Development in the Gloomwood caves
« on: February 23, 2010, 03:27:50 pm »
The cave is dark, dank and unpleasant. An aura of nausea envelopes the place, the few bloated ogres who lurk outside have obviously suffered the effects. But they are only rotting corpses now, soon to be fodder for the carrion feeders. A heavily armoured man wrapped in a dark cloak stalks through the cave, though unusually for him there is no villainy in his goals.

He calmly smashes slimes and molds that have taken on a new life with the flat of his blade. The stench seems not to effect him, nor the gore and foulness that drips from his sword. A slight rattle causes him to turn sharply. A giant malformed skeletal creature rushes him in its deathly silence. Bone shatters, shards fly, and a cleaved skull smashes on the floor. He moves on.

He turns a corner and a strange sight greets him. A gargoyle statue? It emerges from the stone like it has been there for years, though knowing this place well he knows this fact to be false. A small chest of gold sits open invitingly in front of the sculpture which strikes a fancy with him. However he leaves it untouched, coin not being his goal. He continues on.

Soon another frozen creature draws his eye. It is similar to its brother though far more grotesque. It radiates a sense of malevolence and evil, the floating image of a skull hovering above it. This intrigues him and he inspects it further. He ponders as to its purpose.
