We gained on our quarry with every passing second but they weren’t aware of us in the slightest. I could see them clearly now, twenty to thirty Croca-Beasts at various stages of evolution surrounded by a similar number of other, first strata Dungeon monsters. In the centre of the pack, a large hulking form ran surrounded by their more diminutive …

Tiny, Crinis and I hauled ourselves out of our temporary respite home to join Morrelia on the surface. [What happened to the survivors of Midum?] I queried. [They’re getting their stuff together and heading south as quick as their legs will carry them. It might take them awhile to get on the road though, they have almost the entire city …

Holy mother of all that is good and gracious in this world, puh-lease let me make it alive! I’m burning up! The light is fading! My soul is running before the light! Is that you mum? What is that you say? You wish I’d never been born? Get the hell out of my death vision, human mum! Bring out my …

I’ve started to come around to the general idea that I’m stupid. I mean, I’d considered that perhaps I was a little impulsive, Gandalf knows my decision making ‘process’ could, when written down, fit on the back of stamp with enough room left over for a drawing of Tiny poking himself in the eyes. But I’d never considered myself to …

“This is a right ploppin’, that’s for sure” Isaac Bird growled as he fell back from the cracks in the door. The water he’d seen had sliced through monsters as if they weren’t even there, not to mention the other monsters he’d seen as they battered against the horde assembled outside the warehouse. How could he explain it? Had some …

It’s a factor of the Dungeon that I find has been curiously understudied, the fact that the denizens of that place, the monsters in all their various forms, change over time. One hundred years ago the tower lead a detailed study into the menace of the Scorpionem genus that had been terrorising the Dungeon under Enlightened Alliance lands. And now? …

The city of Midum was burning at an impressive rate as we approached. As we drew closer the sound of combat began to ring in the distance, roaring monsters, shouting people and the clash of steel on claw. In a lucky break, the gates of the city were already demolished, overwhelmed by whatever creatures had arrived before us. The wooden …

Damn … I  need some mana. After running around the surface, we’ve managed to find a whole heap of nothin’. Ruined buildings, burned out farms and abandoned homes. All the while my core is leaking mana into the air. Checking my MP told me that I still had around half of my full tank, but I’m a little nervous about …

Not long after the Eldest had departed the colony, Cobalt stood in the Queens chamber watching the small Aphid Queen amble about under the watchful eye of his mother. Another ridiculous, unheard of practice, brought to life with a seeming absence of effort at the hands of the first of their kind. The Eldest puzzled the Council of twenty, as …

It takes several more hours of hard travel before we make it to the first group of building we’ve seen on our journey. A small cluster of farmhouses built close to each other, a family holding perhaps or a collection of folks gathering together for protection and company. We spot the buildings a long way out. The tall, pointed roofs …
