I am releasing the #MÖRKBORG mini-setting I have been working on for so long, it is on Itch.io, if you want to go take a look at it. It is called Faulort, and aims on populating a foggy valley of the Dying lands with ghouls, vampires and other dark stuff :

Finally done

I'm officially biting the bullet and releasing Faulort, after what became about two years of on-and-off work. No more nitpicking, no more reworking stuff, it is over. I hope you'll like what you find....

More catching up to #morktober, up to day six : husk

Page displaying 3 entries into morktober

04. Husk : Shrieking corpses
Drawing of an emaciated, whitened corpse, mouth wide open, with jagged lines coming out of their mouth
Reanimated undead, comfortable in their own solitude, they will suddenly erupt in blood-curling yells and shrieks when disturbed.

HP 4 Armor none Morale -
Dried hands : 1d2 damages
Howl : 1d4 damages to all living

05. Stain : Famished stain
Drawing of a dark shape, shadow like, flowing down stonework stairs, like a liquid would
Silently slithering in the dark, waiting for something to step on their invisible shape so they can slowly digest it.
HP 2 Armor none Morale 6
Acid goo : 1d6 damages

06. Husk : Corpse husk
Drawing of the shape of a person, but empty, as if only the skin was left, cracked opened down to the navel, missing a head
Dried, empty, almost just the paper-like shape of a person ; it's as if something crawled out of it like it was a cocoon or a molded shell, left behind after it was no longer needed, but what ?

They are left standing around, sometimes in clusters of 2d6, motionless, their parched skin almost undulating when a draft is passing among them.

Ogre knight and his squire, looking for buried relics in the burnt wastes.

A giant knight figure, covered in red robes and wearing a golden-accented armor, kneeling in the dirt as he points forward ; He directs his much smaller squire, carrying a heavy bag and a giant sword. The background is dire and desertic, save for a few houses on the horizon.

Hobgoblin bandit

A hobgoblin (tall, hairy and lanky humanoid with animalistic features) standing barefoot in the dirt, next to some boulders. In his right hand, a thin dagger, in the right, and resting over his shoulder, a two handed axe with a single massive head. He is wearing a horned helmet, and a brigandine styled top, with shoulder pads.

Which way now ?

A woman standing in a stone doorway, looking to her right, she is wearing a long coat, a messenger bag, whose strap she is holding against her with her hand, and a fez. Her hair is let loose behind her. On the collar of her coat is pinned a medallion, and in her right hand she is holding a flail. The shadows are very stark. Behind her are arched stone ceilings

Corpses

Two emaciated characters, wearing black robes, standing against a red background with a white outline. Their skin is dead pale, and their eye sockets are empty black holes. One of them is holding a sword, pointing down, at the hilt? They are almost facing each other, but turning towards the viewer.

The skulls, a violent #cyberpunk gang. Done on krita

Two characters standing against a dark red background and a sign reading "Skulls". They are both wearing long dark coats, with high collars, and wearing skull masks. The one on the left is turned slightly away, holding a rifle with a scope against their chest, the strap going over his shoulder. The one on the right has their arms crossed and is looking directly towards the viewer. A chain goes across ther hips and holds a sword against their side. They are both in stark black and white, with red accents.
