OG: Interlude: Jig-Jig Street Casino Assault

The Tyger Claws Jig-Jig Street Casino was actually pretty difficult to get to if you were one of their Enemies. It was located in the back room of Jig-Jig Street of the Sea Bar, in a place you'd have to pass through the most heavily patrolled area of Jig-Jig Street to get to. You'd be up to your ass in Tyger Claws Gangoons before you even managed to sniff the Sea Bar. Though Judy Alvarez and Rita Wheeler were taking a sizable number of Enforcers to Slammit On with the Tyger Claws, they didn't...

MM: Chapter 54

We had been walking for some time through these inner tunnels, a couple of hours at least. Ironically, for all his blather about being the more powerful Sorcerer, Mors Cruentia seemed to have overlooked the mundane work of packing a lunch. I couldn't help but grin at that, as I grabbed the box of Speķrauši and bottle of Birch Sap Lemonade I'd purchased from the Bakery in Riga and had my own lunch. Mors Cruentia frowned at seeing that, but I didn't care. I was hungry, and even if it cost us ...

IS: Images for Chapter Sixty-Eight

Here we have the Images for the Last Chapter. I think they turned out all right, but it's weird to me that some of the AI Generators I use also AI Generate stuff like Trademarks or Signatures. It makes me think that maybe I'd be better off not using them, but then you guys wouldn't get nearly so many images to go with the chapters.

At any rate, the next chapter will involve Susie's Conversation with Katrina, and also have Jozef actually popping the question on the Proposal over breakfas...

BBG: Images for Chapter Thirty-Three

So here we have the images for the last chapter. I originally only had the two new ships and their captains on here, but then realised that I'd never actually shown you guys what the Tuskrunner looks like in any previous image dumps, and quickly whipped up an image of it as well.

At any rate, the next chapter will include the fleet action off the coast of Cadfael Island, where the Allied Fleet and the Umberlant Fleet duke it out. Then we'll have a Chapter where Robar and Compa...

OG: Images For Hotel Vladivostok Assault

So here we have the images for the last chapter. I was actually pretty happy about these ones. I think putting in actors into the prompt has helped. For example, Pavel Ivanovich Kublanov had me typing in 'Ian McNeice as a Russian Mafia Boss' as part of the prompt, and that turned out well. I'm probably gonna keep doing that, so keep an eye out for my fan casting lol.

At any rate, the next chapter will cover the Mox's attack on the Tyger Claws' Jig-Jig Street Casino, then we'll be back w...

IS: Chapter 68

Katrina and I had a great day full of various activities planned. For starters, horseback riding along Hvitstrand Beach, near the planetary ocean North of Ny Roskilde. The White Sand of Hvitstrand Beach left hoofprints in the wake of the pair of galloping horses that we rode around on, racing each other to and from various landmarks, satisfying the thrillseeker in both of us. I grinned and laughed as we kicked up sand in the process, Katrina matching my energy as we raced toward our most rece...

OG: Hotel Vladivostok Assault

The Hotel Vladivostok was situated near where Japantown and Charter Hill met, out near Japantown South, close to Dark Matter and Gold Niwaki Plaza. Honestly, this was a pretty Preem area of Night City, Draga as all Hell. Jackie Welles felt out of place here, even though he knew he was here to Slammit On with the Organiskaya. Of course, as he rode shotgun in V's Ao Guang, Jackie couldn't help but grin. He was getting to hang out in the same Preem parts of town that the Corpses in the C-Suites ...

WAB: Images for Chapter Six

So here we have the next set of Images for Chapter Six. We get to see Asuma's personal Monkey Summon, Yamazaru, along with Training Ground Twelve and the Temple of Kukunochi, as well as the latest incarnation of Team Asuma. I'm happy with how these ones turned out, and it seems like the Anime Art Style is one that can be more easily done in the AI Generators.

At any rate, next will be Ninja Info Cards for Lee, Neji, and Tenten before we return to Choji's POV for him taking Asuma's Team ...

