Hell March

by Tower Curator — “They’ve noticed us.” The alert from Harvey sent a jolt of tension through the shoulders of everyone inside the command room. Arkk quickly moved over, peering over the flopkin’s shoulder. Although that misty fog still covered Woodly Rhyme, blocking most of the burg from view, a deluge of activity flooded out in the visible surroundings. Evestani forces wheeled out large ballistae and catapults, preparing them behind tall palisades that dozens of workers carried out and assembled ahead of the…

Concurrent Operations

by Tower Curator — Agnete stood in front of the crystalline archway. It was the same portal she had originally come through when entering the Anvil. The Anvil was a truly massive world—Agnete didn’t have the slightest idea how fast their trains moved over the terrain, only that they moved far beyond even the swiftest horse. That made comparing it to Mystakeen or even the Greater Kingdom of Chernlock somewhat difficult. As it turned out, the portal wasn’t all that far from her workshop. Which, she supposed, made…

Forward March

by Tower Curator — The sun was beginning to dip below the horizon. Long shadows cast over the streets of Elmshadow, stretched out from the mass of freshly built buildings into eerie shapes. The twin mountains on the north and south sides of the burg made even longer shadows that covered huge sections of the valley. Even they looked curled and unpleasant. Thorne shuddered. Elmshadow was a creepy place. He thought that ever since he first arrived with the rest of Lord Bonsworn’s regiment. When Lord Bonsworn’s chief…

Welcome Home

by Tower Curator — “The things I was working on over there… You should have seen them.” “I did see some of them,” Arkk said. “The lesser servant is over there even now. So far, nobody has come by your workshop to check on you.” “Not surprising. I wasn’t… captive. At least, I don’t think I was. It’s just that only I and the leader of that place have the capability to create beings like Who. They figured now was a great time to increase production.” Arkk closed his eyes, drawing a deep breath…

Opening Act

by Tower Curator — They didn’t have long. Three people and a comatose dragonoid made noise, left tracks, and otherwise made it extremely easy for others to find them. They couldn’t move with any real haste. There was no easy way of finding their allies. They were, in short, in a deep pit of shit. Leda followed along, trailing just behind the human and the beastman. She kept glancing around, expecting a platoon of enemy soldiers to pop out from behind the trees. At the same time, she tried to rack her mind for any…

Saved

by Tower Curator — “Priscilla?” Leda whispered, eyes darting around with fear and worry. She had finally found the dragonoid. It hadn’t been difficult. Priscilla plowed through the trunk of a tree, sending it toppling to the ground, and then left a massive gouge through the dirt for a good hundred paces, crashing against another few trees in the process. All Leda had to do was follow the destruction. The hardest part had been getting out of the harness in the tree. One of Leda’s wings was broken. She hadn’t…

A Missing Leader

by Tower Curator — “He isn’t responding.” “Did something happen?” “The dark elves are still out.” “They’re fine… I think,” Hale said, leaning over the two unconscious elves. Neither were injured in any way that she could think to check. Because of some of Zullie’s experiments, their bodies weren’t exactly usual. Having sat in for some experiments, including Project Liminal, Hale was somewhat well-versed in abnormal magical effects. Because of that, she could see only one thing that might be…

Emergency Rescue Operation

by Tower Curator — “Hey? You still alive?” Consciousness returned to Joanne like a mallet to the back of the head. She let out a hiss, reaching back as she lifted her head from the dirt floor. Her fingers felt an unpleasant wetness. Blood, most assuredly. Strangely enough, she didn’t feel any real wound. There was no stinging sensation that she recognized as cuts in her skin. Or else the stinging was simply drowned out by the sheer ache that coursed through the entire rest of her body. “You were banged up.…

Adventures of a Lesser ServantA Lesser Servant’s Adventures Through the Anvil

by Tower Curator — Noise and machines, sparks and fire, pistons and gears. The Anvil of All Worlds was, as always, in motion. It was a world of sound. A world of lights. A world of endless work. It never stopped. There was a sun in this world—though the thick layer of smog completely obscured the sky, the world itself still brightened in the morning and darkened in the evenings. Yet the machines never stopped. Even lesser servants paused their work and enveloped themselves in a starlight cocoon for brief minutes of rest…

Enlightenment

by Tower Curator — Arkk lightly tapped the tips of his fingers against the crystal ball, readjusting its perspective. From certain angles, at certain times of day when the light hit just right, he could almost see through the haze of mist that covered the Evestani army. It wasn’t clear. The effect worked only for a few minutes before the sun’s position changed too much. But it gave him a glimpse into the army’s actions. Usually, one of the scrying teams was in charge of the brief period of observation. They would…
