Chapter 110: Quality of life

Calvin stepped out of the Unqua on the other side of The Crack, stretching his back as he was able to stand up. Riding triple was cramped.

“So the first thing we need to address is weapons and armor.” Calvin said, rolling his neck. “Can’t have quality of life without preserving it first. Especially if we’re gonna walk everyone out of here without incident.”

“And how do you propose we go about arming everyone?” Rufe asked, glancing around. “There isn’t exactly a lo...

Chapter 109: Welcome Party

“Surprise!” Rufe said, waggling his fingers in front of their tent, along with Sal, Loren, and a handful of others. There were very few women there, and those that were, well, ‘tough’ was a pretty good start toward describing them, but didn’t quite cover it.

Calvin dropped into a fighting stance, arms raised. Kala just blinked.

“Sorry to startle you - Happy one week anniversary!” Rufe made a little toot on a bone whistle. “Drinks!”

Rufe produced ston...

Chapter 108: Escape Plans

In the beginning, the Ravagers were volunteers, patriots who understood the value of adversity. Over time though, the Treatment was considered more of a punishment than a necessary evil, and the core attitude of the Ravagers began to shift. Criminals and political prisoners were used by the Harbingers, rather than those of noble spirit.

- That was a mistake.

“I’m going to enjoy their clumsy fumbling.” Nadia said, rubbing her hands together eagerly, sincerely hoping for some kind of awful, horrific accident. It was unlikely, given how simple humping was. It would take a couple of total morons to mess it up, but Nadia knew a pair, and she was sure they’d give it their damndest.

Suddenly the view of the Gadveran princess walking down the hall went black.

“What the fuck!”

“Which is more important?” Elliot’s voice cam...

Chapter 107: Risk Free*

Most of its life had been spent without a body.

A shifting amorphous mass drifting through the ocean of it’s brethren.

It made itself Predator to avoid becoming Prey. It made itself Prey to fool other Prey. So much of its own thought processes were consumed with what it was, and how that could benefit it, it left little time for other thoughts.

One moment, shifting, reacting, it had followed a prey into this…matterspace. A place where things had distance fr...

Chapter 106: Muscle Wizard

“I hate this.” Maya muttered beside Baroke, poking the meager fire with a stick. They had to keep it small on account of the entire nation searching for them.

“I know, but it’s not gonna be much longer.” Baroke said, patting her back. “Either we’ll get away soon or we’ll be dead soon.” He gave her a grin and a thumbs-up before putting his freezing hand back in front of the fire. The other one was occupied with stopping the bleeding in his stomach.

“How can you be ...

monster-based Spell suggestions

Abyssal Alchemy is going to need some spells, and I've only got eh...2 or 3 in mind. let me give you an example to establish a theme:

The refraction spinner creates spatial blades using its hands.

So a force blade spell uses a shrunken, perfectly preserved (I.E. Still Living) hand from the monster, the caster replicates it at full size, along with a bit of Refraction vitriol through the thing's Bent Veins to stimulate it.

poof, out pops a dimension blade....

Abyssal Alchemy Suggestions

This time let's get ahead of the curve by taking ideas before i desperately need them


Abyssal Alchemy is a form of alchemy that's geared specifically toward extracting magical juices out of monsters and combining them into spell-like effects. I thought about adding a bonus to regular alchemy/chemistry but decided that would be too op without spending an Ability on it. so here's the first couple abilities off the top of my head:


Abilities:

Chemistry: Ab...

Chapter 105: Abyssal Alchemy

“Then you got the refraction spinner,” Rufe said, ticking off another one of his fingers.

“Looks like a floating ball of arms weaving glass between them. Clear glass that diffracts the light. ‘course, the glass isn’t actually there, it’s just the squirrely bastard fucking with reality. Careful not to get too close, those diffractions will tear you to shreds. It doesn’t care about how tough you are, the thing simply makes it a fact that your limbs are sepa...

Monsters from the siphon

I’m going to spend a couple chapters with the focus shifted and when I come back next week, I need some more unique, bone-chilling, nightmare fuel monsters for The Filter.

As always, monsters that don’t find a home immediately may still get their day in the sun when I dig through th...
