Dungeon Dives

Literature
Chaos found himself in front of what looked like a very steep incline, the next cavern exit was even further above that and would require him to put in some physical effort.  Chaos sighed. Now if Phaze was here, he could just pop up there and let me know if it was worth the trouble. Chaos was not sure if he wanted to try this, especially when there was no guarantee of finding anything good up there. He also lamented that he had not brought more skeletal servants...

You've made it deeper into the Dungeon now. As you delve further into its secrets, you aren't resting quite as easily. Your dreams become... stranger. What's haunting you in your sleep? The air in the depths of the dungeon was heavier, colder, and carried with it a silence so loud it felt chilled her bones. Camellia had grown used to the unease that crept into her thoughts as they delved deeper, but now it was seeping into her sleep. Every time she closed her e...

Every bone half-buried on the battlefield was picked clean long ago, but still, crows land on them. At least... They look like crows from afar. Do you get closer? What do you see?   The wind howled across the moors, a mournful sound that seemed to carry with it the weight of centuries of forgotten battles. The fog clung to the earth, swirling in the air as if it, too, had never left the battlefield. Camellia’s lanterned staff illuminated the path ahea...

You come across the frame and torn skin of a drum lying on the Moor. Have you heard music before? Do you like it? And who would play music in a place like this?   The lanterned staff in Camellia’s grasp cast a warm glow over the strange sight before her: the frame of a drum, its skin torn and flapping slightly in the cold wind of the Moor. The damp air carried the faint scent of rot and earth, and somewhere far off, the low, mournful cry of the wind swept a...

   Dragon’s ears swiveled sharply, attuned to the faint rustle behind him. His hooves, scuffed and scarred from countless battles, remained perfectly still against the cold stone floor of the dungeon. He didn’t turn his head immediately—no, that would give away too much. Instead, he let his narrow eyes scan the edges of his vision. The shadows seemed to shift, mocking him, but Dragon knew better. Something was there. His breath curled into mist as he exhaled, slow and controlled...

After lighting his path with the torch, holding it with his ghost hand and walking along the path, he found that his hoof got caught in the rocks. He tried to pull it out, but was having trouble, so he held the torch with his mouth, and used his ghost hand to pull the rocks out from around his hoof and freed himself. ...

Chaos keep going until he found somethin that interested him. In this case it was that he stumbled upon, well actually almost stepped on a small slime. It was non-threatening and a bit quite to look at. "You should go and hide before some adventurer kills you and turns you in to alchemy material," Chaos told it. Of course the slime didn't seem to understand and hopped over to him instead. Chaos sighed softly and watched it come right up to his leg and then bounce cutely i...

Tib had been tentatively stepping through the echoey caves for so long, he couldn’t quite remember what it felt like to not be in the cave. That wasn’t quite right, though. He distinctly had memories of hiking up rocky mountainsides. Sun warming his fur, the wind twirling and playing with his hair as it gently patted his face again and again. It felt like freedom, and like he was right at home. But here, the dripping and echoing rock seemed to yawn on forever. Beckoning him ...

The Moor stretched endlessly before Myst, its twisted terrain shrouded in fog and the heavy weight of forgotten memories. The air was thick with the scent of decay, yet there was something almost comforting in its quiet. The pale light of dusk hung low, casting shadows that danced and flickered with every passing breeze. Myst had grown accustomed to the isolation, to the eerie silence that often enveloped him, but today—today was different. The first thing he noticed was the sound. I...

  With a deafening buzz, as cloud of cave bugs flies in your face! AHHH! How did you disturb the swarm? What do you do now?   Diomedes shook his head vigorously, hooves stomping in panic as the cloud of bugs buzzed around his face. "By the gods! What is THAT?!" he swung his head left and right, trying to swat at the buzzing swarm with his large hooves, his mane flailing wildly as he backed away slowly, body tensing with alarm. "I di...

Chaos had been left alone in the camp and that was never a good thing for a courser with an active mind like his and little concept of morality. Luckily his brain didn't go in any truly sinister direction today he just took one of his skeleton servants and headed into the caverns to collect herbs for the others to use. He was much more interested in magic and its implements that in herbalism of any kind but he had a g...
