- 117 The first spell she cast was a.s.say.It took hours to get all the mana she needed to fill her Valences, and all the time she had a really bad feeling, as if something was happening around her. The second heartbeat she heard seemed to be getting weaker, an

- 119 She was in a city, in the slums down by the docks, where only the poorest of the poor lived.Naturally, she had to get out of there. Cities were hives of disease, and she was in no condition to be breathing this air with her tiny, laboring lungs. She reall

- 123 It took Hazé twenty days to solve the puzzle of Weirding the Silent Spell Meta. Able to use Valence II's to cast now, she could do eighty Casts a day with I+I's. Thirteen days after that, Still Spell was done. Eschew Components was inbuilt as a

- 127 Hazé knew the two idiots were bad news as soon as they walked in the door. The bell rang loudly, and heavy boots scuffed the floor, pounding on the boards self-importantly, breaths were cleared haughtily, and loud sniffs could be heard even before she and
- 128 His steps were loud because plate armor isn't stealthy, especially fifty pounds of it. But it wasn't like she was hiding, having moved from hours of Tatting out hundreds of dwarves eager to get a taste of what it meant to fight with Thunder in y
- 129 Hazé spun her short Staff around her hand. Being four years old was still a major pain, but not as bad as it used to be. The fact she knew some Cantrips was now common knowledge, but to be expected since her Mama knew magic and had been progressing nicely
- 130 I knew he was coming, and it was a Big Thing. The King Under the Mountain generally stayed Under the Mountain, and him coming out was not something idle.Given the number of dwarves running around with Marks and grumping to one another in Marktell and real

- 134 Eight different warbands were taken out in one day. It was a new record for combats, and Sama or a Void Brother were present at all of them. Demons were Summoned, and the lesser ones Fed the Land all the way around. The Greaters were sent packing back to
- 135 The door rang, but there was no magical presence of whoever entered.Hazé already expected what to see, but popped her head around the corner anyway. "Oh, it's you. Be right with you, Brother!"The Fire and the Sword smiled despite himself. S

- 138 It was time. Her Karmic Debt was gone, and wiping that cult of Angar on their annual ritual hunt had definitely given her enough Karma to do what she wanted to do next. She only regretted that she didn't have time for more then the local Baron to be
- 139 Getting the components together hadn't been as hard as he imagined. After all, there were still shrines to Amana around, as even devotees of Huul wouldn't chase off the Gentle Mother's healers without very, very good reason.Keeping one'
- 140 Hazé spun her Staff in her fingers, looking ahead of her.She was invisible up on a roof, and this town didn't have internal Wards, so she knew she wouldn't be spotted. Her attention was on a girl below.This girl's mother was a greenhag.Hazé
- 141 The sounds of beatings being applied weren't particularly unusual in the training area. Such encouragements motivated the inept and lackadaisical to focus better, and the threat of them kept the motivated more driven.Too, beating the s.h.i.+t out of

- 144 The chatter didn't stop as I walked in, as the ones here were too busy proving their manhood to one another, and didn't notice me, at least at first. Then I walked up on the stage, and that got attention. The conversations started to drop off, h

- 146 Rorn led the men up to a hilltop and paused. Even knowing he was going to see it, he stopped.Below, the foothills suddenly smoothed away into a gra.s.sy plain, dotted here and there by copses of trees. Gouges had been sc.r.a.ped out of the plains, irregul
- 147 "Errant!"Hearing his younger sister Quetzal calling him was unusual. She was rapidly being turned by this d.a.m.n environment and his older sister and brothers into the cold hard b.i.t.c.h typical of the Gilderalz Ducal House, and had started ta
- 148 The Duke took a very deep breath. He was a servant of Huul, he dealt with fiends, and steeled his heart for more dire news. "Yes!" he stated grimly."Your daughter's nanny is a doppelganger, placed to watch over the Hagchild." His

- 150 This girl was a redhead, and literally. Her hair was scarlet, almost the hue of blood, just enough on the unnatural side to be magical. She flaunted it, obviously quite proud of it. It set off her pale, almost milk-white complexion, and the scattering of

- 152 They looked very pretty, that was sure. Some of the women were mounted on unicorns; many other elves on stags, with great curved racks polished with metal. They all had mail on so fine it could be poured in the hand, sometimes with ornate plate in additio
- 153 Scut didn't know quite what to think of Mama at times.Oh, she was a good cook, always cheerful, smelled like old herbs and honey, gave great hugs, and wasn't afraid to cuff him on the head if he was being rebellious.The fact she was blind but al

- 157 "Thrust! Again, again, again! Faster, faster!" Hazé's Staff spun, cracking against the thrusting spear, knocking it aside as fast as it stabbed out.Eyes intense, Verd chased after her, motions eerily fluid and precise, stepping in sharp cad
- 158 Errant brought Grace from nearly his heels overhead and down, hewing through the neck of the Stone Jotun Warlock who he had just hamstring. Black earthen energy spewed out of the wound with the geysers of blood, sparking and flaring against the residual e
- 159 They were big, hairy men, brawny and muscular, with an air of incipient violence hanging around them , ready to boil over. Their armor and weapons showed signs of a lot of use, and they handed them over to the smiths to fix almost reluctantly, as if think

- 165 "So, she is doing well?" Errant confirmed, as the two of them watched the impromptu Shrine to an Elder G.o.d burn both up and down. Half a dozen Mother Vines populated the area, and a Simming Pod was blazing with cerulean fire.Over two hundred P
- 166 The ground exploded in a shower of dark rocks and sand. A sound reminiscent of breaking boulders and protesting steel rang out over the empty land, carrying for miles.Briggs hooked Endure on the corner of its mouth and levered down, dragging his Hammer be
- 167 The expression on his father's face was interesting. Pride, of course, that his son had done such a thing. Unease, at what this might portend, because his father did not think he could do the same. Regret, that he had not paid more attention to this
- 168 The crystal pillars were denser and denser as they closed in on the Rift, battling vermin and Warpbands with equal regularity, taking cover against Chaos Storms that were reduced to mere sand storms in the Corridor. As the Warped died, the Corridor drove
- 169 Riding the Light, Errant naturally made very good time. He also got in a lot of practice dealing with rapid environmental s.h.i.+ftings via dimension-skipping, which dovetailed with the memories of what he'd done back in the game and grounded him in
- 170 "I was found innocent! Innocent!"Errant's fist crashed against the man's jaw, and he slammed to the ground. Deftly, he removed the golden ring and its warding magic on the man's left hand, and as the man whimpered and looked up, h

- 175 "Little Feist." The voice of the hyn was very smooth, rather genderless and hard to describe or remember, while at the same time being quite unforgettable. No one who heard it would fail to recognize it, but trying to describe it was virtually i
- 176 The headquarters of the Order of the Ruby Heart was up on the Third Circle.At one time, he'd been told, it had stood on the Second. But as the power of the Aruan Church had waned, its greatest knightly Order's standing had fallen with it.Part of

- 183 -Sage Sama? We've got a small situation here...-I always encouraged a little healthy understatement as a way of controlling fear. Someone who was screaming about the end of the world wasn't in a state of mind to give a very good report.-Go ahead
- 184 "A message delivery?" Errant's brow furrowed. "You aren't a page, you are a squire. Why was such a simple task given to you?"Estemar's brown eyes flickered with annoyance, that was quickly buried under his discipline. &q
- 185 "Whoooo!" Grym called out, swaying as the Wagon beneath him juked sideways. A tree, whirling end over end in their direction, crashed to the ground and tumbled and rolled right past them as they headed off on an angle, shattered branches flying
