They made camp later that night and trudged along the next day. Riven tried calling Allie twice, but each time he she’d quickly tell him she was busy and hang up shortly after confirming she was still ok. It was like she was avoiding him, and he was getting the feeling that she’d figured out her videos had leaked on the cortex for him to see. &...

Dawn’s light had brought with it a flood of the undead, pouring over entrenched defenders like a tidal wave of death, bathing the northern city of Brightsville in blood when the two major factions present there clashed in the biggest battle yet.
And it had been short lived.
Allie glared down at Prophet’s second-in-command, an old wiry military ...

He left the others to their chatting and came up to the thick, solid wood with a few knocks on the door using his knuckles. He heard a muffled voice from inside telling him to come in, and opened the door to quickly shut it behind him.

Elder Bren let out a deep sigh and one of his wives scurried over to the door, letting in a fuming Elder Preen. The old man was obviously disheveled from some kind of physical confrontation, with dirtied robes and a bleeding scratch along his right cheek. He stomped inside but quickly stopped upon seeing Riven sitting on the couch, flushing in ange...

Elder Bren’s treehouse was the largest in the village, being formed from what Ethel described as ‘tree shaping’ to create rooms, balconies and multiple floors all the way from the base of the trunk to about thirty feet up. The leaves, bark and roots were all still intact and the tree was actually still very much alive, unlike many of the smoking hu...

Despite the minor uproar that’d occurred because of the system-wide announcement, the elves went back to singing solemn hymns somewhere outside the cabin he was staying shortly afterwards. This was a to think about, and Riven sat there dwelling on it for a good amount of time before deciding to speak on this with Allie in detail later on. No doub...

“You let him leave intentionally? To buy yourself time?” Mara asked, confusion written all over her face with her hands behind her back. She stood beside Allie on a rooftop under the starlight, watching their army of undead - minions and sentient creatures alike - march northwards through the darkened streets.
Allie solemnly nodded, red e...

Fay tried to intercept with a hissing lunge of her own, but she was in no way a melee fighter and was easily slammed aside with a shoulder charge that left her gasping. The rogue vanished and reappeared two feet in front of her original position the same way the other rogues earlier that fight had sidestepped one of his snares.

Azmoth’s bellowing roar and the gleeful screeches of Athela intertwined with one another as sounds of battle climbed higher, and Riven teleported through a black rift in space as an axe from another charging enemy rounding the corner sliced across his robe and nicked his shin.

The predator inside screamed with excitement alongside gluttony’s core, but he kept his sanity and mentally tugged at Fay’s contract. The succubus landed beside him within seconds, eagerly standing with clasped hands in front of her.

Riven’s recovery was a little longer than any of them had expected. He slept far into the mid afternoon of the next day, and the others let him do it without interruption.

Senna tried to get up on her injured leg and tripped backwards, hobbling towards the tree line to get away from the monster that’d made its presence known to the pale-faced and jittery party members not far off.

When he woke up, he was filled in by Dr. Brass on what had happened with the other humans during the fight while Senna snored softly as she curled up next to Ethel under a blanket.

On one hand, Jarmosh seemed a little less trustworthy given that he’d put loopholes in his contract. Athela had outright told him he couldn’t accept the contract in the way the beholder had worded it, so he’d have to get Jarmosh to agree to rewrite it the way Riven wanted it done or he’d have to decline no matter what. He also didn’t like ...

The wyrm continued to stare blankly back at him, its imposing figure raising its neck and rearing back like a cobra.

Captain Vros Kinal stood on a large hovering platform that loomed above his marching legions. Their heavy armor gleamed in the bright rays of sunshine illuminating their glorious planet.

He turned the corner just when Athela was thrown across the room - face planting against the wall but recovering quickly to turn on the giant, grotesque clown.

Riven stormed through the sewers to where the rungs leading up the tunnel were within reach. Grabbing onto them: Athela followed closely behind.

The storm had died down to a low drizzle, but was still flashing lightning overhead when Riven stepped foot outside.

Riven couldn’t help but be impressed with what Allie had built here.
Hundreds of sentient undead walked, talked, bartered, built and laughed with one another as Allie and Mara took him on a grand tour of the tower. The skyscraper’s walls had been knocked down in some areas, terraformed in others, and in some places had been kept up. A mix ...

Allie’s eyes went wide when the demoness lunged for her and quickly erupted with power, encompassing the area around her and demolishing the rooftop she stood on to blast the creature backwards.

The rat man’s voice was definitely a little on the rough side of raspy, and it was only moderately deep. Not nearly as deep as was expected. It also sounded like he’d been hacking furballs all day. “Why do you come-walk here in upper-top of the dark-black of the tunnel-ground?”

The tunnel echoed as yet another one of the larger creatures had made itself known.

A lithe, snake-like figure measuring at the very least a couple dozen feet tore up through the trash and scummy water at insane speed – roaring an earth-trembling screech.
