Eighth Monthly Post – Out of The Forest!

Posted on 28th February 201928th February 2019 by Patrick

The first of the Memorization Games is out of beta! Can you survive in the Forest without a Spellchecker?

Out of The Forest

An enchanted bit of forest, colored lights in dark trees, with the words: My Grief is covered in the Ground out of Sight,
As the Thunderclap forms the crooked Fulgurite.

You will need to memorize short, mainly two-line verses (like the one in the picture) to get past the monsters and other troubles. If you do not type it in correctly (Capitalization is important) then the monster will chase you all the way back, or off the path.

Click on the frog to escape a pursuing monster, and to learn your “Songlets”. Your progress will be saved there too.

The Wurd Creature

Posted on 21st February 201926th June 2019 by Patrick

An instance of the Wurd creature, a deadly significant being. These descriptions were only slightly edited from when they were written in 2011.

“She slung a small, leathern wallet onto the table, with a pad that had been between it and her shoulder. When it landed on the table Chi Luw heard the little, leather thing echo like thunder in a far away cave. The table groaned loudly. Chi Luw was amazed that Shuy Lauh could carry such a weight. Shuy Lauh went and closed the door. The only light was the light of the glowing fire. The wagoner lay back into the corner, and drew his hat down over his face, looking very black, and larger than life, in the sinister light. Chi Luw pulled at the wallet, and it fell from the pad, and rumbled again.
