Perhaps all who venture to the Bleak Vale on the eve of battle are touched by the spirit of the place: Whether the horrors that haunt them are their own or someone else's depends on what happens within the valley.
I would expect that a warrior that drew forth one of the rusted blades of the dead would find the dead eager to refight their final battle, but with new foes in a new body... Those of weak will might find their memories muddled and confused, as the spectre's final thoughts touch their mind. If they are overcome, they might find themselves championing a cause long-dead, remembering only that "the enemy" must be fought to the bitter end... Go to Comment
The Fane of Carnage is not the sort of place where one finds the help needed to ensure survival, but rather the power to unleash Hell upon one's foes. While the blood staining its altar seems fresh, it might actually date back centuries or even millennia. Go to Comment
I was thinking of the Chinese use of 10,000 to represent "unlimited" or "infinite". It reads better than "The Field of Too Many Skulls to Count". Go to Comment
Very nice. It's always interesting to see that even now after the invention of aircraft and wheeled vehicles, that there are some portions of land that still retain strategic significance in a given area, and this seems like one of them. I'd also suggest something akin to hyenas and other daring predators attracted to movement in the valley. Anyway, excellent submission. Go to Comment
Ah, 'tis the fate, the gobbo will ever be funnier than the orc!
Yay for goblins, the most basic of adventurer food, for without them, we'd rarely make it to level 2 :D Go to Comment
