Melpomene's Espers? Ha! Let me know how that goes, and after that let me know when you find Atlantis and Jimmy Hoffa!
The city guard used to be crooked as a frendleback tree, then the society popped up. I miss the good old days when you could bribe a grunt to look the other way. It's hard and dangerous to be in the black arts now.

CodexHalflings are a people without a home. They wander through the kingdoms of taller races, never staying to long in one location, always searching for a place to make their own.
Request AdviceNightmares upon the battlefield. Once thought defeated, rumors of their return have begun to spread.
S-S-S-S-S-S-SHING! The front wave of the enemy line was flattened, knocked down as if by Upuaut's own scythe. S-S-S-S-S-S-SHING! I stole another glance back, and there was Sana Avennia, staggering forward, shaking her flail at the enemy line. The bronze links rang, and damn me for a civvie if it wasn't a sweeter sound than temple bells. "Eyes forward, Gwythar," the wizard hissed, wiping the blood from her mouth with her free hand.

The Zhantil Tribe sorcerer advanced another step, shaking his staff and barking out guttural Words of Power. We felt the shockwave hit us, clawing at our minds ... and damn us if we didn't all groan aloud, feeling the weight of the Muircroinim's will on us. He was a tough enough foe by himself -- too bad for us he had a dozen armed tribesmen in front of him, just waiting for us to falter before his powers to rip out our lives with their spears.

She gave me a sprightly wave, a second glowing sphere of ice in her hand, and looked around for more targets.

Quietly, Deb-Lu-Quienyin said, “I do not think they heard your call, San.” The exquisite irony of that formal salutation was not lost on us - nor on the Wizard of the Moder.
He peered closely at Quienyin. “You -“ he said, and his words were a thick choke. “You are ...”
“Yes.”
This - thing - had caused us great grief. It had set traps for us, riddles, hurled occult monsters upon us, tortured us. Now it stood there, slashing its staff about, mewling, fiery-eyed ... and helpless in the grip of those awesome powers of a Wizard of Loh.
