The rest of the day passed quickly, and at the end of the night I gave my last wish to one of the Beast Lord Initiates. I got three points of Might, bringing me to an even one hundred sixty. With that out of the way we set out to meet with the others to attend the auction. Lament was coming, along with her partner...

Naturally, the second district didn't have any clues. We searched the whole place and found nothing specific. It was clear that the Devastator wasn't here in the first place, since there were people all over. To my surprise though, as we f...

With one wish remaining for the day, I was still feeling pretty secure as we headed back down to Doomtown. "So." Said Benny as we walked. "Tell me about this place? What did you all do for the last week? I hope this wasn't some excuse for a second vacation, because if I was training my ass off while yo...

On a scale of one to ten, I'd give the ghost rising up through the table a six on my 'what the fuck' meter. Which, honestly, isn't that bad. I've been to magic kingdoms and have a fairy living in part of my soul. I've...

We didn't hear back from Alexander until the next day. Since we had one more after this before the auction I let the Beast Lord Initiates do another full five wishes to preload some more days for later. I'd have to work out some kind of arrangement for after I left. I managed to get the points in Might...

In the end, I decided the best way to find clues about the Devastator and Luxord was to explore the town. Since that was probably going to take a while, I decided to bring Rana along. I figured we hadn't spent much time together since this...

Being back in the Pavilion was like walking out of the heat into a cool familiar house. I hadn't even noticed the shift in tension in Doomtown. Even when I was enjoying myself, I'd had to be actively on the lookout for traps or murder attempts. Up here in G-district where we could relax I was finally a...

As expected, I didn't win, but I did beat Mordaunt. Her glare when it happened was incredibly brief, so quick I almost missed it, but she was definitely pissed. By the time she met up with us though she was all smiles. "Wow, that was an interesting race. Wasn't it Rahm?"
Rahm, who as far as I'd h...

The bond didn't take long to adjust to. By the time the starting horn sounded, just like Abel had said, I was already pretty used to it. Thus, I immediately leaned on it to push the Ralkor into a full on sprint the second we were told to go. Though I couldn't use any active Skills, my passive connectio...

Sadly, being that he was a sadist who lived to torment us, Abel refused to say another word about the Shatter Lanes until the next morning when we were just about to leave.

It didn't take too long to get back up to where the others waited. I noticed Master Saiten had stuck around up at the shore rather than come down.

Lament was not pleased at that big flashy death of the giant spider. "I HAD it." She groused. "I was having fun, and then you had to go be a big showoff." Which to be fair, might have been true, even if that wasn't really the point. While Lament COULD have probably killed the spider, it would have take...

As it turned out, most of the suggestions for a plan amounted to 'group up, and hit it til' it dies'. Callie, even nearly apoplectic with treasure madness, did not approve of anything that sloppy, and visibly forced herself to snap out of her trance to come up with something better.
