Author's note: This tale of Lovecraftian cosmic horror will make more sense if you start with chapter 1. Warning: this chapter is pretty dark and contains some non-consent elements. ***** Pekid moonlight cast a sickly pall over Miskatonic University and Abigail shut it out with the thick curtains of her dorm room. Her roommate Maria was staying with her bo...
There are a lot of things in this universe which are simply unexplained. Fortunately, what I am doesn't have to be one of them. You see, I am the First of my Kind. Throughout the ages, we've been called many things. Those who walk in darkness. Blood drinkers. Vampires. Night walkers. Many think of us as revenants, coming back from the dead to drink the blood...
The next few days Chris dragged me out with her in the evenings to "cheer me up." One day we went bowling.

Adam Shay, the six-foot-two, 230-pound black man who once played college football had become one of the undead not too long ago. He had become a vampire, and not just any ordinary vampire. He was the Mas...
Halamir walked into the Emperor's war room with some apprehension. He had been summoned before on many occasions but this time was different. As the Emperor's most decorated assassin, he was used to seing generals, rangers, and other military personnel specific to the mission at hand. This time, however, there was an old bearded man in strange foreign robes...
Many thanks to my editor, Auorine. ***** The City occupied the high pass which was the only viable way through mountains that extended beyond knowledge to the north and south. The worlds of east and west met there and the locals prospered in the trade. It had a native name but was almost universally known as World's Gate in trade pidgin. Currently, the inh...
This was inspired by the Path of Evil Module for NWN2—little besides character names and abilities are used. The story thus far: Thurlith and party dealt with the drow and have the devils.
