Winds of Vesperia

As we find ourselves barrelling towards end-game, Our Heroes (tm) are faced with enemies old and new, betrayals, unlikely allies, and plot twists! (So... many... plot twists...)

Winds of Vesperia - The Enemy of My Enemy

Another story, set midway through last session, as we're all aboard the Phalaborwan flagship headed towards De Aar. I've wanted to write this meeting for a while, and I'm glad I got a chance between next session.

Winds of Vesperia - Promoted

Another short story, this one set very close to the end of last session, after the conjuration ritual at the rift but before the sighting of the Falan fleet. In which it is revealed that, as always, actions have consequences.

Winds of Vesperia - Necessities

A new story set midway through last game, after the humans' first meeting with Queen Sela of Phalaborwa. Just because.

The humans are coming, the humans are coming! Yes, the human fleet has finally made its way through the rift. And just in time too! Things are about to get bloody!

And that’s where we’re leaving it. Unless we manage a feat of miraculous scheduling, the next game may not be until mid-November. The cliffhangers! The horrible, horrible cliffhangers!

Epic battles! The near-deaths of millions! Treason and trickery! It's all in a day's work for Our Heroes of Vesperia (tm).

September 5, 2014 )

At that's it for this time! Join us in two weeks as we fly to De Aar with our new ships, our new crew, and our shiny new 15th levels! Yay!

URDR - Multiverse Defense

Episode 15 and the cards are laid on the table. When Nidhogg extends the hand of hospitality to us, it’s only fitting that we circle around and stab him in the back. It’s for the good of the multiverse, after all. And involves big explosions, which has gotta count for something, right?

August 16, 2014 )

That’s it for this time! Next time: continued war! Retaliation! Retribution! And the knowledge that we may have messed up paradise forever! …But hey, it’s no big deal. At least we got to blow stuff up.

The Queen of Winter is dead! Huzzah! It only took the deaths of two PCs and most of our NPCs to do it! ...Yay?

August 8, 2014 )

And that's it for this time! Next time... who knows, really? Will we be able to bring the fleet through? Will we be forced to find another rift somewhere else? Will Incose kill us all, just because he feels like it? Join us in a month to find out!

When everything looks bleak and wintery... it's probably about accurate, really. It doesn't help when our main ally gets captured by the enemy, leaving us to face the hordes of winter alone. Oh, well. That's why we're the heroes. And level 14.

July 18, 2014 )

And that's it for this time! Next time we face the Queen of Winter and our almost certain deaths! Yay!

Into the lands of dream! Where the people are strange, the landscape is stranger, and fights are conducted by slinging phantasms. Unless you're us, of course.

July 11, 2014 )

And that's it for this time. Next time, we return one level more experienced. So we'll all have our new, shiny, level-14 abilities to take on the Queen of the Winter Court. Why do I have a feeling we're gonna need them?

Winds of Vesperia - Family, By Any Means Necessary

Family, By Any Means Necessary

Six years ago…

Senior Mage Cadet Amber Stormweaver knocked tentatively on her mentor’s door. There were conventions around the Mage Corps, ways to indicate that you were in study or conducting experiments and should not be disturbed. Still, people sometimes forgot. It was best to be cautious when arriving unannounced.

Winds of Vesperia - The Delicate Dance

It’s been a while, but I think we’re long past due for a new Sela story. Because when you’ve got three years of downtime and an ambiguous relationship with a major NPC, what else are you gonna do? This one’s set relatively late in the downtime, maybe six months or so before last session. There may yet be others.

The war has been dragging on for three years. The queen is succumbing to the demon within her. So when she sends Our Heroes (tm) on a special diplomatic mission to the 4th Tier, we should all recall the wise words of Admiral Ackbar, "It's a trap!" Oh, well. At least we're all level 13 now.

We stopped right in the middle of a scene, so join us next time for the thrilling conclusion!

Winds of Vesperia

As we close this momentous chapter of Winds of Vesperia, let us take stock of where things stand. The king is dead and three queens have risen. The warforged is once more his true self. A paladin has regained his wings. And one lone dwarf is lost forever in the vastness of the planes.

I never could get the hang of Thursdays.

Another new Sela story, with everyone’s favorite recurring ex-lover! Because if there’s one thing that’s a shame to lose, it’s interpersonal tension.

Winds of Vesperia - One Queen to Another

New story! I actually meant to write this before last session but didn't quite get around to it. So I'm writing it now. So there.
