Water Sorcerer’s Core
Of all the dungeons around Broken Tusk, Theo considered the ocean dungeon to be the most dangerous. It had waned in its difficulty, thanks to the watertight tower they had built around it, but the interior was no less offensive. Here are the reports from the scouting party. The interior was a nigh...

The concerning part about developing abilities related to predicting futures was the unfurling of fates. This was something Theo had expected based on things Khahar told him, but he hadn’t been eager to experience it. He stood by the entrance to the dungeon, tapping his foot as his mind adjusted. Before, it ...

If Theo could be taught the spell array for a standard spell, he could reverse-engineer it to construct a simple ward. Whatever skills he lacked in the spellcrafting department could be made up with his Shadow’s Spirit Core. And with something like Death magic, he wasn’t planning to mess around. Zarali ta...

Gentle waves lapped through the harbor and Broken Tusk. Several ships were currently docked, and several more were being worked on in the shipyard. Theo kicked his legs over the edge, going over his list of potions and combinations with magical effects. Although he had tried, he hadn’t figured ou...

Of course, the new infused potion would be a hit among the adventurers, and Tresk was eager to test it out. Before heading to bed, she tested the effects of the potion. Upon drinking it, she was teleported backward about 50 paces. Afterward, she seemed like a toddler who had been given a foot-long pixie stick. All ...

Theo tried not to laugh at himself as he headed for the market. Since trade had increased to absurd levels—thanks to the harbor—he could find almost everything he needed at the market. His first instinct had been to pull out his communication crystal, contacting Fenian to request the materials. In recen...

Theo felt oddly relieved that nobody had a solution for the negative dungeon by the time he went to bed.

Theo Spencer leaned against the wall of the Marshwolf Tavern, watching as the throngs of people walked past.
