I wanted to take a moment to send this message out so everyone who is not a member on Discord can be aware of my current situation.
For those who do not know, I am a Live-in caretaker for two physically disabled women in their 60's. Both of whom are on medication that somewhat compromises their immune systems making the current global crisis a real danger to both of them.

2020-05-23 20:19:44 +0000 UTC View PostThomas, Snowlily, and Fokgrag sat around the table eating their meals. Judging by the bright smile and shining eyes of Snowlily, it was clear that the meal was pretty tasty. Thomas thought the Rockgoat meat was a bit tough to chew but made up for it with the flavor. He didn't have a clue what spices the dwarven cook had used but they greatly enhanced the flavor of the meat and made it delicious...
2020-05-18 04:36:56 +0000 UTC View PostAfter guard Smeltfury left to retrieve Fokgrag from the jails, Thomas and the Magister remained silent. It wasn't awkward or uncomfortable, they were just both waiting for the guard to return so they could finish their business. They didn't have to wait for very long, in less than ten minutes Smeltfury arrived with another dwarf in tow. Thomas could only assume it was Fokgrag.
Fokgrag was...
2020-05-15 00:39:33 +0000 UTC View PostFinding the jails was actually a little difficult, even with directions. Instead of a large building with thick walls, the entrance to the jail was a pair of inconspicuous doors carved right into the mountain. Honestly, it was pretty clever. Instead of having to worry about if the walls were thick enough, the dwarves just put the jail right inside of the mountain and let the mountain itself bec...
2020-05-11 03:18:21 +0000 UTC View PostThe following morning, Thomas and Snowlily, in her human form, joined the other women at a dining table and ordered breakfast. As they were eating Thomas spoke up, "I'll be heading out to look for Master Coalheart after this. I probably won't be back until later tonight."
The four women sighed and nodded their heads. The group enjoyed their breakfast. Thomas left with Snowlily when they w...
2020-05-09 01:58:42 +0000 UTC View PostThomas waited until he was about an hour into his two-hour shift on guard duty to make sure everyone was deep asleep. Once he was certain of it, he pulled out the amulet he'd been given that contained the materials for the sword he'd been requested to make. He focused on the amulet itself to get a reading on it with his 'All Seeing Eyes'.
Item Type: Storage Amulet &...
2020-05-06 20:53:10 +0000 UTC View PostThomas left the rest of the group standing in the middle of the road as he made his way into the forest with Snowlily. Once they were far enough away he retrieved some of her clothing from his inventory and constructed a small wooden hut for her to change inside of using his Wood magic. Thanks to diving into the dungeon and messing with most of his elements, he'd become a lot more proficient in...
2020-05-02 20:35:51 +0000 UTC View PostFar to the Northeast of Breidset, deep underground, in a place of perpetual darkness, a middle-aged man was kneeling on the ground in front of a gigantic throne. He was a decent looking man with silvery hair and a well-trimmed goatee, though his most prominent feature would have to be the pair of wings protruding from his back. Wings that appeared to be made of pulsing energy that started out b...

Bartan ran through the forest as fast as he could, his black cloak fluttering in the wind behind him. He kept glancing over his shoulder to make sure the monster he'd just faced wasn't pursuing him. Fear was all he felt at the imminent death that the monster represented. He had no idea what that metal thing the monster had held was, but it had killed Regg in a single ...
2020-04-29 18:47:17 +0000 UTC View PostAs they walked down the stairs, Thomas had to admit he was a little curious about the mana crystal Selena wanted. Only a little though. He didn't really know what it was exactly so he wasn't plagued with ideas on how to use it. As they stepped into the safe room on the fortieth floor, they sat down to take a break. Selena was still bleeding slightly from the wound the Faerie boss gave her. Stil...
2020-04-26 18:34:30 +0000 UTC View PostWhen he was finished looking over the plans for the sword, Thomas stuck them back into his inventory. After the group finished recovering they continued looking for the fortieth floor while slaughtering their way through the Great Apes. Thomas stayed in the back and focused on increasing the rank of his different elements. He also spent a bit of time trying to think of new elements he could lea...
2020-04-22 20:52:04 +0000 UTC View PostAfter a few more hours of effort, the party finally found the stairs leading down to the thirty-ninth floor of the dungeon. The moment they arrived within the saferoom, they all teleported to the surface. Night had already fallen thanks to how long it took them to get out. Everyone was exhausted from the effort they had to put in to get out of there so they stayed silent as they made their way ...
2020-04-19 00:27:56 +0000 UTC View PostFinished with testing The Destroyer, Thomas and Snowlily started making their way to the city. While they were walking, Snowlily sniffed the air and frowned, "Someone else is coming now."
Thomas came to a stop and set his hands on his weapons. The pair waited silently until a man wearing a familiar-looking black hooded cloak appeared. Thomas immediately drew his katana and started channel...
2020-04-15 23:56:53 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Thomas woke up the following morning, he sighed. He'd been enjoying his chat with Snowlily so much that he'd forgotten to do two important things. He hadn't spent his experience or increased the size of his inventory. He checked his character sheet and sighed, he'd earned nearly four-hundred and fifty thousand experience and hadn't spent a single drop of it. If he did now, he'd end up too ...
