If you ever are unsure the difference between the stats: Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma... this is how my GM described them;

"Intelligence is knowing that a tomato is a fruit.
Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad.
Charisma is being able to sell a tomato fruit salad as salsa to others."]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 11 Sep 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shade of Pawns 14 - Party Planning]]></title><link>shadowedlegacies.com/dnd-blog/shade-of-pawns-14/</link><description><![CDATA[Entry 14
31st of Sydenstar

I’m resting in the chair Ren had been occupying moments before when his wounds were still his own.  Charlie came flying down the stairs and landed on my knee. I took the note from him then reattached him to his chain making him a pendant again.

Tetra was at least alive it seemed.  The note is written in blood, “Tongue removed.  Held in basement of Castellum. Assassins. Help”

Well, either she really needed our help, or it was a set-up with her as bait.  We had the]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 04 Sep 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shade of Pawns 13 - Heat]]></title><link>shadowedlegacies.com/dnd-blog/shade-of-pawns-13/</link><description><![CDATA[Journal  Entry 13
30th of Sydenstar - 2am

The city was unnaturally quiet.  We made our way easily to the rendezvous… only to see three guys ganging up on one of the kids of the Green Hand…. Not in the mood I moved silently up behind the talker and leaned against his back almost seductively.  He was a thin guy with too many weapons hanging on him. He had a couple of thug companions. He, himself, had three stars tattooed on his face designating his threat level to the community..

I slid my arm]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 28 Aug 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shade of Pawns 12 - Between Dwarves and Elves]]></title><link>shadowedlegacies.com/dnd-blog/shade-of-pawns-12/</link><description><![CDATA[Journal Entry 12
29th of Sydenstar

We hole up in an alleyway two blocks from Teszi’s.  Sif sleeps first, as it’s been a while since either of us rested.  I was still too worked up to sleep right away, so first watch was perfect for me.  He needed the rest more, as he had used his power and needed to regain the power. It seemed he only got it back after fully resting each time he used it.  To be honest I’d rather him sleep and me be tired. His power had saved me multiple times already. Even]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 21 Aug 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shade of Pawns 11 - Thoughts of Murder]]></title><link>shadowedlegacies.com/dnd-blog/shade-of-pawns-11/</link><description><![CDATA[Journal Entry 11 since returning.
28th of Sydenstar

As a reminder to myself, Trey’s birthday party was being held the 31st.  Two days from what happened on this day. This day that changed me forever.

After letting Charlie fly Sif and I went back out into the city.  We set up a position to watch the Command Post where Lady Aileen and Ren were.  The place was well organized. If we had to sneak in, it wouldn’t be easy by any means.  There were small buildings and tents organized and well kept.]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 14 Aug 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shade of Pawns 10 - The Color of Money]]></title><link>shadowedlegacies.com/dnd-blog/shade-of-pawns-10/</link><description><![CDATA[Journal Entry 10
Events of the 28th of Sydenstar

Damnit, I missed Felicity.  She’d have been able to help me in the blink of an eye and a flourish of her shawl.  I knew it was time to look confident though. No time to lose face. I’d gotten pretty good at pretending to be confident, and had no doubts I could continue to do so.  

So, what was I going to do about a dress?  Fuuuccckkk… even now thinking back on that day, I still groan over the fact that I decided, sitting there with the Sif-woman]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 07 Aug 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shade of Pawns 9 - Ruffled Feathers]]></title><link>shadowedlegacies.com/dnd-blog/shade-of-pawns-9/</link><description><![CDATA[Journal Entry 9

There we were, facing off against the Dayspring Empire.  The twelve Empire guards all with crossbows and swords ready.  The Wig holding a really large crossbow as if in over-compensation.  Then finally, the Fist, strategically placed around Sif and I. While the numbers were against us, I knew the members of the Fist surrounding me.  I knew what they could do, and I knew what I would do to protect them.

Odd right?  That I was more worried about protecting them than myself at]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jul 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shade of Pawns 8 - Beyond the Mask]]></title><link>shadowedlegacies.com/dnd-blog/shade-of-pawns-8/</link><description><![CDATA[Journal Entry 8
Nope, still haven’t found out the date.

There we were, looking out over the Tent City, as I decided to call it.  Tens of thousands of refugees filled the rolling plains and rocky outcroppings.  There were all races that I could see from the edge, but mostly they were Human.

I could tell the entire area was on edge without even having to walk from one side to the other.  We were in the middle of multiple wars, and beasts and bandits...oh my! Hopefully nothing crazy was going to]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 17 Jul 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shade of Pawns 7 - Entangled]]></title><link>shadowedlegacies.com/dnd-blog/shade-of-pawns-7/</link><description><![CDATA[Journal Entry 7
One of these days I will get the actual date…..maybe.

