The Mightiest of Rat-Mages
"You must say-admit, Grey Seer Krikch, that it was my brilliant-cunning plan that won us the battle today. Without the perfectly timed attack of my warriors on the rear of the dwarf-thing line, your pathetic slaves would have been cut-slain to the last...
The Triumph

The Vet's Clinic
“Be a good boy Rosco, it’s almost our turn,” the man said, touching the huge pitbull that lay at his feet in the waiting room of the vet’s office. The dog-man let out a groan of boredom and stretched his mighty limbs. He was a fearsome-looking anthro,...

Vurrik's Bad Day
"All hail Vurrik, saviour of the clan!" the stormvermin screeched as he raised his bloodied halberd. "All hail Vurrik of Skryre, our new master!" a thousand shrill voices resounded in the cavernous hall. With a smile of undisguised glee, the...
Iktrikk's Experiment Part II
