The Strange Trial

Eight new Decay Lords sat on the beach, watching the waves lap across the sand. It was apparently night time at Savepoint, and most of the lights had been dimmed or turned off. The mood wasn’t completely calm though. All of them felt uneasy and didn’t know why. So Nyssi decided to ask. “Hey guys, … Read more

“When you said you were flying back on a ship, I… I didn’t think… uh…” For once, Vikalos was at a loss for words. The large, simple ship was parked on the side of Save Point, on the wide, flat area meant for any ship that didn’t fit in the main parking area. Emblazoned on … Read more

The Thantir One was pretty quiet. Mostly because there wasn’t much in it. When Arkay was last on board the Thantir One, he recalled it having three main corridors, the same way the Shimmering Blade did. Arkay was also aware that the ship was built with DIY Faction Section technologies, meaning parts of the ship … Read more

“That was… weirdly easy…” Tenuk didn’t answer. He was busy concentrating. He’d somehow managed to get the Thantir One out of the main hangar and off into the darkness, but he didn’t know what to do next. And it turned out, Nyssi, Retvik and Kayel had no idea either. To make matters worse, the ship … Read more

“Where are we-” “Shush.” “But-” “Shush.” “Nyssi-” “SHUSH.” Between the four Decaylings, they were all being very stealthy, but none of them knew where they were really going. Tenuk had done exactly what Thassalin had told him to do, by keeping his lungs clear, and this meant he’d woken up rather quickly. But he and … Read more

Overlord pulled out a small clock and inspected it closely. With a sigh, he then put the clock away, then turned to face the three intruders. Yet again, he had been interrupted during a meeting with his Upper Decay Lords. But not by the same few faces as last time this had happened. “Hello, Pentaflame. … Read more

“Why is everything not moving?” Kayel asked as he staggered to his feet. “Don’t talk. Listen.” Thassalin was already upright, but he had turned back into his old pink Thraki form and was standing, wings apart, between the Decaylings and the colossal shadowy being before them. The other Decaylings weren’t all quite upright yet, but … Read more

Retvik shook his aching hands as he sat down on the floating platform. Kayel quickly sat down as well, very much out of breath. It had taken about two hours to melt a tunnel through what everyone thought was a sphere but was in fact the stomach of a colossal gold and silver Voidborn. While … Read more

“Hm, we seem to have created a large wall…” All things considered, the eight Decaylings were doing fine. They were a little tired, but Nyssi making bets on who could kill the most Voidborns was keeping their spirits somewhat high. However, the corpses were starting to pile up, and it was getting harder and harder … Read more

“Stop the Source, or Perish.” The eight Decaylings all huddled round a small, holographic message that had appeared in the ground. On it was the basis of their trial. Right now, the lot of them were in a strange, metallic landscape. At first glance, the location seemed like a ruined temple, with broken pillars and … Read more

Most of the team were asleep currently. Ret and Kuta were lying in the corner in some sleeping bags, and, at some point, Tenuk and Talok joined them. Kayel was nearby, completely buried underneath a pile of cushions with his sleeping bag on top of him. Phovoula was pacing up and down, not really sure … Read more

“How did this even get here?” Arkay asked as he and Litvir followed Retvik. Retvik was carrying a familiar box. Well, familiar to Retvik and Litvir, but somewhat new for Arkay. “I believe that Deathven has some very powerful abilities. He seems to be able to teleport anyone anywhere. And that probably applies to cardboard … Read more

“I think they are trying to throw off my branches…” No one had really said anything for a while. While most of the Decaylings were asleep, both Nyssi and Thassalin had decided to join Ret and Kuta on the beach. The two Rethans had been somewhat camping outside, spending their time eating s’mores, and Nyssi … Read more

“Heya, how you doing?” Kayel was busy doing a bit of training on his own. The training mostly involved trying to hit targets with his elemental powers. Throwing balls of fire seemed pretty easy, but Kayel was currently experimenting with little ice daggers. “Oh, hey Psiksi!” Kayel turned to face who was talking to him. … Read more

Pentathax ships landing at Savepoint were pretty common. While they could normally fix up minor corruptions without too much hassle, anything that potentially needed more delicate surgery or was at risk of amputation was sent to the Thantir to be purified. Today though, a small 2-seater ship had just touched down, and the resident Psions … Read more
