With conditions in Quelidar getting rectified in a hurry, Perdida Fortescue's efficient sail-and-steam freighter Leaping Swordfish was bound for Vodranor, Ilya Trostel's native land, which would be new to Lagmarosk Mezdatch and Frethric Belgus. Sir Wyatt Hickok, his three apprentices, and their...

Since in fact Jaheg-Jorod _wasn't_ involved in Udraskian affairs, and since his hitching a ride atop a dirigible when surveying land areas had been a minor incident, there was indeed no cause for the people aboard Queen's Favor to divert their own attention to the necromancer. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _...

A Youtube channel called Wyatt's Metal startled me by depicting a CRUISE SHIP hosting metal performances. I can't post the video here, because there is conspicuous naughty language.

Sometimes a delusion is WILLFULLY CHOSEN by somebody who DOESN'T WANT some unpleasant reality to be true. (Mr. Lewis illustrated this through the bad guys in "That Hideous Strength.") In other cases, a delusion is caused by something which is beyond the person's control. You have set up a...

Positively time now to return to Punksteema. Firstly, we look northeast of Reslagor, east of Bamulica, north of Hukshem, and northwest of Kikoro. (There will be a quiz next week.) Mellow Druid Barkfist Snowdiver, advisor to King Jentrum of Reepokistan, had endorsed inviting the Captains of...

In rural Burma, Arush "Flying Elephant" Vhani followed cues from his energy- tracking wife Jelisaveta, to discover a camouflaged jungle camp of Neo-You-Know-What's. While unable to become invisible, Arush was short, lean, and able to sneak through jungle foliage with the best of them. While...

In northern India, between Punjab and Uttarakhand, Nitara the Golden Rakshasa had been joined by a platoon of experienced Sikh troopers, plus eight conventional policemen for the purpose of managing any prisoners they took. Fleeing from the local Neo-Nazi outbreak, civilians provided many...

Jimmy the Unfindable Man had refined his energy-field control considerably, during and since the time he had spent protecting the infant son of Preston Truthside. At a chosen entrance to the lodge, he activated a vertical energy square inside the large room beyond the door. Gently pulling the...

The Biblical Daryoosh / Darius was the king-- more accurately, a viceroy acting for King Kurosh /Cyrus-- who got manipulated into introducing Daniel to the lions.

This reminds me: in the Sixties, there was a dramatic TV series titled "Coronet Blue." The hero was a young man who was fished out of a river, not remembering how he got there or even who he was. No memory of where he had lived, if he had a wife, etc. His _only_ clue was that he remembered...

A handy mission was assigned for the closely-bound foursome of Sushi, Colosseumus, Jimmy and Jasmine. Two battalions of suddenly-created movie-type Nazis, communicating but not working closely together, had taken wealthy tourists hostage at tourist lodges on two famous mountains: Mount...

Your finally resuming "Darius" brought the July 5 post to my attention. It needs multiple corrections. For instance: There was nothing special about my backyard, aside from the fenced in area lot on opposite sides so to keep out wayward tramps or thieves off. You need a hyphen for "fenced in."

Now I'll rejoin the situation on Earth-Whichever, which includes the Thumpercolts who were founded by an ambitious army general. Vilkarezdu the cyclopean Heart Sapphire ("of the Fifth Blezrip") is with the Thumpercolts. Peter Mayangi, the Zairean prosecutor who had witnessed the social...

More E.R. Burroughs copycatting remains to be done-- but with a little crossover stuff. Bazookadar is a complete planet, just inside-out. So it needs to have some variety. Long before any sapient beings had lived full-time on the exterior of Planet Freesoil, some of those abundant...

Zoot Booter and Grammurnatziya were alternating control of the starship which had brought them and other followers of Dark Headgear gang to Freesoil for the first time. The Starship Grunts currently on-world, using Awkwardlispian subspace-radio apparatus, had made contact with the Justified...

The Russian language has no "TH", so her name is rendered as "Samanta."

Next up, we return to Planet Freesoil, which contains inside it the hollow world of Bazookadar. A purple-skinned man (face and hands lighter in color) of the Dishwasheeri race, named Exmaknor, has joined the good guys active on Freesoil. He is the very first Fuss up-sider produced by his...

Lizzie glowered at Joza. "Give me back that piece of my head! You have no right to disfigure my divine beauty!" While the nearby human males were vomiting, Lizzie's expression switched to the mood of a patient schoolteacher carefully guiding a stupid little boy. "Of course, the head is not...

Black Giraffe, Joza-Varu-Paf, and the other good-aligned folks who were keeping Jackalbyte imprisoned, knew that they could restrain her, even kill her if it were necessary. But they didn't take her lightly; they needed to understand better WHAT she was, and why she hated everyone good-aligned...
