Distraction (Kreet 30)

She knelt on the floor, feeling the minds of the four men gone now after her ordeal - her 'revelation'. She held her hands over her head and would not open them. She knew what she would see, and she couldn't stand it. The horror in the eyes of her...

Quest (Kreet 19)

In fact, someone did try to mess with her later that night. She'd gone out to dump the dirty, bloody water out when a figure approached from the side of the Tavern. He must have thought he was sneaking up on her, she thought, but Kreet spotted him...

Brand (Kreet 9)

In fact it took more than a week before her eyesight had fully recovered. Karl had, of course, received suitable punishment for casting such a spell untutored, but it was nothing compared to his own self-recrimination. During that week he was at...

Guiding Bolt (Kreet 8)

Kreet lay awake in her cell for a long time that morning before finally succumbing to nervous exhaustion. Becoming an officially recognized Acolyte was reason enough. Knowing the Abbot supported that decision was even more inspiring. But for all that...

New Home (Kreet 4)

The morning was bright to her eyes, but not intolerable. Ka'Plo said the sun was behind the clouds, and so she was spared the blinding, direct sunlight. Still, she asked him for a bit of thin cloth that she happily took and fashioned a sort of...

Epilogue (Kreet 32)

Brand did look for Kreet for days. Weeks in fact. After the Mind Flayer was dead, its minions scattered - some even managed to get out of the labyrinth of caverns alive. Others fell to the kobolds and their traps. Fortunately the kobolds were...

Arrows (Kreet 25)

Bob's eyes opened and seemed to burn with an internal fire that mimicked the flames in the Brazier above their heads. The creature stood up, half again as tall as a man and bellowed with a sound that made Kreet put her hands to the sides of her head....

Meeting Bob (Kreet 24)

"Thanks Kreet," Mekelson said, taking the skin from the little kobold. "Stupid of us to come unprepared." Kreet laughed, "Hey, I'm the one still dressed like this! Think I can seduce the demon?" "I wouldn't count on it," Quint said, taking the water...

Traps (Kreet 23)

To say they walked stealthily deeper into the caverns would be a lie. The Knight clanged along with all the stealth of a rattling cart and, while the Paladin's armor was of a finer build and lighter alloy, it was no less noisy. They would not have the...

Entrance (Kreet 22)

The morning sun hadn't yet risen when they stopped. "This way," Mekelson guided them as they climbed down off the wagon and tethered the horses. "You've been here before?" Kreet asked as she hopped down, slapping Kevin's hand away again...

Vosa (Kreet 20)

"But, I thought he was at the Monastery! Or had started his Apostlate by now anyway," Kreet said as they ran back through the path in the woods. "He left the day after you, Kreet," Karl said, hobbling as best he could along the rough path. "He thought...

Seeing Red (Kreet 18)

A month later, the promise became moot. Ashley came to her one morning, before the others had risen, with the news that she was not pregnant. Kreet tried to share her relief as best she could, but inwardly she could not. For a month she had seen a...
