It seems the Krath are planning on being more cautious this time around. That’s honestly more what I expected from them as opposed to their rather upfront and gung-ho approach we’ve witnessed till now.
Everything we know about them says that the slug tribes are the wiliest, most ...
2024-10-04 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostRurin felt the clash of her blade against another person’s for the first time in her life and found she didn’t like it.
The Soldier was good, well trained and equipped, with a shining steel breastplate and helmet that radiated with enchantments. They blocked her slash and immediately mo...
2024-10-03 02:00:02 +0000 UTC View PostHmm. As pleased as I was to find the first signs of the Krath, it soon becomes apparent that something different is going on here. There’s too many of them. I haven’t even been here that long and I’ve found dozens of them! That’s too many!
They couldn’t have known ...
2024-10-02 14:00:14 +0000 UTC View PostOnce I’ve got the all clear from the healers and assured Crinis that I’m not dead, nor have I been teleported to some distant, horrific part of the Dungeon, I’m free to go on my next errand!
Namely: find some Krath and make them regret showing their slimy faces around the Colon...
2024-10-02 11:05:19 +0000 UTC View PostTyron took one last glance behind him at the Jorlin manor. There was little he could do to fully conceal his presence there. The signs of the Abyss, the ritual magick he’d performed, and the stench of death magick would remain, hanging thick in the air for any mage to find. The better on...
2024-10-01 02:00:04 +0000 UTC View Post“I hate the fifth,” Morrelia groaned.
“So you’ve said,” Joshen noted, “several times.”
“Did you do officer training here, tribune?” she asked, peering at the surroundings with open dislike.
She’d hoped never to come back here after the hellish officer ...
2024-10-01 02:00:04 +0000 UTC View PostI’m not used to having to come back to my family with news of failure, though it feels like it’s becoming more of a thing lately, and I’m not happy about it. I can’t wait until we crush this stratum in its entirety so I can run around smacking the slugs about with my antennae. With...
2024-09-30 05:07:24 +0000 UTC View PostTotally thought I'd scheduled this post. Sorry folks!
The ball of mana is incredibly dense, and from this close, I can see the dark green energy twisting and spitting virulently. This venom mana is unlike anything I’ve seen before. Not quite like acid, not quite li...

As well as figuratively!
I keep snapping new shields into existence just as fast as they get eaten away, all the while building and weaving the dense mana necessary for the well. Naturally, ...
2024-09-26 02:27:47 +0000 UTC View PostFollowing the bone giant, a horde of smaller skeletons emerged, some bearing cauldrons of bone that they planted on the ground and began to activate.
“Charge!” bellowed Captain Janus. “Don’t give them time!”
Following his own words, the high level Soldier blasted forwards, s...

2024-09-25 05:00:40 +0000 UTC View PostThe problem with trying to get my mandibles on these newly spawning monsters, is that they’re rare and only just beginning to appear in these tunnels. There are plenty of areas within the safe-zone where they aren’t appearing yet, and when they do pop up, the Colony is, of course, deal...
2024-09-24 05:46:55 +0000 UTC View PostHerath Jorlin stirred in his sleep. Something tickled at the edge of his awareness, a touch as light as the fluttering wings of a butterfly brushing against his cheek. He would never have noticed at all, left to his wine-induced slumber, if only it hadn’t persisted.
His brow furrow...
2024-09-24 02:00:03 +0000 UTC View PostThe Eldest is sleeping now, which is only right. They will wake eventually, of course they will, but hopefully, by that time, we will not need them to achieve the work.
If all goes well, we will complete our objective without having to disturb the Eldest at all. My only ...
2024-09-23 06:44:14 +0000 UTC View PostNot for the first time, Preston wished he were out fighting. He turned his head away from the empty road in front of them toward the Soldier beside him, a footman named Rylat, with the tanned complexion of someone from further south.
Probably explained his odd name.

2024-09-19 11:06:54 +0000 UTC View PostDrenan Ebert, leader of the Hooligans Slayer team and bronze ranked Hammerman, was not quite sure how to react to the scene in front of his eyes.
It could have been the skeleton with the snake bones dangling from his pelvis that had him so off-balance, but likely not. After all, he...

2024-09-18 07:18:12 +0000 UTC View PostWell, this is awkward.
I knew it would be. I mean, obviously, it was going to be awkward, anyone could have foreseen that. But now that I’m here, in the moment, I really wish I hadn’t been so ready to acquiesce to this particular demand.
Anthony of the past, why are ...
2024-09-18 07:16:59 +0000 UTC View PostZluth was instinctively uncomfortable, and judging by the body language and expressions of his fellow Krath, they felt the same way. Of all the dangers in the fifth, there were none more deadly than the slug tribes, even to each other, and as long as he had lived, Zluth had never&...
2024-09-18 07:15:04 +0000 UTC View Post“Is it really necessary for me to be here for this?” Goszi burbled unhappily. “My foot aches like I dipped it in an acid swamp. I’m too old to be traipsing around the tunnels on a long journey.”
Zluth didn’t bother to dignify that with a response. The older Krath took...

There was only the slightest pause before Jern replied. He must have been passing on the Commander's words as she spoke them.
“You ma...
2024-09-13 02:00:01 +0000 UTC View PostTyron had never expected that choosing to specialise in skeletons would require him to become such an expert in physiology. It was entirely possible there were medical professionals out there who knew less about muscles and ligaments than he did. Bleary eyed, he stared at the diagram in fr...

Morrelia just nodded, but Joshen snapped out a salute.
“Of course, Commander. Your briefing was very thorough.”
Arrayed in his spotless dress uniform, her fellow Tribune was,...

I send bomb after bomb at the lousy thing. Obviously they aren’t large ones, or overly empowered. The Colony is close enough that if I were to unleash my full strength, they, the ...
2024-09-10 02:57:18 +0000 UTC View PostSo, a giant turtle wants to throw down with me? Hah! It’s nothing but a snack in my eyes. Though… it’s a pretty darn big snack.
Now that it isn’t covered by the goop, I can get a better sense of its core, and it’s definitely weaker than mine. This is a tier seven monster wh...
