I just finished a chapter of VI · 6:05am Jul 11th, 2016
A link to the WIP can be found in the Weed World forums. Feel free to have a look.
I don't think my editor is awake at this time of night, so the chapter will probably be posted in the morning sometime. It's a bit rough no doubt, but it reads well, and I finally get a chance to introduce Cranberry, which I've been dying to do.
Ever notice that in adventuring stories, that the intrepid adventurer (or adventurers if they are a party) hardly ever run into fellow adventurers? It's like they are the only company of adventurers trying to save the countryside from evil bandits and foul monsters. That bothers me that adventure stories have so few adventurers.
Hmm. Reminds me of some D&D games I had with old friends. That world was ripe with adventurers of all sorts, but the vast majority didn't have the sort of plot armor main characters typically have. So, in our campaigns, it was very common to see the remains of other adventuring parties that were slain at some point. Although, we came to fear/respect any adventurers we encountered still living in this world who had been at it longer than a year-anyone that could survive that long in the typical adventurer life style was a badass that would likely kick our asses at the first wrong move.
