The waiting is the hardest part.
Well, I'm in the home stretch of book three. Got about four chapters left to write that will deal with the culmination of the entire story. There'a couple of surprises in the last book that I hope no one will see coming.
The thing that kind of sucks now is when I write a chapter I'm satisifed with, I have the overwhelming urge to run out here and post it. I find myself craving that lovely, instant validation that only a message board story hour can provide. I'm just gonna have to start another one once I'm done with Metamorphosis and the upcoming Grummok project.
However, I've been given pretty much free reign to post previews of the upcoming books, so with that in mind, what would you guys like to see? More monsters, more art, sample chapters? Let me know, and I'll try my best to accomdate.
Also, I want to point all of you to a thread I started called: Pimp a *New* story hour. Basically, the idea here is to give some props to some of the new or underrated authors here. So if you're reading a newer story hour you like, go out to the this thread and reccomend it, then go and give that stroy hour an "attaboy" bump.

Almost done!
I'm working on the final chapter of book 3, and it's gonna be one wild, gigantic, bitch of a chapter. Imagine the Battle of Pelennor Fields (Return of the King) with daemons vs. demons, instead of orcs vs. humans.

Big Nasty Preview!
Hi all, book three is done. So, I thought I would give you guys a sneak peak at one of the big bads that will be menacing Hazergal and co. Those of you who are familiar with my old suped-up monster thread might note some similarities between this thing and another super powerful monster i did.
_____________________________________________________________________________
This mountain of scaly horror stands fifty feet tall, and its head is a nightmarish lump that is all toothy maw and great, lantern-like eyes. Its arms are long, multi-jointed, and tipped with massive three-fingered claws, easily capable of scooping up a giant with little effort. As it moves toward you, its shape wavers, and just for an instant you see something writhe and pulsate beneath its skin, something too horrible to even contemplate.

