Battle Hymn of the Republic

Willow’s test worked in multiple ways. Mainly, she found she was able to traverse the shaft without needing to wait for the elevator. An added bonus was practicing her use of Steel in places where she couldn’t see. Of all her metals, Steel and Iron were peculiar in a specific way. The lines that str...

“Of course~ I’d be happy to offer a reading for both of you,” Destiny answered with a smile. “Although, fortunes are more accurate if you have a clear question that you wish to ask the fates. Think of specifics while I’m eating if you’d like.” The Fatecaller druid munched away happily at her salad a...

“Yes, my name is Destiny LeChance, I am a fortune teller, and no it doesn’t run in my family; I’m the first mage in my family. Fate just had a bit of a sense of humor with me,” Destiny spoke rhythmically, and her tone suggested she’d received the question before. “As for why I thought you were a Thi...

“Lest ya forget, this is the second time I’ve beaten you in a one-on-one. You hit me with a table, remember?” Willow remarked with a smirk as she returned the rib jab.

“Dill forgot the golden rule: Never go off the lift without your helmet ,” Willow panted as she landed. For effect she tapped her own headwear. Looking at the Artisan she was both surprised the plan had worked even if its form had changed, and mildly concerned about the man’s wellbeing. She’d seen h...

Willow nabbed the pouch of Iron bearings and quickly swallowed one of the beads. With the renewed Reserve, she pulled on the bearings while gripping the pouch to let the bed plant themselves against her chest. In part so she could use them in a minute, and in part to help keep her shirt closed and h...

Eyes wide with shock, Willow released a gasp as she was slammed into the ground and the air was forced from her lungs. As she wheezed trying to get air back into her system she glared up at Diligence; defiance burning bright in her eyes. Sure, she had made an offhand comment about duking it out agai...

Noted. Ivorium without Pewter made for a rough time. A fact made even more unfortunate as Diligence intercepted the throw from Manon.
