Sárkány stared into the entrance of the Earthen Furnace. He’d been dungeoneering for years now, with the help of his older sister Hivnin. But he dared not to go further than the Overgrown Caverns. Things were simple here and teeming with life, whereas the Furnace seemed to bellow out smoke and exude way too much heat. It was intimidating to him.      Hivnin walked up beside him, gently brushing her shou...

     Sárkány sighed as they walked through the Earthen Furnace. He rarely stuck around this level of the Dungeon, but there was a specific set of monster parts he was looking for. It was too hot down here, too much smoke and the constant threat of magma pools. His coat felt wet with sweat. He looked up towards Terrence, his guide. How did this guy do it?

Not many Coursers went through here, experienced or new. There seemed to just be nothing of value in the area. To Avery, that meant more potential for hidden valuables. To Crispin, that meant more potential for uncharted dangers. ...

     "So... you’re sure you know where we’re going?"      After several days down in the caverns of the Dungeons, Avery was more than excited to go home. He'd been given a lead on some loot that ultimately led to nothing, so the last thing he needed was to run into a ginormous boulder.
