Darian shook me awake. “Why,” he asked, setting a tankard of breakfast before me, “would you fall asleep by the fire with that amazing creature waiting in your bed?” He waved toward the door, where Val, particularly fetching without her studded leather armor, was just leaving. “Unless,” he cast a quick glance at the bar, …

Tilia’s Field Notes: Travis
Among our odd little party, Travis and I are the most obviously unlike the others in appearances. He is a particularly interesting creature, a mysteriously animated man made of wooden elements, none of which are still living but somehow together make a sentient person. He’s a machine of some sort, but obviously much more complex …
Wynlynn’s Reflections 6
As I step back onto solid ground, I am relieved to be out of that dangerous strange place. Val is looking worse for wear but is safe for the moment and I can relax, at least about that. We are back in the room where we had made the access stone. While we had certainly …
Agenar’s journal, page 241
This morning, Wynlynn told us that Travis tried to escape during the night, and somehow Pantaghion wanted to help.

Our very sense of the nature of reality is shaken, and you know that I do not speak lightly, having witnessed some fantastical phenomena at the …

Agenar’s journal, page 239
Our respite did not last. Travis, in spite of his injuries, wished to return below. Val, with help from Wynlynn, carried him out of Thalnoth’s tomb into the soft light of a brisk autumn morning. It seems we were underground for some days, though our time in the hidden temples passed without even hunger. Travis, …
Agenar’s Theme
I can’t draw if my life depended on it…so I thought I’d upload a music sketch instead. Here is a short guitar improvisation inspired by Agenar’s character: https://www.dropbox.com/s/s2u947k7aeb2o9u/agenar.mp3?dl=0