_______________________________________________________________________
Augmented Critical (Ex): Abu Hol’s bite threatens a critical hit on a natural attack roll of 18–20, dealing triple damage on a successful critical hit. This has been further enhanced by the Improved Critical feat.
Constant Insight (Su): Abu Hol makes all its attacks with a +15 insight bonus. It is not affected by the miss chance that applies to attacks against a concealed target.
Frightful Presence (Su): Abu Hol can inspire terror by charging or attacking. Affected creatures must succeed on a DC 68 Will save or become shaken, remaining in that condition as long as they remain with 60 feet of the abomination.
Horrid Form (Su): At will, Abu Hol can take the form of a grotesque, tentacled mass, but all its abilities remain unchanged despite the alien appearance. Changing shape is a standard action. Non-outsiders viewing this transformation and Abu Hol’s true form must make a DC 68 Will save or be permanently feebleminded. Nothing short of a wish, miracle, or direct divine intervention can restore a stricken creature to sanity.
Improved Grab (Ex): If Abu Hol hits an opponent smaller than it with a tentacle or bite attack it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can either use rotting constriction (with a tentacle) or try to swallow the foe the following round (with a bite).
Nondetection (Su): Abu Hol resists detection, and is treated as if affected by a nondetection spell (CL 60th).
Regeneration (Ex): No form of attack deals lethal damage to Abu Hol, and it cannot be truly slain by any force known to this reality. However, Abu Hol can be severely weakened by the sigil of Naggath-Orguul, a powerful and obscure spell that summons forth a mighty flaming sigil in the shape of a five-pointed star surrounding a flaming eye. In the presence of the sigil Abu Hol cannot regenerate, loses its spell resistance and damage reduction, and when it is reduced to 0 hit points (no small task in itself) it is banished back to its tomb in Hades.
Rotting Constriction (Ex): Once Abu Hol has hold of an opponent, each successful grapple check it makes during subsequent rounds permanently drains 2d4 points of Constitution. At the same time, Abu Hol regains 10 lost hit points.
Swallow Whole (Ex): Abu Hol can try to swallow a grabbed opponent of Huge or smaller size by making a successful grapple check. Once inside, the opponent must make a DC 80 Fortitude saving throw every round or be destroyed, utterly and irrevocably by the terrible energies contained with the horrid abomination. Creatures destroyed in this manner ore truly gone, and cannot be brought back to life by any means, at least any known to this reality.
A swallowed creature can cut its way out by dealing 100 points of damage to Abu Hol’s innards (AC 45). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole; another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out.
Abu Hol’s gullet can hold 2 Huge, 8 Large, 32 Medium, 128 Small, or 512 Tiny or smaller creatures. However, since victims are often utterly consumed, there is no limit to the amount of creatures Abu Hol can devour.
Abu Hol is a remnant from a time when true madness and chaos ruled the multiverse. It is one of the lesser scions of a race of eldritch fiends that left this multiverse for the realms of outer darkness long ago. It now slumbers in a forgotten tomb on the plane of Hades, awakening only at the whim of powerful daemon lords who know the proper spells and rituals to control it.
Background
In the beginning, the multiverse was a seething void of chaos, a hostile, yet fertile, firmament whereupon anything might take root and germinate. As the reality we now began to take shape, layering itself into the first primal planes of existence, what is now called Hades, and its direct opposite, Elysium, it attracted the attention of vast and alien minds from outside our reality.
These eldritch beings seeped down from ineffable realms of madness and claimed the barren, gloom-haunted wastes of Hades as their own. For eons untold these colossal entities ruled the multiverse uncontested, warring with one another on occasion for reasons mortal minds can only guess at. There is not written history of this primordial era, but later daemonic historians, especially the enigmatic Naggath-Orguul, describe a great cataclysm that drove these ancient beings back into the outer dark. Naggath-Orguul believed that this cataclysm was simply the further spread of the multiverse and the rise of other sentient creatures. As this reality took shape and grew, the elder fiends were forced to withdraw, as the bizarre, alien matter they were composed of became unstable in the growing wake of order, light, and reason.
Eventually, the elder fiends departed our reality en masse, leaving only those few that had become tainted by our reality, and therefore unable to leave. The race of daemons that inherited Hades learned where these few abandoned abomination slept, and found that they could harness their power. It was Naggath-Orguul, the one time advisor to Yaghur Hod, who discovered the secret of controlling these ancient beings, and it was he that designed the sigil that could bind them and render them tractable to the will of another.
Unfortunately, Naggath-Orguul was devoured by one of the slumbering entities, the thing that is now known as Abu Hol, or simply “The Beast,” when he attempted to awaken it However, his master, the powerful Yaghur Hod, perfected his servant’s method, and managed to yoke Abu Hol to his will. He used the great beast to assault Elysium, and later awakened it again when he sought to conquer the Abyss.
Although a lesser member of his terrible race, Abu Hol still ranks among the most powerful entities in the multiverse. So powerful is the slumbering behemoth that it has influenced the minds of mortals for thousands of years, as its terrible dreams of hunger and madness echo through the ether to reach certain receptive minds on the Prime Material Plane. This has allowed cults devoted to the ancient fiend to spring up in a number of cultures; however, those that choose to worship Abu Hol receive no benefit from it, as the Beast cannot grant spells. It was one of these horrid cults that gave the creature the name it is most often called by, Abu Hol, or the Father of Terror.
There are rumors that Abu Hol was awakened between Yaghur Hod’s assault on Elysium and his recent freedom of the Guardinal’s prison. A number of minor deities are reported to have been slain and devoured by a terrible beast fitting Abu Hol’s description, and the terrible monster known as the tarrasque is purported to be a lesser offspring of the mighty fiend. The truth of these rumors is, however, in question, although there is enough circumstantial evidence to lend them some credence.
Strategies and Tactics
Only madness and death awaits anyone unfortunate enough to actually face Abu Hol in direct combat. There is nothing short of a greater god that can check The Beast’s power, and it is truly immortal, proof against all threats this reality has to offer. Only the sigil of Naggath-Orguul can strip Abu Hol of a portion of its power, rendering it vulnerable to banishment back to Hades.
In its material from, that of the great, reptilian monstrosity, Abu Hol begins combat by charging and attempting to bite and swallow as many creatures as possible. If an opponent is simply too large to swallow, the elder fiend will dismember it asunder with tooth and claw for easier devouring. When forced into its true form, a vast tentacular mass that is utterly horrifying to look upon, Abu Hol will snatch up enemies with its tentacles and then drain them of vitality with its rotting constriction ability.
Abu Hol has no use of complex tactics, and will simply attack relentlessly until its opponent is dead and devoured, or it is banished. Only the appearance of the sigil of Naggath-Orguul forces it to pay any attention to a particular target, as it attempts to quickly destroy any creature casting the long and complicated spell.
Sigil of Naggath-Orguul
Necromancy
Level: Clr 9, Sor/Wiz 9
Components: V, S
Cost: 1d8 damage to all ability scores
Casting Time: 10 minutes
Range: 0 ft.; see text
Effect: One symbol
Duration: One minute/level
Saving Throw: None
Spell Resistance: No
This powerful spell summons forth a great blazing symbol in the shape of a five-pointed star surrounding a flaming eye. It can be nearly any size the caster wishes (from 5 to 50 feet in diameter) and hovers in front of him at a distance of 5 feet. The symbol affects only creatures with the abomination subtype, rendering them easier to damage and defeat. Any abomination within long range (400 ft. + 40 ft./caster level) that can see the sigil is affected by its power, and loses all spell resistance and damage reduction, and cannot regenerate or use fast healing.
Sigil of Naggath-Orguul is an exceedingly difficult and dangerous spell to cast. Upon completion of the spell, the caster suffers 1d8 points of ability damage to all ability scores. In addition, if the spell is interrupted during casting for any reason, the caster must make a DC 25 Fortitude save or suffer 2d8 points of ability damage to all ability scores.

Quartz said:Nicely nasty! So when do we get to see Hol himself?
Thanks. Abu Hol appears in book three. Book two should be released soon, but I'll have to check with Morrus for an exact date.
But fear not, you guys have around 150,000 words of demony goodness to go through in the next two books. If that were broken down into story hour terms, it would be like 50 updates.
I'm now completely done with the writing, and as much as I love this story, I think I have had enough of demons, devils, and daemons for awhile. I'm really looking forward to moving on to my next big writing project.
