Dain - The Lair Filth was flying now, and the foul screams of the creatures seemed to rain down from everywhere. Still clutching his torch in his left hand, it crackled and sputtered loudly as he ripped it around so that his sword arm could come in for another attack. Behind him, he was dimly...

Dain - The Lair Blood and ooze flew from the creature as Dain's blade cleaved through the foul filth that was the creature. He was only dimly aware of the trinkets, and even the gaunt figures, that rolled from its mass. He was focused on one thing and that was to kill his mark. His sword was a...

Dain - the lair Dain squinted at the sight of the mound, bringing his sword to bear. As the torchlight reflected off the dark blade, illuminating the design upon it, he heard the words of Essithea again. *Bleed for me.* Something happened. Maybe it was the latent mystic power of the mine or...

Dain - The Lair Dain was creeping along behind the mystics, listening mostly to Carthum's armor and shield scrape and grind against the rock behind him. Nothing to be done about it, that was for certain. And as far as Dain was concerned, he would protect the cleric with his life no matter what...

Dain - The Crack Dain followed the mystics through the crack, nodding to Carthum as the cleric took the rear position. His shield suited that well enough. Dain's sword felt good in his hand, balanced and ready for anything. If Dain himself was not quite so perfectly attuned to the situation...

Dain - The Crack "Annit! Slow down!" Her pace of speaking was furious, but it was obvious she was telling the truth. Dain's sword was free of its scabbard in a moment and he slid over near the crack, peeking in from a position of safety with his back against the wall near the crack entrance...

Dain - Crack Creeping Dain watched in the dim light as Annit headed off and began her investigation. His gaze lingered on her, admiring her lithe body and graceful steps, straying back only after she had disappeared into the darkness. Most of the others seemed intent on doing some...

Dain - Aftermath Dain listened as Annit spoke, gauging her eyes and her expression for something she might be hiding or twisting. <Insight=6> A sparrow? Is this what she actually sees, or what she wishes to see? She is a thief by trade, but does her penchant for stealing go beyond trinkets? I...

Dain - The Mere There was a place, nestled at the bottom of a craggy mountain, where a timeless spring bubbled up into a wide and deep pool of still dark water. A blanket of algae floated on its surface, moving about as if by its own whim, forever shading half of the pool beneath its...

Dain - Aftermath Dain took a hard step backwards as the final creature was slain. He winced slightly at the pain in his chest, but his eyes were alight with the fire of victory. Retrieving his torch once again, he took a look around at his comrades before settling himself into a seated position...

Dain - The Shadows The hand of Carthum once again was laid upon him and the power of faith, the power of Suru, flowed into Dain. Pain turned to serenity. Agony turned into purpose. He would not waste the gentle god's healing grace upon him! Already the mighty priest was injured. He had made a...

Dain - The Shadows The pain ripped through Dain's pysche, and he gritted his teeth in agony and in anger. Was this where it ended? I remember a trail, little more than a deer path, through a mountain meadow. It was spring, the flowers were like jewels... He imagined his wound, the flesh...

Dain - Into the Shadows There was another one?! No matter. More tales to tell. He crouched slightly, preparing himself as his comrades attacked and defended in a flurry of action. There were few things better than a good tale over a campfire. Did I enjoy tales as a boy? Was I ever a boy, or...

Dain - Into the Shadows Dain cursed in frustration as his ill-prepared thrust went wide of the creature. But at least Jeovanna had cleaved it! The thing's maw snapped at Dain and it felt like pure good fortune that it missed taking a bite out of him... And then, in a moment of strange sound...

Dain - Into the Shadows Dain's blood was up as he rushed forward, but he skidded to a stop when the action seemed to suddenly be...behind them?! Spinning around, still holding his torch aloft, he tried to make out with certainty what the others were seeing. Teleporting? It was a vaguely...

Dain - Into the Shadows As they moved along, the shuffling of their feet and the sound of their breathing seemed to grow louder to Dain's ears. Perhaps it was the fact that they were getting deeper and deeper, further and further, into the mine and sound was echoing. The mystical lights...

Dain - Beyond the Pit As the undead creature fell in flames, its body broken, Dain took a step backwards, his sword held up high in an aggressive stance. His eyes followed the orbs that fell from the small head...and in the back of his mind he heard distant voices that slowly receded as the...

Dain - Beyond the Pit The sight of the undead creature coming into the range of the torchlight made the hairs on Dain's neck stand up and his eyes narrow into slits, brows furrowed. His knuckles grew white as he gripped his sword with a clenching strength. A young woman surrounded in an aura...

Dain - Beyond the Pit A bear trap? He approved of this plan heartily, even if he showed it with just a nod of his head and a gesture towards the narrow opening. As Jeovanna laid it and set it, Dain hovered very nearby, trying to position himself to gain advantage on whatever came through. His...

Dain - Further Down The mixing of Dain's torchlight and the mystical light of Suru made Dain pause briefly and rub his eyes with the back of his sword hand. His mind raced, images flashing across his vision: Pale, flawless skin glowed in the light of flickering torches, sliding free from...
