37- Fame And Plumage
Vraxious- Kings RoadTorvald had urged Vrax down the road immediately upon reaching the meeting place overlooking the city from the hill. Vrax was concerned but trusted Torvald's judgment. He was half jogging ahead of him, pushing the armored box at an unhealthy speed. It hissed and growled at ev...
36- What Now?
Vraxious- Hopes PathVrax and Torvald had spent a few hours carousing with Torvald's parents before heading out from the arena and back to the Adventurers Guild. Stereos had bid them farewell and promised to seek them out for a few quests or another fight together once he was done with his resear...
35- Not A Druid!
Vraxious- Hopes PathOchal stumbled for a moment, reeling from whatever the stigmata garden drain had done to him inside his armor. Vrax couldn’t see the damage, but he recovered quickly, heaving a glass-like blue-black barrier wall between him and the adapted plants just as tendrils and a dozen re...

34- Poor Defenseless Druid
Vraxious- Hopes PathVrax was quickly fashioning a symbol of the cycle for Stereos to wear during their upcoming fight. They were sitting in a small prep room set beside the arena floor itself and could see the battle raging just past the observation window. A grand melee between a full party of adve...
33- Old friends New enemies
Vraxious- Hopes PathVrax peered around the Dragons Maw arena walls; the side he and Torvald were on wrapped fully around the adventurers entrance side with clear glass. Across the way, the nobles had what must have been one-way glass obscuring them. Immediately away from the arena windows and to his...
What parts of paladin do you like most?
I want to see if people have preference for what we focus on in the story going forward or if the current mix is a good balance.
32- Can We Keep It?
Vraxious- Hopes PathVrax ignored Torvalds concerned voice, his eyes locked with the malevolent entity shifting almost imperceptibly within the cage. A savagely fanged maw opened wide with a yawn, revealing an inner mouth and a third even deeper beneath in the beast's throat, rows of triangular s...
31- Vrax Please Don't
Vraxious- Hopes PathVrax and Torvald had spent a well-earned night of rest at the inn, Torvald sleeping like a giant’s baby, snores tormenting everyone in the building as they rattled through the walls. Vrax had fitfully slept in a corner with his cloak and a spare blanket, jealously eyeing Torval...

30- Sanctuaries Of Blood And Life
Vraxious- Crucible HamletVrax and Torvald wearily stuffed themselves back into their inn room. Torvald sat down with a happy sigh, his bed creaking under his weight. Vrax just sighed at his broken, melted bed and sat down at the small chair in front of the shared table. First things first, I need to...
29-Godsbane
Arthur Decius- Whispering GrottoArthur had been unceremoniously paired off with some other initiates, forming an impromptu squad. The towering twins Salamin and Solomin, their imposing statures and golden locks matched by their tower shields and generously donated familial armor. Arthur still wore t...
28- Arsenal of Horror
Vraxious- Whispering Grotto DungeonThe flickering speckles of green luminescence drifted aimlessly above and around Vrax for just a moment longer. Creating an eerie contrast to the slavering horde rushing towards him. Then, just as the goblins entered the light cast by the acidic lurkers, the dandel...
27- Gather The Horde
Vraxious- Whispering Grotto DungeonVrax and Torvald had spent the next hour creeping farther into the dungeon, absolutely ruining the few small packs of goblins they had stumbled on. One pack died unceremoniously to just the Acidic Lurkers when Vrax dropped into the middle of them and summoned both ...
26- Loot and Horrors
Arthur Decius- Crucible HamletAfter a long and arduous journey, the procession of paladin initiates finally made it to the shabby little town sitting dangerously close to the maw of the malevolent entity known as the Whispering Grotto. From what Arthur had been told, they would form into squads of f...
25-Testing The Daisy
Vraxious- Whispering Grotto DungeonVrax slid to the entrance of the rock formation while the jar was still making its lazy descent towards the urinating goblin. The daisy jar shattered against the ground just past the feet of the goblin, stopping the low chatter of the monsters milling about. All ni...
