[justanothalyehr]

"Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeelllllllllllllll," She rubbed the back of her neck. Before she could explain further, something small, blue and white ran out and after one of the chickens, shrieking in delight. The chicken was not delighted.

Heyyyyyyyy, if it isn't my favorite hero! Don't tell the kid I said that.

Uaanta had been hard at work in her garden when she heard the familiar voice. Pushing the brim of her sunhat back, she took a good look and was unsurprised to see none other than Notha Ly'ehr swaggering through the gate like she owned the place. Well, if nothing else, she had to admire the woman's confidence and... "By the Makers," Force of habit, but at her age, who could begrudge it, "How'd you get so much younger? Did yeh die again?"

Fantasy New Releases: 25 April, 2020

This week’s fantasy new releases feature Appalachian witches, sellswords-turned-usurpers, and vampire hunters more dangerous than the vampires they pursue.

Blood Creek Phantom (Blood Creek Series #3) – Jay Barnson

An army of the living and an army of the dead converge on the Crossroads, and the fate of two worlds hangs in the balance.

Sean Williams can see the ghosts of the dead rising in Maple Bend. They can see him, too—including the vengeful spirit of a serial murderer hunting him. To save Maple Bend from the plans of the Man in the White Suit, Sean must put the dead to rest—but doing so may cost him the girl who haunts his dreams.

Beyond the Crossroads, a powerful army approaches, led by the evil daughter of the Man in the White Suit. Jenny Morgan, an inexperienced witch self-exiled to this magical parallel version of West Virginia, stands with the defenders to halt a vastly superior force. But is she truly part of the last line of defense against the darkness, or is she the key to its victory?

The Faerie Trader – J. R. Castle

From the World of The Alburnium Chronicles comes another enchanting tale.

Jael Azazel’s friends describe him as a stupid faun with a big heart, but Jael respectfully disagrees. Truth is, he’s simply not been able to catch a break. What he needs is a bit of luck to get back on his hooves.

Then along comes the deal of a lifetime. With the wealth acquired, Jael sees that he will be set for life, be able to hold his head high, and hopefully win Tila’s heart.

But it’s what he doesn’t see that could land him in a world of trouble and shatter all his hopes and dreams.

Flame (Awaken Online: Tarot #2) – Travis Bagwell

Deadly competition. Deep desert. A dying tyrant.

Finn Harris was declared the Mage Guild’s champion.

However, that was only the beginning of the Emir’s competition. The next stage will send Finn and his companions deep into the desert north of Lahab in search of a long-lost relic. The magical artifact is said to be held within the Abyss.

Except, this time, he’s not just facing novice mages. Everyone in the region seems to be arrayed against him, god and man alike. Racing against the other two champions, swept into the middle of a conflict between the Emir and those he’s wronged, and at the mercy of a manipulative fire goddess, Finn must battle his way through the Abyss and claim his prize.

Yet he will not stop, and he cannot afford to fail – not with Rachael’s life hanging in the balance.

He will need to embrace his gifts and overcome his past.

Finn will need to become a true prophet of the flame.

Operation Vampire (Murphy’s War #1) – Steven G. Johnson

Mick Murphy’s an Irish half-elf from Manhattan. His best buddy, Dave, is a dwarf from Brooklyn. Along with a company of misfits, screwballs and, well, trolls from the pit, they’ll take on anything Austro-Hungaro-Roumania, or even Hell, cares to throw at them.

Assigned to King Company—the reconnaissance company—of the 134th Infantry Regiment in November of 1944, they’re the regimental reserve, the Colonel’s bodyguard, the military police, and general rock-straighteners. But once in a while, when the gremlins stop hexing their Jeeps, they go out and poke around to find out where the Enemy is and what he’s up to.

They’re very good at finding and dealing with all the vampires, werewolves, and sky demons the Enemy can throw at them. Unfortunately, though, behind them are the Big Boys, deep down in a pit of their own, and the War won’t end until G.I.s plant their boots on the Devil’s throne and kick him out.

