Chapter 61 - The Darkness

(note, I have final chapter numbers so this will become Chapter 59, but I'm going to keep up with the existing structure i have here)

Even with Fenris expecting the attack, he didn’t expect it this quickly.  The passage was full of debris and everyone expected it to take several ...

Chapter 60 - The Reformation

“That explains what he was doing,” I said, surveying the reformed undead army.  Both sides had been patching themselves up, it was just that the undead did such a better job of it.  

“What are those,” asked Shart as a massive twenty foot tall undead stomped towards th...

Chapter 59 - The Next Wave

“Get the wounded to the hospitals!  Send anyone too injured to fight back to Windfall,” ordered Fenris.  What the commander hadn’t said was that too injured to fight pretty much meant unable to fight.  The level of injury he’d allow right now was something he’d never cons...

Chapter 58 -  The Stars Fall 

“I thought you said you couldn’t Counterspell those,” said Tri-blade, as the explosion faded.

“It isn’t a spell.  The spell is dragging a light out of the ceiling,” replied Grebthar.  He was going to have to drag down another one.  Even if Jim somehow blocked one,...

Chapter 57  - Darkest Hour

There were so many, Julia blasted wave after wave of undead as they rushed the top of the fortress.  The waves were full of regular undead as well as the champions that were proving so difficult.  Each wave pushed them further and further back until they were very nearly sitting on the ...

Chapter 56 Breakpoint

“I’m surprised to see you still standing,” said the Dark Overlord.  His mocking tone scratched at my self-control.  

I rotated my arm around.  The bones realigned, and I fused them with a quick Treatment.  “I’m just getting started.”

Of cour...

Chapter 55 - Fun and Games

One moment Julia was moving to the next defensive point, the next she was on her ass.  The wall shook, and even more chunks of it began to sheer off.  

“What happened,” asked Julia and SueLeeta pointed.  There was a crater in the middle of the Dark Overlord’...

Chapter 54 - Welcome to the Jungle

Flying was kind of like Falling, just with more control.  I had enough perks and skill anymore that while I couldn’t really fly, I could fall with style.  I landed several hundred logs outside of the wall in a crater where someone had lobbed a thingamabob.

A weapons grade thinga...

Chapter 53 – A fecking dragon

“Is that a Dragon,” muttered the princess.  SueLeeta didn’t need to check, she already spotted the thing heading here and sent her message over to Fenris.  Jim was right, the Dark Overlord did have a wildcard.

In theory, a dragon was terrifying.  In reality, they were s...

Chapter 52 - The Final Countdown

“I’d say it is about time,” said Badgelor, returning briefly from his scouting mission.  The companion link was not on a channel that was easily monitored, so the war badger remained unseen.  

“How are they holding up,” I asked.

“Seen better, but also seen m...

Chapter 51 - Fear of Commitment

“That’s four hits,” said Fenris as the gate rang again.  The Western Gate was composed of alchemically reinforced Ironwood with a smattering of Mana and Science based enhancements.  That made the wood harder than iron, and it was over two feet thick.  

The f...

Chapter 50 – The Best Around

The fireball roared overhead, covering the distance between Grebthar and the wall in an eyeblink.  It was like some sort of horrific spell dual between gods and men, and the fireball slammed into the combined barrier of the entire Falconian Royal House in an explosion that vaporized t...

Chapter 49 - The Divine Wind

 

“You have to be fecking kidding me,” grumbled the Dark Overlord as he glared down at the contraption.  

“What was that,” asked TriBlade as Grebthar poked at the remains of the flying device.  The detection spell he perfected centuries ago leading t...

Chapter 48 - The Calm

Fenris tried to remain calm, but with so many adventurers milling about he felt out of place.  Especially with all of them looking at him.  He was the Commander of the Armies of Windfall, a character right out of their legends, and he did not enjoy that one bit.  

There ...

Chapter 47 - The quiet before the storm

As they left the room I considered my options.  I was going to have to fight the Dark Overlord, but despite all of my gear and equipment I’d made nothing I had was going to put a dent in Charles.  I still had a great number of magical components from Jersey, but nothing I’d f...

Chapter 46 – Conference room

After the room filled up, we walked in.  The break room was directly attached to the conference room, making that easier.  Making the wait was just a strategy, showing the collected people whose time was more valuable.  Fenris and I both looked perfectly composed, and prepared.&nbs...

Chapter 45 – The Base


The officer’s building was a Tier 3 structure that was almost as large as the barracks at this point.  Buildings on Ordinal had slots for rooms that aided in their general function.  Some of those slots were more valuable than others and the two buildings represented...

Chapter 44 – War Plans


It was time to make war plans.  That meant I had to go visit Fenris.  

I opened up my Traveling options.  I could open Portals to most locations I’d claimed and could grant permission to others, if I chose to do so.  As no one other than Charles ...

Chapter 43- Return of the Army

The army of War Badgers was on the march, with Badgelor proudly leading. The rest were in parade formation, as they surveyed their territory. Apparently, their territory was all my territory.

“And he’s fine with the fact that the adults perished?” asked HarDragon, al...

Chapter 42 – The Lord of the Badgers

 

Badgelor was doing pushups.  Badger pushups.  Or something like that.  Actually, I had no idea what the feck Badgelor was doing.  Whatever it was, it was clearly wrong.  The female War Badger said so.  

Quite vociferously.   View Post

Chapter 41 – The Return of the King (of Badgers)

(Update, Divine Share was supposed to be a dungeon core fragment, my notes were not as complete as I'd like and the editor usually catches this stuff)

Dialysis Book: Revision Chapter 33: Aftermath

“Well, I don’t know what you were expecting,” said Spivy as we walked through the shattered remains of the tower.  “Did you expect some sort of showdown between you and the System Lord?”

“No,” I said grumpily.  “I mean sort of, but not really.”

“Everyone, this is Max and saved my life,” said Quatax as he held up his mug.  I grinned, he was making a good point.  The elf looked around unsteadily and then pointed at Shade, or at least made the effort.  “And that’s Shade, he is a good boy.”

Non-Noobtown: Writing an ending.

Sometimes you realize that your lead up to the end is better than the actual ending you had planned, and despite efforts to jazz up the actual ending you keep looking back to a pervious point in the story and thinking to yourself... it should have ended there.

So in the dialysis book, my or...

“I was a smoking hot twenty year old,” said Jarra as she examined herself in the mirror, “And you wanted nothing to do with me.”

“I wouldn’t say that,” I said, yawning.

Chapter 39 – Fighting the good fight


I actually wondered what an all divine party looked like in combat.  The Windfallians tended to be more warrior focused classes, and while we had our buffs they weren’t what I’d describe as overwhelming.  I got to sit for a good thirty seconds while both Paladin’s activ...

Dialysis Book: Chapter 33: The Magical Tower of the System Lord


I thought I had grown accustomed to being teleported.  After all, when Shade did a teleport, it was seamless.  You were just in the new spot a moment later and you better be ready to do what you needed to do.  That was not the case for Sylanada, she had a speed based t...
