Thia lowered herself to the ground, her back against the wall. Torches burned at regular intervals, illuminating the passageway. “How far down does it go?” she asked, staring at the slope ahead. “Several miles,” Valerie responded. “Nothing is likely to disturb us. Not until we reach the Runestone Caverns themselves.” “Doesn’t matter,” Jinnaari said. “We’ll … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 71 – Hard Conversations

Jinnaari pulled his sword from the fiend’s body. Blood dripped down the blade. Stepping aside, he leaned against the rocky wall of the pass and started to clean the weapon. He wasn’t sure how far until they found the inn Valerie was leading them to. Pan and Moon were looting the corpse. He had time. … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 70 – A Marked Man

Something odd happened earlier this week. Beyond the laptop going wonky and all the strangeness of life in ground zero, that is. A memory of my trip to Scotland popped into my head and wouldn't leave. At first, I thought it was just because of how odd the sequence of events was. Then again, I'm … Continue reading On castles, Scotland, and seeing the meaning of things

Hey everyone. There may be a Murder Hobos episode later today or tomorrow morning, before the game starts. I've got one in mind, but something else is higher on the list of what I want to write currently. I've read about people who think the COVID-19 is a hoax. That the numbers are being faked, … Continue reading Because memories can be tricky things

Hey everyone! Taking a short break from The Murder Hobo stories. We're still playing, and I'll have a new episode posted tomorrow that should bring everyone current to where we'll start the game on Saturday. Let's face a simple fact. March sucked. It was full of things that NO ONE truly expected, some of which … Continue reading A Scary Start to April

“I’m going to kill him,” Pan muttered under his breath as Jinnaari was led from the great hall. “Pan, take me to our cousin. Now. I fear she’s about to do something rash.” Valerie tugged insistently at his sleeve. He tore his eyes off of the retreating paladin and looked at his sister, “Which cousin?” … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 69 – Brother and Sister

Jinnaari sat in his chair, watching the ceremony unfold to formally acknowledge Thia’s place within the family. She was quiet, as always, and unused to the attention. Then again, the last time any of her family tried to get to know her, they were down in the Underdark. And she ended up gutting her mother … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 68 – Honored Guests

The sound of feet shuffling on the floor woke Thia hours later. Opening her eyes, she caught sight of a young woman moving through a door she’d not noticed earlier. “Hello?” “Just a moment,” the woman said. “Let me put the towels down.” Pushing off the blankets, Thia froze. Blood was caked on her hands … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 67 – Family

So, today's day 10 since the company I work for closed the store. Given that our Governor closed down the state for at least 2 weeks, I've got another 11 days minimum to go. Add to that the federal government is saying to keep at social distancing through April, and it's more like 30 day. … Continue reading What normal now looks like

Thia took a deep breath and looked around the courtyard as Pan’s mother spoke with Jinnaari. A prince? And not just a prince, but the heir to the kingdom? She felt the muscles in her jaw clench. Something else he hadn’t bothered to tell her. She began to wonder just how well she knew him, … Continue reading The Murder Hobos – Episode 66 – A Homecoming
