Misshapen bodies surge forward and engage the forward warriors. Ash, Elias, Annalise and anyone else keeping the army of flesh at bay have their work cut out for them. These abominations are fast and vicious, but not smart in the least. And they cut down easy. Yet, for each that falls, they...

Amelie and Anna: After killing the young ex-monk, you both move to head downstairs. But something changes. The pressure—something both pressing and stabbing your thoughts, probing for a way in—even for your supernatural minds grows nearly unbearable. Whatever it is here in this city, it has...

Amelie and Anna: Tears well in then girl’s eyes. She had escaped the monastery, eschewing a life of servitude. “Slavery,” she had called it as she looked for her freedom. But the monks had it right after all. It is easier to see with monsters tearing her flesh and demons standing over her...

Amelie and Anna: The girl goes down hard, her sword still in its scabbard. They had been too fast. The first lunatic had landed on her chest. The second had missed and rolled across the floor. Using her wrist, the girl pushes with all her might against the neck of a man driven insane, holding...

Amelie and Anna, the young woman puts her hands up and stands, keeping her movements slow and steady. “Woah,” she says. “Let’s not get hasty.” She pulls her hair back revealing the tattoo on her face and head more. It runs “These tattoos. From the monastery. They were meant to lock my brain up...

Amelie and Anna, off the side of the Chapel you find stairs that descend into darkness. You both can hear the sounds below; clawing, snarling, snapping. It sounds like a pack of wild wolves circling caged prey. “I wouldn’t go down there, if I were you,” a voice says behind you. A tattooed young...

Amelie and Annalisa, the monstrous priest thrashes, unable to gain footing with its broken leg. It snarls and snaps at your like a rabid dog. You can see the blood in its eyes. Patches of its hair are missing from where it pulled while changing from human to this. In its mind, as you delve for...

Amelie and Annalisa, you both step into the Church. What you find would bring any mortal to their knees. Thankfully, neither of you are mortal. You step into the narthex and find the walls and floor spattered with blood. Bodies of men and women lie lifeless on the old tile. Their blood has...

Amelie and Annalisa, deep in the city you’ve seen the carnage. The two of you now have full attention on the environment. Charred bodies line the streets and destroyed buildings. The smell of burnt flesh and boiled blood is stifling. The last smoldering embers crackle in the silence of the city...

Outside Glewick Calliope and Shae, the bloodied girl, not older than twelve, stops past the tree. For a long moment, she stands completely still. The back of her head faces you making understanding what she is thinking or doing difficult. She turns and looks up at the voice in the tree calling...

Outside Glewick Night has arrived. Her skirt blankets the fields and roofs and trees. The black smoke from the city is no longer visible against the purple sky and dark clouds. The smell of burnt wood, stone, and flesh permeates the air. Shae and Calliope, from your perch in the tree, you both...

“Shut the hell up, powder witch!” Raes says pointing at you, Iiolete. He’s standing. One fist is clenched at his side. There are flashes of anger in his eyes. “Father,” says Gillie, putting a hand on his shoulder. “No,” he says, pushing his daughter’s hand off. “She’s why we were attacked...

Raes had stayed seated when the riders had approached. He ignored his daughter, who stood with her fists clenched and her jaw set. But when a new figure appeared and lit some dazzling spell at the top of the hill he stood. “More coming this way,” he says, pointing to the elf. “Don’t let you...

“I’ve heard stories,” Gillie says watching Finch, “of Priests and Mages in the city that can make the body whole.” Raes spits into the fire. “Bah,” he says with a wave. “Blood Mages, most like. I’d sooner say avoid them. ‘Sides,” he looks over his should at the smoldering city on the horizon...

Having collected the bodies of Nemeia and Alysha, the group presses on. You collect together with Raes and Gillie's wagon at the bottom of the hill. Next to the road, embers smolder in a shallow pit. This was the fire burning in the distance. Next to it is a log for sitting. But, the campsite is...

Jakev took one more sweep mentally noting cardinal directions in his helmet’s HUD. He considered a moment, the map of the area hanging in his mind. “A rabble of farmers,” he said, “four months of fighting, and now you. Seems like fishing with a thermite grenade, Ma’am.” He stood keeping his...

"Yah!” cries Raes snapping the reins and heeding Tanner's advice. His wagon lurches forward and down the hill toward the fire in the distance. Inside, Gillie winds her father’s crossbow, knocks a bolt, and hands it up to him. She lights two lanterns and hangs them on the front of the wagon...

The shuttle door opens revealing the scorched pavement outside. The engines are deafening with the shuttle maintaining a hover a few feet off the ground. Military protocol calls this a combat drop. Jakev has always called it Sitting Duck. The idea is to come in low, drop the payload—in this case...

Forgot:

Elias, Tanner, and Finch, the old woman's singing has stopped, but her small cookfire still gutters in the distance. Through the fog, and against the black forest, it seems inviting and warm despite its size. It promises some small measure of safety like a distant end to an inky tunnel. You all...
