“It’s agreed, then?” Bahamut asked, looking at the creature across the scrying pool from him. The Solar flared, but the light was a comfort to Bahamut. The creature was one of the Old Gods, and deserved His respect. “Do you want to go first?” The Solar asked. “Thank you,” The Dragonborn shifted his gaze to … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 25 – The Dreams

Adam moved across the floor, making sure not to step on any of his sleeping companions. Jinnaari sat on the far side of the room, watching him. He was early for his turn on watch. He had to talk with the paladin, and didn’t want anyone else to hear, so now was the best chance … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 24 – Training Begins

Adam brought up the rear of the party, keeping his ears open. Thia had been acting odd during the last fight, screaming at someone the rest of them couldn’t hear. Jinnaari and Caelynn went down a staircase. “How the hell…,” Jinnaari called up to them. “I thought you guys said Helix was dead?” “He was. … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 23 – An Old Friend is Found

Savy flung herself at the stone block, “Rhaine!” Nothing. It wouldn’t budge. Everyone else was on the other side of the massive rock. For a moment, she thought about using Dawnbringer as a chisel. You’re overthinking this. She blinked. “Lathander?” she whispered. I told you both that you would be here on loan only until … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 22 – The Sword Arm of Lathander

Herasta sat at her desk, her head in her hands. The search of Thia wasn’t going as well as she anticipated. Lolth demanded updates daily now, and there was little that she could share that would please the Goddess. Aust was still out there, though. Of her sons, he showed the most potential. He was … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 21 – The Message

The larger orbs’ outer shell retreated, and Jinnaari climbed out. “What’d I miss?” Thia let herself relax for a moment, staying back as Adam and Lynn went to their old friend. It was nothing against Rhaine or Savy, but she’d not felt completely safe since Jinnaari had disappeared on them. Not disappeared, she reminded herself. … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 20 – Reunion

The blue white light beckoned, chasing the darkness of the maze into the recesses of his mind. He’d slain Aust, beaten him to the center. The glow could only be the portal. Finally, he’d be allowed to return to his companions. Jinnaari resisted the urge to rush toward the light. Time had lost meaning in … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 19 – The Way Back

“Shit,” Rhaine breathed when she examined Lynn’s arm. The skin was translucent, with small cracks forming. Whatever the creature spit on her definitely wasn’t good for her health. Savy sat in the boat, watching the commotion. That Rhaine was swearing wasn’t a good sign. Sure, she swore. A lot. But that was Rhaine. And she … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 18 – Savy Gets Smart

Jinnaari broke into a run, rage blinding him to reason. Aust had crept up on him as he dozed, almost sliced open his abdomen. He’d woken up in time to deflect the sword. The Drow had snarled, and ran. The coward! He knew Jinnaari would beat him in a fair fight. Blood seeped from his … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 17 – The Cave-in

“Thia!” Rhaine shouted at her. “I’m fine,” she replied. Moving carefully, she pulled herself free of the remnants of the webbing. “Once Adam killed the priestess, most of it dropped away.” She shuddered, brushing the last of the sticky strands from her cloak. “Anyone hurt?” Rhaine called out again as Thia moved around the body … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 16 – Resolve is Tested
