Abyssal Road Trip - 319 - Some sin for nothing
Amdirlain’s PoV - Material Plane - Quil TrisWhen Pal’tran and Jal’krin returned loaded with drinks and food, they found Amdirlain still reviewing the contract options with Jan’era. Throughout the discussion, Amdirlain followed the threads in Jan’era’s thoughts. They were a flurry of ment...

Amdirlain’s PoV - Material Plane - Quil TrisWith Jal’krin starting to stir, Amdirlain used the washroom and changed into clothes she’d made a few days prior. The bright green summer dress swirled around her knees as she tested her legs' responses swaying before the stove filling pans with ...
Abyssal Road Trip - 317 - Burning alive
Amdirlain’s PoV - Material Plane - Qil TrisKadaklan’s gaze twinkled in amusement, but Amdirlain had had enough of the games.“I know there is a lot you’d like to know about me, but really I’m just not going to share it unless it's needed. So please ask questions directly related to rest...
A possible Catfolk form for Amdirlain.
Ravenshard posted this on Discord, but I'm aware not everyone looks at it.While Amdirlain's blue fur is darker, and it's a different instrument., I've got this as my mental image presently for Amdirlain's Catfolk appearance
Abyssal Road Trip - 316 - Caught with your pants down.
Amdirlain’s PoV - Material Plane - Quil TrisTrue Song shifted Amdirlain’s body into an incorporeal state similar to the spectres she’d seen. It was also a condition that put her uncomfortably close to the warped dimensional shift the Eldritch attack had caused. In it, Amdirlain could see the i...
Abyssal Road Trip - 315 - Baptism by Fire
Amdirlain’s PoV - Material Plane - Quil TrisDinner had proved easy to prepare between them, and afterwards, a still emotionally exhausted Jal’krin had gone to bed early. Once he fell into a deep slumber, Amdirlain set up the crystal to project an illusion of her sleeping on the living room bench...

Amdirlain’s PoV - Material Plane - Quil TrisAmdirlain polished off the roast before she headed off. Though she intended to pick some things up, it wasn’t from any store. Out among the alleyways, new concealments wrapped around her, cloaking her auras, and blocking her presence to sight, hearing,...

Amdirlain’s PoV - Material Plane - Quil TrisAmdirlain paid, left the cafe, and caught the waiting observers slip in among those who fixated on her flowing steps.

Abyssal Road Trip - 311 - Whispers in the mist
Amdirlain’s PoV - Material Plane - Quil TrisWrapping herself in more concealments, Teleport placed her near the wooded edge of the first estate. Searching for distortions wasn’t a problem as she immediately heard the fractured notes within the main building. The owners had laid out four hexagona...

Amdirlain’s PoV - Material Plane - Qil TrisThough the cashier at the steps tried to talk Amdirlain into a more expensive option, she took the cheapest ticket for the next trip and headed up.

Abyssal Road Trip - 307 - Used to know me
Amdirlain’s PoV - OutlandsAmdirlain paused with her mind outstretched to turn the time-lapse image of Quil Tris. The city's ruins sat far from other occupied lands, cracked stonework peeking up beneath the layers of snow. The surveyor's perspective had drawn Amdirlain’s attention to the ...

Zosime is looking thoughtful when we get back. “I didn’t realise how tight things were getting on the farms. It was nice of you to feed that family, not just the work crew.”“I prefer to be nice, but have I been too nice?” I ask.A glum smile appears on Phile’s face. “You made the nobles...
Abyssal Road Trip - 306 - One Step Closer
Amdirlain’s PoV - OutlandsThough Amdirlain was pretty sure what would happen, she opened a Gate to Qil Tris and faced a nighttime scene. The view was of a snow-covered hillside with weather-worn boulders and trees covered in long, needle-like leaves. Though she could hear the landscape’s music, ...
Abyssal Road Trip - 305 - Light it up
Amdirlain’s PoV - OutlandsThe Gate opened to the edge of the flattened forest, and the distortion caused the fine hairs on the back of Amdirlain’s neck to lift.With an eager laugh, Mars jumped through, his pilum already ready to throw. “I’ve only heard of these! World maggot, come up and fig...

Ipy joins the seven teenagers to form them up in lines of four, and a steady cadence of blades clicking against each other soon fills the air.“Stick to the pace,” Ipy critiques when one gets adventurous and picks up the rhythm. “You need your muscles to get used to the attacks and counters.”...
Abyssal Road Trip - 304 - The key, the secret
Amdirlain’s PoV - OutlandsOpening a scrying window to the coordinates of the key storage, Amdirlain saw an irregular corridor that curved out of sight. The walls appeared rough-hewn but of the same light grey stone as the Spire. Turning the window’s focus, she found the entrance from the Outland...

After getting a few kilometres beyond Cendëróme’s northernmost scouts, I shift directly back to Sanctuary’s foyer. Within the hall, Sarah has stretched out on the dance floor in a restrained version of her Dragon form, giving Ellother and an elderly Human male a chance to examine her scales. A...

Amdirlain’s PoV - Outlands - XaosWhen Amdirlain arrived at Xaos, she appeared beside a teenage Ratkin with honey-hued fur.

Nanoĸ, Nikias, and Myrto are heading out the door when Phile comes over and sits beside me. Bumping her knee against mine, Phile holds out a hand and, when I clasp it, she gives me a relieved smile I gladly echo. A knot of tension eases from my stomach, with her not opting to create a distance.“Y...
Abyssal Road Trip - 299 - Side Effects
Amdirlain’s PoV - Outlands - PrisonAmdirlain sat outside the cells and procrastinated by considering the visit with Phrinhralith’s grandparents. The lengthy protocols of the dragons of Vrantvrak had consumed hours of back and forth; their displays of overflowing reverence throughout had made it ...

After rejecting my advances, it’s an hour of inscribing before Gaius pauses. “I’m surprised you’re not asking what the runes do.”Shifting my focus from the Mana he’d left in the rune, I snort. “It’s all Draconic; I’m focusing on where you inject the Mana.”“These are Artificer r...
