In the magical world of Domhan, those with the courage and the skill often find themselves enlisting with one of the many Adventurer's Guilds. From hunting monsters and dealing with unruly bandit hordes, to seeking forgotten treasures and braving the darkest tombs. Either for a price or simply for the prospect of treasure and renown, these guilds handle jobs that most would consider far too dangerous.

One down on its luck guild, the Dependable Blades, is about to find itself with a new member from a very different world. Follow the exploits of former Night Guard, Amber Shine, and her new allies as they face off against rival guilds, vicious monsters and a deadly threat that if not stopped, will find its way to Equestria next.


This story is inspired by all my years spent playing table top RPGs, such as Dungeons and Dragons as well as Pathfinder. Cover art done by the amazingly talented Zeurel.

Update: Zeurel has been kind enough to do a rendition of the rest of the team Check it out here

Awesome start for the story :pinkiehappy:
Can't wait for the next chapter.
I take it was the first time for Amber when she killed for real ? It seems she is for nasty breakdown when adrenaline rush ends.
P.S.: I hope starting this new story does not mean abandoning the smuggler ?

That story is still on hiatus for the time being. For now though, I've gone back to my writing roots and started playing around with good old fashioned sword and shield fantasy.

Well, I wish this new story to bring you new inspiration boost so we will see both of them completed in the future :twilightsheepish:

Very interesting story you got here Doc. I am definitely looking forward to seeing more in the future!

“I really hope you can fix this, Burney, because this is going to be one hell of an incident report!”

Good to see your priorities are in the right place Sergeant. :ajbemused:

I liked this chapter. Plenty of funnys and gonna see some action soon. Can't wait.

Is Domhan a world you yourself have created? Because I like those kinds of stories.

4472552
As a matter of fact, it is. The world as a whole is based off all the places I've been to and all the characters I've either played or met in my years of table top gaming. I just took it all and smooshed it all together into one big world.

4473153 Interesting. I've always been a fan of authors who can create their own worlds. (No-brainer, of course, because that is what authors do. It's fairly unique on this site, though)

'Read Later' for now. (Got a few favs to clear out first)

4474968 Aye, well, when you do, feel free to make use of the comment button. Critique helps to improve the story as a whole.

4493880 Best was to employ a goblin and not have him eating his teammates.

Awesome chapter, and the ending was even awesomer. :rainbowdetermined2: That goblin and cookies.. it's almost cute.

"Heck, I’ve even heard rumors of weird bipedal things wandering out of there and trying to make off with mares from the local village.”

What you did there, I see it. :pinkiegasp:

4660370
Yeah, was hoping someone would spot that :pinkiehappy:.

:twilightsmile:
So you are going to leave us wandering what is in the bag for next several weeks, huh?
I suppose there will be some key to another mystery, am I right?

4660431
Naw, not this time. The Pulp Fiction trick only really works for the other story. You'll get to see what they found as soon as the next chapter is done.

Soo... where did the badass 'knight' dude go? Or is he dust, now?

Speaking of shock magic, that's my favorite. I love electrocuting my enemy's to death, so much fun. :pinkiecrazy:

Edit: Oh, and awesome chapter, Doc.

4661643
Dude add those dice rolls up, two sources of blunt damage AND two Shocking Grasps technically all with flanking. You know that's gotta be a bad day for that guy.

No comments? Interesting.

Well anyway, I'd say this is quite an interesting development.

4813345
I know right. I'm a little sad that the chapter where we get to know everyone is the one with the least love.

So how boot them cliffhangers, Doc? :p

Caught up late on this story, but I think you have a gem here. I can't wait for more!

Yeeeeeeeeah, things have hit a snag in the form of Google docs more or less shitting the bed. Next part's written up, just having trouble with my proof reader's edits sticking around long enough for me to upload them.

Hmmm, now this is gettin' interestin'!

Can't wait for more!! :pinkiehappy:

I held off as long as I could Doc. I really tried this time. But your writing is too good. Too entertaining.

I was going to object to how quickly she accepted a completely new and different world - until I realized: 1. She was very very very bored in her world 2. She read a lot of fantasy fiction.

Kiiiiinda hit some writer's block then wandered back over to Star Wars.

5288159

Ahh, I see. Thats perfect, well, it sucks you hit writers block, but I just started reading Smuggler and a Princess.

The little guy looks like crash bandicoot...

just saiyan...

:moustache:

5288159 Hit it with a sledgehammer! :flutterrage: Seriously, if you asked this to a bunch of groups and published a new chapter, you might easily get to a hundred likes! And make a bunch of people happy. :pinkiehappy:
