Blood & Fur 106: Feathered Serpent
Previous Chapter------The Feathered Serpent was blinding to look at.His mere presence would have surely burned my eyes were I not half a god, for his polished white scales each glowed with the radiance of suns and stars. Great quetzal feathers adorned his body in a display of blue, green, red, and all the shimmering colors known to the living.The deity’s size boggled the mind. Tlaloc had been colossal, and King Mictlantecuhtli was the size of a...
Dungeon Wreckers 69: Belly of the Beast
Previous Chapter-------Matthew left Ulysses’ home without looking back. Ulysses didn’t try to stop his old friend, and he didn’t take anything with him; not his bag, not John’s gun, nothing but the clothes on his back.He didn’t need anything else where he was going.Matthew stood outside under the midday sun, gazing at the street. It all seemed so bland all of a sudden without his old home there. Just lifeless asphalt and tasteless subur...
Board & Conquest 49: After Us, The Flood
Previous Chapter-----------Goreville reached the top of the hill and planted his sword into the mana locus.A statue of his god, many times his own size, immediately arose from the earth in all of its primeval splendor. A pulse of energy blanketed the group of outriders with their lord’s blessing.“It is done, Lord Wepwawet!” Goreville declared with pride.“Thank you, Goreville,” his god responded in his mind. He sounded more solemn than u...
Board & Conquest 48: Titan Onslaught
Previous Chapter--------General Peridot was a soldier at heart. Although he led his men into battle, he never forgot that he answered to his liege and country. He had often voiced his opinion and argued with his leadership, but never outright disobeyed.It felt wrong that he was even considering it today.“I beg you to reconsider, Your Majesty,” General Peridot argued with his leader as they reviewed their army gathered outside Citadel Sapphire...
Dungeon Wreckers 68: Ulysses
Previous Chapter--------His friends were alive and awake.Matthew’s sense of relief when Florence invited him, Amélia, and the other visitors into the hospital room was palpable. The Doc had just finished operating on John to rewire his Blue-scrambled brain and align his neurons back in a way that didn’t cause him to pass out from the pain, while confirming Kari didn’t suffer from lingering spell effects. Maggie’s previously burned face n...
Board & Conquest 47: Death to Politics
Previous Chapter--------The rest of the gathering proved very productive and Wepwawet learned quite a few things by the end of it, some of which he wished he hadn’t.The gods drank their fill of divine alcohol until some struggled to teleport back to their domain—Susanoo ended up stuck in a wall at one point, which forced Set to bring it down to get him out—and the pyramid slowly emptied itself.“T’was an amazing party, Seti!” Lord Zeus...
Blood & Fur 105: Stillborn Past
Previous Chapter------The Underworld shone a little brighter when I arrived.The morning star’s glow had grown a little stronger, though by such a small amount I could hardly notice it. I wondered if that was a message from the Feathered Serpent that the road ahead of me was the right one, but that I still had a long way to go.Whatever the case, I soon spotted Mother awaiting me. A gulf of a few dozen feet separated us, and she made no move to c...
Dungeon Wreckers Chapter 67: Azathoth
Previous Chapter------The Doc had been freed to treat John and Kari, but he ended up spending most of the morning examining Matthew himself.The tests unfolded like the first ones the Association put Matthew through in the early days. Florence had lent them her office, and the Doc asked his student to practice with his Key while he used his own to tune specific aspects of it, decreasing power for range, trading control for versatility… or at lea...
Board & Conquest 46: Cram School
Previous Chapter------It felt good to return home.Months passed in the blink of an eye to immortal gods, but his time spent on Elphion had seemed so much longer to Wepwawet. The sight of his father’s pyramid had never seemed so comforting before, especially since his avatar had grown stable enough to leave the classroom and return to the Egyptian Pantheon’s district in Nexus City.His home was already relatively crowded by the time he, Ganesha...