EV: Interlude: Earth Reactions to the Abydos Mission

Colonel Jack O'Neill was furious. He'd done what he needed to do and gotten everyone home, even though Daniel had decided to stay to learn more about the hornet's nest they'd stirred up by going out there, though part of Jack suspected there was more to that. After all, Daniel and Sha're had been getting awfully chummy by the time that they'd packed up camp and headed back to Earth. Jack wished him luck on that front, talk about a fish out of water. You couldn't get more out of water than an ...

F&L: Chapter 53

Almost immediately, I had to abandon my plans to cast at the Troll Chief as he launched himself into the air toward me. I was reminded of Ang Lee's Hulk from the way he did that. Either way, I didn't want to be stuck here when he came down. I threw myself out of the way bodily, practically diving headlong out of the blast zone as the Troll Chief came down with its wood and stone hammer, smashing up the area I'd been standing in previously. As I scrabbled to my feet, I cast an arrow-shooting s...

OG: Interlude: Clouds Assault

Jessie Nyan had been anxious going into this whole thing. Sure, she and Erica had done some stuff before out in NorCal, like that Biz with the Biotechnica Lab out near Tahoe, or that Biz out in Stockton where they'd had to Zero a bunch of Arzin Tynon Associates for Fixie when they'd tried muscling in on her Courier Biz in Sacramento. This, though, this wasn't either of those. That Biotechnica Biz hadn't been nearly so public, and all they'd really had to do was plant a bomb near what'd been s...

BBG: Chapter 33

As we sailed into Jannathstaad on the Hammerdown, we weren't alone. Sailing into the harbor alongside us was the Seahearth Slingstone under the command of Commodore Eldon Islandwarden. The Seahearth Slingstone wasn't the only ship sent by the Council of Seahearth either. Two smaller ships, the Hin Blade and the Hearthharbor Surprise, had sailed with it, forming a small squadron of three naval vessels from Seahearth to join the Iron Drakon,...

NT: Interlude: Meanwhile, In New York City

Casey Jones frowned as he leaped down from a rooftop, swinging his hockey stick into the face of a Bratva Goon from Volkov's Crew out of Brooklyn. As the Russkie went down, Casey had to duck a brass knuckle-encased punch from one of the Associates that Phil Leotardo had taken on during the recent bullshit that'd erupted in the city. He came up with his hockey stick, high-sticking the Mob Associate right in the chin with a crack, snapping the Guy's head back and opening him up for an elbow str...

WAB: Chapter 6

I arrived at Training Ground Twelve, which was next to, and which the Village leased from, the Temple of Kukunochi, the Kami of Trees. The temple of Kukunochi was known for its sacred tree, which was housed in the center of the Temple Complex in a cone-shaped building with numerous glass windows. Less well known were the more traditional buildings around the training ground, where priests could, if they so wished, gather to view the training of the Shinobi and swap tips with any Shinobi who m...

RM: Interlude: Prelude to a Coup

A pall hung over Tolos. Viserys Targaryen, as Archon, had been particularly brutal. Mind you, part of this brutality was necessary. The Slavery that the City was dependent upon to feed itself and to work the massive Saffron and Lavender plantations to the North of the Black Cliffs needed workers, but Viserys had outlawed slavery at the behest of his sister. To get around this new ban on slavery, Viserys directed the Magistrates to sentence Criminals to labor for the state as a priority, effec...

HL: Interlude: Reactions to Bixi's Attack

Bruce Wayne frowned at the latest issue of the Gotham Gazette. Vicki Vale hadn't exactly been subtle when it came to her description of the fighting. The fact that Bixi had been here at all was bad enough, but this article? She compared Jackie to Superman, and that wasn't something that Bruce was willing to countenance. True, it wasn't exactly an unfair comparison, not after what Bruce had seen of the fight between Jackie and Bixi, but it also wasn't something that Bruce could countenance bei...

