Return of the VYA

Yup, the title is right. The story is returning.

Now, there are a few caveats to this. My plan is to release the next part every Monday in October, starting on the 1st. The one posted on October 29 will be the last one until December, then. November is NaNoWriMo: National Novel Writing Month. I will be writing all of November, and I’ll try to get the next part done then as well. But, it won’t get posted until Dec.

Sorry about the long hiatus. This summer has been really odd for my family, and it’s been hard to find any time for writing. Other than November, I’m not planning any long breaks. Thanks for being patient!

Hero’s Tale VYA – Part 8 Results

This small little community has more secrets than Bardulf thought. He’s come upon a cell with slaves to trade. The choice was to free them, or not.

A) Help the slaves escape. – 4 Votes
B) Leave them and find the exit. – 0 Votes

Not many votes. That’s ok, I think most people would lean in that direction anyway. Let’s hope this doesn’t backfire on Bardulf.

As I stated, I’m going on a bit of a hiatus. I’ve got a couple of goals to take care of before I return. The blog may go down for a day or two because of some of that work. See everyone soon!

Added another vote for A that I missed when I closed the voting.

Voting is closed now. Thanks everyone!

This is the eighth part of the Hero’s Tale Vote Your Adventure story. More information can be found here. If you need to catch up, check out the Vote Your Adventure link at the top of the page. I have links to all the previous entries setup there. This time, I’m giving you two weeks before I close voting. As I mentioned earlier, I’m going to put work on the story on a hiatus while I work on some other projects. I want to make sure everyone has time to vote.

The tavern upstairs was full of people. Bardulf didn’t trust anyone up there. For all he knew, they could all be working together. He thought he would have a better chance finding an exit here in the basement.

He knelt down and pulled the knife out of the body. The voices in the hallway were getting closer. Bardulf wiped the knife off and slid it into his belt before stepping closer to the doorway to listen.

“The buyers will be here in three days,” said a man.

“Maybe we can include that stranger who was sniffing around for the boss,” another man replied.

VYA Part 8 Update

No post yet, I’m sorry. But it isn’t for lack of writing. I finished some edits yesterday, and thought about posting that version. After looking over it again, though, I don’t feel comfortable doing so. It just doesn’t feel up to par. So, back to edits. I will have it ready ASAP!

Thanks for the votes, everyone! Seems like things aren’t so cut and dry in this little border village. So, Where should Bardulf go from here?

A) Sneak up the stairs into the inn. – 2 Votes
B) Find the basement entrance. – 3 Votes

We’re going to try sneaking around to find that basement entrance. Will Bardulf be successful? Tune in next week. Same Ranger-time, same Ranger-website. (ok, so that really doesn’t work for anyone but the Caped Crusader, does it…)
