Yes, I thought it was slowly moving from medievil to... say, early rennesiance-ish period.
BFG: Big Fucking Gun. It's from Doom.

I didn't until recently. A lot of people haven't played Doom.
"Everyone" doesn't know it.

Somebody from the Doom team owes Roald Dahl an explanation.

Victory is mine
Just started to play arc I over again...as good as ever :D
I was working on my E-zine article when I found these two pieces tucked away in my computer's documents. I wrote them for two different writing contests (both of which I won, thanks very much. :D Though for the first one, I was the only entrant...). Still, they concern the backstory of Master of the Wind and feature characters you may see in later arcs!
I posted these on .net, but we didn't have this oh so convenient spoiler tag. Mina's Reckoning is 15 pages, and Stay of Execution is about 12, so keep that mind if you decide to check them out. Enjoy!

The first thing Mina Lolian noticed as she opened her eyes was that she was in a lot less pain. The world looked blurry for several moments, but slowly drifted back into focus. She was back in her hometown of Harrol now. Her last memory was being struck in the chest by a dark magic spell. She recalled her breath being taken away from her as she fell backwards onto the earth. She looked to her right and saw a hooded figure sitting on a stool near her bed. She was in the infirmary, and this person was a cleric.
"Good," the cleric said, "You're awake." Mina recognized the voice. It was Ancil, a priest from her church.
"What…what happened?"
"Monicon's army ultimately couldn't get past our defenses," Ancil responded, "and after you were hurt, we all fought harder than ever."
Mina intended to ask more questions, but then she saw an imposing dark figure in the doorway. Ancil watched the movement of her eyes and then turned his head around.
"You have a visitor," Ancil said, and then motioned for the figure to enter. As he came into the light, Mina's jaw dropped. It was a dragoon. She had never seen one before, but she had certainly heard enough descriptions to recognize this newcomer. Dragoons were men with the wings and powers of dragons. The guest had been forced to fold his wings in order to fit through the doorway, but now he could let them expand. Dressed in dark red armor and a horned helmet, this dragoon set his sword and shield down on the floor near Mina's bed. She noticed that the sheath was adorned with multiple trinkets and inscriptions.
"I am Seth," the dragoon finally said.
"Hello," Mina said quietly.
"This is she?" Seth asked, looking at Ancil. He nodded.
"What's going on?" Mina asked.
"I arrived here a few moments ago," Seth answered, "I asked to see Harrol's strongest warrior. I was led here." Mina felt some embarrassment upon hearing this. In comparison to this towering dragoon, she surely must have looked feeble. Her face revealed her youth; her eyes were a gentle blue and her hair was the color of a violet. She pulled it back and tied it behind her head, but it did not make her look any more fearsome.
"They tell me this town has been menaced by a necromancer and his minions," Seth continued, "and that you lead the battles."
"I do," Mina answered, "There are two necromancers, not one. The leaders are a human named Monicon and a half-griffin named Torhav."
Seth raised an eyebrow, which to Mina's relief, made him less intimidating. "A half-griffin?"
"Griffins often wander the world disguised as humans for long periods of time," Mina explained, "Sometimes they breed with humans. The result looks like a combination of man and bird. It happens more often than you might think."
Seth chuckled. "It would seem you are very knowledgeable."
Mina smiled. She felt silly for being afraid of Seth when he had entered.
Seth motioned to the door. "Let us talk further outside. I grow tired
of these cramped quarters."
Mina looked at Ancil. "You will be fine," he said, "I have done my work. Just don't strain yourself for a while."
"Thank you, Ancil." She placed her hand on his shoulder as she stepped out of bed. Grabbing her spear from against the wall, she and Seth left the infirmary.
As she had countless times before, Mina sighed with despair as she looked upon her hometown. Once a thriving city full of business, Harrol had sadly degenerated into a withered shell of itself. As the attacks by Monicon's army grew worse, dozens of citizens had left, leaving behind homes that were slowly falling apart. Shopkeepers often didn't bother to even go to their stores because traders were avoiding the area. All the money the town did have went towards defending it against the undead.
"I'm told you also know magic," Seth said.
"Yes," Mina smiled, "Wind magic. It's been in my family for
generations."
"An honorable school of sorcery," Seth responded, "It makes you light and nimble. Difficult to hit."
"Difficult," Mina said, "but not impossible." The pain in her chest was faint now, but still there.
"You won the last battle, did you not?"
"That's what Ancil said," Mina answered, "I'm sure it was because we saw them coming." She pointed to several watchtowers and the town's gate, which was fitted with numerous arrow towers.
"I take it Monicon does not attack with subtlety," Seth grinned.
Mina laughed. "Not at all! He tends to be fairly theatrical in terms of his battle strategy. He can't resist having us look upon his advancing army as it comes to destroy our town. It's the only advantage we have."
Seth and Mina stood by the gate for several moments. He was slowly taking in the scenery. The town might have suffered, but the beautiful river that ran through town and the stunning mountains in the distance had not.
"This is a beautiful home you have," Seth said, "It is worth defending."
"You know," Mina said abruptly, "I've never met a dragoon before."
"Not surprising," Seth replied, "I am the last.â€ÂÂ
"Good," the cleric said, "You're awake." Mina recognized the voice. It was Ancil, a priest from her church.
"What…what happened?"
"Monicon's army ultimately couldn't get past our defenses," Ancil responded, "and after you were hurt, we all fought harder than ever."

so yeah volrath....you thinking about doing another storyline? I know they take you awhile to write, (understandably) but were you planning on writing another part to the story any time soon?
The idea of turning Clean Slate into a complete novel goes on and off again in my head...though I do have about 10 pages of it done. Those stories would be placed in around the middle somewhere if this ever happened.
I'm not sure if I would write a third story to show on this thread, though. I guess if there was a lot of demand. For now, we're trying to get Arc III farther along.

I'm having a bit of trouble finding the number I need to use for multiplication in the Mansion. Any advice? I think I've searched every object in the house by now.
EDIT:
Never mind, I got it. That was tricky!

So there is more after Acr III? Arc IV or some other title?

Thanks for the kind words, J.D. If we have some part in spurring some productivity on these forums, I'll be a very happy camper.

We have seven arcs planned. That's quite a workload, but we don't see ourselves puttering out anytime soon. Once all that's done...who knows?

Hey, there! I found a set of passability errors with Arc I; I don't know if you plan on releasing an updated version, but this may prove useful!
So far, so good! I'm impressed!
Oh, wait! I remembered another error!
Peace, and good luck with the rest of your games!
The spooky, dark castle where Andau flies right after the girls' slumber party... You know the small building to the right with the altar and chests on the first floor, and a basement underneath? When you are right below the chests, some of them allow you to walk on them, particularly those on the left side.
So far, so good! I'm impressed!
Oh, wait! I remembered another error!
In the first place you fight Andau, there are several levels that you can fall through. The red chest on the 2nd level where the roof key is located... when the character is standing right above it, there is a strange transparancy effect, almost as if you meant to have a fire there; looks like the player is standing in a mild fog for no apparent reason...
Peace, and good luck with the rest of your games!
