The Descendants 101 – The Battle of Freeland House

This entry is part 6 of 39 in the series Current

When the LSI Headquarters had been a domestic government black site, it had been built with the idea of temporarily housing both high risk informants and prisoners for interrogation. So it came as no surprise that there were cells on the lower levels.

Given the nature of the threats LSI and specifically The Descendants dealt with, those cells were woefully inadequate even if they were in the business of keeping covert prisoners. At least they hadn’t been until they gained a voluntary one in the form of a centuries-old magical construct wearing the face of a friend.

Such problems have been evidenced by the lack of weekly articles, a less than stellar update schedule, and even fewer books being released.

The next two weeks are going to be especially difficult, as we’re going to have to switch hotels while still looking for apartments and I’m trying very hard to put together an IndieGoGo/Kickstarter/GoFundMe for World of Ere d20.
