the crush
The jerky landed on the edge of the shattered tunnel with a pitiful pat pat pat, scattering in uneven chunks along the fractured stone. The silence that followed was heavy—almost mocking.
There was no answer. No hiss, no breath, no glint of voidlight eyes from the dark.
Then the island screamed.
The Mirewyrm slammed itself against the stone once more—not the floor this time, but the walls, directly to the side of where the group stood. The impact cracked the corridor like an egg. Shattered voidrock groaned as new fractures shot upward into the ceiling. For one harrowing breath, everything held—and then it fell.
Chunks of stone rained down again in brutal succession. Dust exploded around them. Shoulders were clipped, ribs bruised, armour dented. The tunnel roared as it fought to become a tomb.
Only one remained untouched: Jack, already stepping back toward the exit, threw up a sharp gust of air just before the collapse. The magic hissed like a rising wave and deflected the falling debris above him, letting the captain duck low and pivot with practiced grace. Stone slammed shut behind him with a final crack, sealing the narrow gap he’d just vacated.
And just like that—he was gone.
Retreating toward the Descent. Toward the Ark. Toward open air and safety.
The others remained in the ruin and dust, coughing, battered, the Mirewyrm’s fury now impossible to ignore given that they were now barricaded in.

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.