2020-04-12 20:42:01 +0000 UTC View PostWith the whole group gathered, they moved to the dungeon and teleported down so they could continue where they left off. Once inside of the dungeon, Thomas took the time to get into his armor and set his katana at his waist. He kept forgetting to stop in the alchemy store and pick up the supplies he needed to color his gear. The poor katana was still in a plain wood sheath. He could also add hi...
2020-04-10 03:38:56 +0000 UTC View PostThomas looked over the experience he had available to spend and couldn't help the grin that crept up on his face. In just two days he had earned almost as much experience as he had during his entire time playing within AoG. He had a total of one point six million experience to spend. Comparing his growth to the growth of Snowlily was like night and day. She'd gained quite a lot as well, but onl...
2020-04-06 18:53:08 +0000 UTC View PostThe entire group stepped into the boss room with Thomas taking the lead. As the door to the room closed, torches lining the wall all ignited and provided light. Standing in the center of the room and surrounded by pillars was a monster standing at around four meters tall. The giant had rough crag-like dark earth-brown skin covering over-sized impractical looking muscles. It wore nothing but a l...
2020-04-02 21:00:32 +0000 UTC View PostAfter reading the description of Snowliy's new collar, Thomas smiled and carried it over to her, "This is just a little something for you to use until I can make proper equipment for you. I hope you like it."
Snowlily looked curiously at the collar being held in Thomas's hands. She didn't know a lot about magic items but just seeing the black leather studded with practically glowing 'gems...
2020-03-31 21:35:36 +0000 UTC View PostThomas held the sword for a bit longer before setting it down gently on the work table. He looked over the beautiful weapon for a bit to admire his hard work. It wasn't his most artistic piece ever but it still had a deadly beauty to it. Still, it wasn't finished yet and it would become more beautiful with the touches he planned to add to it. He started by removing some Mithril from the same in...
2020-03-22 05:38:25 +0000 UTC View PostAfter lunch with Snowlily, Thomas returned to his work. He heated the blade up one final time and did some additional work with his hammer to get it into better shape. Once he was satisfied with the work, he set the blade on the nearby anvil and left it to cool in the air. While it cooled, he looked through his inventory for materials he could use in the construction of the handle. During his s...
2020-03-21 05:11:03 +0000 UTC View PostWhen Thomas woke up the next morning he made a decision. Today would be his last day of crafting. He'd made all of his armor and his new rifle. He didn't have nearly enough ammunition but at the same time, he didn't want to spend the next few days just making bullets for a rifle he couldn't even use yet. He could always make more bullets for it later. Hell, he might even be able to make them mu...
2020-03-20 02:59:10 +0000 UTC View PostWith the rifle completed, he moved onto making some ammunition for it. He planned to spend the rest of the day making ammo for it and work on his new sword tomorrow. Even if the new rifle was useless for the moment, it wouldn't be long before he had the chance to test it out. Though he would need to head out of the city, just to be safe. With the plan set, for the time being, he focused on maki...
2020-03-19 06:54:37 +0000 UTC View PostThomas disassembled the rifle and laid out the various parts to check them over for any signs that something was off or didn't fit right. He did so by looking for any signs of minute damage using his 'All Seeing Eyes' to zoom in as closely on the items as he could. There were only some minor scratches from metal sliding against metal, nothing too deep or dangerous looking. Once he greased up th...
2020-03-17 02:40:55 +0000 UTC View PostAs Thomas worked on his new rifle, the people working at or visiting the inn didn't pay too much attention to him at first. Seeing someone sitting around poking the air in front of them with their finger was not an unusual sight. Every individual within AoG, players and NPCs alike, had access to the system and could grow stronger. Most simply chose not to. They were all aware of what someone to...
2020-03-14 01:28:21 +0000 UTC View PostDarren climbed out of his gaming pod and stretched with a soft groan. He'd logged out immediately after having dinner with the women so he could get some stuff done. He took care of his usual routine upon logging out, including a run down to the gym to get a bit of a workout in. Once he was settled, he sat in front of his terminal and went to the official AoG website to check out the details on...
2020-03-11 02:52:35 +0000 UTC View PostWalking through the streets of the city with Snowlily at his side, Thomas made the occasional stop to purchase food that smelled good or drinks that looked tasty. It was a habit he had formed to purchase street food whenever he was walking from place to place. It was always nice to have a warm tasty snack just sitting inside of his inventory waiting to be eaten. Bonus, Snowlily appreciated it t...
2020-03-09 02:24:04 +0000 UTC View PostWith the metal work done for the moment, he proceeded to pull out some more of the Black Tar Boa skin to use for the leather of the armor. The boa didn't seem to be all that rare and was readily available for a decent price. Thomas chose it for its durability and comfort, the smooth skin-like scales also gave the skin an appealing look. Along with the boa skin, he retrieved some tailoring plans...
2020-03-07 22:42:00 +0000 UTC View PostAfter breakfast with the whole group, Thomas and Snowlily returned to the workshop. There were just three more pieces of armor that needed to be created to protect himself. Once they were complete he would log out for a bit to post a message on the private forum to see if he could find someone with Holy magic nearby as well as do a little research. He wanted to brush up on a few things before m...
2020-03-05 22:29:03 +0000 UTC View PostMaking the second greave went the same as making the first. Much like the pauldrons he tried his best to make them look identical, a matching pair. After finishing the preparations the last step was to enchant the item. It took the remainder of the purified Alchemist's Oil. He decided that after the greaves were done he'd spend the rest of the day just making more of the purified oil so he woul...
