A gigantic undead Gate Troll, twenty-five feet tall, with beady little sunken-in eyes and a small head compared to its body, climbs through the portal to Tarus II. Its presence temporarily stymies the flow of Mephisto’s deathless minions, since they can’t get past its bulky frame. As it exits the portal and emerges on Tarus…
The chill of the night-time wind sweeps across Tarus II’s surface. Strange, monstrous beasts hover in the sky, their pill-shaped bodies floating through the air without wings. These creatures, beasts which evolved on Tarus II, travel in packs, allowing vast numbers of sky-bound bugs to float into their open mouths. Known as cloud-beasts, they offer…
After petting each of the Kessu and allaying their fears, José begins walking down the ramp toward his two newest Kraktol allies, both of whom send waves of fear spiking within the hearts of Elder Nyoor and his family. "Oh, great Precursor…" Nyoor whimpers. "Must we face these hideous, scaled fiends? Look at their giant…
José stands at the bottom of one of the Dragon Breath’s many interceptors, near its hangar-port. The vessel is a small, two-person craft with limited space aboard. Its shape resembles an angular bullet, with wings that stick out a few feet from its side horizontally before angling upward in a ‘V’ shape. Strewn around the…
Tactical Officer Soren, a yellow-scaled Kraktol, watches silently as Commander Orgon battles against Admiral José Rodriguez in a fight to the death. The two combatants unleash a frenzy of vicious stabs, jabs, and grabs, attempting to beat each other unconscious or throw their opponent to the floor to finish them off. Orgon’s reptilian scales give…
Phoebe Hiro, now the Head Commander of the Anti-Demon Resistance, paces back and forth in front of six hand-picked leaders of the various warfronts. Her guests sit on rocks set in the middle of the field not far behind the warp-gate encampment’s western wall, while all of them face her and listen intently to what…
Admiral José Rodriguez, the last living Terran, slowly strides toward the bubble-shield separating the Bloodbearer’s hangar bay from the blackness of the Void outside. The oxygen-shield allows physical objects to pass through, while also maintaining the pressurization of the hangar, providing a window-like viewing experience into the galaxy beyond the Bloodbearer’s shadow. After arriving next…
Ose, the Emperor of Infiltration, strides through the wall of demons parked at the entrance to the Core. A pile of debris nearly 100-feet-high stacks up to the top of the doors, blocking entry for more than one demon at a time. Unlike a minute before, a disquieting silence pervades the air, caused by the…
Fleet Commander Orgon the Unkillable, leader of the Tarus II subjugation force, stands behind First Officer Megla as she browses countless records inside the Dragon Breath’s database. Her reptilian slit-eyes flick from right to left as she scrolls through innumerable walls of text, searching for the information her commander requested. "Still nothing?" Orgon asks, as…
General Chadwick, second in command for the Labyrinth Core resistance forces, stands beside the warpgate on Tarus II. He remains inside his exosuit, as do fifty-thousand other commandos, all of them perched atop nearby buildings, lined up behind dozens of battlements, and even taking cover inside multiple metal towers, with their sniper rifles trained on…
