Taylor and the Twisted Game Part 24

"This is a horrible plan," Dennis muttered under his breath as he studied the death knight sitting on the frost covered throne.

Ziz glanced around the massive audience chamber and focused on the death knight's sword that was giving her an unsettling feeling. "If it doesn't work, I'll pick him up and bash his head agains...

Taylor and the Twisted Game Part 23

Taylor glanced up from the engineering book she was reading when Armsmaster and Dragon walked into the lounge. "How did the run go?"

"Efficient and frustrating," Colin replied as they walked over so they didn't have to talk across the room. "Wings flew up in the sky in Zul'Gurub then grabbed all of the trolls she could ...

Taylor and the Twisted Game Part 22

'I'm going to have to recruit her if we end up keeping our powers,' Emily Piggot mused as she watched Skitter carefully line up a silvery hoop with the other two links on the belt she was working on, demonstrating a resourcefulness with her phasing spell that Shadow Stalker could learn something from.

Taylor let go of t...

Taylor and the Twisted Game Part 21

Amy jumped and nearly screwed up the symbiote gloves she was working on when Skitter started laughing. "What's up?"

"I just found a really nice staff," Skitter replied as she opened a void portal to her puppet and handed herself the staff.

Amy studied the metal staff that was crackling with pink energy. "Define re...

Taylor and the Twisted Game Part 20

"There's something seriously wrong with the designers," Taylor muttered as she read the notes on the quest one of her puppets was working on.

Leet looked up from the book on magical theory that Skitter was letting him read. "What did they do this time?"

"One of the quests in the Blasted Lands involves blasting goa...

Bracelet Hero Part 6

Myst wasn't sure if he was supposed to be annoyed or relieved that only a third of the priests in the area were corrupt as hell or at least guilty of providing support to the corrupt governor, mostly because it would have given him a solid reason to deal with the local branch without worrying about witnesses. He wasn't partic...

Taylor and the Twisted Game Part 19

Amy froze for a second when she finished her latest modification to the 'standard' symbiote shirt and noticed Skitter's grin. "Why do you look like a cat that just caught the canary?"

"Because one of my minions just killed the leader of a group of ogres in Alterac and he dropped a crown that makes you immune to mind con...

Taylor and the Twisted Game part 18

Amy glanced away from the mostly naked blood elf sorceress that Taylor was talking to and looked at the bookshelf that Taylor's black robed minions were looting. "Anything interesting?"

"Not really," one of Taylor's puppets replied in a gravelly voice.

"It's just the guest quarters," another puppet finished the fi...

Bracelet Hero Part 5

"This is your fault!" the merchant screamed as he frantically waved the reins, trying to get his tyrellas to move faster and wishing he hadn't taken the group's silver, mostly because there was something about them that seemed to draw the monsters like moths to a flame.

"Bullshit!" Myst lied as he ducked behind the wood...

Taylor and the Twisted Game Part 17

Despite her earlier goal of making their gear overpowered, Taylor couldn't help feeling like a cheating cheater that cheated when she looked at her insane stats. Even without doing something crazy like piercing her nipples or other parts of her body that shouldn't have holes in them they'd managed to toss together an insane c...

Bracelet Hero Part 4

The priest scowled at Myst and Anna. "Why are you here so late?"

"Because I was hunting monsters and taking care of other business, you know that thing I was summoned for, i.e. being a hero," Myst replied with a touch of sarcasm, not seeing a point in mentioning his shopping trip for tools. "I want to link to the dragon...

Taylor and the Twisted Game Part 16

Sherrel pulled her attention away from the pile of blood elf bodies that Uber and Leet were stripping for loot and looked at Wings. "Now that we've hit level seventy are we going to hit one of the dungeons?"

Ziz turned to look at Taylor. "How long will it take to craft some halfway decent gear?"

Taylor glanced up ...

Bracelet Hero Part 3

Fifteen minutes later found the pair outside of the city killing balloon monsters, mostly Anna but he'd killed his fair share by kicking them as he dusted off his martial arts skills, which left him wondering how anyone could be scared of the little monsters. "We're getting next to nothing for experience, how do you feel abou...

Bracelet Hero Part 2

Myst resisted the urge to do something stupid as he walked into the tent filled with people in cages like animals. 'I'll come back when I get higher level and make sure things improve.'

"Ah, guests and potential customers," a man dressed like a circus ringleader said cheerfully as he stepped out of the shadows.

"W...

Taylor and the Twisted Gamer Part 15

"You're completely, gloriously bullshit, you know that right?" Leet asked with amusement as he looked over his new racial abilities.

"I'm aware," Amy replied with a smirk.

"What did you get?" Ember asked as she dropped the blue silk dress that Skitter handed her on her chest equipment slot, causing it to change in...

