Truth (Kreet 29)
Suddenly Kreet no longer was in the cavern with the Mind Flayer. She was, however, in a cavern. She knew she was far, far away from where she had been. Miles... Years... Decades. She wore armor, and under that she wore a chain mail shirt. She wielded a...
Behold (Kreet 28)
The three proceeded across the blood-stained floor to an open archway. They passed within into utter blackness which only Kreet could lead them through. Karl still carried his small mace, but they had no power left to illuminate it with. For his part,...
Lazy Bastard (Kreet 27)
"But Karl, you must be exhausted. We have no time to rest and replenish our spells either," Kreet protested. "You're right Kreet, I'm done. My power is all but gone. That Blade Wall took all of it. But you have more Kreet. A lot more. I felt it in...
Traps (Kreet 23)
To say they walked stealthily deeper into the caverns would be a lie. The Knight clanged along with all the stealth of a rattling cart and, while the Paladin's armor was of a finer build and lighter alloy, it was no less noisy. They would not have the...
Entrance (Kreet 22)
The morning sun hadn't yet risen when they stopped. "This way," Mekelson guided them as they climbed down off the wagon and tethered the horses. "You've been here before?" Kreet asked as she hopped down, slapping Kevin's hand away again...
Ghosts (Kreet 21)
It was well past midnight when they pulled up to the wood where the shack Kreet had grown up in stood. The path was overgrown, but Kreet had no problem working her way in with her night vision, while she had the others stay behind. She'd never believed...
Vosa (Kreet 20)
"But, I thought he was at the Monastery! Or had started his Apostlate by now anyway," Kreet said as they ran back through the path in the woods. "He left the day after you, Kreet," Karl said, hobbling as best he could along the rough path. "He thought...
Quest (Kreet 19)
In fact, someone did try to mess with her later that night. She'd gone out to dump the dirty, bloody water out when a figure approached from the side of the Tavern. He must have thought he was sneaking up on her, she thought, but Kreet spotted him...
Seeing Red (Kreet 18)
A month later, the promise became moot. Ashley came to her one morning, before the others had risen, with the news that she was not pregnant. Kreet tried to share her relief as best she could, but inwardly she could not. For a month she had seen a...
Adoption (Kreet 17)
In the end, Kreet did manage to improvise a modified version of her plan for the lavatory, and all agreed it was ingenious. Just inside the door she had Nick build a little trough of sorts, which sloped down to a tube made of sheep's bladder, which in...
Wench (Kreet 16)
Kreet settled into her new life at the Wicked Serpent quickly enough. It didn't take her too long to learn most of the drinks and food on the menu, and she had fashioned three identical and quite interesting uniforms for herself as well, using the...
Excommunicated (Kreet 15)
Kreet found herself outside of the Monastery, stripped of her clerical robe, title, and alone. As she walked past the house where Karl and Vosa lived, she thought for a moment that she saw Vosa looking out at her before the window shade was drawn. On...
