"Painted in reddish brown into the furnace floor is a massive circle with lines drawn inside it at three points. Each point shows symbol you don't recognize - except for one. The crude silhouette of a Courser's head in the circle's center. The whole area smells of sulfur and copper, and though you've never been here, it is the scent that strikes you as oddly familiar. What do you make of this?" ✦ Archimedes stopped abruptly, his hooves scraping against the stone fl...

They continued on in the circle, stopping to look at some bones and what seemed like the remains of a camp. "I wonder how long ago the war here was," Ian murmured, "It must have been quite some time ago because the bones are very clean." "On the bright side it means that the moor has not claimed any more victims lately," Raphael commented sagely. ...

Goud and Ian were ranging ahead of Raphael who as to the back with hounds. they were heading in a circle around the building, exploring the moor. It was cold and dreary and it was hard to see more than a few feet in front of you because of the heavy mist. Even Goud and Ian were disappearing from his view every now and then. This is really is very spooky place, Raphael thought, add to that there are literal ghost ranging around and I don't even know what I want to say about...

We both stared down at the broken drum that lay on the ground in front of us. The frame was rusted over, and the skin was torn and flapping in the gentle breeze, but it has obviously been made with great care, once upon a time. "Do you play?" Asked Goud, still gazing at the drum.I chuckled. "I actually do." Goud smiled at me. "Learned as a kid, or..?" "Nope," I replied, shaking my head. "A few seasons ago I heard about this creature that can be found down at the coast,...

Where Vraegar is the strong, protective leader, always dashing in head first, Fynrael is the softer, obverservant type. A balancing force. Fynrael's voice drifts gently, yet firm, speaking for caution, retreat or slowness when needed and at other times curiosity and learning. Like a soft, sweet breeze, Fynrael is the graceful patient one, always willing to listen and give everyone their chance to be heard. “Vraegar, now is the time for rest. Please sit down and take a moment,” Fynr...

"Salamanders are valuable to sell as alchemical components, but they are also overhunted and becoming scarce. You find one that has strayed too far from the magma, its skin beginning to cool and harden. It would be easy to capture it like this. What do you do?" ✦ Archimedes stopped mid-step, his sharp eyes narrowing as he spotted the small, trembling form near the edge of the magma flow. A salamander. Its normally vibrant, molten skin was...

"The floor is lava. Quite literally. Magma has begun to pool under your hooves. How do you escape?" ✦ The heat was unbearable. Archimedes halted mid-step, his sharp gaze snapping downward. The ground beneath his hooves glowed a dull, angry red—magma, bubbling to the surface like a slow, molten tide. A thin crack split the stone nearby with a hiss, and suddenly, pop!—a burst of heat shot upward, singeing the ends of his tail....

Cygnus’ time in the dungeon had been long and tiring. The dive was only meant to be quick but had turned out into a long adventure. He was on his way back out when he began to have a weird feeling like someone was watching him. The path was clear and nothing stood out immediately to him. Suddenly, a small drop of water fell from the ceiling causing the older courser to look upwards. The ceiling, once made of hard stone was now completely covered in bats. Each bat, cozied up next to many oth...

The clipping of hooves on stone rings out as the speeding breeze whizzes past his nigh hairless form. Armpit, a green and tepid adventurer, stalwart in his stride, braves this first foray into the entrance of the dungeon. Already feeling in his blood how proud he is making his forebearers.“Hmmhh-Hmnhgh-!!” His muffled tone spits saliva all over his trusty fork sealed tight in his maw. Breaking his gait to a slower pace, Armpit trots with a galavant air as he stride...
