Solus rushed after Oytach, surprised at the other's pace. The return trip was faster than the first few times he had made it, mainly because Oytach seemed unworried about drawing any attention.
Why aren't more of those Sludgies coming to...
2021-11-27 12:33:36 +0000 UTC View PostSolus didn't try to be quiet as he ran between the crystals, intentionally knocking against them with his flanks and shoulders and scratching the ground with his nails.
The blobs heard him instantly and turned around before he was even halfw...
2021-11-26 13:25:07 +0000 UTC View PostGreggor slunk through the dark city, trying to be as inconspicuous as his massive bulk would allow. He still wasn't used to his new body, not the fact that he towered over almost all other undead and drew far more attention than he liked, nor that...
2021-11-25 19:52:07 +0000 UTC View PostSolus was barely conscious. They were deep in the cave now, and it was warm and dark. His vision switched between black and purple as if his night vision was turning on and off. Blurry, angular shapes moved from left to right in a steady, swirling...
2021-11-24 20:01:05 +0000 UTC View PostA dark cloud shot across the city, over the walls, and into the hills beyond. Only a few undead noticed its passing, and of those that did, only a single one knew what it meant.
Three undead stood atop a building, the lead one a towering Gol...
2021-11-23 18:08:10 +0000 UTC View PostSolus stopped talking, and it remained quiet in the dusty room as the undead gazed at him. He was lying on the table, his head on his paws, and the others stood or sat in a half-circle around him. Drys was looking a little better while two piles o...
2021-11-22 19:38:56 +0000 UTC View Post"Have you heard from the others in the hills?" the Golliarn muttered as he rubbed his back against the wall of the compound.
It was getting dark outside, and his replacement would be here any moment.
"Egridh was here a few days ago. Sh...
2021-11-21 20:32:37 +0000 UTC View PostTirella couldn't hold back a sigh as she swallowed another piece of the hot and tender wyrm flesh.
"Didn't you want to go to the Patternhall?" Gregor asked at the other side of the table as he chewed loudly. Small bits of flesh spat across t...
2021-11-20 13:15:04 +0000 UTC View Post"Could you bloody hurry up already?"
Sumil didn't respond to Galg but took a look over her shoulder. The half a dozen monstrosities were even closer than before. A blue flash of lightning shot from next to her, appearing in front in an insta...
2021-11-19 16:45:45 +0000 UTC View PostTirella looked around at the mass of undead that moved to and from the building at the end of the otherwise dead-ended corridor. Most were zombies, but there were plenty of odd fleshies that made her curious. One even had four legs, although the f...
2021-11-18 17:24:03 +0000 UTC View PostSolus and Laron were less than a hundred feet from the first buildings when a group of undead moved to intercept them. The leader was a massive undead of a kind that Solus hadn't seen before. He was bare-chested and with his hands clutched to fist...
2021-11-17 19:07:38 +0000 UTC View PostSolus looked at the line far in the distance. It wasn't much now, but he knew what it was.
Home.
"Further, further, always further."
Laron was singing softly as he trudged forward, Sig's body draped across his shoulders. Wi...
2021-11-16 17:40:54 +0000 UTC View PostTirella stared at the side of the zombie's face and, with a grunt, flew through. A moment later, she came out the other side, which wasn't the thing she had been hoping for. Hovering back to the center of the room, she took a look around and sighe...
2021-11-14 19:36:49 +0000 UTC View PostTirella streaked through the air, the hills far below quickly growing in size and clarity. The massive city of Skulltown sprawled across the basin of a deep valley, the building-line at the back and sides already reaching the foothills. Concentric...
2021-11-13 20:16:30 +0000 UTC View PostSolus hid between the dense white leaves on the far end of a branch, looking at the wasteland that stretched beyond. It had taken them the better part of the day to reach the end of the forest, and he was startled by how fast the forest had grown....
2021-11-12 12:25:21 +0000 UTC View PostTirella shot further up, passing thin clouds blown around by the torrential winds that ruled this high. She stopped and gazed down. Far, far below was a section of wasteland that seemed covered in a black spiderweb.
Odd how those massive...
2021-11-11 20:13:40 +0000 UTC View PostTirella hovered at the top of the cavern, staring down at the dozens of zombies and other undead that stood on walkways and balconies. All along the balconies were yellowed bone doors, behind which were small caves. The undead standing before them...
2021-11-10 20:15:30 +0000 UTC View Post"Keep moving," Solus hissed as he struggled forward across the lowest branch of the tree. The ground was twenty feet below them. His left arm was dangling uselessly from his side, but he had no time to do anything about that. His right hand was cl...
2021-11-09 18:42:38 +0000 UTC View PostSolus woke with a snap, his mind instantly crystal clear. It didn't match the slow, groggy way he knew from sleeping. It was as if his mind was turned off, and then on. A host of sensations demanded his immediate attention, but Laron's voice toppe...
2021-11-08 20:30:58 +0000 UTC View PostSolus looked around the room. It was large, at least a hundred feet across, and forty wide. Except for the far left wall entrance, the walls were solid bone. Dirt, dust, and piles of gunk had gathered in the corners, and below the undead lay...
2021-11-07 20:15:59 +0000 UTC View PostTirella rushed through the city, noting the fiery destruction and black blazes across the walls and streets. Far away, a black smudge covered the side of the wall, and the top portion had a gaping hole in it.
He left a mark before he lef...
2021-11-06 22:22:19 +0000 UTC View PostSolus screamed as he shot up. A wave of agony and pain rushed through his connection with Tirella, and for a moment, it burned a bright red. Then it calmed, pulsing slightly.
Tirella!
He shot towards the thin cable leading bac...
2021-11-05 14:17:18 +0000 UTC View PostGregor groaned as he rubbed his itchy back against the wall of the building. The closed door beside him creaked as it was pushed open, and a thick-boned skeleton walked out.
"No trouble?" Gregor asked as he finally found the itch and vigorou...

"I know!"
"Stop interrupting-"
"Just keep moving, brainless," Sumil shouted while she ran between two six-meter high boulders.
Ahead lay her target, nestled in a deep wedge in the mountain. A Kaot lord that...
2021-11-04 15:15:24 +0000 UTC View PostThe edge of the ice bit deeply in the grey and dusty side of the wasteland. The cracked and dry area was cut short as if some massive entity had scooped out apart and put a lesser amount of ice in its place. A freezing wind howled from the ice aga...
2021-11-04 13:42:12 +0000 UTC View PostWhen they finally reached the edge of the city, Laron had calmed down. He was running up outcrops and jumping down to power his ability. Then when his muscles were pumped, he would jump forward, laughing as he did.
He seems calm enough n...
2021-11-04 13:42:08 +0000 UTC View Post"Get the left one," I shouted as my ax sliced through the legs of the nearest metal dwarf.
"On it," Gresin shouted back as she jumped across two dwarfs crawling on the ground towards a rust-bearded dwarf that stumbled out of a side alley. 2021-10-31 18:47:02 +0000 UTC View Post
Casiron? I mentally called out as soon as I stepped out of the foggy mist of the portal.
Est, you are back! Casiron replied, and I could feel some surprise and relief accompanying his cry.
I couldn't reach you any...
2021-10-31 18:46:26 +0000 UTC View PostWhen I reached the bottom of the stairs, I hadn't noticed any movement in the city besides those flying things. There actually wasn't any movement at all, just a slight breeze that caused some of the mushrooms to sway gently. It felt surreal and o...
2021-10-31 18:45:51 +0000 UTC View PostThe darkness enveloped me as I got up and backpedaled away from where the long tentacle had been.
