Link to first chapter (or use Fossil to download the wiki). Ongoing. A Fossil repository is used to record it. Select "Tickets" to add comments (you must first log in anonymously). This is to record the events of the game, but can also make a story; we can correct it (adding details, moving stuff to/from footnotes, etc) if necessary. This is public domain. (And if you think I am wrong, complain (perhaps with an indented point). If you are sufficiently certain I am wrong, just change it please!) (Once fixed up a bit, and considered good enough to move to main space, you might do so.)

List of tropes:
 * Alternative Calendar: Sort of. The zero reference is the last leap year on or before the events of the story. However, this is used only in the description of the story itself, not by the characters of the story (which use a calendar which is not described).
 * Cast From Hit Points: Ziveruskex's magic spells (which, he does not use a lot, anyways; he isn't as good at magic as real mages, and regardless of the cost generally prefers to use mundane solutions when possible, but will use magic sometimes).
 * Celibate Hero: Ziveruskex. Simply doesn't want to, rather than for religious reasons. (It is, however, still a vow.)
 * Extra Eyes: Strixan and Ziveruskex, due to their species.
 * Fantastic Racism: A man who is neither a passenger nor the driver (nor any kind of authority related to the situation) refuses to let Ziveruskex onto a carriage, because he "doesn't let ugly monsters in this carriage". (It has later been asked by people outside of the story: Do they let beautiful monsters in this carriage?)
 * GURPS
 * Locked Door: They turn the wood door into metal so that you can't break it.
 * Mad Mathematician: Ziveruskex likes mathematics, writes mathematics in his books, and invented calculus in medieval times. (Shown only a little bit so far in the story, but it will be shown some more later perhaps.)
 * Magic Wand: Bob has one, but its effects are unpredictable. Once it turned himself invisible (while attempting to use it on a rock), once it turned a beast into a rabbit, once it caused money to fall out of his ears (while trying to use the wand to attack someone), etc.
 * Old British Money: This is the money used in the story.
 * Plot Coupon: The gold amulet with a ruby. Maybe.
 * Spell Book: Ziv's spell book not only has the spells written in it, but he is not a mage, only the book is a mage, so he need to hold the book in order to cast spells from it.
 * Technical Pacifist: Ziveruskex refuses to use harmful attacks on horrific monsters.
 * Ugly Hero, Good-Looking Villain: Sometimes (although who considers someone else "ugly" can also differ).
 * Weapon of Choice: Bob uses sword and dagger. Domag uses sword. Strixan uses whip, crossbow, breath attack, and bite. Ziveruskex uses shield (to bash as well as defend), breath attack, and bite.
 * You Are Too Late: Reversed; the bad guy is too late because the heroes can fly and block the chimney, it takes the other guys much too longer to correct the problem; during this time we can go inside and look around and move things. Type II.
