Senna sensed she wasn’t actually getting all that much accomplished, but as always, there was the adrenaline rush of being in the thick of things. She’d finished her last swing and hopped back onto another of the little floating islands when something overhead caught her attention. Someone was doing...

All things considered, she was doing a lousy job as a backup, and not much better on offense. It was perhaps because of that that Senna was caught flat-footed when the creature targeted her with its next spell. And it couldn’t be a little level-one spell that she could weather, heal and move on. No,...

While Mama didn’t have the numbers that her children had forced on the battling group, she did seem to have the same basic grasp of strategy – that is, once you have a strategy, go with it. And to that end, the group was actually having a far easier time with the first phase of this monster than mig...

Senna was about set to get back into battle full-on – these accursed things were getting to be a bigger and bigger pain – but having come once more to the wall, she realized she was not sure such would be possible. There seemed to be something wrong with the controls. Her character was reacting slug...

Senna was getting desperate, a state she hated but fell into a lot more often than she would have people believe. She’d worked her way to one of the walls, fighting off the creatures as best she could, but a single swipe of her spear was not enough to kill them, and so the injured ones disappeared i...

As one of the newcomers pulled off an impressive display that finally put to rest the entire pack of dragonlings, there fell an almost unnatural stillness over the field. The ground was littered with broken egg shells, crushed into powder in some cases by the traffic and the ferocity of the fighting...

May or may not be around through Sunday. Visiting my parents up in NY.

There was never going to be an end to them. It was as simple as that. Unable to see the scope of the room, keeping herself to her little area and doing her best to let nothing get past her without bringing it down, Senna had no way to know that they weren’t just being renewed every so often, a never...

Senna had given up trying to keep track of how the battle was going. There was too much at once, a sensory overload that drove back her attention at all turns. Spells were going off here and there, the voices of the rest of the group could sometimes be made out intoning attacks or shouting to one an...

Senna hadn’t thought she was particularly on edge. Hyped up for battle, a little tired of waiting around, sure, but not edgy. Not until the unexpected voice came from far closer than she expected to hear. She nearly jumped at the sound. It was one of the first two who’d appeared in the central room ...

The fact that Dien seemed to misunderstand her question was not particularly troubling to Senna, and as the conversation continued, she made no attempt to rectify his thoughts. It happened often enough that she was used to the slight twinge that such things set off in her mind and paid it no heed. S...

As her own part of this finished, Senna noted with surprise that Dien was dead. A quick resurrect took care of that. (She was surprised to note she was not as far down on them as she’d previously thought – a good realization, that) Zan and Nall in turn faced off against remaining orbs, their skills ...

Getting harder? Yes, these rooms were definitely getting harder. Here it wasn’t so much the difficulty of defeating the monsters themselves – in this case, the glass and metal orbs – but the insidiousness of the setup itself. Destroying any one orb would cause the others to come after you, and once ...

Well, she’d thought it seemed a lot easier in this room than the others and she was right, at first, thanks to Dien. That changed pretty quickly, however, as the dormant orbs decided to make a complete turnaround, abandoning the previous defensive strategy of zapping the crap out of anything that di...

While she’d trusted Dien’s suggestion, it would be a lie to say Senna wasn’t surprised by not getting electrocuted as she targeted one, then another and another of the orbs. There was a hollow “clink” form each as it was struck, the timbre of the first different from the other two due to its differe...
