Our way lighted by burning men

She woke from dreams of darkness and fire, and bolted upright, a thin sheen of sweat on her brow. It was still dark, not daybreak yet, and she was within the safety of her residence in Britain. But Valonia’s dreams had been troubled ever since she gone to Despise. She hadn’t planned to enter the gre...

Discretion being the better part of... you know.

“That would not be terribly valorous of you, but likely the better idea,” Val commented, her longer strides keeping up easily with Siva’s. “Automatons are rare enough, but I cannot imagine why you would need to fight knights anyway. I have not encountered any lawbreaking ones -- and besides they are...

Re: [Open RP] Britain's Merchant District

“Broadsword or longsword then?” Valonia replied idly, her mind still poring over the other woman’s explanations. “A broadsword might have interesting symbolism, depending on how the individual sword is balanced. Light to raise, weighty to descend... that sort of thing.” She had her opinions, of cour...

Re: Two notes, one ingame, one website.

You have to talk to the ferry (I forget what to say), but there might be a sign. But it's possible, just fyi!

Re: [Open RP] Britain's Merchant District

“No, not too much,” Val replied. “I have not spent time at the Lycaeum, so your explanation was quite useful. It explains what I wanted to know.” She had been to Moonglow, but that was pretty much the extent of her experience with such things. And her Moonglow visit had come after she had already ch...

Re: The wanderer and the ogre 'magic'

Valonia opened her mouth as if to say something, then sat there blinking in alarm, her mouth still hanging as open as the door of the Cat’s Lair. But she could start to feel the odd looks of the other patrons. So, snapping her mouth shut, she quickly donned her cloak once more and gathered her thing...

[Open RP] Britain's Merchant District

(Open RP, everyone free to join, etc. etc. Leaving a lot of details unsaid so other people can fill in their own ideas.) Britain’s Merchant District encompassed both sides of the river. All manner of goods and services could be purchased if one had the coin. Valonia headed in the direction she assum...

Re: The wanderer and the ogre 'magic'

As the old man told his story, the woman kept her expression neutral, and nodded slowly. Her initial thought was that he was more nuts than a field of oak trees. Still… she had been around Coyote enough now to suspect that most of the things the old man said had some hint of fact within it, some kin...

Re: The wanderer and the ogre 'magic'

Valonia did not truly need an old man’s carrots or turnip. On any given day, she was perfectly capable of supplementing her nutrition intake both with what she foraged and from various teas created from the weeds she found in people’s yards. (Not to mention that she was in fact a druid and thus had ...

Re: [Open RP] The Blue Boar - Britain

Val looked at her finished meal, then back to her companion. It seemed natural that the woman would join her in her task, and Val didn’t even consider questioning it.

“Sounds good to me,” she answered. “Besides. I imagine carters and haulers are much easier to understand than lizardfolk.”
