− | + | The wizard walked barefoot along the sandy lake bottom, schools of | |
+ | axolotls swimming around his toes. Through the murky water, the | ||
+ | wizard could see the remains of a wrecked ship. The salamanders | ||
+ | guided him through a hole in the wooden hull. In the darkness the | ||
+ | wizard noticed the faintest light. It was coming from a chest half | ||
+ | buried in the sand. | ||
− | + | Before the wizard could open the treasure chest a shock wave shot | |
+ | through the water, knocking the wizard flat on his back. The ship | ||
+ | tore in half revealing a huge monster covered in waving aquatic | ||
+ | plants. It was the titan of the lake. The axolotls scattered in all | ||
+ | directions. The wizard scuttled backward. He could not speak, making | ||
+ | his charms useless. It was to be a battle of flesh and steel. | ||
− | + | ===(24 December 2014)=== | |
+ | <pre>|oW++|#######N#N#N#NN#NN#NN</pre> | ||
− | + | Many of you remember the tale of the lake. Your dwarf mothers and | |
+ | fathers warned you not to go near, lest the giant axolotl eat you. | ||
+ | Now that the wizard had tempted fate by entering the lake titan's | ||
+ | domain, all were in danger. The wizard was clever, transforming | ||
+ | himself into a fish and gobbling up the magic pearl, then swimming | ||
+ | away before the giant salamander could find him. When he emerged from | ||
+ | the waters, he changed his shape into that of a pelican and flew away. | ||
+ | The titan was furious and took out its frustrations on people who | ||
+ | lived near the shore. | ||
− | + | “Forgive us, mighty Hetain,” screamed the villagers. | |
− | It | + | It was too late and they knew it. The poor people hardly protested as |
+ | Hetain transformed them into horrible, bloodthirsty monsters and sent | ||
+ | then on their way to find the thieving wizard. They stretched their | ||
+ | new wings and launched into the night's sky. There wasn't much time | ||
+ | before dawn, and the newly reborn night creatures could not travel | ||
+ | during daylight. | ||
− | + | “Father,” asked one of the night creatures, “do you think that mighty | |
+ | Hetain will allow us to die after we return the pearl?” | ||
− | + | “Our lives,” said the older night creature, “have always been those of | |
− | + | service and toil. Before Hetain, we served the dwarven king. All we | |
+ | can do is serve our betters faithfully. Then, perhaps, we shall | ||
+ | receive our just reward.” | ||
− | + | Arriving at his tower, the wizard threw off his bird shape and reached | |
+ | into his mouth, withdrawing the magic pearl. The old man had spent | ||
+ | most of his life searching for enchanted artifacts such as this. It | ||
+ | was a goal of his since youth to be the greatest wizard the world had | ||
+ | ever known. For this end, he had to take chances. Stealing the pearl | ||
+ | was no small thing. In belonged to one of the Four Titans who had | ||
+ | existed since the world was young. He knew the pearl was cursed, but | ||
+ | it had to be his all the same. | ||
− | + | ===(7 May 2015)=== | |