Working their way up to this biggest of D-Days—the assault on Hell, itself—is going to tax the United States Army to its utmost…but the dogfaces on the Line are one step ahead of the brass, because they’re already halfway to Hell.

Rogue Evolution (The Rogue Dungeon #4) – James Hunter and eden Hudson

Build. Evolve. Conquer.

Welcome to the dawn of a whole new kind of monster…

Roark von Graf built a nation on the bodies of griefed players and disgruntled mobs who wanted him dead. He grinded his way up to the level cap of the Troll Evolutionary Path and made powerful underhanded alliances along the way, but even all of that isn’t enough to defeat the Tyrant King’s right-hand mage, Lowen, and the Divine armies of the most powerful dungeon in the game.

When Lowen and the Vault of the Radiant Shield go on the attack, Roark’s only hope of survival lies in the stolen World Stone Pendant and its mysterious transmutation magic. To stand a chance against the overpowered mage, he’ll have to unlock the game-changing cheat that is Mega-Evolutions.

But while Roark and his Troll Nation are entrenched in an all-out battle for survival, the Tyrant King is preparing to unleash his hidden weapon—one that will hit Roark where he’s most vulnerable…

The Usurper (Brutal #1) – James Alderdice

Introducing the Usurper King…And the Road to the Crown is paved in blood…

The Fates weave a tapestry of life and death for young Gathelaus the Sellsword. Now an unexpected opportunity presents itself for the famed mercenary, he has but to claim the blood red crown…

But once you wear the crown, how long can you hold it until that power is turned against you? Follow Gathelaus on a journey through a life of magic, action and intrigue; battling gods and monsters across a mystic realm …

The Usurper is an action-packed heroic adventure in the vein of classic pulp fiction and heroic fantasy. If you like Conan the Barbarian, The Witcher and Logen Ninefingers along with vengeful sorcery, savage duels, larger-than-life characters, and witty humor, then you’ll love James Alderdice’s barbaric tale.

Vampire Hunter D Volume 29: Noble Front – Hideyuki Kikuchi

12,090 A.D. It is a dark time for the world. Humanity is just crawling out from under three hundred years of domination by the race of vampires known as the Nobility. The war against the vampires has taken its toll; cities lie in ruin, the countryside is fragmented into small villages and fiefdoms that still struggle against nightly raids by the fallen vampires-and the remnants of their genetically manufactured demons and werewolves. Every village wants a Hunter-one of the warriors who have pledged their laser guns and their swords to the eradication of the Nobility. But some Hunters are better than others, and some bring their own kind of danger with them…

Out on the Frontier, the killers called the “Nameless” have no wanted posters–because everyone they go after winds up dead. Now D must measure his sword against these grotesque and deadly freaks!

Hired by the mayor of Schwartzen to stop a corrupt political ploy that would sacrifice human lives to appease the local Noble, Grand Duke Bergenzy, the vampire hunter arrives in town to find his client has himself dropped dead under suspicious circumstances. His widow, wanting no more bloodshed, begs D to simply forget the job–but D’s interest in the job is just beginning…

Watcher’s Test (Life in Exile #1) – Sean Oswald

This isn’t a game. This is his new life.

Dave has been wandering through life for a long time. His day job bores him and he never seems to be able to meet his family’s expectations. The only escape he’s ever had is his love of MMORPGs.

But when he becomes the subject of a test without even knowing it, he’s portaled into a game-world called Eloria with no way out. It’s a frequent daydream of his, however, in none of those dreams did his wife and daughter ever accompany him.

Now, Dave must balance protecting his family with exploring his dream… oh, and trying to stay alive. Monstrous beasts roam Eloria, worst of all, an undead army led by the vile Death Knight.

He’ll have to adapt fast and learn to cooperate if he hopes to make a new home for his family. And just maybe, along the way, he’ll find out why they’re living a life in exile.

story time

There was one time, when I was really little, that some friends and I managed to sneak out of the city limits.

We were having a great time exploring a nearby cavern system that turned out to be the lair of a- what, I think the Lhe'Shyian word for it is "dyerwurm"? We didn't know at the time of course, until we ended up right in its den. And what luck! It had just laid eggs.

