Night Demons
So you’re here to fight the hakaa huh? What in the gods’ many names spurred you to do that?
…
Yeah well you’ll find no riches here. Dwarves are too stingy to carry gold unless they’re carrying it off the bodies of their victims. And if we capture any we have to return it to the families.
…
Whats that? No you fool we dont attack their stronghold. Have you ever read anything?
…
Whats that you cant read? Oh well you’ll fit in fine here and we definitely have a spot for you. Sit down have a pint and let’s talk awhile.
…
No we haven’t attacked the stronghold since the very first campaigns on the black mountains. It was a death run.
Pits, 10 feet accross and 40 feet deep, swalloed entire battalions. We still don’t know how they do that. We think they dig them from below and pull the supports. It’s more sophisticated engineering than we enountered any where.
…
I wish that was the end of it. But I’d take death pits over the firery hells their war engines create. The pitch they use is unreal its not thick like ours its more like soup. Soup that clings to every part of you while burning explosively. Thankfully we are well out of range of those demonic monstrosities.
…
No for us it’s mostly arrows tipped with some kind of poison that drives you mad. I’d be fine if we could see the fucking bastards. With their beady black cave-eyes. They always come at night a few days before the new moon. They can see plain as day. Its a fucking nightmare. That’s why we call em night demons.
…
Haha you cant expect mercy from these beasts. Haven’t you heared about their king? Murdered four generations of a family he served. Women children elderly all in the name of freedom.
…
No it wasnt a school. Fuck do you know anything? He set the house on fire while everyone slept. Killed his own kin too apparently, they all burned alive. The fire was so hot there was no trace of anything left except the children’s bodies. The family threw some of them off the roof to escape the flames. No one survived.
How’d he do it? What rise to power?
…
Fuck me no one knows. People say it’s his ring but that makes no sense. I think he found a djinn. How else could he live this long and have this much power?