− | + | “Die in the name of Hetain!” howled the ape-like creature as it leaped through the window of the wizard's tower. | |
− | + | Speaking a charm just in time to confuse his attacker, the wizard ran to his sword which he kept leaning against the wall of his laboratory. With a slice and a thrust, the monsters was undone, laying in pieces on the floor. This was certainly a first, attacked by a night creature while relaxing at home. The titan, Hetain, meant business. | |
− | + | Dressing himself in his magic robe, the wizard stepped out of the tower window. He let himself fall for a few seconds, letting the refreshing breeze blow through his long gray hair. Then he transformed into a red tailed hawk. His idea was to travel to the capital of Assura and hire a hero or two to slay the titan. Just getting to the city would prove a task difficult enough to call on his considerable skills. | |
− | + | ===(13 June 2015)=== | |
+ | <pre>""",.Gm,."",</pre> | ||
− | It was the | + | It was impossible, even for a hawk, to reach the capital before nightfall. It was suicide to stay in the air after sundown. The titan, Hetain, controlled an armada of flying night creatures. Instead, the wizard dove into the trees and landed in the jungle. There he took the shape of a mighty gorilla. The night creatures would be foolish to mess with him now. |
− | + | “Hey, gorilla,” said a voice in the evening wind. “I know what you are carrying.” | |
− | + | “Show yourself,” growled the wizard. | |
− | + | A tiny rodent scurried out of the brush and onto a patch of moss next to one of the wizard's impressive forearms. Closer inspection revealed that it was actually a mouse man, servant of one of the other three titans. The wizard told the mouse man to speak his piece quickly, for any minute they would be mobbed by vengeful night creatures. | |
− | + | “I serve almighty Domon and his chariot in the sky,” said the mouse man. “Lend me the pearl and I will ensure your victory.” | |
− | + | ===(22 July 2015)=== | |
+ | <pre>""."",.G->g.,.,~~~~~</pre> | ||
− | + | So, Domon sought the pearl as well. The wizard should not have been surprised that the word of his conquest had spread so quickly. Now the wizard must be doubly careful. While Hetain controlled the night, Domon ruled everything under the sun and the eternal vault of sky. | |
− | + | The giant gorilla shifted his weight unto his knuckles and howled at the mouse man. It was clear that the wizard had made his decision. He would trust no titan. The mouse man ran for his life. This move would not go unanswered, for Domon was a vengeful titan. | |
− | The | + | The wizard couldn't stay in the jungle forever, hiding from the angry rays of the sun. He moved to the edge of the final treeline and looked out over the rolling plains of Slusia. Assura was there, just beyond the horizon. Stopping to think for a moment, the giant gorilla scratched its forehead. At last the wizard decided on a shape, transforming himself into a speedy gazelle. |
− | + | ===(20 August 2015)=== | |
+ | <pre>ccc.,\W,|@</pre> | ||
− | + | Not one. Not two. But, three cheetahs took off running after the wizard as he bounded across the plain. The titan, Domon, meant business. As Hetain controlled the night, Domon ruled the day. None of it would matter if he reached the dwarf fortress of Assura. Jumping just in time to avoid a pouncing wild cat, the wizard narrowly avoided death. He ducked and rolled and transformed once again into human shape, wielding a longsword. The cheetahs stopped where they were as the wizard had reached the gates of Assura. | |
− | + | “Open the gates, I say,” boomed the wizard. | |
− | + | “Who gives a command to free dwarves?” answered the guards-dwarf. | |
− | + | “It is I,” said the wizard, “Suffar the Mighty.” | |
− | + | Even the dwarves of Assura had heard tales of the great Suffar. Not all good, it must be said. Suffar was a rogue and a trickster. The dwarves watched as the cheetahs circled the wizard, waiting for the moment to strike. Maybe they wouldn't have to open the gates after all. | |
− | |||
− | + | ===(23 September 2015)=== | |
+ | <pre>Wo+++@|</pre> | ||
− | + | Holding up the magic pearl, Suffar demanded to be let in a third time. The greed of the dwarves was not easy to measure. It seemed they would do anything to acquire the smallest treasure. Suffar stepped through the gates with a final sneer at his pursuers. As the gates shut, the cheetahs disappeared in puffs of smoke. | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | “Is that Hetain's magic pearl?” demanded the noble dwarf. | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | “One and the same,” said Suffar, dropping the pearl back into his pocket. | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||

