The Peeling of Larracos.

2024-09-11 00:17:32 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks. This is a generic book epub of the book so far. This is not even beta version, and there are some edits I've already done that are not in here. Also, the formatting is completely fucked in a lot of places. Please do not share this. Y'all shared the cover like 2 seconds after I shared it, and now the wrong cover file is circulating all over the place. But several people have asked for...
2024-09-11 00:07:02 +0000 UTC View PostOne chapter today, but it's a biggun' There've been quite a few retcons, but you don't need to know anything for this one.
Chapter 68
Slam! The final mercenary crashed against the wall after getting brained by Dong. The gnoll mercenary exploded into a pile of coins as he crashed to the ground. The coins scattered over the concrete floor of the ...
2024-09-09 00:51:43 +0000 UTC View PostHey all. More notes later because I’m in a time crunch to post this, but I will be posting an updated .epub as the changes are getting too cumbersome to just post every chapter.
Many, many of the this-army-is-here-and-this-army-is-there is likely going to go away since most of it will eventually get made irrelevant and will on cause confusion. Nothing has actually changed, so if you...
Quick notes. Lots of small changes, which makes me unlikely to finish the maps while things are still in flux. If you notice some inconsistencies with previous chapters, those are likely fixed or in the process of being fixed, but please continue to call them out. There’s some major ones here.
Big ones…. Yarilo was obviously a mistake as I was moving things around. Eris the GODDESS ...

2024-08-15 18:14:45 +0000 UTC View PostI know, I know. I needed to do this a while ago. I'm going through and editing/changing/fixing stuff. It's pretty clear now that we're dealing with multiple strongholds at once, this needs to be settled once and for all. I will go back and pepper the name in during the next full-body edit, and I will add a scene where the name is chosen.

Small retcon regarding that convo between Justice Light and Juice Box. I haven't updated the file, but Justice Light is a little more direct with his comments. He asks Juice Box if any of her people have touched any of the basilica guard ogres, and she tells him that a few have...
Part III. Open Hostilities.
“Leave,” Justice Light said to Pernicus G, the lead sluggalo. “You have done good work, but it is time for you to join the others above the surface. You don’t want to be down here for this final part.”
The slug had just tied off a manual ...
2024-07-03 00:41:05 +0000 UTC View PostHey all. No major notes ahead of time, but I did add a smidge of information here and there about Prepotente’s deity, the Epicure, which is the same god as Carl’s patch. Nothing major there, just a note.

2024-06-19 22:49:32 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I give cliffhanger warnings all the time. It's pretty much assumed at this point that all these remaining chapters will have cliffhangers.
This one is especially brutal.
A couple random edits to be aware of. I went back and added a little bit about auras, and I added several sentences here and there throughout the manuscript about Li Na. Namely, I added how she got added to th...
2024-06-08 01:55:45 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks. This seems like a lot, but it's all foreplay. The next drop will be the big one. These are the final moments as we hit the top of the roller coaster. Needless to say, cliffhanger alert.

Donut and I both had a plan for the moment we transferred back. I was sent to the saferoom, and Donut was sent to the castle. I needed ...

We all looked at one another, waiting for something else to happen. Nothing did.
There was a flash, and to everybody’s surprise, a new figure appeared in the room. It was Odette, but she wasn’t in her usual costume. She was without her mask, her breastplate, and her crab body. It was just her floating in her wheelchair. She wore a simpl...

Chapter 40
Donut: THE NEW WALL IS COMING ALONG NICELY. ALSO, WE PAINTED THE CASTLE PINK. KAMAL BROKE HIS NEW LEGS AGAIN, BUT JUSTICE LIGHT SAYS HE CAN FIX THEM WITHOUT GOING INTO THE SAFEROOM. I JUST TALKED TO KATIA AND LI NA, AND THEY SAY THEY’RE DONE. KATIA IS COMING TO YOU.
Carl: Okay. We ...
2024-04-28 23:33:24 +0000 UTC View PostHey folks. A relatively short chapter compared to the last release as chapter 40 isn’t quite ready. I just spent the last week doing some heavy fixin’ of the previous chapters. Nothing too much to add right now, though I did add some more to previous chapters about tensions between the Dream and the Madness and some notifications about the mercenary that Carl left in the former D’Nadia ca...

2024-03-27 00:52:42 +0000 UTC View PostYo, yo everyone. Normally these interlude chapters don't get their own post, but this one is the longest by far, and I thought it deserved its own little section. Plus I wanted to get something out before I headed off to Canada for a couple of days.

2024-02-21 23:56:32 +0000 UTC View PostSo, just a warning. This ends on a gold-plated, douchebag-level cliffhanger.
Warning 2: Patreon just borked how formatting works. So if this looks REALLY wonky, I apologize. I will try to fix tonight.
“Well, don’t get used to it,” Donut grumbled as we stepped out of the throne room. “My Constitution still has several more spots to tick up before it h...
2024-02-02 02:35:35 +0000 UTC View PostHey everyone. Just got back from a long road trip where I was being chased by a winter storm, which made it difficult to get the chapters down. Sorry about that.
Just a quick note about the previous chapters. I reworked it a bit to make it more clear what had happened with the trenches... Two of the Team Retribution NPC scouts took the middle of the three trenches and filled i...
2024-01-18 06:40:32 +0000 UTC View PostSmall retcon... added more talk in previous two chapters about Carl not dispersing his Soul Energy.
Also, a bit of a cliffhanger.
This map is NOT to scale, and it is just of the battle of the Southern Campaign, the first major engagement of the war and of the battle that'll eventually become known as the Night of the Thousand Screams.

Hey everyone. Just spent the last few weeks doing some revamping of the script. Lots and lots of small changes, fixing inconsistencies and tightening up the rules and rearranging some of the chess pieces on the board. I’ll eventually release an epub with the fixes. In the meantime, there’s not much you need to know. Tran was with Britney, but we moved him to be in charge of the Southern fro...
2023-12-07 17:18:17 +0000 UTC View PostOkay folks… in order to make these next two chapters work, I’m forced to retcon a few details. Most aren’t too too important, but if you see any inconsistencies, hopefully I’ve already caught them and fixed it. The most important change you need to know was already broken in the last chapter with Luke…, I had it that the faction wars non-crawlers still had death protections turned on....

“You,” Everly hissed, pointing her leg at one of her two remaining mercenaries. He was an ogre with pinprick eyes and an oversized, crushed nose on his damnable, emotionless face. He’d spent the last several moments holding up the rock ceiling as sand poured in from all sides. The mantis didn’t know why, but the sight of the ogre standing there, straining...

Time Until the Ceasefire Ends: 33 hours.
“I never thought I’d see one of these again,” I muttered as we hunched over in the woods. A loud, whining noise reverberated through the forest. A group of trees and vines crunched and cracked as they were pushed down and shattered by the distant, rolling ball of wailing mobs. The sound was like that of a scr...