But anyway, it was angry and roaring, I think we were a little in awe of how big it had gotten- we'd only ever seen the dead ones brought home, after all- but we'd all brought our training tridents, so even brooding and more aggressive than usual, it's five of us versus one big, fat worm.

We got smacked around a bit of course. Somn was nearly crushed, I got bit and had to be treated for the venom when we got home, but we were so little that our bones hadn't quite set yet so it didn't hurt all that much, and I managed to stab it right in the eye when it bit me.

The hardest part, if I remember, was butchering it. Dyerwurms get pretty big, especially the mature, egg-laying ones. We couldn't just leave the eggs to go to waste either, though we had to leave a few behind to eventually hatch into more for later.

Actually, maybe carrying it all back home was worse. There was a lot, so we had to walk rather than swim. Som cried the whole time and someone ate my share while I was being carried back, too dizzy from the venom to make my own way. One kid stayed in the back of the group a little too long; we hadn't noticed we'd left her behind, so we had to spend another hour just looking for her. I don't think she ever forgave us for that.

But we got home just fine. It was very late, and our parents had been looking for us- we were skipping class- but our instructors figured it was good, practical combat experience so we didn't get into too much trouble.

...

All this to say, did you know that you can get dyerwurm meat from Lhe'Shyian fishmongers? We got a few cuts. Never had them fried in butter before. I'm glad Dave could taste it without having to fight for it.

[valorousowlart]

a very important edit for @cherry-knight

[remthalas]

Dave squeaks at you excitedly. He's got something in his hands to show you. He opens his hands. That's a fucking Mantis shrimp. WHO GAVE THE BOY A SHRIMP THAT CAN PUNCH GOD?! You know who. Very beautiful, very powerful.

Remthalas's immediate gut response was to scream. It was by some miracle that he managed to get by with a worried squeak instead.

"Dave," He said, still internally panicking. The shrimp seemed calm but Remthalas didn't trust that one bit, even as he crouched down dangerously close to the shrimp with a large, heavy bowl. "That's not for eating. Or for playing. Could you put it in here? That's a bad shrimp. Very bad shrimp. You don't want bad shrimp, right?"

That shrimp definitely seemed to know what was up. Come to think of it, had Remthalas ever tried putting a shrimp to sleep before? Putting it to sleep might be the safest thing to do. Especially if it was one of those elementally charged mantis shrimp. Especially because it was giving him the stink-eye.

[justanothalyehr]

Any kind of food so far that made Dave react like this?

"Not in so far, but he's still in the putting everything in his mouth phase. Hang on. Wait, is he supposed to be on solids yet? .... he has teeth but does he have the gut biome for mea--Remmy! Remmy I don't know if our baby has a gut biome yet!"

[remthalas]

Congrats on fatherhood, man, I know I’m late to the party but I got your kid a toy to play with! Even doubles as a pillow.

[justanothalyehr]

*dumps a vegas buffet table worth of shrimp on ur son* Like father like son

Dave: *HIGH PITCHED SHRIEKS OF DELIGHT* [It's Raining SHRIMP! HALLELUJAH! IT'S RAINING SHRIMP]

Like Father, Like Son.

[remthalas]

So uh.... you're a dad now, how's that goin? he takes after you huh?

I'm still reeling.

I had a bit of an emotional Episode a few hours ago because the realization set in that Notha and I are responsible for raising an actual child now, on top of being pretty much the last abyssal elves on Lore, and I don't know how he's going to handle that when he's old enough to think about the implications.

I don't want him to have to think about it, not even then, but it's something he'll have to face. All I can do is prepare him for that, and let him know that even if there's no one like us, he's not alone.

...

Also! I'm going to have to try very hard not to spoil him completely, which is going to be difficult when he looks all adorable like that, and I think he knows it. The little menace. <3

[remthalas]

Who has the biggest puppy dog eyes: Dave or Clementine?

To my dismay, I went and measured the two, and Clementine wins in both sheer size and face-to-eyeball ratio.

Dave still has the winning smile, though.
