Fortune had it that Jeshal was not using his metal claw to hold his drinking vessel. It would surely have buckled. Anithias’ arrogance and stubbornness had always been his undoing so it did not surprise Jeshal that the golden fox had got into bother with another power. Vaelora? Who by the fur...

The older fox gave an amiable snort at Ruffano's openness. Helpful to know when he could or couldn't count on him and so Jeshal had already begun networking. Whether he planned on using anything remained to be seen. After grinning through Pomodu's first question, Jeshal nearly choked on his...

As he signalled to the barbeast to top up his flagon, Jeshal absorbed Ruffano's information with relish. Much of it was clearly the fox's own woes, but Jeshal knew never to be dismissive of anybeast's plight. Their desires could be useful and their fires not wise to be ignored. How many had...

Providing Jesh might be permitted to have one specimen he got from his days smuggling on Kutoroka that has been tinkered with by Tox, I'd like to request one matchlock be added to his inventory and to cash in 5,000 influence for 1 Novice point in Matchlock?

Jeshal flashed his one very expensive coin at the bartender but did not relinquish it yet, inferring he would hand it over once sufficient drinks had been imbibed by everyone present. He had made no attempt to assist in correcting Pomodu about Red Stuff, seeing that the barbeast had things under...

(The following is an edited old VI thread. It introduces Sorrona, Yaro Ashpaw's mother, who in contemporary VI is locked away with wildcat madness. It also includes the first time Jeshal met his now wife, Tanya, face-to-face. Other main participants are: Xhavek Mokorai, Armina Rogue (who turned...

Having wiped off enough of his ghost makeup not to cause more of a scene than he already would, Jeshal strode in through the door of the Bilge in the Bucket with his new companions in tow, a theatrical todd and a huge and excitable red panda. "Feast your peepers, mateys!" he called to the...

Impressed, even if a touch disappointed, by Soren’s decision to be an upstanding citizen, Jeshal retained his smile. He had learnt a long time ago how to keep his emotions in check, how to bide his time, at least around those he wasn’t close to. Ha! The clever little rodent was binding him into...

Frimary 8, Yr. 1731 A Fallen Inspiration By Z. Wyndshard I would like to dedicate this edition of the Smelt to a fallen inspiration, Brian Jaques. Mr. Jaques was not only inspiration for the Vulpine Imperium but for many of us that role play here. I remember the first time I picked up a...
