and stowed away the fish.
I looked up through the...

What a fall. However, bipeds do not always seem to land on their feet. When I saw her lying unconscious, I started to worry a little bit. What if my pretty one doesn't wake up again? I could never look into her sparkling black eyes again, which are both intimidating and seductive...

I now felt like I was on the road for an eternity. But as my gold was running out, I was lucky to find in a small village a client who sent me on a search for a missing child. The child had gone to the north to collect iceberries, whatever that might be. Anyway, he'll pay me 20 g...

I spent the last weeks taking small jobs in the village, which I found at the wall by the swamp. Lower level jobs where I didn't have much to do with the mob. As it turned out, the people here didn't want to be served by a Drow in the tavern, or were even disgusted when they lear...
