How many times have you hacked down a zombie without thinking about it? Ever wondered who the shadowy force is behind that dungeon? Spared a thought for the poor denizens who are sat around in those chilly Crypts waiting for the next victim? No? Perhaps it's time to see the story from the other side...
Dreth, an immortal semi-dead dungeion guardian is bored. Hacking apart adventurers in the name of evil is all well and good, but after several centuries it has become routine.
It's time to go out and look around!
Humor, horror, fantasy all in one!
Excerpt
The seer nodded and produced a pack of cards from somewhere. She placed them on the table face down, spreading them out. “Turn one over.”
M did so.
“Death!” exclaimed the seer dramatically.
“No it isn’t.”
“It isn’t? Are you sure?”
“I’m sure. It’s some kind of…” M leaned over and tried to make out the picture. “Some kind of devil I think.”
“A devil? Are you certain it isn’t death?”
“Positive.”
”But it’s always death!”
“Nope, sorry.”
The seer scowled and bent over the cards, fiddling with her blindfold as she did so.
“Hey!” exclaimed M. “Are you peeking? You’re not blind!”
“What? Of course I am. Blind as a bat. Totally without vision. Sightless oh yes.”
“No you’re not! I can see you peeking!”
“Oh fiddlesticks.” The seer pulled at her covering, revealing a perfectly good pair of eyes beneath. “Sorry about that. It’s just if the seer isn’t old, then apparently they must be blind. It’s an image thing you know?”
