    D&D 5E (2014) The Kalarian Precipice - Chapter Five

    Dain - Kravikus Comes Dain's eyes widened at Annit's display of power. "To the shadows...protect yourself!" He whispered, but loudly. He drifted backwards, beyond the torchlight. Waiting.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Kalarian Precipice - Chapter Five

    Dain - Decisions Bloodlines. The very word reminds me of how little I know of myself. To have one is be surrounded by a cocoon, be it for ill or boon. But to be without one is to be exposed to the elements of the world, naked and afraid. He listened to Annit, nodding slightly in the dim light...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Kalarian Precipice - Chapter Five

    Dain - Decisions Dain stared off into the darkness of the mine. And it was no longer dark. Shadows were lit up and alive, seething like swamp gas. A shortened breath marked his surprise. Essithea... Annit's question draws him back and he looks at her, nodding. "Well enough, I think." He...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Kalarian Precipice - Chapter Five

    Dain - Decisions Listening to the disembodied skull, Dain appeared to shake his head slightly, as if clearing away some annoyance. His eyes closed briefly and a sensation of falling into something soft and damp followed. The pain in his chest faded. Time slowed down for him, and he was keenly...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Kalarian Precipice - Chapter Four

    Dain - The Grinning Skull Dain lay for a moment on the hard, burning ground. He held up the sword with one hand, in a sort of victorious gesture. Not this time...bastards! You test me, Essithea! Carthum's ministrations were not necessary. He was burned, but not broken. And he had a feeling...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Kalarian Precipice - Chapter Four

    Dain - The Grinning Skull Dain's sword clattered to the ground, near a gurgling pit of lava. Taking a step backwards, he stared at his hand for a moment, clenching it and releasing it. Tendrils of smoke still twist upwards from his chest. It burns. Cruel twist of fortune...arse...where is the...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Kalarian Precipice - Chapter Four

    Pain. The smell of acrid flesh. Misery. Is it any wonder Dain's strike is errant? Devil's arse! I flail like a limp necked doe full of Hunter's barbs! A foul fate, but not am unjust one! <To strike=6> CRITICAL FAIL

    D&D 5E (2014) The Kalarian Precipice - Chapter Four

    Dain - The Grinning Skull It was battle! Not exactly what Dain had planned but such was life! These things were probably going to kill them all, but not without a struggle. Lashing out with his blade, Dain sneered at his opponent. "My soul is still my own!" For the time being. <11 to hit>

    D&D 5E (2014) The Kalarian Precipice - Chapter Four

    Dain - The Grinning Skull The horror! Streams of sweat fall down Dain's face, from both fear and the intense heat of the chamber. He takes a step backwards, gripping his sword in a hand that he has a hard time keeping still from shaking. Then he sees the skull. And hears its words. It is a...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Kalarian Precipice - Chapter Four

    Dain - Four Sides A split second to act. Less than that to consider the options. Whatever was beyond the gap probably knew they were there, they had stopped speaking so suddenly, in their strange infernal tongue. Spellcasters and demons. Spells took time, vocations and gestures. Death on the...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Kalarian Precipice - Chapter Four

    Dain - Triple Fork Cart tracks...cart tracks. Carts in a mine...carts to carry ore...to carry gems. Essithea, your gems are twisted roots and smooth-topped mushrooms, but these gems we seek here...they are unique as well... Dain nodded to Annit, letting her know he understood what she had...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Kalarian Precipice - Chapter Four

    Dain - Triple Fork Dain sniffed at the air, still crouched down, waiting in the darkness. When he heard the strange sound, his head turned so that his ear faced that direction. What new danger awaits us? This is a den of death if there ever was one. I'll need a new jerkin, if for nothing else...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Kalarian Precipice - Chapter Four

    Dain - Four Sides After a little ways down the eastern path, both of them making as much noise as was possible, Dain stopped briefly and turned to Carthum. "Well at least they will hear us coming, eh?" Coming to the triple-fork, Dain nodded at Carthum's sensing of some arcana down the middle...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Kalarian Precipice - Chapter Four

    Dain - Four Sides Dain listened to Annit and Jeovanna's assessment. "More spiders." He grumbled. Then he glanced over at the one he had slain. "Perhaps they'll eat this one and we can slide by." Seeing Metea holding the dead imp, he nodded. "They would eat his corpse as well, as foul as it no...

    Dain Dain watched Carthum work between looking around for danger. "We need to hurry." He reminded them. "This crossroads is a poor place to rest." Going through the spider lair would be risky. The path after the evil rat bird might be better.

    D&D 5E (2014) The Kalarian Precipice - Chapter Four

    Dain - Four Sides With a grunt, Dain pulled his blade free of the spider. "Dangle death no more." He muttered. Calling forth thorn and bramble upon my foes...this is power. Even in the darkest depths, you are with me. I will gladly walk the gloomy places for you... Briefly, he ran his eyes...

    Dain - Four Sides Even from his vantage point, attacking the ensnared spider, Dain can see the condition of Otiroth cannot be good. But there is little he could do to help the sorcerer while their enemies still lived. "Otiroth! Stay strong, shadow-brother...or else make peace with whoever you...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Kalarian Precipice - Chapter Four

    Dain - Four Sides Magic. Darkness. Shadows and light. Everything swirled around Dain as the battle was joined. A rush of adrenaline ran through him, and he slipped into such shadows as there were between him and the giant spider, which was his target. I feel you. Close. I the roots that...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Kalarian Precipice - Chapter Four

    Dain - Four Sides Dain was hard on Jeovanna's heels, even if he was not as silent. But let the demon-gurgler know they were coming! Let it not be said that they were assassins who put knives in the backs of their enemies as they slept! Sliding up alongside Jeovanna, sword poised and torch...

    D&D 5E (2014) The Kalarian Precipice - Chapter Four

    Dain - Four Sides These spiders would be fast, and strong beyond belief. At that size...we would be hard pressed to deal with them. One...maybe. But several? He tightened his grip on his sword, taking solace in its weight and balance. The sound of the infernal language made Dain pause and...