− | + | “The titans would offer a king's ransom for that treasure,” said the dwarf. | |
− | |||
− | + | “And I will offer twice that amount to the hero that slays Hetain,” countered Suffar. | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | It was much to consider, coming between titans and wizards. It meant almost certain death to the dwarves involved. This mattered little to the hero class, a group of dwarves raised since birth to laugh at danger. It was at the Temple of Bravery that Suffar met Kogan, the mightiest of the dwarves. | |
+ | |||
+ | “Will you kill Hetain for me?” asked Suffar. | ||
+ | |||
+ | “I have been waiting for a challenge worthy of my blade,” said Kogan. | ||
− | + | ===(24 October 2015)=== | |
− | + | <pre>###NB######|W+@|##</pre> | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | The two never actually agreed on a price. Kogan instead offered to go with Suffar if he led him to glory and death. The wizard agreed, knowing it was not a quest for a hero who still possessed reason. There would be no coming back from the titan's lake. All Suffar could do was help his new friend along his final journey. | |
− | |||
− | + | “Is it far?” asked Kogan. “These legs weren't made for walking.” | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | “Fear not, little one,” said Suffar, “I will summon the appropriate steeds.” | |
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | |||
− | + | Standing on the tallest tower of the castle, Suffar spoke to the wind, whilst Kogan watched with interest. After a time, the wizard pointed to the horizon. To specks appeared which grew steadily larger. They were a pair of giant birds. One was an enormous female nuthatch, while the other was a bushtit, the size of a bull. The dwarf stood back, wielding his axe. | |
− | |||
− | + | “Fear not,” said Suffar. “These creatures will take us to the hated lake of Hetain.” | |
− | + | “Fear is not in my vocabulary,” said Kogan. “I will do anything to speed the march of doom and final destiny.” | |
− | + | ===(30 November 2015)=== | |
+ | <pre>,.@*W,. ?D?</pre> | ||
− | + | It was more than a day's journey back to the titan's lake and the giant birds would be no good against the creatures Hetain had prepared for them. Kogan watched the terrain unfolding beneath him with wonder. The world seemed so much smaller than it had been. The birds flew quickly, knowing that at any moment, Domon might spy them from his chariot in the sky. | |
− | |||
− | + | “Dive for those trees, Kogan,” said Suffar. “I fear that Domon has found us.” | |
− | + | The dwarf kicked the sides of his giant bushtit and the bird dove for the forest canopy. Kogan looked behind him to see a bright green dragon pursuing him. Suffar was nowhere to be found. Jumping off his steed before the jet of flames hit him, Kogan grabbed at tree branches as he fell through the air. | |
− | + | “Wake up, brave dwarf,” said the wizard. | |
− | + | Opening his eyes, Kogan found that he had indeed survived. Suffar had built a fire in a small clearing beneath the stars. Here they waited for Hetain's creatures to attack. | |
− | + | ===(18 December 2015)=== | |
+ | <pre>,A.,\@*W</pre> | ||
− | + | The first night creature to attack was an ape-like creature with a single eye in the center of its forehead. Kogan was ready, battleaxe in hand. The creature huffed and puffed. Its issue was not with the dwarf, but with the scheming wizard, but Kogan would not allow the creature to advance. Finally, the creature sat back on its haunches and held its arms in a pose of tranquility. | |
− | |||
− | + | “Shall you let us pass?” asked Suffar. | |
− | + | “You have my master's property,” said the ape. “You must die for your crimes.” | |
− | + | “What if we returned the treasure in person?” asked the wizard. “I'm sure my friend here would love to meet the great and mighty Hetain.” | |
− | + | The ape struck like a snake, but Kogan was faster. The night creature hit the ground, bleeding from a savage and mortal wound. The adventurers watched with wonder as the creature's body transformed into the body of a dead dwarf. | |
− | |||
− | + | “What have I done?” asked Kogan. | |
− | + | ===(22 January 2016)=== | |
+ | <pre>W@.T"T"~~~~~~~~~</pre> | ||
− | + | “It is because of Hetain that this poor dwarf suffered,” said Suffar. “You have only done him a mercy.” | |
− | + | “You said nothing of killing my own kind,” protested Kogan. | |
− | + | “It will get worse before the end,” said the wizard. “You must be strong. Don't let Hetain's evil confuse your heart and mind.” | |
+ | That night they buried the dead dwarf and Kogan prayed for his soul. Strangely, no more creatures attacked. It was as if Hetain knew he now had the upper hand and would toy with the adventurers. Suffar wondered if he had made a mistake enlisting the help of a dwarven hero. Maybe a true mercenary was called for. | ||
− | + | “Hetain will pay for what he has done,” said Kogan. “You can rest assured of that.” | |
− | |||
− | + | The lake was just on the other side of a screen of trees. Kogan had the look of grim determination but Suffar wasn't entirely sure he trusted him. Taking on the titan was an act for the insane brave. While Kogan was clearly not stable, Suffar still didn't know which way his blade would cut. | |
− | + | ===(28 February 2016)=== | |
+ | <pre>W..@.,.,NNNNN~~~~A~~~~~</pre> | ||
− | + | “Who are they?” asked Kogan. | |
− | + | “They are the dwarves of the once powerful fortress of Etwersbrot,” said Suffar. “They worship Hetain now.” | |
− | + | A horde of misshapen monsters ringed the lake, holding hands. Some them had three arms. Some had two heads. They were all monstrous and terrifying. Kogan knew that they were once dwarves. He wished with all his might that he could forget that knowledge and slay them cleanly. Now every dead monster was simply murder. | |
− | + | The chanting of the monsters intensified with the rising of the moon. There was a bubbling vortex at the center of the lake. Soon the giant axolotl appeared, rising magically above the water. The monsters prostrated themselves before the titan. It was Kogan's chance. Suffar tapped him on the shoulder and he rose, stepping out into the moonlight. | |
− | + | “Hetain,” shouted Kogan, “why are you trying to control my people?” | |
− | + | ===(26 March 2016)=== | |
+ | <pre>W,.NNNN,.@/(((((A)))))</pre> | ||
− | + | “The pearl belongs to me,” said the giant salamander. “The villain you work for is no more than a thief. I stand on the side of the righteous.” | |
− | |||
− | + | “It is righteous to turn my kin into monsters?” shouted Kogan. “I have shed the blood of my blood because of you. Are you listening, oh dwarves of Etwersbrot? Serve not this coward and let him fight his own battles!” | |
− | + | The monsters stopped their chanting and stepped aside as Kogan approached the water's edge. Hetain looked nervous. His slaves had never rebelled before. The dwarf stood before the titan, holding his battle axe at the ready. Hetain called on the power of the outer darkness, creating a vortex in the water below him. Suffar saw the danger and began chanting to counter the spell. The little dwarf was in more danger than he knew. Hetain was opening a portal to a dimension of ultimate evil. | |

