[How’s it going over there Tiny? Crinis?] [We’ll win, but it’s going to take time!] [Take care and make sure of it, we don’t need to rush!] I don’t think… although, looking at Grokus as the massive demon looms over me, that I’ll be able to finish this quickly. If the gravity bomb doesn’t manage to inflict massive damage on …

Say what I will about Grokus, he’s an intimidating sight when he’s up and moving. However much I weigh in my tier six body, the demon has me massively outclassed. Not only is he taller, but his girth is also considerably wider. And if I were to hazard a guess, his demon flesh and musculature is far denser than my …

As cool as he’d tried to play it, Isaac wasn’t exactly pleased to be where he was. The ground beneath him felt like fire against his boots and the air itself scorched his lungs whenever he took a breath. Sweat fell in a constant stream from his brow and he’d stopped bothering to try and wipe it from his eyes. …

My tour through Renewal had been just wonderful, but it was only a portion, merely half of the equation when it came to this remarkable place. The people I met were delightful, open and friendly folks who had pieced their lives back together after an unspeakable tragedy. I can’t speak highly enough of them, really! On the other hand, I …

Grokus had known that something was brewing in the stratum above. A pesky Colony of ants led by an unusually large specimen, he hadn’t thought it would anything that he couldn’t manage, but this! This was absurd! The constant rain of acid had begun soon after the spears landed in the city, coating everything, including himself, in the burning liquid. …

I knew that the Colony would make a move to conquer a portion of the third stratum, it’s practically a requirement for us to grow enough that we will be able to survive, but I didn’t think it was going to start this soon! Holy moly, they must have worked themselves half to death up there! Smoke is rising from …

“Are you sure this is going to work?” Sloan asked Cobalt tentatively. “Sure? Of course I’m sure?! Did you think I sat around here crunching numbers between my mandibles for twenty hours just for the heck of it?!” “All right! I just wanted to check, please, keep working,” the general made a tactical retreat to where several other council members …

Grokus enjoyed being a city lord for a few, very simple reasons. First, it meant that he didn’t have to put up with anything getting between himself and the only thing that gave him satisfaction in life, eating, and second it meant that he had a city full of demons who he could force to provide the abundant amount of …

It’s a comforting thought that here, even two strata out of date, my mandibles are still capable of getting the job done. OMEN CHOMP! With a crunch that reverberates off the walls, the dark mandibles of manifest energy slam shut, causing devastating damage to the poor demons caught within. Before the caster demon can even begin to weave a spell …

Translucent spirit demons of vestigial obsession are thankfully less common than more mundane threats in the tunnels. That first ‘ghost’ was a bit of a pain to deal with, mostly because I was so hesitant to approach the ghastly thing in the first place. Tiny helped by growing bored of my slow creep forward and blasted the thing in the …
