2025-02-16 20:55:02 +0000 UTC View PostI stepped through the wide workshop doors and onto the packed earthen floor, reveling in the familiar scents of coal, heated metal, and leather. Light seeping in from the skylight caught dust motes dancing in the air. The workshop stood exactly as I'd left it – two anvils out on the floor, barr...

Its claws ceased scrabbling at Garrett's shield, and the legs spasmed as it collapsed. Goo splattered onto the ground as I hopped back, wrestling my axe out.
