The Secret of the Rose and Gloveby Kevin Andrew Murphy ... Chapter Four: The Silver Maiden's KeyThe wheel of the year had begun again and with it the month of Abadius. Abadar, Master of the First Vault, did as he had always done, and politely but firmly informed the spirits of the dead the Night of the Pale was over. ...

The Secret of the Rose and Glove—Chapter Three: The Feaster in the Dark

The Secret of the Rose and Gloveby Kevin Andrew Murphy ... Chapter Three: The Feaster in the DarkThe wheel of the year had given a quarter turn and reached its end, the final day of Kuthona, the last month, ruled by the twisted god Zon-Kuthon. Winter, the Season of the Black Dragoness, the watery drake who embodied the phlegmatic humor, had begun but nine days before with the solstice, which the Midnight Lord's sister Shelyn, in her infinite kindness, had declared Crystalhue. The Eternal...

The Secret of the Rose and Gloveby Kevin Andrew Murphy ... Chapter Two: The Torching of the TraitoressesHalf the wheel of the year had turned since Norret's return to Dabril. The ruddy firedrake who ruled summer, salamanders, fire mephits, and tinderbox imps had at last spent his rash choler and ceded his place to autumn, the Season of the Blue Dragoness, the earthen drake who embodied the melancholy humor and was thus honored by carbuncles, gnomes, jewelers, and those who harvest the fruits...

The Secret of the Rose and Glove—Chapter One: The Roses of Dabril

The Secret of the Rose and Gloveby Kevin Andrew Murphy ... Chapter One: The Roses of DabrilIt was spring like the day he had left, the Season of the Green Dragon, the aerial drake who embodied the sanguine humor and led his retinue of floral fey in a gay procession. Hyacinths and narcissi dotted the meadows where they had passed, the blossoms' soft perfume filling the cool air, and then a breeze came up from the river, bringing with it an indescribable fragrance, something Norret Gantier had...

The Swamp Warden—Chapter Two: Fear the Scaled Ones

The Swamp Wardenby Amber E. Scott ... Chapter Two: Fear the Scaled OnesThe oar cut into the water and pulled back, leaving swirling eddies of silt in its wake. Rhyn rowed with purpose, sliding the skiff around the boles of giant trees lifting out of the muck. The insects were no worse and no better. Frogs sang creaky songs in the darkness. ... Within an hour he'd reached the site of the strange fetish. It still hung, awkward and grim, from the tree branch. Rhyn tied the skiff to a stump and...

The Swamp Wardenby Amber E. Scott ... Chapter One: Ripples in the FenFear the scaled ones. Rhyn had heard the expression from his parents and the other elders in the village his whole life, and they had heard the expression from their parents, and back farther than anyone could remember. No one knew who had first coined the phrase, but Rhyn knew whoever did had lived in a swamp, this one or another, for he had learned the lesson that the villagers of Crossfen now taught their youth. ...

Certainty—Chapter Four: The Stone

Certaintyby Liane Merciel ... Chapter Four: The StoneJelani, Adrun, with me, I said. The rest of you, keep going. Whatever the scout had found had terrified the man, and I didn't want his panic spreading to the others. ... Found tracks, the scout said when we were out of the others' earshot. Followed them. He thrust a hand forward, jerkily, as if to hurl the memory away. ... I was about to ask how he had spotted tracks on the tundra when I saw them myself: a line of booted prints sunk deep...

Certainty—Chapter Three: Justice

Certaintyby Liane Merciel ... Chapter Three: JusticeThe first of the Burner's prisoners was a pregnant woman, though I would have thought her long past her childbearing years. She wasn't a day under fifty, and might easily have been ten years older. ... Those years were heavy on her, and the short, dirty shift she wore did nothing to conceal them. Her shoulders were soft and spotted brown; her legs were puffed and lumpy as badly kneaded dough. The weight of a lifetime's grief dragged down her...

Certaintyby Liane Merciel ... Chapter Two: Valas’s GiftA grim silence settled over the recruits after that welcome. When another soldier came to lead them to the armory, they followed quietly, their heads lowered like those of condemned men marching to the gallows. ... I rose to go with them, but the scarred soldier waved me down. After the others had gone, and the banners on the walls had stopped flapping in their wake, he leaned back, watching me. Do you know why they have me greet the new...

Blood Crimes—Chapter One: No Good Deed

Blood Crimesby J. C. Hay ... Chapter One: No Good DeedThe paladin's spittle hit me full in the cheek, and began a slow crawl toward my chin. His aim impressed me—it's not easy to hit a small target in a crowd, especially when bound and being dragged to the executioner's platform. I cut the cords on the purse of the merchant in front of me and secreted it into a sleeve as I passed in the condemned man's wake. Paladins were a rarity on the platform, and this one had brought a good crowd....

Noble Sacrifice—Chapter Three: Holding Ground

Noble Sacrificeby Richard Ford ... Chapter Three: Holding GroundThe narrow mountain trail was treacherous, more of a goat trail than a discernible pathway, but Tiberion moved with all haste, seemingly heedless of the danger. Kal was hard pressed to keep up with the hulking warrior as he almost sprinted down the face of the cliff. They had long since lost sight of the goblinoid army, but that did nothing to diminish the pressing urgency of their mission. Unless Wolfpoint were warned, the...

Kal braced himself for the inevitable deluge that would pierce his flesh and leave him bleeding like a stuck pig... but it never came. ...

... Oh yeah! Adventure Paths! Friday, February 12, 2010Huh. It's been a while since I've talked about an Adventure Path in the blog, I just realized.