Board & Conquest 45: Death Pool
Previous Chapter-------With only forty-eight hours separating Elphion from its first Titan Incursion, Miss Athena summoned her entire class to an emergency meeting.Wepwawet hadn’t seen all of his fellow students gathered this way since they re-established contact with the Nexus. Their avatars had regained some color and stability since that time, probably because they had all gained at least five Altars or close to it. Even Horus attended the s...
Board & Conquest 44: Doomsday Clock
Previous Chapter-------It had taken so many months, but they’d finally managed to rebuild their school group chat!“Arty!” Ganesha immediately rushed to embrace Artemis the moment their spirit projections joined together in the heavens above. “Group hug!”“Group hug!” Artemis replied before pulling Wepwawet in, her arms tightening around his and Ganesha’s necks. “I told you I could make it work! I told you!”“Yes, yes you did,...
Blood & Fur Chapter 104: Fit for an Emperor
Previous Chapter------A/N; this chapter includes a rather lengthy sex scene, so I put brackets if you want to skip it.Otherwise, as warned earlier, I'll be on break next week for TPR-game related meetings, sonext chapter will be published on April 19th.------When you made an actor the king, the whole palace turned into a stage.After my demonstration of divine power, I had Ayar Manco and his wife hold an audience in their abode. They sat on th...
Board & Conquest 43: Kraken's Witnesses
Previous Chapter-------“Never!” The word echoed through Narc’s temple with such power that the walls trembled. “I said never!”“Be reasonable!” Victoire argued with Insupportable. The dragon’s burns—which had proved severe enough to require Alpine’s healing salves to treat—hadn’t made him any more amenable to discussion. “Let us treat her at least.”“I saw her first!” The dragon cradled his princess trophy and caress...
Board & Conquest 42: Family Feud
Previous Chapter-------Goddamn dragons!Wepwawet knew he should have put Insupportable on ice when he had the chance! He had barely left that lizard unattended for a few hours to focus on building up Narc’s defenses, and all it earned him was a diplomatic incident!At least capturing that Princess Topaz finally forced Pele’s hand. Their overlapping Influences allowed Wepwawet to create a direct line of discussion with her after his neighbor ref...
Board & Conquest 41: Interlude: Magma Princess
Previous Chapter------Jasper had knelt a warrior, and now rose as a Champion.“Take pride, Jasper,” Lady Pele of the Eternal Flame declared once her divine light faded away. “Now blessed with my flame of victory and the blessing of the Longstrider, never again shall you know defeat!”“Jasper!” His troops and fellow warriors sang across the cavern. “Jasper, Jasper, Jasper!”“Thank you, milady,” Jasper replied to the applause of th...
Blood & Fur Chapter 103: Brighter than Gold
Previous Chapter-------True to her word, Killa secured us entrance into the Sapa capital. The generals manning Fort Saskay preferred to stand down rather than risk the death of their Emperor, since unlike me, Manco would only rise from the grave as a monster hungry for the blood of the living.I feared we would have to keep my roaming palace outside the city’s outer walls, but the stone gates of Fort Saskay proved large enough to let it through....
Board & Conquest 40: Crafting Days
Previous Chapter-----Victoire liked what she saw.She overlooked Promesse’s training ground from her window, where Lord Raymond drilled new recruits in the arts of small unit tactics. Rows after rows of werelings stabbed mannequins with spears while others ran across a yard with a crushing weight of supplies on their back. Learning how to endure and wield one’s equipment like a second skin was a key aspect of the soldier experience. The sight ...

Thi...
Board & Conquest 39: Dungeon Horizon
Previous Chapter-------And so, Wepwawet added a giant fort to his list of settlements.Jarlack and Cynisca shrewdly negotiated their sellsword company’s services and access to the local mana locus as a package deal. Their services didn’t come cheap—besides the toll on the soon-to-be-expanded passage, they asked for a large share of any loot from fallen enemies and a retainer’s salary—but Wepwawet partly one-upped them by promising benefi...
