06 The Sacrifice

Ah, settle in close, my friends, and let me tell you a tale that’ll have you gripping your mugs and holding your breath. For this one’s about courage, darkness, and a sacrifice that even the strongest ale can’t wash from memory.

So, our band of heroes, weary yet resolute, set off from the ancient tree, their path leading to a cave said to house the source of the plague. The forest around them, already twisted by the shadows, seemed to swallow the light whole. The air grew thick and heavy, each step they took was like stepping deeper into a night that even the stars had forsaken. And just when the darkness seemed to be watching them, whoosh! An arrow flew out of the black and struck Amara square in the shoulder, leaving a mark as dark as the void itself.

05 Beneath the Canopy

Ah, gather ‘round, dear listeners, for the dawn broke with a soft, golden light that spilled across the outskirts of the elven village, casting long shadows on the ground where our weary band of heroes—Amara, Gotrek, Bart, Livia, Alindor, and Thaldir—stood bruised and battered from their recent trials. Their clothes were stained with dirt and blood, a testament to the battles they had fought in the shadowy depths of the Verdant Abyss.

04 A thorny tale

Ah, gather close, my brave-hearted friends, and let me tell you a tale that’ll make the hairs on your neck stand tall and your tankards raise a little higher. Picture this: Amara, Gotrek, Bart, Livia, Alindor, and Thaldir, a band of heroes not just bound by fate but by purpose, plunging headlong into the depths of the Verdant Abyss. A place where shadows move like whispers, and the very air feels like it’s holding its breath, watching—waiting.

Their quest was clear, like the North Star on a moonless night: find the Luna Tear Gel, that rare and mystical essence, the one hope of stopping the creeping darkness from devouring their land whole. And there it was, right at the heart of that ancient and twisted grove—a colossal plant, ancient as legends, with a maw like a Venus flytrap, sleeping under a shroud of mist. Thaldir, pale as a ghost from the shadow plague gnawing at his soul, pointed a trembling finger at it. “That beast holds the gel we need,” he croaked, his voice more shadow than man. “We either get it or doom the village to darkness.”
