Chapter 104
After taking Timber Hall, we spent a day or so taking the rest of Wode Lands before moving on to deal with Saltpans. It didn't take long afterward since most folks surrendered as soon as we arrived at their villages. Of course, besides Timber Hall, Midgeside, and Knightsbridge, there was only on...
Map of the Eastern Mediteranean-278 BC
Here's the closer look at the Eastern Mediteranean, since the big map is a bit fiddly there. It's just an updated version of the old map. Hopefully between this and the big map, you guys can composite a better picture of what the World Looks like in Two-Seventy-Eight BC.The Legend for This M...
Map of the Known World-278 BC
Still not a hundred percent happy with this, but you guys deserve a look at the wider world. I'll do a more zoomed-in map of the Eastern Mediterranean in a separate post so as not to confuse you all with the legend.For this map, the Legend is as Follows:Purple: EpirusLight Purple: Epirote Client...
Scenes From Elsewhere (Minor Powers III)
While victorious in the War against Athens, Sparta and the Aitolian League would have very different situations post-war. The Aitolian League would largely manage to digest Boeotia without much in the way of issues. The Nature of its status as a Federal League of City States did much to soothe any t...
Chapter 62
Captain Henryk Liszka of the Achilles Two-Class Gunboat Pan Tadeuszwatched on as his DropShip took its place in Low Orbit over the fortification lines that were to be his target for this bombardment. There was a small frown on his face as he did so, knowing that such a bombardment went against the A...
Chapter 22
It was as we had made it partway to Seahearth, sailing on the Hammerdown out of Jannathstaad, that we saw the first signs of something gone horribly awry. The wreckage of a ship that had clearly been sunk not too long ago floated like so much driftwood on the waves. Looking at what was left of the ...
Images for Chapter Twenty-One
All right, here we have images for some of the new characters from the last chapter. These guys are all going to come up again in the future. In the case of the Three Thanes, they'll be commanding contingents in the big battles with the Umberlants of Cadfael Island. In the case of Halfdan Whites...
Images for Chapter Sixteen
Here we see images of the three new players as of the last chapter. Erika Nightly and Jessie Nyan, our Heroes latest Allies, along with Takeda Ken, another Tyger Claw Middle Manager. Jessia and Erika are fairly new to the Solo Game, so they could do a lot worse than riding the wave of Big E's Su...
Chapter 16
As we entered Lizzie's, we were met at the door by Punchin' Judy, who seemed anxious. That wasn't like her, from what I knew, and the relief that spread across her face as we entered wasn't like her either."Ernie! Man, am I glad to see you!" Grinned Judy."What's the s...
Chapter 94
What followed was Chizuru relaying the events she'd been granted a vision of by the power of the Yata Mirror. That in and of itself was interesting, as the Yata Mirror, Yasakani Jewel, and Kusanagi Blade were all divine relics carried into battle by the Grandson of Amaterasu, Ninigi-no-Mikoto, a...
Interlude: The Ministry Delegation
Ambrosius Basilikos Black was a Junior Attache to the Goblin Liason Office and had been assigned to the delegation heading to meet with King Ragnuk the Twelfth of the Goblin Nation. Unfortunately for him, Ambrosius Black had neither the reputation nor the authority to gainsay Undersecretary Umbridge...
Chapter 18
The initial landings on Kataki were done by General Yan, Chen, and Gyalpo Pehar and his First Prime, Konchok. In the first six hours of the invasion, they had landed around the Cities of Phrulkhor Sacha, Dug Khang, and Mar Khangpa and begun the attack. The numerous workshops in these three cities pr...
Images for Chapter Nine
This should give some indication of the Ambiance of this last chapter. It's all very Aliens, very sinister. Even the stuff that Rugulo found to help him out, the Plasma Disruptor Pistol, fires a sinister-looking green energy bolt. Hopefully, the eerieness came through in the writing.At any rate,...
Chapter 9
The Interior of the Crashed Khundian Destroyer was a mess. Square Hallways partially filled with rubble and sand were sometimes lit by natural light emanating from holes in the hull and, every once in a while, by the glow of advanced emergency chemical lights whose decades-long lifespans had yet to ...
