"The gnome quickly told us, 'Fly straight ahead out from this building. Then turn it left once fully out from here, and continue on. Now!'

"We flew the cloud chariot with us out from there, and went then in the direction that this gnome indicated to us."
December 16, 2025 at 7:30 AM
"Nothing was happening at first. But after a few moments the screen cage was lifted again over us with open space in front. The gnome ran up to the cloud chariot, calling, 'Take me as you said you would!'
"Uncarich reached down to him from our place in the cloud chariot and he pulled this gnome in."
December 16, 2025 at 7:30 AM
"I said to this gnome, 'We will take you. But hurry, if you can release this cloud chariot from this enclosing cage, before any of those ones come back here. We each need to escape from here.'

"This gnome went behind a small counter, where he seemed to try different things,"
December 9, 2025 at 8:28 AM
"This gnome told us, 'I can manage loosening you with your craft, I am sure, but promise me you will take me out from here with you, and I will guide you out where you will be free of Master Roskornol and all these oppressive mantypes,who are different in their action from any other humans!'"

"He stopped when he saw us in our cloud chariot, within the screen cage. He said to us, 'Is that a vehicle that can still move?'

"I told him, 'If it were not held in this cage, we could fly it out from here, but we are not from here, and know nothing about anything out there or where to go.'"
December 2, 2025 at 8:26 AM
"Roskornol said, 'We must make all those serving us here be prepared for being put on the perimeter for defense then!' As that man left Roskornol followed him in that direction. Just then one gnome who had been hiding behind potted plants near one corner ran out from there, to go to the open area."

"I bring news from the eastern frontier. Valgonis has fallen. The commoners there are rising up, and the Nowrriellans are moving this way to take advantage of weak spots in the defense along the way. You must see what is to be seen of it yourself in the community viewer!'

"Those collars must have been for Roskornol to have control in some way with them. He told them to bring in the constraints with others there to serve him coming with them to help with that. They went to gather the others then. But after that a man came in greeting him, saying, 'Hail Roskornol!"
November 25, 2025 at 8:26 AM
"These men there, all larger beings, kept them captive as servants at this time, especially Roskornol, that Master of Arigean Arts, who had a great many. Roskornol summoned a couple of them, those two wore collars about their necks."

" 'Here you will be of help to me as our power expands in this world. Rewards will come to you with your cooperation. You do not want to resist my will.' "

Salarcky and Hoppsy looked wide-eyed as Spiny went on. "There were many gnomes in that area, mostly the militant gnomes, some hermit gnomes."

"A screen cage was soon dropped over us, before we could react.

"He told us, 'Welcome here, to this mortal realm where those of us with further powers are few, and the potential slaves are many. You will not be where you serve those masters of chaotic variation anymore..' "
November 11, 2025 at 7:20 AM
"They can eat anyone. But the mantypes of this community, including this man who was Master of the Arigean Arts, kept the gnomes there as captive servants. And he to his pleasure had suddenly without much planning taken this chariot, a marvelous vehicle from that place we are from, with us in it."
November 11, 2025 at 7:20 AM
Spiny said, "That man being quite large was not really evil. Uncarich could have tried eating him but he had powers we did not know about. But he and human people in that surrounding community had evil tendencies."

"How will Uncarich eat a larger being?"

"Uncarich is an ambush frog and can do so."
November 4, 2025 at 7:18 AM
"No, it was not Pipper. This was a large man, such beings really are larger, and he had very dark hair and beard, and dark robes, with dark red lines in them."

Hoppsy said, "You were both kidnapped by an evil wizard?"
October 28, 2025 at 8:57 AM
"We were gated out from our home area into the holdings of Roskornol the Master of the Arigean Arts, though that ambush frog would have a long way down to the jellylike ground below. Just Uncarich, and I, were left in it in that new place."

Salarcky said, "And Pipper was not there with you?"
October 28, 2025 at 8:55 AM
"At that time the lord in our home area sent a couple of the ambush frogs who served him on an errand and I the Spiny Overseer came along then. The dimensional opening appeared just before us in flight and we could not evade it. One ambush frog sprang out from the chariot before it went through it."
October 21, 2025 at 6:15 AM
"And one foreign to our realm was using a motorized generator of one of his artifacts for dimensional openings one of which reached our place. This foreign master of obscure arts, Roskornol, was trying to acquire that cloud chariot."
October 14, 2025 at 11:56 AM
"It's something you drive places. But how is that made, how can that be done on jellylike ground where you come from?"

Salarcky shot Hoppsy a look but Spiny went on, "The vehicle was from a great lord who would show great power with his works, he dwelt in the clouds over our shaky moving grounds."
October 14, 2025 at 11:56 AM
"You can judge for yourself if that space would be good for it."

Spiny nodded, and said, "Yes, that sounds good, and if the space is good the others and I can go get our cloud chariot from where we left it and drive it there."

Hoppsy then said, "That cloud chariot does have me curious."
October 7, 2025 at 8:12 AM
Salarcky said, "I think there might be a space behind your home structure and the rest of the home structures, along the approach to the river in that place, where there is an empty area that can be used for that. When we are done here, we can go have a look at that space..."
October 7, 2025 at 8:12 AM
Spiny said, "Do you mean the cloud chariot? If we had a place around this community where we could have that, we would bring it here."
September 30, 2025 at 9:17 AM
They all had the well known stew that was a regular meal for the salamanders there, in bowls placed in front of each, with wooden utensils in form like spoons.

Hoppsy said soon enough, "You still have that vehicle you came in up there where you left it. Are you going to be leaving it there?"
September 30, 2025 at 9:16 AM
It was not long after that the community meal was served, here Salarcky and those he brought with him came to a long low table and sat with Salarcky's family by them, and all the other lurchy salamanders who had been at their sorts of work, and one mudambusher sat with salamanders too.
September 23, 2025 at 8:28 AM
"Yes, I will show you."

Spiny and then Salarcky and Hoppsy watched as Uncarich followed after the large salamander back the way they had come as Uncarich carried the water container now holding the broken leaves of wild cabbage and the berries on top with him.
September 23, 2025 at 8:26 AM
...when you emptied the water over the seeded field when you were done and returned the container to me. It would have been a lot of work for any who were smaller than you. Come on back, you have done enough here."

Uncarich asked, "You will show me where I can join with the others to eat?"
