Hey everyone! Apologies for being so quiet this week, I've been nose to the grindstone working on the final bits and pieces of our Kickstarter!
Our last big push for Crucible Magazine, which is now approaching its last 24 hours before the project ends! I'm sure by now you're are aware of what we're making, but if not then

Built from imp bones and imbued with arcane energy, shockwings blend effortlessly into the shadows. The necromancers who create these tiny undead often use them as spies, looking through their eyes. Despite their diminutive size, their arcane energy and fiendish bones make them resistant to magic and turn undead effects, making them difficult to defeat. They can fire a shock of lightning to stun their enemies when needing to flee.

The origins of the sentient plant lifeform known as nemreth are a mystery. A single host has enough spores to form armies under the control of a hivemind driven only by hunger and a desire to survive. Only one option exists when the reanimated corpses home to these spores are seen—run. Infected nemreth hosts vary in size and appearance and are typically humanoid corpses. While the nemreth can speak telepathically, it sees all living creatures as little more than meat and pot...

A qiphon is a small, evil demon that seeks to destroy everything that is good. Standing between 3 and 4 feet tall and weighing 40 to 50 pounds, their diminutive stature belies their destructive power. Their leathery skin ranges in hue from light violet to almost black purple, and their burning eyes are ever-present reminders of the chaotic eldritch energy within.
Qiphons have been known to raze entire villages to the ground, leaving smoldering ruins and death in the...

The fallen celestials known as watchers guard the souls of the damned. They typically stand between 7 and 9 feet tall with leathery wings protruding from their shoulders. Although most of their angelic features remain, the corruption from their fall has twisted them, forcing them to hide their faces behind masks out of shame. Most Watchers do not leave their duty stations, although they are sometimes used to track down errant souls who have escaped.
Ice Golem
Ice golems are constructed in several forms, magically carved directly from frozen glaciers and shaped into giants. As they move, their bodies shimmer in rainbow iridescence as their icy bodies reflect and refract sunlight. These golems are typically found deep in the ice-covered mountains where they guard the frozen fortresses of wintery wizards or their long-forgotten tombs.
