Dain - Spiders Dain took a step into the steaming cavern, taking note of the pillars and then of the...denizens that resided near the top of them. He let out a barely audible whisper that sounded like something between admiration and surprise. Incredible. Time to set you down, my diminutive...

Dain - Four Sides Dain backpedaled his way away from the glyph, wary of what might happen when the mystical hand did its work. Is it wise to poke a bee's nest? A bear might say so, if there be honey inside...but this? Well if I perish, at least I will perish with a blade in my hand. Would...

Dain - The Crevice Dain watched as the antediluvian elf vanished back into the shadows. A shudder ran up his spine. Whether it was from fear or admiration, even he could not say for sure. Something about the presence of an elf made him grip his sword tighter, to take comfort in its weight and...

Dain - The Crevice His name? There is no harm in telling her your name. It is not, after all, your name. "I am called Darkspring." Dain was still residing as much in the shadows as was feasible. He had not dropped his guard or lowered his eyes from the woman. She resides here? Eating what...

Dain - the crevice Dain's eyes widened at the sight of the woman and his sword jerked but stayed still. Essithea...she resembles you, like some carven miniature in a wooden shrine. He let the others do the talking. His boot slid forward slightly, the blade of his dark sword twisting ever so...

Dain - In the crevice A false floor?! Dain took a step backwards, perhaps thinking the floor beneath his feet was an illusion too. But no. It was real enough! Such sorcery... As the others investigated the illusion and pondered its source and meaning, Dain was looking beyond it, into the...

Dain studied the chasm with the others. Honestly, he appeared perplexed. Maybe his mind was elsewhere? "I do not believe it worth the risk. We should try the other crack, perhaps?" He could be persuaded, if the others pushed. <Into check=3>

Dain - Down the Crack With Jeovanna carrying the dwarf, and doing a fine job of it he had to admit, Dain would take the point position. He held his torch aloft, carrying his sword in a ready position. As he walked through the shadows made by fire and magic, listening to the others and peering...

Dain-Watch your Step Dain looked down the tunnel for some moments, then backed up, turning around to face the others. "Sea monsters? Most likely, yes." He said this without any humor. And why should he? Had they not already fought demonic beasts? A sea monster would be almost welcome. "I am...

Dain - Watch Your Step Dain emerged from the winding crevice with the others, happy to have some space around him. It seemed like too long since he had breathed fresh air, and the stench of dung and salt did little to appease his desire for a clean wind and a bath in a mountain stream. A...

Dain- Small Discoveries Well, they were going deeper. Good. His own mettle had been tested, and some glimpses of his past, and some gestures from his goddess had followed. He wanted more. If he had to bleed and suffer for some revelation, then he welcomed it. Better to die knowing who he was...

Dain - Small Discoveries Dain had taken the last watch, which was fortunate for him, as he had needed the time to recover. His wounds had been very close to being something he might not have walked away from. The difference between a flesh wound that closed quickly and one that allowed entrails...

Dain- A hatred of bats Dain loosened his grip on his sword, watching through barely opened eyes as the bats flitted away. They had not needed his help, and in truth he had learned much from watching the group for the last bit of the skirmish. He closed his eyes, falling back into the mists.

Dain - Hours One through Six Dain slept, seemingly heedless of anything that happened in the waking world. He dreamed. Of Essithea. As temptress, benefactor, and confidant. And of a Queen whose face he could never clearly see, of toppled thrones and raging fires, of fields of grass and...

Dain - Dreams of a Long Slumber Dain hears the voices of the others, echoing against stone. He closes his eyes for a brief moment and is immediately met with an image of Essithea, her back to him, wading into a dark pool of water. Her alabaster skin is in stark contrast to her raven hair, as...

Dain - The Hunt You saw. I know you did. Dain stood still for a moment, watching as the creature fell apart, his face a mask of pain. He understood what might have happened. Its fate could have been theirs. Only fortune, skill, and perhaps the aid of an immortal might nudge a soul one way or...

Dain- The Hunt Dain sidestepped slightly as the greatsword swept by him, and he smiled a grim and bloody smile as it found its mark. "You...strike well." He said, doing a fair job of concealing his pain. "Let me try to match you!" Images of green meadows that rippled with wind passed through...

Dain - The Hunt An arrow whizzed by Dain in the darkness, and he jerked backwards, wincing at the pain in his knee. His torch bumped against the wall, sending a shower of sparks falling to his feet like glowing rain. He heard the creature whine in pain. Then the creature struck again, tearing...

Dain - The Hunt Dain's heart was racing as he wove through the tunnel after the creature. The hunt was on! Let it run, let it flee before his blade like a leaf blown by a storm! These tunnels are not the winding tracks of the forest and the hill, but I will tread them without fear regardless...

Dain - The Lair As the great demon mound fell to pieces, Dain took a step backwards, both in alarm and in disgust. Within him, he felt the passing of whatever mystical guidance had been upon him. He praised his luck that he could not see the thing in its entirety in broad daylight. It would no...
