The next day.
A light breeze whispered through the leaves, carrying the clarion call of a falcon on the hunt. Dappled sunlight filtered through the canopy above, casting a kaleidoscope of light and shadow on the path ahead. The air was fragrant with the scent of pine as birds flitted through the trees, silent in th...

The soft, trodden soil still bore the marks left behind by the conscripted Yeomen; all of whom, except him, were most likely now dead.
For a moment, Clyde stood at the crossroads, contemplating the two choices that lay ...

The Bonehounds were relentless, their snarls echoing through the caverns like the laughter of death itself.

Startled out of her shock-induced stupor, Nai subconsciously bolted for the exit just behind Sir Justin. As they fled, the monster behind them unleashed a great howl. The beastial cry still echoing through the dungeon was suddenly followed by reverberating tremors that raced through the earthen wall, ceiling and floor. The sound of numerous footsteps converging be...

The knights who were about to charge back in halted momentarily as they considered her words. The next moment they both gave faint nods before racing towards the alpha bonehound.

In regards to dungeon breaches, there have been many speculations about their creation even amongst the common folk. While most might never see a dungeon even once in their entire lifetime, it was still a very common topic to converse about in taverns and for parents to scare mischievous children at night. 2023-12-14 16:55:07 +0000 UTC View Post
The next morning…
Clyde stood in a queue with his fellow Yeomen as equipment and supplies were dispensed by a squire in front. He did not partake in his usual workout routine today.
Doing so would have been stupid as Sir Justin had warned the entire platoon of the long march that lay ahead of them today. The knight had also clearly instructed them to stay properl...
