Chapter 4. Stone, paper, scissors
Finn smiled as he ran the thin silver chain of Vies' necklace
through his fingers. A small flat pendant hung from it with a
simple "V" engraved on it.
He found it when he got back to Oxford and unpacked his things.
Vie had slipped it into his pocket when they'd said their goodbyes
at the train station in St.Ives.
How long ago was that?
It couldn't be more than a year, but it already seemed like
a lifetime ago.

Authors Note
I will add to this chapter in the next few days and weeks.
This is my first attempt at writing in this form.
It has been - and still is - a constant process of addition,
subtraction, revision, reflection, revelation and self education.
Thank you for taking the time to read what I have written.

This Used to be About Dungeons
This Used to be About Dungeons is a comfy slice-of-life adventuring story that occasionally features dungeons. Updates Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Mostly it's about walking in the woods with a friend, looking for mushrooms to put in your soup, or haggling with the guy selling squash, or taking care of a neglected garden. It's putting some jam on shortbread biscuits. And yes, sometimes you go down into the dungeons with your friends, and you kill monsters there, or disarm traps, but when you come out, you realize you've found the perfect magic item to give to one of the local kids that helped you out when your cat was sick. Look, the dungeons are always going to be there, and sometimes you need to make a journey to one of the Spirit Gates, or make a pilgrimage with the local Cleric of Symmetry to a holy shrine. Your tour through the local dungeons can wait. You'll have rivalries with other groups, and find some dungeon eggs that need to be carefully incubated in case they turn out to be something valuable, and help a friend to build a fishing weir. There's a big world out there, a mostly tame place with lots of magic, and even more to do and see. Join me, won't you?The cover image is Morning Sunlight Effect, Eragny, by Camille Pissarro.
