Hump gathered his will and prepared another Rockshot, reaching out for the stone shards that lay scattered across the ground from where he’d blasted apart the wall the day before.
Vamir dodged the salamander’s charge with an easy motion, spinning out of the way and appearing at...

Hump’s heart thundered. Footsteps beat behind them, growing closer with every passing moment. Already, he could feel himself starting to panic. There was no way out. He, Bud, and Celaine brought up the rear of the column, dozens of injured villagers standing between them and safety. They moved ...

Hump screamed, maddened by the pain, maddened by the inexhaustible power. He felt ready to explode. Heat and pain seared through him as if his blood were boiling, threatening to burn him apart from the inside. The pain fuelled his anger and drive to destroy his enemies. To rip apart the undead ko...

“The gods are punishing us,” one of the villagers cried, terror in his voice. They were huddled together at the rear of the walkway, just outside the entrance to the tunnel that led back to the surface. “We were never meant to escape!”
“Stop it!” Bud growled, low enough that Hum...

The kobolds fled shrieking, scattering into their tunnels and disappearing into the dark. Hump was shaking with adrenaline. His throat hurt from screaming so hard, but gods it felt good. They’d won. They’d saved the village, saved Kassius and his party, and they’d looked damn good doing it....

Flashy wasn’t exactly Hump’s strong point. A fire sorcerer like Lantheer would have been far better suited for a task like this. No doubt the Chosen could have slaughtered half the kobolds on his own. Hump though had no talent for fire or lightning. And while tossing about a few rocks might l...

The tunnel air grew hot as they approached the boiling pools once more. The air rumbled with the sound of them. When Hump had been there last it had smelt of the human bodies stewing within, now it smelt only of steam and stone.
They didn’t stop. Hump was glad for it. It was better not to...

Hump forced himself to work, as much as his body ached and his mind screamed at him to rest. He didn’t want to be here anymore. He didn’t want to smell the blood or the rot, or see the dead kobolds, or the men that had been hung from the roof to bleed. He was sick of it all. But the job wasn...

Hump didn’t think as he stormed into the chamber. He stabbed the end of his staff into the stomach of the closest kobold, the one that had been crouched over its injured comrade just a moment ago. It doubled over from the force of the blow, letting out a winded scream. Before it could fall to i...

Hump knew that Vamir was fast, but as they hurried through the grove it was his first time truly seeing the man in action. He moved fast and silently as a wolf, easily staying ahead of them while still on the lookout for any traps along the way. Judging from all the random twists and turns they...

Hump staggered back from the pillar of blue fire. Blazing cold struck him like hail in a storm. On instinct, he raised a hand to shield his face, peeking out through a gap in his fingers. The icy air howled, whipping at his hair and cloak, pressing him back away from the ice.
The pillar ros...

Hump had heard that time seems to slow down as death approaches—he wasn’t sure what idiot came up with that idea. If anything, time seemed to have sped up as the scaledbrute stormed toward him.
With an aching arm, Hump raised his staff, aiming at its face. Its feet thumped the ground lo...

Of all the things Hump had expected to find in the dungeon, an essence grove wasn’t one of them. They were rare, so rare that even the old man had only ever seen one. And just as rare as they were, they were also dangerous.
Calling it a chamber didn’t convey the magnitude of the place. ...
