With her timbers a-shivered and mains’l in shreds The Chameleon limped slowly around the heads A port drew in sight and repair was assured. But take care and beware, for all those on board. Any Port in a Storm The Chameleon slowly made her way into port, her mainsail shredded beyond repair. Grateful though he […]
Fear shook the crew as the claws raked the deck, But Rootsmasher plunged his sword in its neck. The gryphon was dead, but no hope of plunder Afloat in our boat with the sail torn asunder Death from Above Six strangers boarded the Chameleon at the port of Drake Guard. Six companions alighted in Port […]
Draw near the fire and warm your bones While I strum my lyre with soothing tones. A tale I will sing ye of sadness and woe And gladness and madness, with blade and with bow… A Test of Blade and Bow Five stood in the afternoon sun with the roar of the crowd echoing across […]
