Vivienne VO: Peace was not an easy thing to reach, of course. We agreed early on that there would be no true recompense for all who had died, but we could start with those who died during the winter. We got the armies to help bury the dead and make a tribute to their families. … Continue reading Ceasefire 20: Of Peace

Ceasefire Episode 19: The Ceasefire
Vivienne: It was a long, hard winter. We started rationing our food almost immediately and even then, it was hard . Firewood didn't last long so we had to get creative to keep warm. Turns out hellfire-heated stones are good for warming a space, even if the heat doesn’t spread far. It’s terrible for cooking, … Continue reading Ceasefire Episode 19: The Ceasefire
Ceasefire Episode 18: The Wrath of Kings
Vivienne: Between the four of us, it did not take long to find what we were looking for. The druidess knew what signs to look for and once we were in the right area we were able to find the first one within the hour. The route was cleverly disguised but easy enough to follow … Continue reading Ceasefire Episode 18: The Wrath of Kings
Ceasefire Episode 17: The Meeting Place
Vivienne VO: The scientist was gone by the time we left the following morning, hopefully to join up with a traveling camp that could get him out of the forest safely. As for us, James had found a letter that he believes was written by the man who originally owned this place. That or it … Continue reading Ceasefire Episode 17: The Meeting Place
Ceasefire Episode 16: The Laboratory Part 2
Sam VO: To say it was unexpected was an understatement to say in the least. I was worried Viv might take him out then and there, and from the look on his face, he was almost certain of it. He made no attempt to run, though. He had the look of a man who accepted … Continue reading Ceasefire Episode 16: The Laboratory Part 2
Ceasefire Episode 15: The Laboratory Part 1
Sam VO: Do you want me to take this next part? Vivienne VO: No, thank you. This is my story to tell. Sam VO: Of course, but I can tell the other part if you'd rather wait. I know you still had some things you wanted to do today anyway. Vivienne VO: I'm good to … Continue reading Ceasefire Episode 15: The Laboratory Part 1
Ceasefire Episode 14: The Marketplace Part 2
Sam VO: Oh, I recognize that tone. Is it my turn to share my part of the story? Vivienne VO: You could tell the rest of the story if you really wanted to. Sam VO: No, no. We agreed that we would take turns and now it's your turn. I shall content myself with my … Continue reading Ceasefire Episode 14: The Marketplace Part 2
Ceasefire Episode 13: The Marketplace Part 1
Vivienne: After the creature fell, we took some time to collect ourselves and James shared his story. I will admit, I was surprised to hear he came from a family of well-known weaponsmiths. Looking back there were some signs of his more noble upbringing that I had brushed off as a general lack of experience. … Continue reading Ceasefire Episode 13: The Marketplace Part 1
Ceasefire Episode 12: The Hunter
Vivienne VO: Hey James. James! I know you can hear me. Get your arse down here, it's time for your part of the story. James VO: (distant) I’m coming, I’m coming. Just give me a second. (footsteps as James approaches) Sorry, I was in the middle of packing. Vivienne VO: Excuses excuses. Now sit down … Continue reading Ceasefire Episode 12: The Hunter
Ceasefire Episode 11: The Crossroads Part 2
Vivienne: I told you of the twisted fae. Those soldiers who delved too far into the dark magic in order to gain more power and ended up losing themselves to its corruption. It was not an overly common thing, for it tended to cost their army more than one soldier when the creature would start … Continue reading Ceasefire Episode 11: The Crossroads Part 2
