Letting the moment pass as the pair of reptilian monstrosities crumpled to the floor, Dane couldn't help but let loose a small laugh as the adrenaline took its course through his body, subsiding slowly but surely alongside the pounding of his heart. Silence took the stage for what felt like...

Finding his mark against the deadly lizard-like beast as the others made their way into the fray, Dane only narrowly managed to deflect the creature's counter-attack with the flat of his blade, no doubt a grisly fate had he not lucked out and seen the telegraphed strike in time. "Take them...

Following right along behind Samad after slinging the pack around his shoulders to the floor once more, Dane reached the threshold just in-time to see his colleague poked and prodded for the second time today by denizens most foul. While he might not have recognized whatever these monsters were...

While tipping their hand might not have been Dane's first choice, the merits for a peaceful resolution were obviously a potential benefit. No one wanted another fracas in the old ruins; not after the roach incident and its near-mauling of the same man trying to scare whomever -- or whatever --...

Narrowly avoiding a perilous pitfall as he scampered across the uneven surface, his poorly distributed weight dislodged a portion of the stony passageway, Dane's ill-fated verbal assuage was as untimely as it was amateurish in the wake of his clumsiness. He could already feel the eyes of his...

Rolling his eyes at Paskell's snide little jab but otherwise undeterred, Dane remained focused on the business at hand -- chiefly, that of scouring his way quietly across the rope and the crumbling stairway the tengu had secured in preparation for the job still poised before them. Still no sign...

The broken stairwell hadn't been as much of a surprise as it could have been given the nature of the abode, but Dane was nonetheless sour over the unlucky break before them -- both literally and figuratively. It was just one more obstacle they'd have to overcome... an obstacle, most notably...

Striding into the room in anticipation of a fight, Dane was as much relieved as he was surprised that the area was vacant, save for the all too familiar odor and sights of disturbed rubble from the earthquake that had dislodged the entrance. As empty as it was, though, there still remained the...

With the moment having passed and his own nerves settled, Dane gave another affirmative nod to the allotted crew of adventurous heroes, eager to get back to the important task at hand. They still had a missing man to find -- for good or ill -- and a stench to quell; its pungent odor still...

Between he and Aeron's assault, the cockroach now laid dead, its guts splattered all over Dane's once clean clothes as a testament of their combined success. Panting as the adrenaline in his system began to wear off in the wake of the slain bug, the young adventurer quickly shifted his attention...

Glad that he'd struck a soft spot against the creature, Dane beamed with his own success. His face quickly contorted itself into one of sheer horror, however, as the beast remained standing, rending Samad asunder with its massive sharpened appendages. The young human's blood ran cold at the...

With the flames of Samad's torch licking at the multitude of heels the massive roach bore, the tables were quickly turning in their favor! The nomad's quick thinking had set the creature on edge, made it sloppy -- sloppy, but still dangerous. As it reared up on its sharpened legs and let loose...

"Just a cockroach, he says..." Dane thought as he closed the gap upon his monstrous adversary, its massive chitinous form dwarfing all other roaches he'd ever seen by more than a good margin. The legs on that thing looked as if they could rip steel asunder, let alone their much softer, more...

In the dark depths of the insufferably intoxicating ruins, it didn't take long for Dane to spy the viciously large insect sequestered against the destitute walls, suddenly grateful that he'd pried the door open slowly in lieu of aptly kicking it asunder. The fact alone that such a massive roach...

"You're sure, Aeron?" the young warrior inquired, still skeptical about the unheard noise. Biting his lip in thought, Dane looked towards the door warily. He stood deathly still, listening for any sort of signal to illicit Aeron's claim. Again, Dane heard nothing. Perhaps it truly was nothing...
