Update #11 Tales from the Maze : Respite
almost 5 years ago
– Mon, May 27, 2019 at 10:40:56 AM
Hello Raiders of the Maze.
Here we have the continuation of the story we have been posting in the past updates and in our page Tales from the Maze
They were the weird ones. They had names, all six of them. Somehow, they remembered that. Hence, Don had nicknamed them The Named. Beatriz, Mera, and Corran were indifferent. Laruth, Karsos, and Izana either were embarrassed or wanted a new, cooler name. For all, they were The Named, period.
They had returned from an excursion. A successful one, with provisions, and rumours of where to find parts coveted by the old half-elf in charge, Don. Something for an “Ultimate Weapon”. Useless wishes, thought Corran. But they kept a sense of morale, so… it couldn’t be that bad. While he and Beatriz, the two physically fittest, carried the burlap sacks of demon meat, and closed jugs of drinkable water, and even some treasures, towards Cook, the rest spread through the Bonfire, greeting, and resuming their semblance of a life.
On one of the room’s corners, being attended by a paladin of stout stature, was a sorcerer with half his face melted away. Acid. Nasty business. Half-Face was being called as he was being tended to. “Trap or monster?” asked Beatriz, taking Corran back to reality. He blinked, and thought about it. “I hope the first”, he confessed. The thought of more acid-spitting creatures was both infuriating, and annoying. Sure, his Hellknight blade was really good at killing, but one grew wary of that after a while. Even karsos had gotten bored at looting. A thief. Bored of looting. Figure that.
“I told ya”; said Half-Face, with an eerie, raspy voice. “We should’ve thrown the bard”. Well, there’s an idea.
They reached Cook, who beckoned them to put the ingredients down. And the water someplace else, on the stashed rations. “How was the hunt?” he asked as the the two Named ones did so. Demon emat was cut, and wrapped in leather. Different pieces. Steaks, ribcages, entre-côtes, you name it, they had a piece of it. Or several. Enough for around a week of food. They did good. And it may be a certain somebody’s influence, but Corran smiled at that thought. The water came in metallic jugs, designed and forged by the Blacksmith to carry any sort of non-corrosive liquid.
“You tell us, Cook”, said Beatriz, her smile matching her armor. The rugged fighter scratched where his newest scar was, the bridge of the nose, and left the one with social graces to take hold. “Well, I’ll be”, said the other half-elf, watching at the bounty. “You are on your way to become legends, darlings”, he said, pinching their cheeks. “Now, off you go, I have magic to work on”.
On their way to where Don was, Corran felt his hand being held by Beatriz. He gave her a soft squeeze, and felt himself smiling. “You seem in good spirits”; she teased, nudging him with her shoulder. To be cheesy and full of honey? Hm. Judging by how Laruth was grinning ear to ear with a smile, that was a no. “Besides the obvious?” he replied, “I think i figured out how to shut up Laruth for a while”.
“Oh, do tell?”
“Just throw the bard”.
Life was an unbelievable pile of hot, steaming mess, specially in The Maze. Monsters, The Red Queen, The Black King, traps, amnesia, new recruits, having your face melted, all of that stuff was just utter piss. Useful like an arsehole on the elbow, and just as pleasant. However, if Beatriz was any sign, sometimes things could be good. Specially with some schadenfreude to keep a know-it-all bard in check. Life was hard. You had to stir and work to make said crap chocolate.

We have found the map for the chambers of Nell Raban and Daniel Ortiz and now we can venture further down on this raid. The next one has the map to the chambers of the following authors. This chamber will be unlocked if we get to 2,500.00$ USD or 50,000.00 MXN.
Amr "ammourazz" El-Azizi. (They/them)
Amr "ammourazz" El-Azizi is a computer engineer and mathematician, who likes to bring as little of the latter into their game-design as possible. They also do writing and podcasting. Keep an eye out for their upcoming Powered by the Apocalypse projects, such as the genre blending Chimera RPG and the Urban Fantasy Mystery Between the Margins, which explores the interactions between identities and perspectives. You can also hear their voice on Voices at Play and The Musafirs podcasts.
Jason Pitre (He/Him).

Each of the chambers will be unique to them and inside there could be more dangers, resources, special materials or artifacts or maybe even a rare and tranquil location.