OG: Chapter 27

As I popped out of my destroyed cover, time slowed down as I ran the numbers and my enhanced intellect and various implants tried to weigh things up. The Copper Golem and Sword Spider weren't big problems, not truly. I could zero them both with just my Xipe Totec, not even needing Fuerza Crispa or even anything heavier. That Iron that Aleksander Yurinov had, though, that was a problem. My Armor could take a couple shots of that, but molten metal would cool fast, weigh me down, and ultimately ...

IS: Images for Chapter Sixty-Seven

Here we have the Images for the Last Chapter. I'm actually pretty happy with these. We'll be seeing more of Agent Velluri going forward as well. Enough that he gets his own image. Suffice it to say, Jozef has taken note of him.

At any rate, the next chapter will be dinner with Katrina and Susie. Then we'll have another chapter as the weekend progresses after that where the Engagement happens.

Stay tuned. . .

EV: Images for Chapter Twenty-Four

Here we have the Images for Chapter Twenty-Four, as promised. The Tianzi Yuanjia Armor actually took a few iterations for me to get a design I was satisfied with. I actually had to pick between this and two others and decided that in the end, this was the one I wanted to go with.

At any rate, the next chapter, we'll be on Earth for an Interlude showing various people's reactions to the Abydos Mission. Then we'll be back with Erlang Shen.

Stay tuned. . .

F&L: Images for Chapter Fifty-Two

Here we have the Images from Chapter Fifty-Two. The Beast was a bitch and a half to get right, it took me at least a dozen tries to get the Image Generator to get something even this accurate and I'm still not a hundred percent happy with it. It's good enough, though, and I can't spend all my time trying over and over again.

At any rate, the next chapter will include the Fight with the Marsh Troll Chief and the wrap-up of the Summer Adventure for the Summer of Nineteen-Ninety-Two. Then ...

OG: Images for Chapter Twenty-Six

Here we have the images for the last chapter. I'm actually fairly happy with how these turned out. I think I'm getting the hang of the AI Generators now. The fiddliest one of these to get right was Sasha, and it only took me a couple of tries to get a decent image for her.

At any rate, the next chapter will involve the fight between Aleksander Yurinov and the MC. I'll also have updated character sheets for both of them out before then as well.

Stay tuned. . .

EV: Interlude: The System Lords React to Erlang Shen's Promotion

As the proclamation by Lord Yu that he was promoting his Nephew and Former Grand Chancellor to the Rank of System Lord, the reaction was somewhat mixed. He had obtained Amaterasu's backing for the move, and technically, he only needed one other System Lord to second the motion for it to be carried to a vote. Unfortunately, with Ra indisposed, a simple majority would carry the day without Ra to exercise his veto. With Moloc yet to be replaced, that meant that for the motion to carry, the motio...

MM: Chapter 53

I glared at the trapped form of Mors Cruentia. My Dark Mirror had apparently been caught up in one of the various traps that Cagliostro had scattered about his Labyrinth. A Dark Elven Dreamstone manifesting unbreakable shackles of mystic energy that bound the Man up like a pig at a rodeo. He was quite literally hogtied and unable to escape, which meant that his fate was in my hands. The question was, would it be better to just leave him here or should I free him? Obviously, a guy like this co...

NT: Chapter 100

In the End, Team Psycho Soldier was declared the winners of the Nineteen-Ninety-Eight King of Fighters Tournament. Chizuru helped to cover up the incident by claiming there was a gas leak of an experimental industrial coolant that was meant to cool the power systems for the Arena and had hallucinogenic effects when mixed with oxygen. A spokesperson for Mishima Industries then corroborated the cover story, and the Japanese Government, not wanting to alarm the public or alert them to the existe...

IS: Chapter 67

It was noon when Katrina's Shuttle touched down at the Ny Roskilde Spaceport on New Ålborg. I'd been keeping tabs on the comings and goings from the Spaceport in preparation and had specifically instructed the Portmaster to let me know when her Shuttle Came in. Of course, she hadn't come just by herself, she'd arrived on the Scout-class JumpShip Pride of Apollo. A Brand-Spanking-New JumpShip that had been manufactured by the freshly built Apollo Shipyard that Duke Michael Watson had...
