/gallery/image.php?album_id=143&image_id=4097 The PSF
New Subforums
So, one of the things that has changed in the new site is that the new PSF is visible to everyone. This provides us an opportunity and so, this morning I've created some subforums in there - for completed / approved threads....
The Website: Standing Trials ( / ), referred to through the rest of this thread as the website , our website , the site , our site , Standing Trials , and Trials .
You: The person reading these words right now.
The Staff: All users who are identified as...
It truly was a terrible thing, seeing a book in such condition. Straight edges of parchment warped and charred, precious knowledge eaten away and wiped out forever. Cover twisted and frozen forever in a weird, bubbled sort of texture, where the...
/gallery/image/17799/medium 23rd Cylus, 720.....
Vega was scouting the stormlands with a group of volunteers and knights. The knight in question who was in charge was, in Vega's opinion, an unmitigated asshat. He and she had not got off to a good start. As they had got ready, she'd made sure to...
5 Cylus 720 | Mathias Blackwood | Storm's Edge
It had been a long trial in Storm's Edge for Mathias who had been at work since he arrived early in the unlit morning. First he'd met a plethora of strange but interesting figures, then they'd been attacked, then he'd gone to practice some archery so...
Well then why did you send them into town? Mathias asked without any attempt to cover up the irritation in his voice. Clayton had come to him with news that he'd just returned from a supply run to discover that there was no space left to store the...
20 Cylus 720 | Mathias Blackwood | Storm's Edge: Outside the Gate
It was just another trial in the hellscape known as Storm's Edge for Mathias. He stood just outside the gates to Storm's Edge with a few other volunteers who were each armed with their weapon of choice. Mathias had his bow in his...
The bandage was showing some stain of red at the outer wrappings, but that didn’t necessarily worry the young healer. She stood next to the young knight looked at him and said. “I am going to check on this.” She said firmly to the knight as he stood at gate duty. He looked at her in...
When first under fire an' you're wishful to duck,
Don't look nor take 'eed at the man that is struck,
Be thankful you're livin', and trust to your luck
And march to your front like a soldier.
The man they called Karim looked about the courtyard and sighed. Fates, is...
There was a sound like the end of the world, and screaming followed it. That was the first thing the man they all called Karim heard when he was wrenched out of sleep.
He had his sword in hand before his senses were fully about him and the room...
Call for reinforcements #1 The Mission
Cylus 7 of 720 - Storm's Edge
The way the situation was developing made it clear that they needed reinforcements. Yrmellyn had debated with herself about how she best could contribute right now. Should she stay as a...
Cylus 12th 720
On the way home from this
They were making their way back from a very successful supply run. Vega was more than pleased with what they had and, in fact, they'd
got so much that they'd split into two groups to make sure that they got everything back. Two wagons, both overflowing...
Gennadiya slipped from her horse and mustered all of her determination to keep from swaying as her feet hit the ground. The Lysorian was a city dweller and usually rode in a carriage or wagon when a horse was involved in the equation. She had ridden a few times but never enough to...
Dan woke all at once to the sound of strange hooves - far too many hooves - closing in on his camp on the edge of Mistral Wood. He slid out of his bedroll and off the crude platform that kept him off the frozen ground, snatching up his...
Lookout from the Towers
4th Cylus 720 at Storms Edge
Yrmellyn Cole was worthless at direct battle but she hoped she would be able to support the defenders of Storm’s Edge with information and early warnings. Her general ability to detect things was well...
Not a little bit tired, just plain, old fashioned, absolutely exhausted. She had not slept for she didn't know how many trials, and she had finally started to understand the meaning of the word power nap - she caught a half-break...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=13330 2nd Trial of Cylus during Arc 720
Right, so what we're gonna do then, Vega said, well aware that she was being bossy but largely not caring either, is we're gonna find ourselves some small, an' non-big, flamethings - or beasts generally, I guess....
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=10183 4th of Cylus
Arc 720
I bloody hate Cylus, Vega grumbled, grabbing her bow and making her way out to the practice field. I mean, it might as well be th'middle o'the night an' all. An' it's the stupid fault o'my stupid sperm-makin' idiot. She refused...
Easy lads, don't break something. Take it slow Varlum said, helping a small group move supplies. While the Ithecal wasn't one to show off, he also had to ensure they got this done as quickly as possible, leading Varlum to carry much...
Mathias tightened Hound's saddle to his body and pat the side of the horse. He wasn't great at handling the beast, nor was he very much of a rider, but Mathias treated Hound better than he often treated people out of habit. People could go from...

21 Zi'da 708
Continued from here
Dan followed the bank of the stream, one eye out for possible food and fuel, the other for the track he remembered. He stopped once to pick a handful of late berries from a bush, and again to gather a cattail root,...
Faith was irritated. Irritated, tired, without any respite or rest and she was close - perilously close, she knew - to breaking point. The weight of responsibility on her - and the sheer size of what she was doing was so...
1 Cylus 720 | Mathias Blackwood | The Stormlands
The unusually warm Cylus weather was a gift that Mathias wasn't quite appreciating. He thought only of the unpredictable storms and the hazardous hail that rained down from time to time, forcing him and the other volunteers to retreat beneath trees...
4 Cylus 720 | Mathias Blackwood | Storm's Edge
It was early in the morning on the fourth of Cylus when Mathias and the group of volunteers he was traveling with arrived at Storm's Edge and found the situation was far worse than they'd imagined it. Well worse than most of them had imagined it....
Cail walked around the ship looking around for her rod and bait. She wanted to work on some fishing with Paige, the child had been bragging about her skills. It was a shame to say that the Biqaj was far behind where her skills should have been. Though...
/gallery/image.php?album_id=189&image_id=6419 1st Trial of Cylus during Arc 720
Location: Storm's Edge
I don't know why yer laughin' Vega said, her elbow digging into him. That's what Huw told me. A Snafu is a small land-animal, what don't get seen much, Arlo knew his wife too well to think that...