Bracelet Hero Part 1

Myst blinked a couple of times when he went from sitting down at his computer to work on his latest chapter to standing in what looked suspiciously like a throne room holding a familiar short sword, except that it had a large jewel in the hilt for some reason. He glanced at the grey haired man sitting on the throne then looke...

Taylor and the Twisted Game Part 14

Taylor grinned as she pulled another book off the shelf in the Scarlet Monastery library and got a point of archeology. "Even if the loot wasn't good, I'd run the place just for the books and the points of archeology."

[It's certainly interesting. I'm going to want to read your copy of Rituals of Power] Admin replied as...

Tayler and the Twisted Game part 13

Taylor frowned as she studied the image of Amelia's arm and the 'empty' room she could see in the mirror. "There's something disturbing about not having a reflection."

"You'd think not having a heartbeat would be more disturbing," Amy mused, slightly annoyed but not particularly surprised that she wasn't able to sense T...

Taylor and the Twisted Game Part 12

Dennis looked up from the notes he was working on as Admin walked into the lounge with four people he didn't recognize, three elves and a human male. "Welcome to the party."

"More like briefing," Emily cut in as she glanced over the group with Admin. "Names?" she asked, not sure what they'd told Admin or Skitter.

Taylor and the Twisted Game Part 11

[Neat!] Shaper squealed as she examined the 'biology' that allowed the four legged animals to surround their hooves with fire and breathe fire.

'And the voices are back,' Taylor mused as she watched Amy pet the large felsteed's neck. "Anything useful?"

Amy grinned as she headed back to where Skitter, Sophia and Ch...

Taylor and the Twisted Game Part 10

Taylor completed her teleport spell and blinked a couple of times when she went from standing just outside of Stormwind on a cliff in the early evening to the middle of a stone room with half a dozen people standing around a couple of braziers chatting. "Huh, not quite what I was expecting."

"Let me guess, you were expe...

Taylor and the Twisted Game Part 9

"We got her!" a rather large, muscular and stupid looking human called out as the girl with blue fox ears and a fluffy blue tail that he was chasing darted into a deadend alley. He scowled when he ran around the corner and realized the fox girl had vanished into thin air. "Fucking rogues, spread out and start swinging, make s...

Replacement Boy That Lived Part 3

"Sleeping in a bed has restored your mana and health to full," the female voice announced.

Myst yawned and looked around the unfamiliar room until he noticed the clock on the hotel room desk. 'Six fifty nine? Automated wakeup and the clock being a touch slow or just issues with sleeping in strange place...

Taylor and the Twisted Game Part 8

Uber tightened his grip on the sword he was in the process of sharpening and stepped forward when the group of twelve ugly ass men that looked like rejects from the Teeth rushed into the room holding nasty looking swords and axes.

"Welcome to hell fuckers, you belong to us!" the leader of the group announced as he rushe...

Taylor and the Twisted Game Part 7

Taylor nearly shot Void in the ass when she suddenly found herself looking at Amy standing in front of the pond in the garden holding a wiggling purple tentacle. It was like she'd used her Eyes of the Beast ability on another pet, giving her two extra windows in her mind instead of one. "What the hell!"

"Skitter?" Amy a...

Taylor and the Twisted Game Part 6

An: Sorry about the late post, the power went out for a day. 

'So much for having money,' Taylor thought as she used the last of her silver to pay for her hunter skills.

"Give me your money," a hunter wearing decent looking leather armor demanded as he pointed his gun at Taylor's face.

Taylor...

Taylor and the Twisted Game Part 5

"Vicky?" Dean blurted when someone in the crowd moved and he saw Vicky walking towards them or at least someone that looked like his girlfriend, if you'd dressed her in a black and red corset and a short black skirt.

Dennis grinned when he recognized the demonic version of Vicky and one of the girls with her as the susp...

Taylor and the Twisted Game Part 4

Amy stared in disbelief as they walked around the bend in the path to what should have led to the Beggar's Haunt and saw Skitter's mansion. "When you said you had a mansion, I was expecting a large house."

"Same," Taylor admitted as she stared at the stone keep that peeked out from behind the stone wall that enclosed a ...

Taylor and the Twisted Game Part 3

Noelle Meinhardt stumbled as she went from logging into the VR game for a bit of escape from her current troubles to stepping out of the portal in Stormwind's wizarding tower. "Weird message…" she trailed off as she realized she could hear the sounds of the city and smell the scent of old books, something the VR headset sho...

Replacement Boy That Lived Part 2

Myst watched his health bar as he finished his burger, wondering if it would actually change now that he'd finished his burger and fries. He waited a couple of seconds then sighed in annoyance when it was obvious that his health wasn't regenerating any faster. 'So much for a cheap way to restore health.' He pulled the two lea...