I believe I left off the recollection of what transpired with me running to meet up with Tetra, Kai, Twin One and Sif at the graveyard with Pinky over my shoulder and Ren on my heels.

When Ren and I finally made it to the graveyard the scene that awaited me was not one I was expecting.  Sif was standing there mouth open; which was a dead giveaway that he just got there himself. Twin One was breathing heavily and also looking]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 10 Jul 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shade of Pawns 6 - Cracks]]></title><link>shadowedlegacies.com/dnd-blog/shade-of-pawns-6/</link><description><![CDATA[Journal -

Where did I leave off last night?  Oh yes… Sif trying desperately to warn Jackson, Ren and the others of our impending doom.  The ambush by the Fallen Races (Those who have lost their Chosen) whom I shall forever know now as the Clean Slate.. Since that’s their battle cry.  

Now, Jackson is Human.  His hearing isn’t all that great and none of these people have seen Sif’s power at work.  His ability is to step back in time to get a “do-over” as it were. I have, and it’s saved my life]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 26 Jun 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shade of Pawns 5 - The Voluntary Captive]]></title><link>shadowedlegacies.com/dnd-blog/shade-of-pawns-5/</link><description><![CDATA[Journal Entry 5
Oh just fuck it.  

I’m continuing to write these to record the true happenings going on around me.  When it’s all said and done only the “truth” decided by the power that wins the larger battle will be known.

Rumors going around that I have heard so far that are NOT true.

1. I kidnapped an elven princess.
 -- No I rescued her.. There’s a HUGE difference.  I tracked her for fucking days! Some appreciation that I didn’t let your royalty die would be in order don’t you think?

We’re moving deeper and deeper into the ruins of the dead Dragonkind.  I keep having to surface memories to focus my mind on as we go further and further into the depths to keep from thinking about the feeling of pressure at the idea of so much stone and earth surrounding me.

The size of the caverns and road help, but as we go the road becomes more and more narrow.  I can literally feel the weight of the mountain pressing in on]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 29 May 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shade of Pawns 3 - The Tenative Alliance]]></title><link>shadowedlegacies.com/dnd-blog/shade-of-pawns-3/</link><description><![CDATA[Journal Entry 3
… you know I will really have to ask someone what the damned date is.  Visiting a Goddess really throws off one’s perspective of time.

So, I woke up today to Ulysses wanting to talk.  Easily done. I scratch at the confetti, excited that as soon as I am not rushing I will get this off of me.  Likely I will leave some around my left wrist to cover with a bracer.. In case I need to show proof that I passed the trials.

Ulysses pulls me off to the side.  His eyes are worried, and I]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 08 May 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shade of Pawns 2 - In the Green]]></title><link>shadowedlegacies.com/dnd-blog/shade-of-pawns-2/</link><description><![CDATA[Journal Entry - 2 months after Divine Greeting, 1 week from leaving Rao

I wake this morning and glance at Sif.  He is still asleep, and I can only take a deep breath to steady myself.  My hands are shaking again. Changebringer let me get control of myself!

Why can’t I control my emotions? My heart weighs so heavily in my chest.  Rao hinted that my death before the God’s Moot will turn me into some sort of monster to roam the world, a remnant of the Wood Elves and our Goddess’ loss in the]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 01 May 2018 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shade of Pawns 1 - Torn Asunder]]></title><link>shadowedlegacies.com/dnd-blog/shade-of-pawns-1/</link><description><![CDATA[Journal Entry… shit…. 1 I guess.

I don’t even know the true date anymore.  I am whispering this story on the winds for my people to hear.  To know the truth of what happened.

So much has happened.  So much is still going to happen. It has been a very long time since I last wrote in this book.  While what happened before is umbelievably important, it is no where near as important as the things happening now, and what is to come. Here is the gist of what’s happened to me so far, though likely I]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 01 Aug 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ayla Mihr - Backstory]]></title><link>shadowedlegacies.com/dnd-blog/shade-of-pawns-bg/</link><description><![CDATA[Prelude: What Came Before

Ayla lifts the purse of gold from the table before her.  She weighs it in her fingers, letting the heaviness tell her that there was indeed fifty gold coins in it.  She looks up at the cloaked figure sitting across the wooden table. The cloak shrouds all aspects of the figure.  It’s of a medium build, slouched so she isn’t even sure how tall he, or she, would be if they stood correctly. She can guess that they’d be of a medium height from her experiences in dealing]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 25 Jul 2017 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
