Vraxious- Kings Road
Torvald had urged Vrax down the road immediately upon reaching the meeting place overlooking the city from the hill. Vrax was concerned but trusted Torvald's judgment. He was half jogging ahead of him, pushing the armored box at an unhealthy speed. It hissed and growled at every bump, at this point having stopped mimicry about fifty potholes ago.
Torvald finally...

Vrax and Torvald had spent a few hours carousing with Torvald's parents before heading out from the arena and back to the Adventurers Guild. Stereos had bid them farewell and promised to seek them out for a few quests or another fight together once he was done with his research in town. They were still hoping to find a job on the copper board that would let them skip ...

Ochal stumbled for a moment, reeling from whatever the stigmata garden drain had done to him inside his armor. Vrax couldn’t see the damage, but he recovered quickly, heaving a glass-like blue-black barrier wall between him and the adapted plants just as tendrils and a dozen retrievers struck out. The acidic lurkers cracked against the barrier, acid spilling over th...

Vrax was quickly fashioning a symbol of the cycle for Stereos to wear during their upcoming fight. They were sitting in a small prep room set beside the arena floor itself and could see the battle raging just past the observation window. A grand melee between a full party of adventurers and a squad of knights spells and arrows streaking back and forth as the first ran...

Vrax peered around the Dragons Maw arena walls; the side he and Torvald were on wrapped fully around the adventurers entrance side with clear glass. Across the way, the nobles had what must have been one-way glass obscuring them. Immediately away from the arena windows and to his left was a small, bustling, two-sided desk with a line of adventurers talking to two cler...

Vrax ignored Torvalds concerned voice, his eyes locked with the malevolent entity shifting almost imperceptibly within the cage. A savagely fanged maw opened wide with a yawn, revealing an inner mouth and a third even deeper beneath in the beast's throat, rows of triangular serrated teeth lining each. A pair of high-set, slitted eyes almost hid within the angular blac...

Vrax and Torvald had spent a well-earned night of rest at the inn, Torvald sleeping like a giant’s baby, snores tormenting everyone in the building as they rattled through the walls. Vrax had fitfully slept in a corner with his cloak and a spare blanket, jealously eyeing Torvald’s bed for most of the night. With the rising sun, they had made their way back to the ...

Vrax and Torvald wearily stuffed themselves back into their inn room. Torvald sat down with a happy sigh, his bed creaking under his weight. Vrax just sighed at his broken, melted bed and sat down at the small chair in front of the shared table. First things first, I need to change [Adapt Life] so that my rapidly growing army of problems doesn’t accidentall...

Arthur had been unceremoniously paired off with some other initiates, forming an impromptu squad. The towering twins Salamin and Solomin, their imposing statures and golden locks matched by their tower shields and generously donated familial armor. Arthur still wore the simple initiate's breastplate and mail hauberk, although he had been gifted a very unus...

The flickering speckles of green luminescence drifted aimlessly above and around Vrax for just a moment longer. Creating an eerie contrast to the slavering horde rushing towards him. Then, just as the goblins entered the light cast by the acidic lurkers, the dandelion seeds dove lazily at first and then with increasing intensity as their newfound wings ...

Vrax and Torvald had spent the next hour creeping farther into the dungeon, absolutely ruining the few small packs of goblins they had stumbled on. One pack died unceremoniously to just the Acidic Lurkers when Vrax dropped into the middle of them and summoned both directly next to four goblins. They were wrapped up and melted before they could even figu...

After a long and arduous journey, the procession of paladin initiates finally made it to the shabby little town sitting dangerously close to the maw of the malevolent entity known as the Whispering Grotto. From what Arthur had been told, they would form into squads of five initiates with one paladin each to watch over them until they had all reached level te...

Vrax slid to the entrance of the rock formation while the jar was still making its lazy descent towards the urinating goblin. The daisy jar shattered against the ground just past the feet of the goblin, stopping the low chatter of the monsters milling about. All nine goblins looked up in alarmed surprise, especially the one in a rather compromising posi...

Vrax stood beneath a sign stretching over the road in cheerful yellow lettering. It read, “Welcome to The Whispering Grotto.” He looked around, shading his eyes from the midday sun. The stark blue stone staircase leading down into the dungeon sat before them, manned by a pair of well-armed adventurers, fresh green blood staining their tunics from...

Vrax and Torvold had grabbed lunch in the guild tavern; it was horribly overpriced, but both of them were too busy enjoying the new sights and sounds and trying to eavesdrop. After that, they had headed straight out of the city to make sure they reached the tiny hamlet that sat practically on the dungeon's entrance before sunset. The hamlet had a re...

The foyer Loomed in front of Vrax like a scene from his favorite tales as a child. Storied wooden floors layered with grime and blood over the decades that no matter how much one scrubbed, stains remained. A barely separate tavern filled with heavily armored men, women, and fantastical summons lurked on the left side of the lobby. A sky eel sinuousl...

Vrax smiled wickedly into the campfire. He held the daisy between his hands, the fire dancing off his eyes, the perfect likeness to many a mad mage as he focused on his creation. Tovald slumbered loudly next to him, unaware of the abomination Vrax had wrought during his watch.
The daisy, being as basic and weak a creature as he had tried to adapt so far, took an...

Vrax let the steaming bathwater lull him into relaxation; he even sprinkled a bit of herbs into the water, filling the room with the scent of spiced fruit. A welcome and stark contrast from whatever horrors were leaking from Torvald's general direction. By the gods, that man needs a bath worse than I did. If he doesn’t take one before w...

Vrax and Torvald had made good time the first day trekking across the well-worn, pitted road. Neither he nor Torvald had the spare funds to buy or care for a horse, a rather extravagant expense for most people. Hopefully further down the line in their adventurer careers, but for now, by foot it was. By nightfall they had passed a few other small groups traveling on fo...

Vrax’s eyelids fluttered in confusion; something was deeply wrong. He felt like he had been run over by a herd of Mynochs. He shifted slightly; it was blindingly bright, and his body was halfway in something uncomfortable that was digging into the side of his face. He kept still and tried to gauge his surroundings. The snarl of some massive beast could be heard mere ...

Vrax made it halfway out his door before he was once again intercepted by his father. He leaned on Vrax’s shoulder for support as he walked down the hallway with his boy. William had deep, weathered lines across his skin, always drawn back in a smile. Like he had just thought of the best joke. Vrax had tried many times to pry more details from him on what he did befo...

Vrax had camped for the night in the cozy tower overlooking the fort. Luckily Feldwin was nowhere to be seen, so he had laid claim to the extravagant downy bed. He also left a little surprise for Feldwin when he came back. Vrax's mana had been completely topped off when he made camp. Turns out adapting regular old flowers wasn’t terribly mana intensive.

Vrax looked at the hole in his palm with a pained cringe. He trudged away from the river in the rough direction of town, making sure to skirt the Crystalline Forest. His smite had staunched the bleeding mostly, but it still hurt like hell. He downed a good gulp of a potion and poured a bit on the wound in his hand and the small hole in his side. The armor was noti...

He looked over the spear he had extracted from the corpse of the resplendent golden warrior. It was so simple and yet not at the same time. A mostly straight wooden branch there wasn’t even a metal spear tip; it simply grew to a spiraling point. And the way it almost seemed to breathe with the faint lines of crackling green energy fading to nothingness and then ...

Vrax’s perspective once again settled into a god’s-eye view of the cloaked man. He wondered what the skill would be this time. The man knelt in a forest glade teeming with life; his hand gently stroked some kind of wolf-like being that towered next to him. It rounded on him, violently, apparently deciding to tear his throat out. He leapt back, and tentacles...
