I wolf down the remains of the creature as quickly as possible, not willing to leave myself vulnerable on open ground any longer than I have to. I myself dropped out of a stone wall and this unfortunate being crawled up out of the floor, which means there could be more of my kind ready to appear at a moment’s …

My body was… strange. Certainly far from ideal for my purposes. I still possess the normal senses one would expect, sight, smell, sound, touch and taste, perhaps even better than I’d experienced as a human, but the configuration of his physical form… not so much. As far as I can tell, I’m a legless, fleshy blob with two deceptively powerful …

Dead, huh. Can’t say I’m surprised, rather, if I was any less skilful then I wouldn’t have lasted nearly as long as I did. To think that the greatest assassin the underground had ever known would go out in such a fashion. It hurts my pride to even think about it. Had I been too focused on the target? I …

Enid wasn’t sure if the three gigantic ants were just humouring her or were in fact genuinely interested in the tea.

I’m just so stressed.” “And tired? Maybe you should sleep! Torpor usually takes care of that. So I’m told, I don’t do it much. I find …

“Ensure you hit your targets, here, here and here. With these junctions secured, the digging teams will be able to move relatively unhindered. That’s where the difficulty comes in. You’ll need to make sure that the crossroads remains blocked and sweep out spawning monsters at the same time. I know that’s going to be hard, but we can’t spare the …

The nameless one came back to herself precisely eight hours later, rested and refreshed. Truly the greatest experience of torpor could only be enjoyed here, on the fulcrum of eight amongst her fellow members of the order. As the rest of those on her shift came awake and began to move off their segment they greeted each other in the …

The nameless one idled against the side of a tunnel for a brief moment, checking her surrounds. Activity had been furious within the nest ever since the siege had lifted and opportunities to enter the Dark Passage had been harder to come across. Thankfully, the Eldest blessed her and the tunnel was, for this brief window of time, empty. She …
