Challenge #04926-M177: Damned Foolish Stunt

Tilting at windmills -- Deathshead419

Kosh would have to apologise to Artie for insisting this mobile chair be disposable. Even though the autonomous automaton's face was immobile, it nevertheless managed o convey heatbreak and disappointment when he told it, "The chair won't last long anyway. Just make sure it will last long enough."

He'd have a lot of apologies to make if he survived this.

First and most importantly, to his beloved Cordelia, for making her wait nine months for his return to the mortal plane. Then to his newborn twin sons, still lacking a full name each, for forcing them to have Battleborn and Battleblood somewhere in their full chain of names. Only then would he apologise to his doctors for going out on the battlefield for a leader-to-leader challenge - against a Giant - with a cursed arrowhead embedded in his thigh.

It's dangerous to go alone -- Spare AMitA Prompt

Pipi raised the sacred weapon and hollered the sacred vow, "I found a stick onna ground, an' now I'm gonna use it! All the power that I found, I don't wanna abuse it!" Their voice echoed in the streets and no other kids called challenge. Nobody else called dibs. The obvious next thing to do was become a Hero.

Which meant that Pipi needed to become a protector and helper to the poor,

Leap of Faith -- Spare AMitA Prompt

For such a small stone, the Icon of Edass weighed heavily inside a fold of Kosh's gi. As he raced across the rooftops of Arbordeep, he had to wonder how much of the stretched truth he told to Xiolein was something he covertly believed.

It was so easy to believe the artifact was cursed. Those who sought it had killed so many of those who held it. As well as unnumbered innocent bystanders who had

Shh, they'll hear you -- Spare AMitA Prompt

In the Forest of Giants, a war has raged for centuries.

The Elves did not know that some trees were more alive than others. They did not have reason to ask before the first branch reached out and crushed the first Elf to bent a bivouac into someone's head. The actual war happened because they did not care to ask.

They were Elves. The first people to make civilisation as they defined it. They

Them dang varmint demons -- Spare AMitA Prompt

Nate-Ray's old pickup made it to Winslow's Farm Supplies Warehouse and Car Repair. Right across from Rosie's Bar and Grill. Nate-Ray did pull up at the car repair side, chucking his keys to Sid, but then hustled his ass straight to the warehouse. That got a lot of attention, since Nate-Ray never did nothing more than a mosey anywhere.

Even Winslow got up from his napping chair instead of letting little Peggy see to

Well hello there, new friend. What's your name? Very nice. Pleased to meet you. You may know me as Tolgrolaz, and I am very pleased to help you. You have to be desperate indeed to contact me. I know.

Things that go bloom -- Spare AMitA Prompt

[AN: Ask me about The Drama(tm) over on my Discord if you really want to know. It's... complicated. And dense.]

Magic came to Alfarell when the stars fell. So too did a lot of creatures from the Plane of Magic, later named Nanogh. Some became Elves, some Brauniin, and some became Wudsgaad. The Elves sought to tame the world, the Brauniin chose to help the 'lesser' creatures[1] in secret... and the Wudsgaad

The Fabulous Lives of the Unencumbered -- Luna

There is an old saying: More money than sense. It speaks specifically to the charmed lives of the rich and powerful. Those who don't see the silver platter that everything comes to them on. To them, it's as invisible as the air they breathe.

Submitted for your education: Klaratynne Shiffohen D'Arbuette.

Challenge #04917-M168: A Secret Third Option

The year and a season since Vigdis met Odilio has proven fruitful, the warrior maiden assembling a sizable band and a string of victories, thanks to her uncanny ability to outmaneuver her enemies as though she has an eye in the sky. This presents a problem, as if the curse is broken, Odilio can no longer scout for her.

Perhaps Freja can allow the lad to become a male Valkryie?

Jay stood near a teen he had been asked to watch over while Mr Sunshine finished their mission. The kid was on his knees losing his lunch.

"I was terrified." / You fought and killed them anyway.

"Am I a coward?" / No, a coward runs. A brave person acts even when terrified. You saved lives.

"I don't want to do that again." / We're going to try to ensure you won't have to. -- Anon Guest
