Some stories have a message...kinda...

Additional Notes:

WARNING! (The real one)

This story is pretty offensive, it can get graphic and downright ruthless at times so if you don’t like that sort of humor, don’t read this story. But if you read it anyway don’t complain if you get offended, I did warn you and keep in mind it IS only a story.

(Or read it anyway, get offended and leave a hilariously triggered comment, that's fine too.)

Also, don't bother trying to "win" either. You can't. Just heed the moral lessons you may learn.

One musician's tale in a dying world

Additional Notes:

If you’ve read and liked Necromancer, then this might interest you as this story takes place during the same course of events of that story. (Not a prequel, not a sequel, but an equal!)

However, this story is definitely more “story” than “game”. In fact you shouldn’t even bother reading it if you’re intent on “winning”. You can’t. That being said, there is a “true ending” to this story and you’ll probably know if you get it. If you do get it, you can consider it a “win” if you like.

There are a few points in the story where there are links that lead to “Letters to Home”. While not necessary to understand the story, they do provide a little more insight into the protagonist’s thoughts and feelings on various situations.

The last hope for a dying empire

Additional notes:

This story can be very long assuming you're not dying. Years pass and your surroundings will most likely change. You may very well live a life time in the story.

As with any of my writings, the story comes before the game. However while there isn't a complex inventory and all of that, you can technically "win" by getting one of the epilogues.

There are 13 epilogues total.

There are also several points in the story where there are links that lead to more background information on various people, places, things and events. While not completely necessary to understanding the story, they do give you more insight into it.

Carnivals aren't all fun and games.

Additional Notes:

While there is only one spot that contains extra histories for this story, it's basically the background information of all the major characters and factions. It's strongly recommended that these are read due to the fact that your character will be interacting with most of these folks in his attempts to successfully accomplish his task(s).

This story has a very factional feel to it, so choose your allegiances carefully to get one of the better endings.

If you see a bright light, duck and cover!

Additional notes:

I should point out that this story can be very long assuming you're not dying. Years pass and your surroundings will most likely change. You may very well live a life time in the story if you're lucky. You will also experience a completely different adventure depending on how you escaped the initial nuclear strike. (Assuming you do survive it.)

As with any of my writings, the "story" comes before the "game". However, this story was written in a "game like" format. So while there isn't a complex inventory and all of that, you can technically "win" by getting one of the 4 special endings. (You'll know if you get one because you'll get an epilogue)

This one's for the kids, no really!

Additional Notes:

This story has clear cut win/lose endings. There is nothing excessively unusual about this story, it's just a simple "children's story".

(Yes, you can still die in it)

Running the family business isn't easy!

Additional Notes:

In a few places there are links for history or certain characters. While not necessary to understand the story, they do provide further background information.

There are several endings varying in degrees of good/bad or neutral outcomes. Technically there is one very happy ending, but it isn't labeled as such.

Underneath the sickness there's love...

Additional Notes:

WARNING!

This story contains a lot of graphic content, if you are offended by ultra violence, explicit sexual descriptions, tons of swearing, blasphemy, inappropriate dark humor, and brutal misanthropy in general then DO NOT read this story!

Of course now that I’ve mentioned all the things it contains, you’ll probably read it anyway, you sick little monkey.

Well don’t complain if you get offended, I did warn you and keep in mind it IS only a story.

(Or read it anyway knowing it'll offend you and leave an amusingly triggered comment. That's fine too.)

This also isn't really a "win/lose" type story. While there are some endings better than others, this is basically just a tale about a very twisted man and his very twisted lifestyle.

Additional Notes:

This story is definitely more "story" than "game", however there are two distinct paths that can be followed, each with their own pitfalls and additional choices. There is also "one true" ending in which can be considered a "win" (You'll know if you got it, because you'll get an epilogue)

This story can get long, and assuming you're surviving, years do pass in it and you and your environment will change. There are a few points in the story where there are links that lead to more background information on various people and things. While not completely necessary to understand the story, they do give you more insight into it. The text that accompanies some of the pics are also done for similar purposes (Your journal entries, personal thoughts, letters written to you, etc)

Humanity never changes...

Additional Notes:

There are links leading to various background information and your character's current thoughts throughout the story. In some cases these may provide greater insight since some mysterious things can occur in this story.

There are also several endings varying in degrees of good/bad/neutral outcomes. Technically there is one ultimate "winning" ending, but it isn't labeled as such.

Emotions can be wonderful or dangerous...

Additional Notes:

This story has a few bits that are probably a bit on the disturbing side. Not many, but they are there in places. So if you don't like that sort of thing, you probably shouldn't read it.