Images for Chapters Sixteen and Seventeen
All right, here, we see some of the players of the last two chapters. I've been sitting on the image of Pu-Phi-Su for a couple of weeks now. He's going to be important going forward as yet another point of contact with the Tok'ra. The rest I've more or less figured out the prompts fo...
Chapter 61
The First Challenge we faced on landing was the outer fortifications. This network of bunkers, redoubts, trenches, and weapons emplacements formed what was effectively a defensive line, the first of three cutting across the southern edge of the Plain of the Rim Worlds Republic and blocking access to...
Chapter 15
"You want us to come with you to talk Biz with the Mox? Why?" Questioned Jackie as we sat talking in our usual booth in El Coyote Cojo."Because we need to present more than just me if we wanna get the best deal, Jaquito. There's Preem Eddies at stake." I pointed out."Why? I m...
Scenes From Elsewhere (Seleucids III)
With Peace in Istria and Egypt, Antiokos I Asianos could focus once again on expansion elsewhere. His Puppet in the Levant, Meleager, the Great King of Phonecia, was building an all new, heavier Army to go with his Veteran Navy. This, Antiokos would help fund, train, and equip. In Antiokos' Mind...
Chapter 93
The Red Room was a place in the middle of Roppongi, a nightclub set up by the Anjougumi once they'd consolidated after their flight from Shinjuku after the Ichi Slayings Incident forced them out of Shinjuku. The Place was tucked away next to a larger theatre that was showing a double feature, th...
Chapter 103
Timber Hall was a larger town than a place like Midgeside or the Market Town of Knightsbridge that we had needed to take yesterday. Roughly thirteen thousand people lived in its confines along the banks of the Holywater River compared to Midgeside's Seven thousand or Knightsbridge's Ten thou...
Chapter 40
I waited outside the Headmaster's Office as he debriefed Daphne. Dumbledore had taken us straight to his Office using Fawkes' Phoenix-specific version of Apparition. He'd debriefed Harry first, then taken Daphne in, leaving me for last. I sighed as I stood on the landing, rubbing my face...
Chapter 39
As Daphne and I floated down on our brooms, and Harry and Ron climbed down on the Indian Climbing Rope, I grabbed some of my Alchemical Spark Solution from my Mokeskin Pouch and wiped it on my wand while Daphne used one hand to guide her broom down and another to cast Lumos. This revealed that we we...
Chapter 38
The next week went by quickly. Magnus Gamp kept up my sparring, but we took a break from Alchemy and Wandlore to cover Ancient Runes and Arithmancy. Unfortunately, if I wanted to know about constellations, Magnus Gamp said that I could ask Professor Sinistra about them. That was apparently what she ...
Chapter 21
The Great Hall of the Jarl's Fortress of Jannathstaad was full of warriors. Over two hundred warriors, not including Jarl Ullr Finehair and Prince Magnus Ullrsson, or my own group packed the numerous trestle tables that had been set up to fill the hall for the Victory Feast. The noise of this ma...
Chapter 17
Shenwrab Miwo had three worlds to conquer, Kataki, Sa Dong, and Laska. Of them, Kataki was the Capital World. It was there that all his workshops and cities were, along with his Shipyard. The City of Gser Pho Brang on Kataki was the nerve center of Shenwrab Miwo's Domain, centered around his Gol...
Chapter 8
The first wreck I entered was an old one, though the shape of it was familiar. A Tuffle Core Ship from back before the Saiyan-Tuffle War. It looked partly-organic as some Late-War Tuffle technology tended to do. If I remembered what the gestation tank had beamed into my brain about it all correctly,...
Images for Chapter Seven
All right, took me a bit, but I finally got around to adding the images for this story's last chapter. To be honest, getting AI Art Generators to put out half-decent images for this story has been a bitch and a half. I may put a pause on future images if it keeps up.At any rate, I'll have th...
Images for Chapter Fourteen
Here are the images for Chapter Fourteen. Unfortunately, I couldn't get any of the Image Generators to properly spit out something even close to the new armored vests. You're just gonna have to do things the old-fashioned way on that front and use your imagination.At any rate, I'll have ...

Celebrations at El Coyote Cojo lasted well into the night and didn't just involve Jackie, V, and Myself either. Not only did Misty join us after she finished up at Vik's for the day, but we had people coming in and out of the bar to pay their respects. Not just Valentinos Members either, but...
