Charnel Cow

Calvert Thome—a successful rancher until his prize cows began to mysteriously disappear—approached the field where his herd grazed. While he braced himself for more bad news, he did not expect the sight that greeted him. Next to the mutilated carcass of another cow, the smallest of his cows was digging a grave, using claws rather […]

Jolly Roger

Trick or treat? As a kobold treat, here’s a specially creepy monster for the holiday (that fits right in with the new Dark Deeds in Freeport patron project).

It lurches forward on six strong, stubby legs, as the mess of tentacles jutting from its forelimbs creep toward you. Trench newts, also known as tharralisks, are hideous creatures warped by centuries of life in the ocean’s deepest trenches (hence their

Doppelrat

The rogue swaggered down the alley and examined his prize, a sapphire liberated from a wealthy widow. He stopped short on hearing a squeak. A pair of rats glared at him from further down the alley. He drew his dagger and strode towards the creatures, but his eyes went wide as the 2 rats became
