Deciding to take your chances, you both take a fearless leap into the rift. Your vision shifts and blurs around you. Nightmarish wailing pierces your ears. You feel your extremities stretching out, as if the universe is trying to tear you apart.

And then it stops. You open your eyes to see your feet are on solid ground, but around you whirls strange elemental energies—fire mixing with ice in torrential power. You catch your breath and glance back, relieved to see a void of darkness similar to the one that brought you to this place.

The relief is short-lived, however, as a booming voice fills the crackling air. “Who are you to slay my servants and invade my realm? This affront will not go unpunished!” Before you the energies in the air begin to form vague demonic shapes. To go deeper into this unearthly place, you must fight your way through.


As the final demon in sight screams and dissipates into the wind, you fall to your knees, thankful that the assault has stopped.

“Very interesting.” The voice appears deep inside your head, clawing at your brain with its words. “You interlopers are unexpectedly powerful. I could certainly use your expertise to find something in your own plane.”

The red rock below you rumbles and cracks, and a fiery fissure opens at your feet. “I open my realm to you. Come, let me speak to you face-to-face.”

Having already made one leap of faith this day, you decide there’s no harm in making another. The heat grows more intense as you descend, and scalding air billows up from below, slowing your fall. You land quite safely in what appears to be an underground temple. Before you stands a monstrous creature, horned and terrifying, holding a trident and standing on four hooved legs.

The voice still resonates from inside your head. “Brave and foolish. You should serve me well. There is an artifact of great power located in a forgotten temple along the Serpent’s Kiss River. You can retrieve it for me, or you can die here and now.”
