With the seemingly endless narrow corridor behind them, the party of coursers breathed a little easier and the line slowly shuffled together into more of a bunch.   “I mean it. If we end up in just an empty, bare cavern… well, there’d better at least be some really cool rock formations.” Nyx tossed her mane and thoroughly enjoyed doing so after having to keep her head ducked for the last part of the corridor. You never realised how much you took the space above your ear...

Shadows seemed to waver and dance threateningly as Nyx’s wisp lit the confines of this narrow corridor for the adventurers. It had started out wide enough for them to walk two abreast, but the walls had slowly curved in and the ceiling lowered as the corridor went from worked stone to natural. Now the party walked in a line. Nyx was in the lead as the tallest courser. Her head was lowered to avoid brushing the ceiling, and her wisp floated at her shoulder rather than above her head as it us...

“Looks like we picked the wrong door.” Nyx observed pessimistically. The tall corser gazed down into the mist filled abyss below the bridge the group of coursers had come to.   “They joined up after a while anyway.” Vashti pointed out reasonably “So they were both equally wrong.”   “Correct. Never trust two talking stone faces who want you to go through their doors.” Nyx irritably shook her forelock out of her eyes and stepped back from the edge....

Working as a team the four coursers had managed to vanquish the shadow champion of the arena. Once the shadow courser had been defeated the arena had returned to the state they found it in. Empty and silent, heavy with the weight of centuries. Nyx had declared they’d won the right to loot the place and wasted no time letting herself into the areas on the other side of the arena and poking through everything for things she wanted.   Much of the paraphernalia of the arena fight...

The group spread out instinctively as they entered a huge… cavern? No this was never created by nature. Vast, yes, but perfectly round and with tiers of seating rising around it. “It’s an arena.” Vashti breathed, trying not to disturb what felt like an oppressively unnatural silence. Even their footsteps were muffled by the sand under their hooves.   “I wonder what it was like when it was used.” Gordon mused quietly, already composing a tale about bold coursers trai...

This venture into the dungeon hadn’t brought any monsters or traps so far. Instead the terrain itself had been out to get the odd group of coursers who’d decided to stick together for fun and profit, rough footing, steep slopes, unexpected holes in the floor. Everyone was getting annoyed, even Rigel who’d pranced and bounded through most of it with a don’t-give-a-damn attitude any goat would have been proud of.   The group had picked up a few odds and ends as they passe...

The blue bands of Nyx’s spell wrapped around the lean form of Rigel and pulled the blue heraldic courser bodily out of the sarcophagus. Behind Nyx Vashti and Gordon exchanged horrified glances, neither of them could imagine why Rigel had chosen to leap in there.   Dropped unceremoniously in the middle of the clear area of the floor Rigel stood shakily, snorted blood from its nostrils and shook dark liquid off all over the room and its companions.   “Oh, thank...

A tapping of hooves echoed through the empty corridors, a strange and compelling rhythm. “Dammit Gordon, you’d better not be writing a song about this already. Nothing’s even happened yet.” Nyx flicked at the golden coated bard with her tail.   “Music is in my soul Nyx.” Gordon stepped aside adroitly, breaking the pattern of his tapping hooves. The group had been paused for a rest while the going was good, but something was starting to wear on everyone’s nerves, a...

A tale then, of ruffians bold, who came into our camp to loot our gold They found more than treasure there, though these lousy fellows had not a care When we returned from a scouting foray and these louts did become our quarry They faced us down with quite the sneer, brash bravado and a cruel cheer   Weapons were drawn and insults were flung, somebody’s mother compared to bat dung The party of raiders refused to back down, bade us to leap in a sink...

A little battered, a little singed, and reeking of ash and smoke from their first trip into the earthen furnace, Vashti returned to the surface. They always meant to find some place more suited to their nature where they could rest and recover once the delving was done, but somehow it never happened. There were too many unexplored rooms, too many uninvestigated corners, too many places Vashti hadn’t yet poked their nose into. How could they even think about setting up a house when there was...

Vashti had found their way to the earthen furnace at last. The plants that were so abundant on the upper levels had slowly disappeared. No ferns, no moss, and such vines as there were here hung short and unhealthy looking withered by the heat rising up from the earth.   It wasn’t as beautiful as the overgrown caverns above but it was fascinating. Vashti had already spotted several interesting rock formations.   A sound. Vashti’s ears flicked back and forth. B...

Why did the ancient ones build so big when they were small? Vashti puzzled over that as they climbed… something. They weren’t actually certain quite what, but they thought they’d be able to see from the top, usually when the bipedal beings of old built something tall it was to see for a long way, or so Vashti had observed, towers and the like, so this, which seemed to have the steps much more conveniently located on the outside, was probably something similar.   “LITTLE...

“Little one. You know our dam said not to go underground.” Vashti looked back over their shoulder and blew out a large sigh, both their siblings were approaching at the trot, anxious looks on their faces. They were always more worried about listening and not getting in trouble than fun and excitement. They were always trying to catch Vashti at something too.   “Why don’t you two go and find some of your important, grown up courser things to and leave me alone?” They s...

Vashti could swear they’d been this way before, they recalled that boulder pile that looked like the wizard’s hand for sure. They’d been trying to find the entrance to the lower caverns and the earthen furnace they’d heard other coursers talk of but they hadn’t come across it yet. Of course their habit of always choosing the least travelled looking path might have been what was getting in their way, but that hadn’t occurred to Vashti.   Here and there they paused to...

Vashti looked around this new cavern. It seemed to be a dead end, but the mushrooms here glowed with an otherworldly light, changing the scene to one of grainy blues and greens where the light Vashti carried didn’t outshine the fungi at least.   Enchanted, Vashti moved forward and tapped one with a hoof, cautious, ready to jump back if anything untoward happened, and jump back they did, shaking their head and snorting violently before they realized the sound that had alarmed ...

After a short rest in the cave they thought was a tomb Vashti slipped through the vines again and left the cavern they’d explored previously. The wind ruffled their mane and tail, promising to lead them outside, but Vashti refused to listen, turning away from the way they’d come. There was no fun in exploring where you’d already been!   The breeze came in from another tunnel, a little narrower than the one Vashti had entered by, but wide enough for all but the bulkiest of...

Vashti trotted smartly along the trails worn by other explorers, creeping moss muffling the sound of their hooves. These places were interesting, sure, creatures and plants were always shifting things around, uncovering something new, hiding something old until it was new again, Vashti apricated this, but they wanted to see something they’d never seen before, so they veered off onto a less worn track as soon as there was a chance. The moss grew fast, so dozens, maybe hundreds of coursers co...