Board & Conquest 38: Trade & Expenses
Previous Chapter-------Ganesha had quite the unusual Miracle collection.Wepwawet had been wondering how his fellow classmates would build their decks. Whereas he had been completing multiple quests and thus gained a balanced variety of Miracles, he noticed a very different trend in Ganesha’s deck.“You have a lot of Artifacts and Revelations,” Wepwawet noted.“I’ve been mostly focusing on economic quests,” Ganesha replied with a sheepis...
Blood & Fur Chapter 102: The Smiling Dead
Previous Chapter------Widowhood suited Lady Zyanya well.Twice had I indirectly killed her husband, both brothers. The first, Tlazohtzin, was an innocent whom I set to take the fall for the disastrous New Fire Ceremony and the chaos that followed; the second, Tlaxcala, was an inept opportunist whom I exploited for political gain and then cuckolded in public. The former died tortured by the red-eyed priests in the Nightlords’ service, and the lat...
Board & Conquest 37: Elephant Luck
Previous Chapter------The so-called ‘Fort Jarlack’ was a fortress in name only.Goreville knew he should have tempered his expectations after seeing the impregnable Citadel Sapphire and Promesse, but the current area could be at best called a fortified camp and little else; if scaled up for much larger beings then werelings. A giant-sized fence of sharpened tree trunks and deep ditches surrounded haphazardly stacked stone buildings and huge te...
Board & Conquest 36: Biology Class
A/N: this is the second chapter posted today (explanations in chapter 35) so if you've missed the former, just click on previous chapter.-------Previous Chapter-------And so Wepwawet sent a delegation east to follow Cynisca and her group back to their superiors, and hopefully reach them soon.The clock was ticking. General Peridot’s ultimatum would expire in ten days, and while Wepwawet was glad that he secured Promesse and kicked Beelzebub ...
Board & Conquest 35: Slimony
A/N: okay, so I accidentally released an early chapter on RR due to auto-update shenanigans so... I'm releasing another B&C chapter early to keep you patrons far in advance. Double update time!--------Previous Chapter--------Raiding the vault proved to be very profitable.Wepwawet and Victoire elected to examine the entire inventory before dealing with their potential new recruit. The hoard they found included a wealth of gold and silver coins...
Board & Conquest 34: Of Gods & Princesses
Previous Chapter------The Holy Vault had always been one of the Glarmes’ best kept secrets.Located in the central keep’s basement, the chamber was older than the rest of the castle. The knights had built it since the days when they first found the Sacred Source and raised Promesse stone by stone to protect these two areas. The secret of what it contained was known only to the order’s Knight-Commander and his designated successor, though rum...
Blood & Fur Chapter 101: In Death's Arms
Previous Chapter-----A/N: this chapter includes a NSFW scene... but part of it is extremely plot relevant, so put brackets before the very important part.------Nenetl turned out to have inherited more than her kindness from Father, as he was the one who handily won their game.I acquainted myself well at the game and ended up in third place, behind my sister and ahead of my mother. I had half expected Ichtaca to throw a fit upon finishing last con...
Board & Conquest 33: Clean-Up
Previous Chapter-------A/N: as promised last week, a third Board & Conquest chapter will now be posted on all Saturdays from now on, starting with this week-end. See you again then.--------Obviously, the first thing Wepwawet did was to brag to his parents and teacher about his victory.“Father, I did it!” Wepwawet announced the moment he returned to his classroom. “I beat Beelzebub!”“Congratulations!” his stepmom said almost immediatel...

Board & Conquest 32: Warming Up
Previous Chapter------A/N: I have created a document including Wepy's deck and army according to the current chapter here (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1uoU2ht6obxBV25NvU-TAFaf4gZ1HB2takvLKR-zfPDc/edit?usp=sharing)for reference. I'll probably update it once a week.-------The blast rocked Promesse to its core and shattered Beelzebub’s Altar.Wepwawet grinned ear to ear upon watching the explosion through his Champion’s eyes. Alpin...
