Topic: Submission: The Explorations of Zanthora
Subject: Well that was uncalled for.
In a calm voice Teryn says "I thank you for freeing me, but the kick was not needed friends, maybe just a pull. It seems I was trapped in here when the ship went down. Would one of you mind telling what is going on?"

Topic: Random Writings.
Subject: Something else...
It’s a funny sight, looking at this world through a mist,
Time is running by me,
Everyone is flying around, yet here I sit,
Laughing in my face is the specter if all the chances I missed.
When failure becomes a product of society,
And if society is the product of the mind,
Then when we look deep inside what else can we expect to find?
None of us are blind, we just chose not to look,
When things get to scarey, its fine to just turn away, look down.
How can people ever expect to change everything around them,
When the thing that really needs to be changed is inside of them?
Too afraid to look forward, it hurts to much to look back,
And it seems the courage to look inside is what we all lack.
Passed chances running past me like street signs,
Im trying to slam on the brakes,
But all that happens is another part of me breaks.
Youll never know how sorry I am, its not that I wont tell you,
I apologized for that night, when all I could do was send you all the wrong signs.
Its come with a warning behind that pretty smile, a hint of danger behind these eyes.
For once to you, these wont be lies.
Im sorry for those times, you worked so hard,
Im sorry for the times you tried to open me up.
With the deft hands of a surgeon you met me at my finest,
Im sorry for those times, I cant apologize for my blindess.
When the world needs to change,
Im sorry it was me that couldn’t change for you.
When the signs were blurring past me, ghosts of a past that should have been me,
Im sorry you were sitting right beside me.

Topic: Random Writings.
Subject: Random Writings.
Ehh I wrote a lot of poetry during a rough time in my life, thats niether here nor there. Girl problems and being in a desert for the short story. Either way, Im terribly nervous about letting anyone see what I write so why not make you guys stare at it? Critique it por favor!
The fake smiles worked for a while
The look on your eyes, you couldn’t see through my guile
I was a little bit confused I felt a little bit used
Maybe you noticed now, all the blood on the tile.
Good god, its been a while.
You told me it didn’t matter, it was my life
But when mine became yours, yours became ours
I knew how you had to deal with this strife,
You cried for hours upon hours
Looking at this life you hated to call ours, always answering to higher powers
This love grew up like flowers,
Too bad all around my friends grow flowers.
I shoulda known you would find out sometime,
Take a look again, im not so sublime
A life of crime, a sentence of too much time
I shoulda known this shit would have come back on you
In some senses you are as much a soldier as I am
And for that I can never atone
And having said that I think itd be better if u just left me alone
Yeah it hurts to say that,
And yeah it hurts to think it,
But trust me its gonna hurt when you finally have to see what it really is
People trying to be me,
The only way to be me is to no longer have a me.
The pied piper is calling, and its time I left,
Time I walked away.
Pull me back in if you care,
Theres times I gasp for air
Theres time I realize that its no longer fair,
Why should you care?
To see this heart bare, to see this skin tear,
That’s all there’s left,
And now I think its time I left.
Don’t worry, u do what you do with a so hand deft.
Peace, its over…..
Exit, stage left.

Topic: Mercenary Vessel Solstice: A Space Adventure
Subject: Potential character build?
How would you feel about adding like an intelligence specialist to the build. Someone who like finds out the ins and outs of the contract and or whatever the crew is trying to do while waiting for a contract. Maybe like a sort of recon guy. I see the other builds are geared for the neccesitys of the ship and the missions but id maybe like to try the recon sort of thing. Maybe a forward scout or point of contact not always on the ship but maybe landing a few hours or days ahead of the rest of the crew and kind of getting a feel for the situation. If thats not too far out there or god like, I can see how it would be (lands on the station, plants a bomb in the tunnel ducts, blows the vents out and boom no more boss, ya know?)
Just an idea.

Topic: Artemis Entreri!
Subject: Artemis Entreri!
Does anyone else have the problem of reading a book centered around the super classic Drizzt and find himnself or herself wrapped around Artemis Entreri's completely mind blowing rise from nothingness to almost mythical crime lord turned good slash I rage on anyone who I dont like? Or not to mention Jarlaxles just phenomenal story, with Bregan De'Arth and just his whole mystique? I just picked up my copy of the Dark Elf Trilogy and it brought back some fond memories of sitting in health class and saying no no the only part of anatomy I care about is I hope our dm has a sweet critical hit description later .
Ahhhh for the joys of being a kid and not having to worry and being able to sit there and dream about your characters.
Anyways, if anyone has any good DnD based reading aside from the Forgotten Realms, please let me know, I love to read about it. I would recomend the Dragon Lance series..... The authors do a fantastic job with unforgettable characters. I mean Tasselhoff? Dalamar? Tanis? Tika? And god knows Ive modeled ssssoo many mages off the consumate mage Raistlin
Oh by the way, all credit for anything I said goes to Margeret Weiss, Tracky Hickman and R.A. Salvatore, mainly using the character names. Im not sure how that works online and I dont want to get slapped lol.

