the crush
The ground bucked again beneath them—an angry, deep tremor that rolled through the tunnel like a tide of fury. The Mirewyrm hadn’t fled. It was watching, feeling, waiting. Another slam shook the tunnel, sending dust and rocks tumbling from above now that Sah was no longer holding it all together. Stone struck shoulders and backs with bruising force, a dozen small, sharp punishments for still standing. Even prepared, even armoured, it hurt.
The Webvex returned.
It phased in with a ripple like tearing silk, clinging to the ceiling like a desecrated starfish, limbs spread across the stone as it prepared another volley. Its many eyes blinked in tandem—one last attempt, butHadama was ready.
Four gravity lances fired from his trident, black as space and heavy as judgment. They struck home with a thunderous crack, crushing through carapace and leg, snapping the creature’s form into a jagged lurch. It screeched—a soundless mental pressure that flickered and died as Noah ’s spirit stag leapt forth in a flare of golden light.
Its antlers caught the spider in the midsection and burned. Fire spread like a cleansing wound across the creature’s translucent flesh, igniting the void within. The Webvex spasmed once—twice—and then folded inward, its limbs curling like burnt paper as it slumped and clung to the ceiling, twitching in its death.
The shimmer that followed was its last.
A final, distorted ripple of unreality before it collapsed, lifeless, to the ground. Cracked, smouldering, and dead.
Only the Mirewyrm remained now.
Still unseen.
Still shaking the earth.
Still waiting.

REMEMBER: KQs are rewarding but dangerous. They may cause death and/or permanent changes to your characters.
Mirewyrm (Rare): The Mirewyrm is a colossal void entity, vaguely serpentine and dragonlike, that tunnels through stone as though the rock were liquid. Its body is plated in black, semi-metallic scales that shimmer with deep-space reflections, constantly shifting and rearranging like something unfinished. It has no eyes, and its mouth opens sideways in a jagged, spiral maw—a gateway rather than a mouth, lined not with teeth, but with coiling tendrils of voidlight and gravity.
Webvex (Rare): A massive, void-corrupted spider that stalks The Crush, the Webvex is an ethereal predator capable of phasing in and out of reality. Its translucent, oil-slick body pulses with alien constellations, and its many limbs jitter with unnatural, twitching grace. Where a face should be is a single, spiralling maw that consumes sound, memory, and reason. It spins crystalline void-webs that cling to magic, thought, and flesh alike.
