Suffering from the inability to become inebriated has left Riposte Clasicant more cantankerous than usual. The body count is rising, and Pertuli isn't the only one who wonders if Rip's condition is more serious than an unusual curse; with dire results. In Silver Blades novellas, we follow the adventures of an elven swordsman who has neglected duty and honor in recent decades. Often, his peers seek restitution for this debauchery in blood. Only superior skill with a blade and a single-minded devotion to finding his lost love has kept Rip alive thus far. Pertuli, his sarcastic but well-meaning sidekick, is not always sure he is on the right side. Silver Blades: Dread Handed takes place after the events in Silver Blades: Prize Fight. Praise for Silver Blades: Dread Handed: "I love [Riposte]. He is officially my favorite Wattpad character. (and you can quote me on that)" - @avadel ----- "... well crafted and packed with tension." - @KellyJBurke ----- "Well done, my friend!" - @OrinBattlehammer -----

On the first Monday of April 1625, in Paris, Monsieur Charles d'Avaloy, a lieutenant in Louis XIII's Guard, suddenly finds himself mixed up in some high intrigue. Other than duels (which, admittedly, he has done quite often, and for a long time), the soldier normally keeps away from public life as much as possible. So, why, all of a sudden, does somebody want him dead? And, whoever it is, is willing to set assassins at his heels to make sure that the job gets done right ... Again, dueling other soldiers for honor is one thing, but assassination attempts are quite another! Within a single evening, not only is this man's life turned completely upside-down, but in order to keep this matter as hushed as possible, several other men have already been murdered - one of them just for attempting to warn him! ...

"We're going to need more heroes." Dragoskala has erupted in chaos as an evil plot comes to fruition.

This time his faults have come back to haunt everyone, and he hopes his superior skill with a blade and the help of Pertuli, his sarcastic but well-meaning sidekick, will be enough to save the city he loves.

You can get your fix here in my Doses of Adventure one shot collection. Some tales may have 2nd or 3rd parts, but my main focus is to write short thrilling stories. My settings can vary from 1820's London to 1930s South America, to even futuristic Jurassic Park. WARNINGS: PG-13. Light innuendos. Light to medium sexual content. Slight adult language. Adult themes. High risk. Possible triggers. (That all means that this is an average Wattpad book and it's nothing to be afraid of. But really, 13+ PLEASE.) Cover Art by Me!

In 1863, Theophile Gautier introduced us to the loquacious, punctilious swordsman, brigand and killer for hire Maitre Jaquemin Lampourde and his curious-looking colleague the Chevalier Malartic, assassin, criminal mastermind and professional kidnapper. They were only secondary villains in Gautier's 'Captain Fracasse', henchmen to the villainous Duc d'Vallombreuse, but they were also much more interesting than any of the main characters of the novel, and sadly received far too little page-time. To remedy Gautier's negligence, I present the continued adventures of this pair of professional criminals in the Paris of D'Artagnan and Cyrano, hoping to do for them what Stoppard did for Rosencrantz and Gildenstern, and what Macdonald-Fraser did for Harry Flashman.

This is the story of Qasim, a character i made for Pathfinder 1st edition and used ChatGPT as the Dungeon Master, everything will be explained in the intro chapter. The story takes place in Osirion (a country inside Golarion, Pathfinder's main setting) but you don't need prior knowledge of the lore to understand what's going on in the story. This story is here to inspire you on your solo adventures using ai (i see you, forever DMs ^^) Also, this is the first time i attempt this, so it is far from perfect but the ai did a pretty good job and i am satisfied with the story so far.

An adventure is an event or series of events that happens outside the course of the protagonist's ordinary life, usually accompanied by danger, often by physical action. Adventure stories almost always move quickly, and the pace of the plot is at least as important as characterization, setting, and other elements of creative work

Raven sat there, blinking in the darkness. Suddenly, a determined thought shot through her head. "I'll find that crown, daddy. I'll find it for you."