This story in general is probably a bit odd and less verbose than most of my other stories. There are also several endings varying in degrees of good/bad/neutral outcomes. While there are some endings better than others, this is basically just the tale of a teenager who definitely has some issues.

From humble beginning to infamy and beyond!

Additional notes:

This story is a fully self contained one and can easily be read on its own, however it also acts as a "sequel" to Innkeeper.

As with any of my writings, the story comes before the game. However while there isn't a complex inventory and all of that, you can technically "win" by getting one of the 12 epilogues.

Things would be so much easier if your name was Mary Sue

Additional notes:

This story is a fully self contained one and can easily be read on its own, however it also acts as:

A direct sequel to the "Good Girl" short story in Tales From The Basement.

A semi sequel to the other TFTB short stories, Repression, TRASH, Love SICK and Geek.

A semi prequel to Ground Zero.

As with any of my writings, the story comes before the game. However while there isn't a complex inventory and all of that, you can still "win" by getting one of the epilogues.

There are 16 epilogues total.

Because Basement Dwellers are people too!

Additional Notes:

This story is three stories in one. Your first choice will lead to a separate tale of a different “basement dweller”. Each one is mostly different in tone.

Ebay Escapist is weird and random. It’s the least verbose of the three. (Or my stories in general)

Good Girl is the longest and most descriptive of the three. There is some weirdness going on here too, but is mostly kept much more in "reality". There is a cast of characters link in the beginning to help you keep up with who’s who.

Anime Addict has a lot of offensive language and humor, so if you don't like that sort of thing you shouldn’t read this one.

In all the tales there are several endings varying in degrees of good/bad/neutral outcomes. While there are some endings better than others, these are basically just tales of basement dwellers.

It's an edgelord boogaloo!

Additional Notes:

This story is three stories in one where it follows a different protagonist based on the first choice.

This story is also probably really offensive or something. Probably shouldn't read it if that's not your thing, but feel free to do so anyway and complain loudly in the comments since those are always good for a laugh.

Anyway, there's your extra warning. You can't say you weren't told.

Incel Insanity and Whining Wokie are all new tales, while Film Fanatic is a "reboot" of sorts of an older story called Exploitation Theater. Yes, it's finally here and been greatly expanded on.

As always the story is always more important than the game focus, but also as always, you definitely can get better endings than others.

Three ladies. Three legends.

Additional notes:

This story is a fully self contained one and can easily be read on its own, however it also acts as a connection to Rogues, Eternal and Necromancer.

As with any of my writings, the story comes before the game. However there is an epilogue for each "winning" ending.

Yee Haw! It's a trailer park life for me!

Additional Notes:

This story has a ton of offensive langauge and humor so if you don't like that sort of thing, you probably shouldn't read it. Though given the setting, the language used is pretty accurate.

This also isn't really a "win/lose" type story. While there are some endings better than others, this is basically just a tale about a typical day of a degenerate that lives in a trailer park.

I figure the rage virus might make them "run hot" so it might make them more tolerant of cold weather. Enhances their speed so they can actually move fast enough to chase down stuff like deer. Probably prevents them from catching other potential diseases like rabies (though they already sort of got that) if they're just catching and consuming raw wildlife and drinking unfiltered water.

(They're basically Petros.)

Still doesn't really explain the worm eating fatties and the exact nature of their breeding habits (if they're doing that on any major scale) but maybe they'll go into it more in the next sequel.

Green (Though she's only briefly active once every so many years)

Will (Though he lives in Police State Hell AKA China)

Cat

Goodnight

Crimson

And Flutter whenever he's decided to stop jerking it to cartoon ponys and poorly attempting to troll Malk with an alt

Holy shit I can't believe I missed that Saville connection. Lol

28 Years Later (The Movie)

Alright so the 28 franchise has never been my favorite. While everyone raved over the first one when it came out, I saw it and almost had a facial expression. Last half of the movie was basically just some dull “army bad and full of RAPISTS” bit and I thought it was stupid.

The sequel which for whatever reason was less well received I actually liked better, but it wasn’t anything special as far as “zombie” movies go.  And we won’t even get into that whole argument about what’s a zombie and what isn’t. (Mainly because they’re not dead, so they ain’t zombies. There’s no argument to be had)

So I went in not expecting anything too much better than the second movie which was once again a good idea on my part since it exceeded my expectations. In fact it was completely different than what I was expecting even based on the trailer.

Spoiling the hell out of this so I suggest you prepare yourselves.

So starts out somewhere in Scotland with a bunch of blonde children (like maybe 6 or 7 of them) watching the Teletubbies. Only one of them seems to be a boy and that’s Jimmy. There’s some yelling by the adults elsewhere in the house and Jimmy and the rest get told to stay in the room. Well eventually Jimmy goes to the door to listen to the sudden silence only for the door to burst open slamming him into the wall and the infected rage dude murder the shit out of ALL his sisters (I assume they were his sisters, they all had blonde hair) while Jimmy stands there in shock.

