time for a bit of a break
Darkness. That is how I spent most of the combat last night. Blinded. Clouded by darkness. Could it be an omen? Does my goddess, Sehanine Moonbow, speak to me? Let me go further back. We had just parted ways with the slaves we had rescued from the mountains. The mage who was among them, agreed […]
