My name is Cal. I helped Lyn with setting up, organizing and managing this blog, and was a very good friend of hers for a long time. Lyn has passed away. She wrote about her hospital stay earlier this year; there were further complications, and she died last night. She was a great friend and […]

She grabbed his hand. That was not what he was expecting, though in retrospect he ought to have. Edthwin, not being a stupid man, followed where she led. The fort was in flames, after all, and there was cannon fire in the distance. She picked an old well house and paused, clearly just […]

On the Mend

Folks, Hi. Sorry for my abrupt vanishing. Eary January 2021, I was having a bad day – pain, pressure, lightheadedness. Off to the emergency room! Sometime in the next couple days I sent a single word message to some friends, still expecting this to be fast: pancreatitis. About then, said disease, the painkillers, and various complications […]

"The books are wrong." The smile on this particular oracle's face was amazingly smug.

Eralon Questions

http://www.lynthornealder.com/2021/02/11/eralon-questions/

The oracle Aisha, who had been sitting in the chair, was sleeping next to Sparrow, cuddled against him in a way that would probably be considered most unseemly - and perhaps would have, if Transom Achares, the Lead Lesser High Priest, wasn't sleeping on the other side of Sparrow, cuddled just as closely.

Eralon Commands

The god-in-the-oracle was not supposed to be able to smite anyone past that red tile line, but then again, there were a lot of things the god-in-the-oracle wasn't known to do and speaking conversationally with a priest and standing up to shout at that priest were definitely on the list.

Small Fry & Broken Wings 2

The rubble hit Charming in the head while he was still trying to stop the blasted wyvern from eating a police officer. He had managed to get the thing pinned down, a piece of rebar through its neck, but it was still moving.

He missed fights that weren't in the middle of downtown and didn't involve massive swarms of wyverns.

Bilge Rats and Puppets, Chapter Four

Jones had left nothing but a series of hash marks in his cell, but the pattern of them was interesting, so Charming copied it down into a book. It was possible the pirate really was hiding some secret. Charming certainly had a few of his own.

Ctirad found that he was smiling at Signy the way he probably hadn’t smiled at a woman in years. Lifetimes. Generations. Like a peer. Like a friend. It couldn’t last, but he liked the feeling.

Of course, they had more important things than him making friends right now.

The tavern was old; it had been old for longer than the country around it had existed. It was made of stone and wood so old and so saturated with smoke that it might as well be stone; it had never stopped being heated with wood, although the design of the hearth had changed from time to time.

This story came out of my Annual New Year's Eve Prompt Call; it's a slice-of-life, I suppose?

Eralon Discovers

2021-01-22T00:17:23Z

http://www.lynthornealder.com/2021/01/21/eralon-discovers/

Some oracles of the temple were suspected to be not that well connected to the deities, if at all. Some of them used a voice that, among the cloisters of their dormitory, they called The God Voice.

Some, however, were truly taken by the god.

Signy was staring at Ctirad in obvious horror. Timaios squeezed him tighter to his side, a quick gesture and still clearly affectionate. Sara Florentina was looking at him as if he'd just gotten interesting.
