Vintr is Coming | Corruption of Lani
Audak added another log on the fire, hoping to keep the warmth going through the night. Several ten-days had passed since the fall of the Great Tower of Lighting and the last of the days of Haust were upon them, along with the warning of Vintr’s cold. The barbarian looked…

Check and Mate | Corruption of Lani
Ilandriel slid to the side, narrowly avoiding another clawed attack by her opponent. It had been a few millennia since she’d been in a fight, but she wasn’t about to crumple down at the first sign of blood. All these years, locked away here in the dark, alone. Hoping all…

The Machine | Corruption of Lani
The tunnel around them was unlit, but Brylla could feel the surface beneath her boots was sleek and smooth like the steel of a blade. As far as she could see ahead of her there was nothing but darkness and this smooth tunnel. Whispering a few words, the cleric caused…

The Final Barrier | Corruption of Lani
Standing at the footsteps to the great Tower of Lighting, a rage filled the fairy. In the last 24 hours she had been shot at, clawed by a small dragon, had her voice taken from her, been beaten into unconsciousness, tied up, gagged, held prisoner, fallen off of a rooftop…

Making a Deal | Corruption of Lani
Tanthalas stared down the crossbow aimed at his chest, sizing up the crew around him. He expected that he could probably take one down quickly enough, a second was going to be a question mark, but with Al’s help they might get three before anybody got hurt. But four of…

The Fairy’s Ruin | Corruption of Lani
The dark-skinned gnome eyed Tanthalas up and down, the pipe in his mouth stuck between gritted teeth. A small trail of smoke escaped from the rogue’s lips as he considered what to do about the elf. Tanthalas released his grip on the now-unconscious orc, standing up, sword still in hand…

Drokh’s final stand | Corruption of Lani
Tanthalas never even hesitated as he saw the drummer make a beeline for the rear exit. The door out into the alleys was open, but the elf was certain he could keep the large orc contained. Sending Blitz to block the way out, Tanthalas chased after from behind, determined to…

The Opening Act | Corruption of Lani
A small bit of smoke escaped from his lips, curling up into the air before being whisked away by the mid-afternoon breeze. The gnome had a lot on his mind and the pipe helped him think. He dipped his head around the edge of the chimney to make sure he…

The Great City of Pua | Corruption of Lani
As the others searched the underground lair, the Audak-wererat was having a crisis of self. The barbarian stared at the strange furry claws he now had, trying to figure out how to get back to his old self. Every now and then he felt some sort of animalistic will rising…

The Betrayer Revealed | Corruption of Lani
Balderston was the perfect place for a con, considered the trickster as he walked through the side streets of the city, away from the main festival square. Like the minotaur, Al had separated himself from the main group in order to see what was happening away from the main attractions.…
-
The Festival | Corruption of Lani
As the crowds streamed in and out of Balderston’s Heroes Fest, the group decided to spread out and get a handle on the town. Bleg’s enormous minotaur frame seemed to create room around him in the crowd, allowing him to move smoothly through the streets. The other Bear tribe barbarians…

The Hideout | Corruption of Lani
When the world assembled itself around them again, they were no longer on that strange flying ship. They were in some small room, full of odds and ends. Most importantly, however, was that they seemed to be themselves again! Tanthalas took in his surroundings, noticing bedrolls and blankets in a…

Unfamiliar skies | Corruption of Lani
The strange, gray-skinned creature lying on the ground had been Kayono only a few moments ago. Bleg tapped it with the butt end of his axe to make sure it wasn’t conscious. Al took a step forward to examine the body, looking it over closely. The clothing was non-magical, authentic…

A broken heart | Corruption of Lani
She stood proudly, her axe held high above her head as she gave the cry that sent them charging. It was a large open field between them and their target, but the rage inside her chest filled her with a fuel that made it seem like nothing. After marching through…

Coming Home | Corruption of Lani
The smell of burnt wood filled the afternoon air all around them. After the long night, it wasn’t hard for most to sleep through the day, even with the sound of cleanup work happening all around them. It was Tanthalas who was awake first, his pack shaking and rocking, back…

And the people bowed and prayed | Corruption of Lani
The glowing red light coming out from under the door was made all the more menacing by the sound of the multiple voices chanting in some strange language. Echo steeled herself for what was about to come as Thegman placed himself in front of the doorway. Already they had found…
-
Beneath the ruins | The Corruption of Lani
The group moved on in silence after finding Echo’s friend lying in the hall. It was clear that Ikan had given his life to save the little halfling that now accompanied them. Echo was quiet and following the others, but slowly growing more tense. You could sense the tension in…

A village in flames | The Corruption of Lani
The mist-like rain continued to fall upon the lantern-lit roadway. The encounter with the mob on the road had been brief and now the weather-soaked heroes looked around at the unconscious figures lying at their feet. What could have caused this rabble to attack like that? Clearly something unnatural was…
-
A Sign of Darkness | The Corruption of Lani
High in the air, the dark outline of the drake was fading out of sight and most of the townsfolk had returned to their day. Gathering up their things, and the engineer’s remains, the group travelled with Krynth back to Valor’s Rest to regroup with Thegman. The dwarf had not…

A boy and his drake | The Corruption of Lani
The enormous corpse of the spider blocked their path forward and it took both dwarves to push it aside to free access to the gateway. Thegman gagged, and then quickly held his breath, as his arm pushed too hard in the wrong place and wound up shoulder-deep inside the thorax…

Into the Spider’s Den | The Corruption of Lani
Lying in the darkness of the path ahead of them was a shape. From this distance, the torch light could not reach it well, making it hard to make out details. It was small, a humanoid of some kind, but not much more could be determined in the shades of…

Beginnings | The Corruption of Lani
One by one, the guards brought the arrivals to the great council hall. The building was old, far older than would have been expected based on the rather modern city outside the windows. The port city of Denn was a popular trading hub in the north west, right on the…
