Blake gawked at the beautiful blonde along with everyone else. She had apparently just wandered up to the front of the town gates dressed like a sexy park ranger, hourglass figure revealed and soaked to the bone. She looked like Jane who’d lost her Tarzan.
“Um, hello?” she called with some kind of European accent, arms crossed in front of her ample chest.
The gate guards nearl...
2023-07-18 18:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostThe nymphs yet again worked to suck half the moisture from his body, and Mason lay back half conscious. Time passed without thought, then he was spurting another round of cum without even knowing whose warm mouth was taking it.
“Thank you for your seed, druid. Again.” Thea giggled. “The magic of the pool will do you good.”
Thea gave him water and fed him grapes and some kind...
2023-07-18 14:00:05 +0000 UTC View PostAfter learning he was a druid, the demeanor of the women had changed entirely. No more were they hungry-eyed predators that had taken as they desired. Now they waited as if for command, still staring down, still on their knees. Thea remained entirely naked, her hands held awkwardly over her small tuft of pubic hair. Calypsa still wore half her bark-like armor below the waist, waiting more like ...
2023-07-17 18:00:59 +0000 UTC View PostMason nearly stumbled to his knees, disoriented as the world went black, then filled with dull green and blue light.

Mason took his ‘captive’ down to the beach, fighting the adrenaline and anger from his limbs as Haley put her clothes back on.
“Who are you?” Mason snarled. “And why did you intend to attack us?”
“My name is Kiaan, currently a scout for a nearby settlement, and its patron. Those men were part of a regular raiding pattern in...
2023-07-16 15:36:53 +0000 UTC View PostKiaan lay flat with the raiders from Nassau, watching the couple on the beach. Chief Sebastian had them on territory defense and civilian capture, and Kiaan was their civilian scout. He was, in fact, the only proper scout Nassau had, and his lucrative contract reflected that. But he didn’t much like his employers.
“Tier one,” he whispered to Chang, the raid leader. “...
2023-07-15 15:50:03 +0000 UTC View Post“Bow. Now.”
Mason stared down the over-sized wolf as it crept forward like a cat about to pounce. Haley pulled his weapon from storage, then started trying to climb the nearest tree.
“Bad idea,” Mason whispered to the animal, raising his bow and drawing it enough to create an arrow. “Live or die,” he said. “Time to decide.”
A twig snapped behind him. He s...
2023-07-14 14:22:57 +0000 UTC View PostExactly a day after they’d put him in the cage, Garet the spearman came out and opened the gate.
“I hope you’ve got something,” he said as he escorted Blake outside. “Chief’s in a bad mood today.”
Blake sighed. “Not as bad as he seems, eh?”
Garet frowned and gestured up the hill. It was a long walk, and Blake’s heart increased at the possibility of the some...
2023-07-13 21:44:03 +0000 UTC View PostBlake made the rounds, talking to every civilian and learning as many details as he could. He wasn’t a particularly good listener—though others often thought so. He was more like an…extractor. Of information. Of personality. He was mostly just curious, and didn’t care about these people’s lives. Unless they were interesting, of course. Which they mostly weren’t.

2023-07-13 21:39:17 +0000 UTC View PostMason and Haley moved slowly in the dark as Mason looked for a decent tree to sleep in. Haley was quiet, and walked a little ways away from him, which he didn’t like but didn’t try to stop. The moon wasn’t that bright, however, and after Haley tripped once or twice Mason finally crossed the distance and took her hand. They walked in silence for a little while.
“Did it bother you? ...
2023-07-12 15:03:52 +0000 UTC View PostMason let Haley rest her legs every three hours. He rose up and cracked his back and drank from their flasks, letting his heart rate lower and his legs regenerate the pain. Then he picked up his ‘assistant’, and ran on. The forest changed little. He saw more clearings, a beaver dam blocking a small stream, and cluster of ant or termite mounds he did his best to avoid. Lots of interesting th...
2023-07-11 15:07:43 +0000 UTC View PostThe campfire players fought briefly. They fought valiantly. And then they died. Most fell to arrows and the flaming orbs. But two others left the trees with swords and soon butchered the last, wounded stragglers. Blake kept entirely still.
“Mikkel, I gotta tell ya, those fireballs are getting badass.”
The attackers were laughing now, joking amongst themselves. Blake listened car...