24- Dungeon Bets
Vraxious – Whispering Grotto DungeonVrax stood beneath a sign stretching over the road in cheerful yellow lettering. It read, “Welcome to The Whispering Grotto.” He looked around, shading his eyes from the midday sun. The stark blue stone staircase leading down into the dungeon sat before them...
23- Torvald Loves It Here
Vraxious- Hopes Path- Dungeon outskirtsVrax and Torvold had grabbed lunch in the guild tavern; it was horribly overpriced, but both of them were too busy enjoying the new sights and sounds and trying to eavesdrop. After that, they had headed straight out of the city to make sure they reached the tin...
22- Official Adventurers
Vraxious- Hopes Path- Adventurers GuildThe foyer Loomed in front of Vrax like a scene from his favorite tales as a child. Storied wooden floors layered with grime and blood over the decades that no matter how much one scrubbed, stains remained. A barely separate tavern filled with heavily armored me...
21- The Prank Went Too Far
Vraxious- Kings RoadVrax smiled wickedly into the campfire. He held the daisy between his hands, the fire dancing off his eyes, the perfect likeness to many a mad mage as he focused on his creation. Tovald slumbered loudly next to him, unaware of the abomination Vrax had wrought during his watch.The...
20- Baths And Levels
Vraxious- Kings Road- Bertrand’s Respite InnVrax let the steaming bathwater lull him into relaxation; he even sprinkled a bit of herbs into the water, filling the room with the scent of spiced fruit. A welcome and stark contrast from whatever horrors were leaking from Torvald's general directi...
19- Just A Sip
Vraxious -Kings RoadAfter cleaning up the Shrikers and giving the poor family a shallow burial. Vrax and Torvald had spent an uneasy night camping a few hundred strides on the other side of the road. Torvald was wearing the magic ring to help speed his healing; he would be mostly patched up by the m...
18-Tag Team
Vraxious- Kings RoadVrax and Torvald had made good time the first day trekking across the well-worn, pitted road. Neither he nor Torvald had the spare funds to buy or care for a horse, a rather extravagant expense for most people. Hopefully further down the line in their adventurer careers, but for ...
17- Bad Ideas
Vraxious- Hopes EndVrax’s eyelids fluttered in confusion; something was deeply wrong. He felt like he had been run over by a herd of Mynochs. He shifted slightly; it was blindingly bright, and his body was halfway in something uncomfortable that was digging into the side of his face. He kept still...
16- The Big Reveal
Vraxious- Hopes EndVrax made it halfway out his door before he was once again intercepted by his father. He leaned on Vrax’s shoulder for support as he walked down the hallway with his boy. William had deep, weathered lines across his skin, always drawn back in a smile. Like he had just thought of...
15- Levels and Luck
Vraxious- Hopes EndVrax had camped for the night in the cozy tower overlooking the fort. Luckily Feldwin was nowhere to be seen, so he had laid claim to the extravagant downy bed. He also left a little surprise for Feldwin when he came back. Vrax's mana had been completely topped off when he mad...
14- I Forgot The bet
Vraxious- Forsaken LandsVrax looked at the hole in his palm with a pained cringe. He trudged away from the river in the rough direction of town, making sure to skirt the Crystalline Forest. His smite had staunched the bleeding mostly, but it still hurt like hell. He downed a good gulp of a potion an...
13-Deadly Experimentation
Vraxious- Forsaken LandsHe looked over the spear he had extracted from the corpse of the resplendent golden warrior. It was so simple and yet not at the same time. A mostly straight wooden branch there wasn’t even a metal spear tip; it simply grew to a spiraling point. And the way it almost seemed...
12- Wrath Of The Grove
Vraxious-[System Sanctuary]Vrax’s perspective once again settled into a god’s-eye view of the cloaked man. He wondered what the skill would be this time. The man knelt in a forest glade teeming with life; his hand gently stroked some kind of wolf-like being that towered next to him. It rounded o...
