#SFFSat - Just Errod?

Welcome back to Science Fiction and Fantasy Saturday! Make sure you check out all the other posts when you're done here!

This week's post is from the opening chapters of DUNGEON CRAWL: THE FALL and introduces two of the supporting characters: Errod and Kith-Alyssia.




“You serve the elven archer goddess?”

“No. Kith, the elven god of war, madness and literature. I am Kith-Alyssia. And you are?”

“Errod.”

“Just Errod?”

“Yes.”

“Not even Errod of the North?”

“No.”

Kith-Alyssia’s smile grew wider. “Are you busy tonight, Just Errod?”

“No.” His grin grew to match hers.

“Would you like to be?” the priestess whispered.



A super villain at the top of his game must choose between the world he wants and the woman he loves.

    1. Kith-Alyssia is a woman who knows what she wants. She's very mature, in that regard. :)

    1. Eh, I guess that depends on who or what your worship. For a priestess of Kith this isn't a problem at all.

  7. Loved the banter. I was grinning by the time Errod was. Kith-Alyssia wastes no time--my kinda gal.

  9. "god of war, madness and literature." Now, there's a deity I can get behind. Wonderful dialogue too!

    1. I admit, I'm kind of in love with Kith. Like other fantasy series, the gods occasionally show up in Dungeon Crawl, and Kith is one of my favorite to write. :o)

  10. I smell a trap! Lure him back to her temple for some "fun" and then BAM! ritual sacrifice.

    1. They're about to go into battle, picking out a lover just before a major offensive is the kind of madness Kith supports.

    1. That's what happens when you create gods during NaNo. It made perfect sense at the time.

  12. War, madness, AND literature? My kind of god. I could be her/his prophet! Love it.

    1. Madness and literature always go together well, and several war gods were also gods of poetry. I figured... why not? Someone has to write the epics. :)

    2. Errod sounds refreshingly unpretentious.

    3. Errod is a wonderful man as long as you are on his side. He has some secrets, and they're not the "I wear fuzzy bunny slippers!" kind of secrets.

  13. Oh, fun! Can't wait to read more.
