Day 14 of #MÖRKTOBER is Anchor! Dangerous and robust! A demonic, deep sea dweller scrambles up boat sides and drags sailors down to drown in the dreaded depths! A biting cold keeps it tough while the luminescent eyes haunt the night, gleaming just above the blackest of waves.

Day 13 of #MÖRKTOBER is Web! A silent spinner skitters atop the long abandoned mill. Damage and death is sure to follow when you are trapped by massive fibers, seemingly stronger than iron! Victims are mangled and mummified quickly with the revolting movements of too many legs.

Day 12 of #MÖRKTOBER is Binding! Morbid runes are scrawled violently on the brute! The wretched creature is doomed to guard-dog for the remainder of his days at the center of the catacombs. A rattling chain and rusted collar are his only possessions amongst the awful darkness.

Day 11 of #MÖRKTOBER is Scales! A terrible tool sways in the balance! How much for the heart of a betrayer? It all goes by weight, ten silver per pound and double if it still beats angrily in the plate. Those who equip such a tool can add extra value with confident appraisal!

Day 10 of #MÖRKTOBER is Beetle! A Sturdy and twitching pendant prevents damage! After every defense, a leg is lost! But those who beetle charm too frivolously may have to answer to the horrible creature that procures these strange pendants and be used as jewelry themselves!

Day 9 of #MÖRKTOBER is Thorn! The terrible twig of those twisted tellers from the mountain! A simple way to boost your own arcane as long as you can handle the grim yellow gaze that remains even when your eyes are closed! Sleep may be tough but the thorns always find their mark!

Day 8 of #MÖRKTOBER is Wizard! A sinister staff is held high by a boar-skulled sorcerer! O' to be unraveled by the most brutal of fireballs, having your bones blasted and scattered for eons. Now, await the collapse of the very stars you hapless cadaver, your mind still lives on!

Day 7 of #MÖRKTOBER is Shard! The vicious surprise of violence explodes in a shattered glass across the throat! Best to stay improvisational when your weapons have been stolen and you're cornered in a junk filled alleyway. A broken bottle could give you just enough of an edge!

Day 6 of #MÖRKTOBER is Husk! Terrible omens indeed when long dead corpses bloat and explode! What awfulness emerged from these smoldering cadavers? Wisps of smoke seem to spell out your doom with fragile letters in the air. You've inhaled the vapor already so it may be too late.

Day 5 of #MÖRKTOBER is Stain! Enough guts have been spilled and soiled your pathetic rags that offered no protection at all! Black stains signal a trip to the void if there's any room left after this brutal melee. It's only a small death after all, perhaps your luck will hold!

The Namebinder!
This ghastly gladiator dons the soul sapping Spirit Socks and a Shawl of Sobriquet! If he scrawls out your name and on his robes you cannot harm him! A quick title writ on the blade and it will lead you to that person wherever they are and deal extra damage!

Day 4 of #MÖRKTOBER is Howl! A terrible and common omen that echoes through the disgusting night skies! You can almost make out your own name on the wind as the emaciated wolf looks down on you with a grin so foul that your very flesh begins to ache.

Day 3 of #MÖRKTOBER is Daggers! Twin tools take out the eyes with a putrid precision! Always a dangerous combination when these evil edges are around. Thrown or thrusted, the results are similar; a satisfying "Shluck" and a slick sluice of sanguine slime. Beware the blades!

Casey Yano is great! Always been a big fan.

jouste @jouste.bsky.social · 12d

The Bloodbathogen!
This terrifying triple threat has been stapled together to be three times as scary! It doesn't matter what bites you, you'll be sure to turn into something awful or maybe even a combination of these bonded brothers of bedlam! Be it bark, blood or brains!

Day 2 of #MÖRKTOBER is Maw! Tough and dangerous, this guardian of the Offal River rips apart boats and passengers alike when he emerges from the rot. The meanest mouth, the gruesome grinner. A dreaded hunger that inhabits every hair, fold of flesh, and fearsome fang. Be sure to spend his favor fast!

Day 1 of #MÖRKTOBER this year is Frog! A horrible hop in the swamps hands you some light danger and a bit of the arcane! Frogs make their way into ponds and potions alike! Be sure not to obliterate everything so you can use its skin and bones for a foul formula of slimeskin!

The Confrogration!
Don't touch! This hopping horror from the pit has been picked up by a hapless person who's doomed to be demonically enslaved to this satanic toad! A slow and gruesome transformation is in store for any who are foolish enough to fetch this fiery frogfiend.
