As soon as Akira managed to climb out of the silver sand dunes of the half-collapsed tunnel he found himself in a rock outcrop with many boulders scattered everywhere. A hand was shoved in front of his face holding a large waterskin. “Use this to wash off the silver sand and dust,” said Beater, who was still dripping wet from …

Flash! Akira and the others were spat out into a medium-sized underground cave which was lit up by the white portal for a few seconds before disappearing. Akira quickly counted everyone to make sure that no one was missing and found that the old man from the dungeon had indeed not come out with them… “We should rest here so …

A thick low fog covering all that could be seen was parted as a bright red light exploded outwards. When the bright red light dissipated Akira was able to see once again. He quickly scanned the area around him but found nothing near him ready to attack. Each of the werewolf warriors sniffed the air to scan the surrounding area …

Akira, not sure what to do, looked to those around him and they only shrugged, not sure what to do either. “Uh… sir?” said Zundar, unsure who he was talking to. “We’re a group of adventurers who came to clear this dungeon.” “So you’re trapped here as well?” asked the voice behind the wooden door. “I guess you could say …

We finished collapsing the last tunnel. Most of the workers are now focused on plugging any gaps they find. While the rest have been tasked with strengthening the …

In a border city several days away from the thief city. “The city has fallen to the barbarian forces,” said a skinny Oni who was hidden in the shadows of the tall dark building they were standing inside. “I told those undying people that their limited forces were not enough to hold such a city… go accept the offer from …

Akira looked at the forked road in front of him. If he continued to lead everyone down the straight path they would quickly reach the drawbridge that led into the high-walled Thief City. If this was the only entrance then they would be in trouble. “Take the right path,” said Zundar, translating for Spearia. “Riht…” muttered Spearia, repeating the word. …

Akira looked at the rising morning sun for several moments before returning to stare in the direction of a road that led to the distant sea where Kodria’s ships were stationed. “It’s already several hours past the agreed meeting time… what is taking them so long?” muttered an impatient Akira. “Yap!” said Fluffball as he sat down on Akira’s armored …