Blake rose with the sun and renewed purpose. Mason was alive. They’d find each other soon enough, he was sure of it, and then they’d take the world by the balls.
“Come on, underlings,...
2023-07-09 17:50:37 +0000 UTC View PostMason slept like the dead. He blinked awake several hours later, a kind of panic setting in when he realized he had no watch, no safety, nothing protecting them of any kind. He’d even left a God damn fire going.
He practically leapt out of the bedroll before stalking the perimeter, finally dropping a triangle of traps around their camp as he stared out into the silent maze of trees. App...
2023-07-09 17:38:23 +0000 UTC View PostMason took Haley’s hand and stepped out of the dungeon. The same, strange, disorienting effect seized him, then he was back standing in the same forest he’d left. Afternoon light flickered through the foliage, and a gentle breeze blew through the trees. Mason let go of Haley and summoned his Claw when he saw two gnolls just ahead.
“Oh God,” Haley clung to his back. But the gnolls ...
2023-07-09 17:15:07 +0000 UTC View Post“Wait, wait! I’m not ready. I need a minute.”
Haley started panicking as Mason tied his vine on the railing and said they’d be climbing down.
“My brother’s out there,” he said more harshly than he intended. “And he needs me. So either I tie this to you and lower you down, or you climb down. Go ahead and decide.”
Haley’s ample chest was rising and falling wi...
2023-07-09 17:11:04 +0000 UTC View Post“Are we lost? I feel lost.”
Blake turned in a circle, looking out at the forest, the beach, and the sea, seeing no difference between where they were now and when they’d started walking two days before.
“We started lost,” Hank said. “But we’re still covering new ground, so there’s that.”
Blake sighed, his stomach rumbling and his feet approaching numb. He sur...

Mason heard the click click click as the giant gnoll’s lost their shackles. He tossed a snare trap in the exact spot he’d scouted while waiting, throwing it at full sprint as he hit the ramp. His legs burned as he pumped, grabbing the handrails to propel himself as fast as possible. The light-bathed bow practicall...
2023-07-09 17:08:47 +0000 UTC View Post“Come on. Just a little closer.”
Mason pressed himself flat against the wall with his bow ready. A group of elite gnolls wandered the corridors in a mostly predictable pattern, but three seemed to range with slight randomness in their patrol. Mason had placed his traps carefully along the walls, starting with about three more steps from this annoyingly cautious, stupid son of a…...
2023-07-08 20:43:52 +0000 UTC View PostIt smelled almost like an electrical fire back at the pool. Mason snuck along the wall in confusion, looking up to see the robed creature was gone from the platform. Then he turned and saw a blue light beyond the pool. It flew in a blink, straight across the water, directly at Mason.
He threw himself back as it struck.

2023-07-07 23:55:28 +0000 UTC View PostMason crept through the next doorway, peeking out to see a bubbling river of dark water. It ended in a kind of beaver-like dam, a pool of murky water under several platforms that looked like dwellings. Or maybe prisons. He flinched as he realized gnolls waited on each platform-the first much like the creature Mason had killed, a taller, thicker cousin of the tar-clawed gnoll guards. Above him w...
2023-07-06 04:19:59 +0000 UTC View PostMason snuck through the densest section of the gnoll infested trees, bow strung but hanging around his neck, Ranger’s Claw and goblin dagger in his hands. He was still covered in mud and gnoll blood from head to toes, as it seemed to help mask his presence. He’d been searching for anything unusual, eventually tracking a trio of gnolls who seemed almost uninterested in the battle at the clea...
2023-07-06 04:18:14 +0000 UTC View PostOne by one the others appeared in the same general spot they’d all arrived at the first time. Mona practically sagged with relief, and the mixed group looked around the beach with variously confused expressions.
“How did we all get here?” Hank squinted and stared out at the water.
“What’s the last thing you remember?” Blake asked without expression.
