There's a lot of things in my life I want to forget, even more that I never will. One of the latter were the skies on this day 40 years ago. I was 12. I lived in my roller skates at that age. There was some sort of competition up at the mall that day. … Continue reading 40 years ago, a volcano blew up.

Thia stood back, trying to figure out what it was Jinnaari and Moon were fighting. To her, it was nothing more than a whisper of color within the whirlwind. Helix had disappeared. That wasn’t new, but the look on his face made her think he may not be coming back. Adam and Caelynn were still … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 86 – Who is worthy to wield?

Jinnaari picked up the bead, letting it bounce off the palm of his hand. Two slaads rested inside, trapped. The other two were now mush. He glanced at Thia, making sure she was okay. She’d fought harder than normal this time, and took a lot of damage for it. “What are you going to do … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 85 – Trick Shot

"Thia, wait here,” Jinnaari said as he looked down the hall they’d just walked through. He could hear Moon and Gnat arguing over…something. “I just want to look at it! It’s shiny!” Moon practically screamed. “No! Mine!” the goblin shot back. “Hey, both of you, calm down. What’s going on?” Jinnaari took a deep breath … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 84 – Forkke and Spoone

Caelynn randomly plucked at the strings of the instrument. Sighing, she put it down. Her heart wasn’t into the music today. It hadn’t been for days. Had it been days since Adam’s Patron brought them here? Or months? The isolation of the tower wore on her soul. It was, for the most part, just the … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 83 – Sitting idle

It's the final Monday of April! That's something, right? Several packages arriving this week. Baked goodies to make and deliver. Words to write, game to prep for, and lawn to deal with. And a lot of deep breathing. Switching to curbside pick up for my groceries, starting this week. The store's just getting too crowded … Continue reading Day 40

We made it to Sunday. The 5 years that have happened in the month of April are coming to a close.   I honestly don't see me personally returning to work (at the retail job, writing is happening still) until June. The last announcement from Gov. Inslee talked about the state's recovery being like a … Continue reading Is April over yet?

Thia took a moment and healed herself before Jinnaari could. She hadn’t stood back this time. Instead, she dove into the middle of the fight. Her body was bruised and battered, yes, but she’d survived. “Did Lolth teach you those moves, Thia?” Helix said, far enough away from her she couldn’t instantly reach out and … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 82 – Turning a screw

“Hey, Jinnaari,” Thia kept her voice low. He’d stayed up, keeping watch with her, after they’d gotten things straight between them. “On the whole Helix problem. I think I have a solution.” “Keep talking.” She shifted, “In his journal, he mentioned he’s been curling up at my feet to sleep while in the ethereal plane. … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 81 – A return to normalcy

Adam stood at the railing of the balcony, staring at the clouds. The mountain seemed to be cut in two by them. Below the tower, somewhere in the Undermountain, were his companions. With luck, they’d found the proof they needed to clear Jinnaari’s name. If not, he hoped that he and Caelynn would be allowed … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 80 – Gabriel and Adam