Subject: Start of something I think I might pursue?
So I just found out that for the next two or so years Ill have a ton of free time and maybe Ill pick back up where I left with some writing and some gaming and I thought Id post this here and see what you think of it. PLease feel free to tell me its horrible or just tell me anything. I gamed a lot but as a player so this is a stab in the dark towards creating something. I hope you all have a fantastic day .
The WindBourne.
Two figures, both clad in gray robes strode into the tavern one cold windy night. The town was Talor, a lonely plot of ground on the road to what was the Whispering Pass, the only road through the Howling Cliffs to the WindWastes.
The first traveler took a seat at an empty table but his companion searched the room, scanning from corner to corner as if searching for someone or something. The look in his eyes said he really didnt want to find his prey.
In a tired voice he asks " Merry men, I ask for news of a man, a town, a society even and more so then all of them a mystery. Or should I say what might have been a man...Ive come from the south to find a part of a world long lost to us who do not inhabit these barren deserts."
As he pulls back his cloak his features are undeniably Elven, a pale face sorrounded by black locks. Now friends, we havent seen an outsider her in an old mans memory. "Where I hail from the lush trees hide our own secrets, but that is neither here nor there. Ive come to search the shadows of the deserts and listen to the voices in the winds... What might you tell us of the township, the principality of WindBourne?"
Now when the elf made his statement a silence slid down over the room, friends glanced at each other and most just stared at the bold elf.
One man stood up and replied " Listen here elf, those are things we dont bring up here abouts. Those scum aint been heard from in years and thats the way we like it. The old mans estate is in ruin and his son aint comming back and he sure aint missed much by us here! Only a fool would comming looking after a fairy tale told to scare younguns!"
The rest of the room applauded and there was much slamming of glasses and cheers. Im pretty sure I heard someone yelling about getting on home before you cant make it home. But that may have just been my imagination. No sooner then the last toast was called and the last ale downed did a chill fall upon the room, leaving an even greater silence then the first time. It almost seemed that the very lights dimmed and the shadows grew.
Suddenly I stood up from my seat in the corner, shifting the dusty tan robes the covered my tired, battered body. A blue rose lying across and single tower adorned the almost velvet black tabard hidden under the robes. Silenty I pulled the hood down, exposing the tan, almost brown skin of my face and the black pools that some call my eyes and the unkempt reddish black hair framing my narrow and chiseled face. My fingers curled around the blackest of wood that made up my stuff and my eyes looked, almost for reassurance, at the black orb atop my staff, held by three ghastly white skeletal fingers. As the light in the room returned, myself and the staff grew darker.
With a sigh and a shake of my head I began " It appears you were all wrong, wrong so m-." Suddenly I was cut off by the first elf.
"I would say he is right in that you were all wrong for unless I am much mistaken this is the man we seek...."
He might as well have yelled it without raising his voice for the silence in the room was now almost a living thing. I was honestly stunned that he found his voice, many have a problem speaking and even thinking when my ire is raised.
Moving forward to the hearth I looked around and continued speaking " This was the welcome home I expected. A chill welcome at best. But home I am. And a fool I suppose I am as well. I seek to return to the home of my ancester, I will return to the WindBourne."
I threw a map towards the standing elf but his suprise served him poorly as he dropped the floating paper. His companion reached to pick it up and slid it into the front of his robes as I strode past him out into the storm that slammed the door behind me.
Walking away from the Desert Sun, I fell deep into thought. Was I right to come back here? What could I expect from people who hated my family and me for things we did do and things we didnt do? I knew that no one would have dared to approach the manor even if they knew how, so what was I looking for there? Closure? Some sense of finality? Or a twisted visage of what once was and what might have been, a catalyst to drive me deeper into the shadows?
After but a few hours of walking I saw a familiar rock wall, barren and unoticeable. My fingers traced familiar cracks and crevices and I muttered the same words that I had before. Sighing, I shook off the robes I wore and the black wings unfurled from my shoulders. With a single flap of those wings I lifted myself over the wall and perched atop it, looking down on two worlds. One that was home, one that never could be home. I kept an eye out for the elves that I knew would be following the map.
I slipped into the same old patterns of the desert that I had missed so much while away and a few hours before sunrise I awoke to the sound of voices below me.
"Were lost brother, we must turn around before we run out of water in the abyss."
"Turn back now? We must stay the path friend, this is the first lead our people have had for half a century!"
At this point I floated down behind the elves from the tavern.
In a voice that seemed to resonate I said "Stay the path my friend, stay the path. As a matter of fact, stay right here."
With a wave of my hand the rock walls very face split and opened to reveal a magnificent valley of sorts. The path fell down to a green strip of land following a river and the sides revealed cliffs soaring to thousands of feet lined with caves and switchback paths for those wishing to climb them without the help of wings. The rock is a dark black and a reddish brown, blending seamlessly into the desert skies. The walls are worn smooth by a millenium of sand and wind working with the graceful fingers of weather. Upon seeing the canyon a flood of memories hit me with a rush. Thats another story though...
"Listen friend, listen to the silence. This is the whispering pass, few come here and even fewer hear the noise in the silence" I said.
As if the canyon heard me speak an eery shriek split the serene silence of the early morning.
"One of my distant cousins has awoken I hear....of the few that hear even fewer understand the screams in the night, the shrieks before the sun rises. Those that do tend to run away and call it insanity. Those who heed the call and are too weak of mind do end up insane. I wonder friends, which will you be? Follow me and you might embrace the call of my ancestors. Welcome wanderers, welcome to my ancestral home. Welcome to WindBourne."
