It is something of a fascination of mine, I admit it Beoram. Do you not feel the same? Such brief conversations have such far reaching consequences. Two, separate, strong minded, high level individuals, in positions of authority and respect come into contact with these ancient murder machines (I know you consider it blasphemous but let us not quibble about the …

[Stop wriggling!] Came the irritated thoughts of the monster. Granin resolutely continued to wriggle. He wasn’t about to remain locked in the jaws of a monster that wasn’t under his direct control! [If you don’t settle down I’ll either drop you and leave you for the silver surfer back there, or I’ll start to wonder who your cult would rather …

The gate emerged into a dark tunnel, the tell-tale black veins of mana threaded through the walls signalled that they remained in the second strata, but Granin knew they have travelled a great distance. Over a hundred kilometres in fact. The delving party were now firmly within the territory claimed by Galgarin the empire to the east of Liria, beyond …

The pain Granin had been experiencing in his head had only grown more pronounced as they continued to travel toward the Golgari gateway network. Having banned his two fellow triad members from conversing with the specimen, he was forced to take responsibility for all communication onto his own shoulders. This had quickly proven to be both irritating and exasperating. Being …

“Are you alright, Granin?” The old Shaper raised his head wearily to meet the concerned gaze of his youngest triad member. Torrinna Laksham gleamed in the darkness of the Shadow Realm, a product of the ore she’d been able to obtain to form her True Skin, an infused variant of Manganese she’d stumbled on by chance. He tried not to …

A fearsome pressure was exerted from the powerful monster. Even surrounded and tied down with heavy weights, Granin couldn’t help but take a step back as that voice echoed in his mind through their link. He swallowed hard and sought to quickly clarify himself. [You’ve spoken to one of my order before. A Kaarmodo, named Ivran’tep?] A pause. [The Wizard …

Granin felt hopeful in his heart as moved closer to the creature. He had anticipated this moment since he had been informed a new ancient candidate had been identified. Even better, one whom the Abyssal Legion was ignorant of. He’d had to exert a great deal of effort, alongside the other members of the cult, to put together a few …

It was to us that the Ancient the world would come to know as Yarrum The Eternal Worm would come. Deep below the Mother Mountain, the Everworm rose during the time of Rending and our elders did contend with that great ancient. We were arrogant in that time. Our bones were as strong as the stone in which we made …

Well, nards. This isn’t ideal, not even close. Enemies below, enemies in front. With these new groups popping out of nowhere, my mind is starting to conjure stone faced hunters leaping out of the shadows in every direction, ready to drag me to  the ground and peel of my carapace. It’s not going to happen, I won’t let it! [We’re …

Turns out that our rest doesn’t last for long. When an opportunity comes along in dire circumstances such as these, I’m not going to say no! After thirty minutes of catching our breath and healing up, Crinis perks up a few seconds before I notice it also. A strong reaction from my mana sense, below us. From the glow of …
