Interlude – Adventurers (Pt. 2)

November 13, 2022

Adventurers in Albez, digging. Adventurers in Liscor, tossing skeletons into the chasm. Adventurers everywhere. However, it wasn’t all about them. While they were up and spending every waking moment in search of treasure, the party that Lyonette had started was still going on in multiple cities. More than three days had passed—this was the seventh, […]

Interlude – Adventurers (Pt. 1)

November 9, 2022

“When did it happen?” “What happen?” He leaned on the pommel of his horse’s saddle. A rich saddle, high-backed and made for long-distance riding. Padded subtly, and enchanted so you had even less chance of slipping during a ride. All the things he didn’t want to show the youngsters. All the things he had never […]

(Author’s Disclaimer: The numbers contained within this chapter are entirely based on one person’s perception and have no necessary connection with reality.)   It was one thing after another, these wild days. It proved the Gnolls were right. They always were when the wind changed. More than [Historians], more than [Kings] and nations—Gnolls had successfully […]

(The Wandering Inn survey has a statistics page! Check it out here!)   When she woke up in the inn, Mihaela Godfrey felt like a young woman for the first second of every morning. In that brief moment—it felt like the inn hadn’t changed from when it first opened. Which was silly because it did […]

There was something bittersweet about seeing them coming out the garden to cheers. Together, the [Innkeeper] and the Goblin. And the bee, but she didn’t count. Niers noticed, of course, but only because Apista was flying. He stared blankly at her. “Is that…fire? And here I was going to send her a leg. And a […]

[Andrew Rowe has come out with Book 4 in his series, Arcane Ascension! Silence of the Unworthy Gods (great title, we’re on the same page), is out now! Check out the book and series here!]   In Baleros, there is a [Doctor]. Her name is Geneva Scala, and she needs to be found. She is […]

Interlude – Relationships

October 5, 2022

As they drove away from Riverfarm, Erin was napping. A little witch curiously watched her face as Erin dropped off. One moment, she was full of energy, talking about her [Garden of Sanctuary] and promising to show Nanette around—the next? She quietly fell asleep. Or rather, began dozing. She began murmuring and nodding along to […]

For the daughter of a legend, Wiskeria’s eyes were too normal. They were yellow and green, the two colors separate, not some blend of the two, and quite resembled a plain field of grass and daffodils on a sunlit day in nature. Compared to her mother’s gaze—well, all Erin Solstice knew were stories. Numbtongue had […]

Interlude – The Great Race

September 28, 2022

[I wrote an essay because…because. Check it out here. https://stagewandering.wpenginepowered.com/essay-ais-and-the-future-of-writing/]   Some day, huh? What were you supposed to do after meeting a Dragon? Cold shower, lots of cuddling with significant others? Talk with friends and make sure you hadn’t gone crazy? The funny thing was that the instinct to run around in the streets […]

The Antinium really knew how to ruin someone’s day. And by ‘someone’, that was everyone. There was something sobering, in a truly unpleasant way, in seeing the distant Antinium threat on the wrong side of the High Passes. It told men like Calidus Reinhart that the Antinium had a route to the north. Not just […]

While Erin Solstice was learning a lesson about [Witches], the rest of the world had their eyes on Izril. Not in a grand sense of it being the most important part of the world. Arguably, the King of Destruction took priority there. He was now back with every living member of his Seven, and Nerrhavia’s […]

Inkarr the Traveller was what Gnolls called her. She was, to ask the Longstalker’s Fang Tribe, a sociable, kind Human. Someone who got exasperated by their rolling ‘r’s in her name, a wonderful emissary for her people. Brave, fond of a silly [Guardsman]—and Lehra Ruinstrider’s paramour, among about a hundred others. She didn’t…act like that […]

After so long, she was coming here. There was more than a bit of fate in it, but fate was such a fickle thing. As immutable as belief and mountains, and as fragile as both before will, chance, and magic. Even so, like belief, like a dream or a mountain, only the most foolish ignored […]

Vacation Report by pirateaba — Let me paint you a picture. Although I’m not much good at painting, I’ll try. I was once told that the United Kingdom in large and London especially was a miserable place (in some ways) purely on the weather. In that it rained constantly. I have been to London—once—but I […]

[Firebrand is a new story by a friend of mine, Quill! It’s about elemental spells, a magic school, and a journey to become the Firebrand. Consider giving it a read here! https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/56176/firebrand]   “Let me in.” A Drake stood like a [Beggar] in front of a [King]’s treasury.

The Wandering Inn AMA!

[The Wandering Inn has an AMA on r/progressionfantasy on the 26th! Be there, be square, or something!]   (An early AMA with The Wandering Inn’s guests above! pirateaba will be doing a longer one later. Transcript below.)         Erin: Um. Is this thing on? Lyonette: It’s on, Erin. See? The rune’s glowing. […]

[The author is on break until July 30th! See the Author’s Notes for more things. There is an AMA on r/progressionfantasy on the 26th too!]   She did not appear in dreams often. Never for Mrsha before now, in fact. Which suggested that perhaps even dreams were afraid of Belavierr. There she stood, in what […]

Another day dawned over The Wandering Inn, and a few people started their day in very different ways. The sun was welcome these days, if only because the fall was getting cold. Cold enough that Lyonette had gone down to rekindle the fireplace in the hopes that it would warm up the inn. She’d doubled […]

“Hail.” A simple greeting yet, as with everything of their kind, the nuance had layers of history behind it. Meaning that even they had forgotten. Hail. The other Dragons spread their wings, answering the brief comment with motion, not words. He folded his own wings as he landed. A gesture of peace among allies, however […]

It might be difficult, even for someone who knew him, to spot the difference at first. The clues were all there, but you know how he lied. He lied in words, actions, and even to himself. Perhaps he was more lie than man, now. So, yes, given the circumstances, it was entirely forgivable not to […]

Interlude – The Isles of Goblin and Minos

July 5, 2022

A pair of Minotaurs and a half-Elf walk into a bar. A third Minotaur is already waiting for them. The half-Elf orders a bowl of bugs, and the other two Minotaurs look at the third one. He has no arm. He smiles and stands up. Then—the Minotaur asks the other two. “Is today when I […]

(What could this mean? Click here to learn about a free sweepstakes!)         It was time to get back to work. Vacations were never long enough, even, apparently, if you were dead. You just got more homework from ghosts. In Erin’s case, she equated ‘work’ with stressful activities. The not-a-party had arguably […]

(I am on break until the 28th for Patrons! I’ll post one more chapter of Volume 9 then, and the side story poll. Don’t let me forget the poll.)   Lamont was not a superstitious man. He was Scottish, but he was not Christian, though he’d been to church quite a lot growing up. He […]

It said a lot that her first friend was Mrsha. Not about Gireulashia’s judgment of character or Mrsha herself. Rather, that it took her fifteen years to make a friend, and that her first friend was half her age and less than half her height. Less than a third if Mrsha ran around on all […]
