NOTE: This is how Sage and I RP outside of the game. With just minor corrections and fixed typos, and consistency applied to tense (we slip back and forth between present and past tense), this is practically a copy-and-paste from one of our RP sessions on Google Hangouts that we just bounce back and forth […]
Rann turned over the letter in her hands again, hardly able to believe it. She wasn't sure whether to be happy, furious, or just plain relieved. Tonight, you showed remarkable restraint. While some on the Council may worry that you lack the power necessary for Archmageship, the most important facet is when that power […]
Doradrassil frowned, surveying the fortress' main courtyard for what must have been the trillionth time. She didn't like this stalemate one bit… The lockdown was so tight that they knew they had trapped Silvergear within Fort Kickass after the attack on Rann. Peter had done well in keeping a close guard on Mallory, and making […]
A NOTE ABOUT THIS SERIES OF JOURNALS: Rann is about to go through a trial to become an Archmage, and the way I imagine it, given her history with the Kirin Tor, she would need to be confirmed by the Council of Six. The characters who make up the Council of Six will appear in […]
Rann collapsed on the soft bed, rented from one of the luxurious inns in Dalaran, and buried her face in the pillow. She hit her face against it several times. "What was I thinking?" she groaned into it. Awakening from her ordeal at the hands of an assassin in the garrison, Rann had […]
NOTE: This takes place well after Rann's brush with death in the Wolves campaign, after she has recovered. "Incredible…" Rann stood with Claret's spell tome open before her in the mage tower, frowning at the spell detailed before her. Kageseji lay on her floating carpet, hovering a foot or so above Rann's head, peeking […]
"Are you well, little shadow?" Ærtemis' whisper on the night air was soft enough that Doradrassil almost thought she imagined it. Only her mentor ghosting into plain sight made her certain it had been asked at all. "Why wouldn't I be?" Doradrassil asked simply, though the words stung. She knew better. "You […]
On his way back to Mallory's location, Peter stopped at the dwarven bunker to pick up a weapon. A familiar face greeted him there, sharpening a newly-received blade: his old friend Charles Thackery. He had heard that Charles had been gotten a station in Fort Kickass on the recommendation of Shadowsage, but hadn't had time […]
Kageseji… Rann… Mallory… Trisahna. There was a pattern forming. The list of targets Kageseji's kidnapper had shared was disturbing indeed. All women, all templars — or friend or relative of a templar, in Trisahna's case. That last name added a new dimension of oddity to the activity. This target list transcended boundaries of Horde and […]
"You dere! Dis Highmaul territory!" Rann allowed herself a brief smirk before feigning her surprise. Leaping to her feet from inside her small tent that bore the colors of the Kirin Tor, she laid wide eyes on the ogre magister fast approaching from the road east of Highmaul. Arcane runes swirled about his […]
Doradrassil was secretly grateful for the awkward silence between the Templars and the Wardens that had arisen with the escalation of tensions during the confrontation with the Warden in Arak. The silence gave the operative time to quietly review what had transpired and glean more information that might have been missed in the heat of […]
Rann idly slid her fingers through the water of the fountain in the middle of the town square at the fortress. Many things plagued her mind: Kageseji and her abductor — as well as who was ultimately responsible for sending that night elf — Idella and her safety — just who and what was Claret, anyway? […]
"Hey, Mallory! Catch!" Mallory spun in time to catch a small object tossed by her twin sister, Emma. The heavily armored paladin approached the priestess, grinning. The goblin bodyguards nearby craned their heads and stood on tip-toe to see what value the gift might hold. "Sorry I didn’t wrap it," Emma said. "It’s […]
"Just a second!" Mallory awkwardly tugged at the back zipper of her battlesuit that she wore beneath her robes, an unwound wire hanger threaded through the zipper's loop so she could reach it. The knock on the door had come at an awful time. This suit was a pain to put on, but offered […]
"Taldrus, don't start…at least, not in front of THEM." That was what Rann imagined Arialynn said with the look on her face. The two paladins, heroes in many respects, accompanied Rann and Shadowsage on a very special trip. Rann wasn't sure now whose idea it had been — hers or Shadowsage's — but they […]
A sealed letter is delivered directly to Jaffar by Doradrassil Longshadow. She gives him a look of urgency when she hands him this letter, but says nothing about it. EYES ONLY Regarding suspects — we have determined the kidnapper (but not ultimate perpetrator) to be a female night elf with gold eyes. We know […]
Peter let out a breath and gasped in another, coughing and feeling his gut wrenching up as he struggled to control his breathing. He must have sounded like he had just come up from a dangerously long dive, and that was indeed how he felt…except that his "dive" had been into the most foul-smelling cellar […]
A Templar captured in the Gorian capitol of Highmaul, a shredded Templar tabard with the name of a woman who hadn’t been seen in over a year, and a body mutilated beyond recognition. These were the heavy thoughts that plagued Mallory as she walked the road to Shattrath. Night had fallen in Talador, and she […]
"Venallus, where were you during the attack? We could have used your magic." Venallus looked up from his book and turned a nonchalant eye towards the paladin Raluun. The exhausted vindicator leaned heavily on the nearby support column, his hammer resting on the ground and held only loosely in his right hand. It had […]
Emma laughed. The sights of Talador were breathtaking, but it was Mallory’s gaze of wonder that kept drawing her attention. She wondered how her twin kept from getting dizzy, constantly turning to look this way and that as they walked the picturesque road toward Shattrath. Signs of conflict dotted the landscape, but unlike the […]
Mallory awoke with a start, her foot kicking at something. Realizing she had been dreaming, she looked around. The barracks was silent and still, her fellow templars sound asleep. She laid her head back down and stared at the ceiling. The nightmares had started up again since coming to Draenor, but she didn’t want […]
The letter is marked "Urgent" neatly beneath Arialynn’s name. The envelope is sealed not with wax, but with a faintly pulsing rune in the familiar shape of the Eye of the Kirin Tor. Dear Justicar: I am to convey that your presence has been requested in the Caverns of Time. Shadowsage Hopesong will meet you […]
It was working! The plan was working! The Light-infused weapons were doing their job, and the army was cutting through the heart of the Burning Legion's last lines of defense like butter. The tactical advantage gained by swapping bodies with a top draenei engineer was clear. It had been the best idea since the computer-simulation […]
As Aertemis and Doradrassil discuss the situation, Chrissinne enters with a ridiculously adorable yak! Doradrassil stares at…the…yak… Aertemis: You are sure this really is a good idea, including me as a Warden, little shadow? Doradrassil: …including….um… *looks very distracted* …a YAK. Aertemis: ….I've seen stranger. Doradrassil: But yes, I think now is as good […]