I’ll admit THIS was a great way to gain my attention right from the start. Already better than the first two movies. Granted they weren’t showing the kids getting killed, but it was enough to make me laugh out loud in the theater. More movies should begin like this.

So Jimmy manages to escape and he runs to the local priest who is praying and half insane himself saying that the infected are saved and fully intends on joining them soon. He gives Jimmy his cross telling him to keep it. he then lets himself get chomped on while Jimmy hides again watching the entire thing and seeing the priest become infected with his new rage buddies.

Cut to 28 Years Later. I assume the previous stuff happened after the second movie because you then get a quick recap that the rage virus was beaten back from the rest of continental Euroland (The last movie showed the infected invading France from the tunnel) and contained to just Britland which was then quarantined and everyone was left to fend for themselves on that dreary little island.

So now you got a kid named Spike with his mom and dad living in their safe heavily fortified post apocalyptic village that is on an even smaller island off the coast of Britland. (Lindisfarne) It’s sort of a perfect defense point since there’s a causeway that routinely gets submerged by a high tide. So there’s only a few hours of low tide to go across it. Spike’s mom is sick and nobody knows exactly what it is, but she goes into states of being delusional and confused for awhile so she’s in bed a lot.

As for the dad, well he’s getting Spike ready to go on his first infected hunt. Gotta become a man and all. Spike’s a little on the younger side since he’s 12, and usually they wait until at least 14/15 before sending the kids to do this, but he’s determined. The village itself is about medieval stage level with maybe a few bit more advanced here and there thanks to existing tech. It’s also a bit of a “last stand of Britannia” since they’re still waving the tattered remnants of the English flag (Though not the Union Jack) and have an old Queen Elizabeth pic hanging in their great hall. I’m sure there’s some sort of message there of Britland becoming a third world shithole and hanging on to fading glory, but back to the dimestore zombies.

Spike and his dad leave the village and head to the main island to go hunt some infected. This part of the movie is basically a typical father/son bonding over killing shit sort of thing. Keep in mind that this is Britland so nobody’s using guns, they’re all using bows. So it’s a little harder to hit a fast running target but this would be a good point to get into the “video game” element of the movie.

What I mean by this is the franchise seems to have decided to make different kinds of infected now and it doesn’t make too much sense though damn fool me for trying to apply logic to a dimestore zombie movie right? Still, the 28 series generally tried to stick with in movie medical reasons for the rage virus to keep it a bit different than the usual zombie stuff.

For example, the infected because they’re actually alive, they do have to eat to continue living. It’s mentioned in other 2 movies that they will eventually starve to death if they go without food like a normal human. Of course they’re still able to move a bit quicker in a starved state probably due all that rage virus stuff in them, but if you found a place to hold up and waited long enough, eventually they’ll run out of targets and food to keep them going. So realistically there probably shouldn’t even be a lot of them around anymore after 28 years if Britland has been quarantined effectively.

Of course that would make a for a pretty dull movie, so naturally they just sort of hand waved some of this and it seem that they’ve evolved like pokemon.

So now you got grossly FAT infected that hilariously crawl around on the ground eating worms. Seriously? You’re telling me these fat fuckers got that way just crawling and snuffling about like pigs eating worms? Granted they’ll eat humans too (or anything they can grab) but would you even have fat infected after 28 years with a semi-steady diet of worms with maybe the occasional human?

Anyway Spike kills one of those first and his dad helps with some others.

When the normal fast infected show up, Spike has a harder time of it and his dad has to do most of the heavy lifting. Shit really hits the fan, when an Alpha shows up. And here’s where we get into the next type of infected.

Alphas are leaders of infected packs as you’d expect, but they’re also a lot bigger and freakishly strong. At one point later in the movie, they actually do try to explain this one saying something about the virus creating a steroid effect in some. I’m guessing maybe something similar is going on with the fatties just in a different way, because I don’t remember hearing them explain those. I’ll also mention that at this point the infected are all mostly naked with their clothing having rotted off long ago. So lots of ugly, dirty naked folks running and walking around in a jerky motion like retarded crackheads. (Well except for the fat ones who are just like normal grossly fat people)

So at one point Spike and his dad have to hide out from an alpha and a pack for a night and then they get back home during a low tide, but an alpha starts chasing them. Apparently alphas also have some sort of mutant ability to control ravens too (Or this one leveled up), because he had a flock of them temporarily harass Spike and his dad on their way home. (They just make one pass though) After a thrilling sequence of the high tide coming in and the alpha closing in, Spike and his dad manage to get back inside the village gates after the village guards pepper the alpha with arrows and even a small ballista bolt.

