4d20 Disadvantage

4d20 Disadvantage

He decides it best to be in
The one place he has ever seen the target
The smell of salt, swaying minds, and greed
Fill his nostrils, failing to distract his trained eyes

Exactly upon the hour he predicted
The man with motivations paid in bribes
Enters the perilous pub
Looking for the next installment on his lack of honor

Following the unsuspecting and unaware
Is the rogue's specialty
He follows the target all the way
Back to the central barracks

He can assume that a small army
And a fortress fortified
Stand between him
And this righteous kill

He can find no secret entrance
No way in without being seen
And while searching for his opening
He hears the voices nearby
          of the armored foes that have spotted him

His story continues...

3d20 Disadvantage

3d20 Disadvantage

The bandit presence removed
The bandit threat ended
The bandit leader chars in the rain
The bandits alive flee with haste

She feels herself a now empty vessel
The Lesser Goddess answered the call
And collected the toll
The War Mage's heart grows faint

The villagers cower
Leaving their hero helpless
When her need for help
Could not be more dire

This is a dad way to end
When one considers it doesn't have to be
If but one saved could step forth
Overcome their fear in name of their savior

Her eyes flinch at the raindrops falling upon her face
Her body grows colder than the storm
Her eyes stop flinching, now closed
Her body stops chilling, now still

Her story continues...

2d20 Disadvantage

2d20 Disadvantage

With her new power
Comes new purpose
She will spend the rest of her life
In servitude of the greater good

Divine judgment awaits her foes
A force to be felt from her blade
She swings it now at the command
Of a deity unforgiving of evil

She must now follow the call
Ringing in her mind
And pounding in her heart
Her life is no longer hers

This is a harsh reality
One she feels unfit to live in
She has been one to help
Of this, there is no doubt

However, she is also a spirit free
Unwilling to serve blindly
Existentialistic dread
Weighs her down, frozen in fear of unflinching fealty

Her story continues...

Dreaming of Love

Dreaming of Love

A sprinkle of angel's halo glow
Left there upon sleeping eyes
To set to sleeping mind
A dream from which
None would willfully choose to awaken
Not unless a reality
That must at least be matching
In the splendors of love's world
Behind closed eyes
Awaits the dreamer
Upon awaking
