"You're afraid, aren't you, child?" The voice morphs into something dark and feminine, but as ellusive and mysterious as before. Its harshness cuts down into your core, cutting deeply at something within you that you can't quite place. "Don't worry, child. There's nothing to fear in the dark...

A large, four-legged creature runs out of the bushes, bolting far away in reaction to your presence. In the darkness of the night, you can see almost nothing, and a stray wind from the South sends shivers down your spine. "You are alone. In the darkness. Tell me, Ma'el-tau'ri, how does that...

You search. You search hard. Much to your surprise, the tracks pick up again not much further, but quite a while later. The sunlight has faded completely, leaving you in near darkness. You hear a rustle in the denser foliage to your left, but no other identifying noise.

You look desperately, but find no nearby tracks. However, you are able to ascertain their direction, South, deeper into the foothills, the massive green mountains looming overhead.

You keep great stride with the figure as you move into the mountains, which were surprisingly more distant to your home than you expected. By the time you reach the foothills, the storm slows to a light rain, the sky darkening. As far as you can remember, this is as far as you have ever been...

The figure says nothing. The rain begins to pick up even further, pounding down on both of you, freezing cold. Roll a constitution saving throw to keep up with the figure.

The figure catches your dagger in its hand before it collides with its torso. "Enough about apologies." She lets go. Her eyes widen with surprise as she looks at her profusely bleeding hand. She quickly takes back her glare, and says "Very well. You're improving. Time to hunt." She begins...

What lies before us, surely, is greatness. Our fates are all spinning infinitely with the entropy of potential, throwing us headfirst into the currents of destruction, loss, triumph, and glory. We stand at the crossroads, beckoning the Fates to propel us into greatness, and provoking them to...

"Yes, Father. It is no problem for me." Ganesh's face is one of assured confidence and cockiness, his most common expression. His eyes are alight, both figuratively, with the glint of adventure, and literally, with a color of slowly burning embers, reflecting lightly on his brown cheeks. "It...

@Mystery_Lotus The incongruent geometries of the gogolplex lock into place. The swirling features of the man melt into a warm feeling. He's watching you but he's hiding it. He's listening but he just smiles and waits. The damperous floor wafts slowly beneath. Damperous damperous hello hello...

"Sorry, Mister Ahab, I didn't go to Sunday school." He doesn't seem to comprehend any of what you've said. "If you'd be willing to come with me we could talk this out back at the fort yon that direction." He gestures to the fort, the clock having already progressed to 5:06. He's silent...

@Venom Adhamm Davro throws down his hood, showing the reflected candlelight on his metallic face. "Well, traveller, you have me at a disadvantage." His voice seems a bit colder and less trusting than before. "Before we get to any interrogations, how about I have a name and a reason why you're...

@EnkoKasumi Please watch this thread. The blinds part between your fingers as you look out into the expanse of the Cloud, quickly glancing around to make sure you weren't being watched. It won't do anything, you know that. In these days, surveillance meant peering through the webcam in your...

@Deathstrike desisa please watch this thread The blinds part between your fingers as you look out into the expanse of the Cloud, quickly glancing around to make sure you weren't being watched. It won't do anything, you know that. In these days, surveillance meant peering through a webcam or a...

You step out into the fading moonlight on the moor, the river's proud flow filling the air. To the West, you see Refuge just beginning to wake at 5:05, lead by the solitary Davro, bearing his candle.

@Venom Adhamm She quietly replies "No, thank you." As you turn to leave, she pulls you close by an arm. "Promise you'll keep my folks safe, Mister Ahab. Please?" Her eyes are red with tears and her voice shaky, her vibrant red hair dripping river water down onto your bed, each quickly dried...

She shakes her head yes.

Marie calms down, but seems unresponsive, and likely will be for a while.

Marie drops to her knees, shaking, her eyes vacantly staring down.

You dash the long distance towards Ouiatenon, moving through burning tents and gun-ho civillians moving into the cloud, among them purple-masked men with guns ready to fight against the oncoming horde. As you reach the door to the fort, you hear mechanical whirring as a massive metal chariot...
