Questions and… Answers?

by Tower Curator — “Traitorous scum!” Alyssa sighed. She was about done listening to this guy. From the intelligencer, she knew that he was a mercenary, a hired bounty hunter. She knew his mission was to kidnap some of the monsters from the camp for Yora. After an hour of trying to get some information out of him, she hadn’t learned what had actually happened to his fellow bounty hunters, but she really didn’t need to. Tenebrael was back in play. Once she picked up her little black book from Iosefael, Alyssa could…

Quick Experiments

by Tower Curator — Alyssa woke up much too early. She had a headache. Her throat felt a little sore and her eyes were dry. The woes of having stayed out way too late. Perhaps she should have expected it, but Rokien and Worrik had sat around talking with each other for hours. The topics they covered ranged from joyous assurances that they were both alright to mournful recounting of the deceased—names Alyssa hadn’t recognized, for the most part. She really felt awkward listening in on them. Most of the time, she sat off…

Further Experiments

by Tower Curator — Alyssa took a deep breath. “Sorry I snapped at you,” she said after a long moment of holding it. “I’m just a little frustrated. I expected this to be…” “Easy?” Irulon said, handling a glob of dripping… something. Alyssa’s latest failure. The princess didn’t seem concerned in the slightest that whatever it was leaking might be toxic. Rather, she looked at it like she wanted to dissect it. Not that it was living. At least, Alyssa was pretty sure it wasn’t living. Alyssa wasn’t…

Brakkt II

by Tower Curator — Brakkt strode forward, undaunted by the group of infected before him. The group was relatively small. Twelve. No. Thirteen. One was occluded by a larger body in front of it. None looked particularly dangerous. Surely none were as aware as the infected Taker had been… or even his infected younger sister. They were the same low-level infected that he had been killing for the last week. So far, they didn’t know where the infected were coming from. One or two might have been missed by the Astral…

Knock Knock

by Tower Curator — <-- Back | Index | Next --> Tether Knock Knock The body’s design had finally been finalized. Irulon has sketched out an almost disturbingly detailed image of what the dragon wanted from a whole variety of angles. And it wasn’t just the outside that Irulon had drawn. Alyssa had a skeleton drawn out. Another series of sketches laid musculature over the top. Irulon had even gone all out in drawing circulatory and nervous systems. Understanding that Alyssa needed accurate information to…

Dervish

by Tower Curator — Useful information was hard to come by in the camp. Not that Alyssa really expected otherwise. The whole point behind hiring people to hire people to do dirty work was to keep the original’s nose clean. That wasn’t to say that she found absolutely nothing. Inside the same tent that the Chief had occupied, Alyssa found a ledger. It didn’t list names or dates, but it did list a price and the… ‘goods’ that were sold. Some entries were actually material goods. Wolf pelts, a crate of apples,…

Symphonic Ritual

by Tower Curator — Alyssa skipped through the city toward the exit. Not quite literally, but she was in a pretty good mood. There, so far, had not been any major issues with the monsters. Whoever was pursuing them had not taken any further actions against them. There were guards, both monster and human, set up around their camp to keep watch for any further assassins or general malcontents. From what Alyssa had gathered so far, there wasn’t much reason to be concerned. It was a fairly boring job for both parties. Just…