− | + | Inside or outside, the dwarf fortress was an ugly place. Black smoke | |
+ | rose from its misshapen stacks, and beneath the menacing gatehouse, | ||
+ | poor hill-dwarves moved under armed guard to bring their offerings to | ||
+ | Count Agak. | ||
− | + | The Count had long been allergic to light. His case of cave | |
+ | adaptation was more pronounced than any ever known. His skin was pale | ||
+ | and shot through with spidery veins. His eyes were red and bloodshot. | ||
+ | Even in the dark, he looked sickly, and he never touched a morsel on | ||
+ | the feast days. | ||

− | + | "By the power of the Lordaxe!" screamed Durgal, holding his axe aloft. | |

− | + | “To the right!” shouted Kogan. | |
− | + | Ducking just in time, Cendra twirled around and planted her axe dead | |

− | + | <pre>U,.(&),,.,.(&),.U</pre> | |
+ | It had been a century since the last Dulchari wizard had been crowned. Most of the old wizards had retired to remote towers to continue their studies, having abandoned the city of Etwersbrot and the council chamber. There simply was no need for them anymore. All the dimensional rifts had been sealed and reality had been restored to a liveable state. | ||
− | + | The wizards that lived in the capital were a new breed. The only demons they had ever seen were the ones that the Dulchari summoned themselves. Thamian was one of these. He longed to cross the boundaries between worlds like the old heroes did. Once the world had been filled with monsters. Now it was impossible to prove oneself. | |
− | + | "I have an idea," said Thamian. "Meet me behind the tower after class." | |
− | + | The sun was sinking behind the mountains when Thamian met his friend Nesco in the dry field. What he had planned was a contest of magic. They would each summon a demon and they would fight to see which one was more fierce. Standing across the field from one another they drew pentagrams in the dirt. Thamian began summoning a creature from the world of Brepotog, the Bowels of the Universe. Nesco called his demon from Urmoro, the Land of the Undead. Somehow neither of them grasped that this was a bad idea. | |

The young adventurer stepped up to the statue, torch in hand. After a quick inspection he grasped the stone minotaur's horn. He gave it a sharp yank and just as Albert foretold, the rock hand opened dropping the Sword of Fire into the adventurer's waiting hands. The stones in the ceiling above began to rumble, as if the temple itself was being rocked from its foundations. Throwing his cloak over his head, the young man made his way to the entrance, dodging the falling stones. | The young adventurer stepped up to the statue, torch in hand.
