By Chaz Hamilton and HammurabiID #s : 22349 and 22430Hello, Sentinel Readers. This is Chaz Hamilton, back with another of my In The Room interviews. This time my efforts come with a twist. We aren’t in a room at all.Today, I'm coming from just outside one of New Amsterdam’s police departments where I have been told that Hammurabi was sighted bringing in a new batch of miscreants. I’m going to try to get a word with this reincarnated king from ancient Babylon. If anyone is familiar with the...

Quark sat up in the back of the BADGE shuttle with Chase and Gar on either side. He looked like he had the world’s worst hangover as he downed a large bottle of vodka.Chase said, “Good thing we found that abandoned liquor store in Reykjavik.”Quark groaned, “I have never been so out of my head. I don’t know what happened. The last thing I remember was the fight at Fort Knox. No, wait... I remember a chair and a lot of pain. I heard voices, or really another voice in my head.”Nova asked, “Who was...

Heroes Rising Fiction: Strange November Part 12

 Heroes flooded over the small volcanic island of Surtsey. Krampus took a barrage of weapons fire, superpowers, and direct punches. Lord Dragon swooped and spun around the heroes as he used their aid to fight his enemy.Drift, as a shadowy figure, zoomed across the field, then took physical form and threw a pair of large blades. Drift became shadow again and spend up toward Krampus as Lord Dragon slammed him in the face. Using the opening, Drift attempted to throw another blade right into Krampus’s...

 The members of the WMD league muttered and raged inside their special holding cells. An especially large cell held Midgardsormr with many extra restraints and anti-arcane devices. None of the heroes were very coherent, other than screaming about destroying the world.“Would you guys just shut the hell up? I’m try’n ta sleep!” Skelanimal yelled.Midgardsormr’s voice echoed down the hall, “I WILL EAT THIS WORLD!”“Oh, give it a rest, you big lizard!” Skelanimal turned over and put his hands over...

Chase floated in this darkness, neither falling nor flying. It was like being in space, or what she imaged it would be like. A hand reached out and took hers. It was Gar.“Chase.” He spoke, but his voice was miles away.She answered him, but even to her own ears, the sound was distant. She pointed toward Quark. Gar got the message and left her to get a grip on their friend. Wrapping an arm around his chest, Gar took hold of Quark and then reached back for Chase. He moved his wings and flailed his...

CRYSTALS - HOW THEY WORK AND WHERE TO GET THEM

by Togoode/Shinobi (PID# 12205)So, you’re new to the game and in search of power but you’re a free or budget player. What do you do? First, knowledge is power.

 Lord Dragon sat before a small shrine dedicated to his late wife. Small paintings of her decorated the elegant memorial. Five piles of melted wax remained from the long-since spent candles. Only a tiny shaft of light creeping through a meager opening near the door allowed light. One would assume he was merely a statue, a memorial himself to the mighty leader of the Mythics.Suddenly a red glow filled the room for a moment. Crusted layers of gathered dust fell from his clothes, cobwebs broke...

 Skelanimal jumped to his feet when he watched Midgard go down. He backed up, getting away from the edge. “Oh, crap. This ain’t good.”Tapping his communicator, he called out, “Krampus. I’m gonna need help. My team is down. I ain’t got anyone to transport me back. Krampus?” There was nothing but fuzz.Heroes moved away. Zooming off or boarding their vehicles. A few remained to work with the authorities on cleanup and rescue. Some also worked with BADGE to bring in the WMD members.“Okay, so they’re...

 Krampus worked carefully at his station. The ruby was now three parts, all the shards were combined to these three. He used special tools to push two of the sections together. When they met, the blending process began and the cracks between them slowly sealed.“How goes the battle?” Krampus asked.Chase, standing at the monitor, watched dozens of videos. “They have taken down most of the enemies. I think only that big serpent remains, and he’s not going down.”Krampus chuckled, “Midgardsormr...

To Tug or Not to Tug, that is the Question-

by Timebender #10897A lot of people are getting disenchanted with the tug of war events. Perhaps I am biased because I have always been on the winning side of these events (which is pretty odd really), but the way I see it the events are an investment.You are investing something like 30 to 60 battles over a 2 or 3 day period to get a card worth at least 40 morphons, and you get another such card if you are on the winning side. That adds up to something like a morphon every 1.5 battles. That seems...

The Wizard blasted spell after spell, destroying more property and sending police, military, and heroes flying everywhere.Dracomeander ran head-long at The Wizard. Time slowed slightly as he blasted into his super-speed. At just the right moment, he jumped up to deliver a fire fueled fist...
