The Library
The door to the Mead Hall swings open as your eyes peer within. The dim lights above sway as another crash of thunder ovetakes your hearing. Its almost dark as night inside as you take a few steps in. a slow and near eerie creaking causes you to turn in alarm, a hand upon the hilt of your sword. Your eyes watch as the door to the Mead hall closes itself, a cold metallic latching sends a chill down your spine. As you look upon the old wood of the door a letter is hanging on the back of the aged door. Hung upon the ancient oak by a number of sharpened harpins is a piece of parchment. There is writing in a black ink that says "Welcome to the Mead Hall, Resident AM Froggbeastegg" you can't help but notice that the name is crossed out, and below is scribbled the name "Monk". It appears as if there was a change in leadership some time ago.
You turn and put yourself at ease, it appears that the Hall is rather empty this time of day. Many tables are scattered around the hall as a few patrons sit and drink, telling their own stories to any who will listen. As you begin walking you spy a bulletin board on one of the walls, not much seems to be going on so you pay it no heed. As you reach the bar there doesn't seem to be anyone working; you glance to your right and see one of the corners of the hall nearly overcome by stacks of books. A single table sits there with a chair against the wall. Above the table there's a simple wooden sign "Froggy's book corner", the sign is wooden and the letters are etched into its surface. You're not sure what to make of it as you look to the other corner to your left; where a mountain of crumpled papers lay around a table. Countless more pages lay on the floor and hung on the wall by asorted knives and pens. Who could even sit in such disaray? You spy a hooden figure asleep at the table, his head in his arms. It's most likely the AM, afterall he's said to walk around with a hood over his head. Why no one really knows...
You pat the the bar as a voice calls out from a door that had escaped your eye before. "yeah, yeah!" it calls in frustration and disapointment. "I'll be right there!". Soon afterward a man steps out and into the room, as he walks over to the bar and grabs a glass. Before you can even tell him what you want he begins cleaning it out and tending to his own business. You watch him curiously before he finally says "Well, ya gonna order something or just stand there all day?" His response draws a slight smile from you. you take a deep breath and look around you, responding "Sure. Wine will do." He opens a green bottle and pours a scarlet liquid into the glass. You ask curiously "So, what stories are good here?"
The bartender smiles as he looks at you. He nods over to a door, hidden by a shadow. "The Library's through there." he says as he sits the bottle down
This thread is for the purpose of posting links to good but old stories that have slipped to pages 2 and beyond. Stories that were good but have been lost to time. I've also rounded up the art posts made/ Done my best to include stories that are major and those that have their plots finished. If i missed yours send PM and I'll update. Some stories that i've linked to are unfinished, but they are still good. please not i've only added stories from page 2 and back...
Note: some of our oldest stories were here before the .org moved to a new host. If you encounter "" marks that have dissapeared and are not where they should be, that is why. somehow they got lost in the move (don't ask me how...)
UPDATE 1-5: Dealt with link fixes, added new stories ect.
UPDATE 6: added new stories on Luden's request.
UPDATE 7: added new stories, added story contest.
last update: 8-14-05

) contests that doesn't necessarily need real world rewards. Indeed, the best reward for a writer is an honorary title of any kind. Why - a sticky thread for every contests that will post the winners' stories for read (kind of like a collection of 1st winning stories being putted into one "contest-winning stories" post for all who are interested to read) would be a good idea.