Cut to a celebration at the town hall where everyone is getting drunk and partying while Spike’s dad brags about how well his son did. Spike though is feeling imposter syndrome since he didn’t do that well, but his concerns about that are discarded when he finds his dad later eating out some woman that isn’t his mom. He heads home to see to his mom and briefly talks to an old guy who was looking after her while they were gone. After some back and forth about what he did and saw out on the mainland, Spike does bring up one more unusual thing which is he saw a fire to the southwest direction, but his dad at the time didn’t want to speak too much on it. The old man mentions that’s probably Dr. Kelson, which perks up Spike since he was under the impression that all the doctors were gone based on what his dad said. The old guy won’t elaborate too much further since if his dad didn’t want to speak anymore on it, then he shouldn’t either.

The old man leaves and Spike checks on his mom and sleeps in her room. Next morning, his dad finally comes home and Spike confronts him about cheating on his mom along with potentially taking mom to that doctor. Dad doesn’t have too much response to cheating on mom, but going to the doc’s is out of the question since he says the dude’s crazy. He mentioned he did travel to the fire once a long time ago and saw the doctor with a literal graveyard full of bodies laid out as he was tossing them into a fire. Doc waved them down in a friendly manner, but he and his group took off instead.

Anyway after a bit of a physical confrontation with his dad (Of which he stands no chance, but his dad does understand why he’s upset so he doesn’t kick his ass into dirt) Spike is once again determined to take his mom to the doctor. He manages to convince his half delusional mother to follow him first, then he also sets a fire and calls to the gate guards that all help is needed to stop it.

Then he manages to get across the low tide causeway and back to the mainland only for then his mom to snap out of her delusional state as she tends to do and she’s demanding to go back to the village. He assures her though that they need to go to this doctor which she agrees to so they’re off on an adventure.

Along the way during one of their rests, Spike falls asleep while on watch and a fatty manages to sneak up on him (Thinking his shoelace is a worm at first) The mom however prevents anything from happening as she puts a bag over fattie’s head and smashes it repeatedly into the concrete. She’s doesn’t remember doing it though, the pair of them wake up to just discover a fatty corpse with a bag on its head.

There’s also a separate scene with a team of dudes with military gear, however a horde of infected lead by another alpha kill all of them except one. This particular alpha will pop up throughout the movie. Literally pop up since you get close ups of his GIANT DICK angrily flopping about while he’s ripping people’s heads off. The military team soon becomes important since the one survivor soon rescues Spike and his mom from getting killed by a different pack of infected.

Erik is the surviving military dude. He’s NATO and he’s from Sweden. He mentions his patrol ship got destroyed crashing into rocks (So much for any proper viking genes on that ship) and how he’s the only survivor of his group that made it to shore. He’s not exactly the most friendly and only helped believing that they could help him somehow with directions, but since they got their own mission to the doctor and he doesn’t have much else to do, so he decides to go along with them to the doctor. He’s got some funny banter and he gives a little insight on how things are in the rest of the world, which seems to be chugging along just fine. He’s got a cellphone with his plastic surgery addicted girlfriend on it and bitches about not becoming a simple delivery driver like his friend.

Basically the world literally just said fuck the Brits and surrounded it with NATO warships. Lol

So then Spike’s mom gets distracted by the sounds of moaning and wanders quickly towards it. A sane person wouldn’t do this, but as we all know Spike’s mom isn’t well. She stumbles upon an infected woman who is ready to pop with a great big belly. You actually see this preggo infected earlier in the big dick alpha’s pack while they were drinking (and even washing a bit) in a shallow stream. She wandered off to give birth, so it can be assumed at this point that the infected occasionally fuck each other which is probably a way to explain why there’s still some around after 28 years, but it still stretches logic a bit. (And I’ll explain why in a moment)

In any case, Spike’s mom somehow manages to become an infected whisperer and the infected woman actually stops trying to attack long enough to simply just hold her hands while she pushes out a kid. Spike is sort of unsure about any of this, until his mom tells him to cut the umbilical cord with his knife. Erik on the other hand is ready to shoot the infected mom and the baby since this is a bad idea letting them breed like this. Supposed to be lowering their numbers, not allowing them to increase.

The infected mom immediately goes feral again after giving birth, prompting Erik to kill her. He’s going to shoot the baby and Spike’s mom for being insane enough to hang on to it. She  claims though that the baby doesn’t show the signs of infection. Which sort destroys the idea of the infected sustaining their numbers through occasionally breeding since she’d probably eat the baby after having it. Though they don’t go into excessive detail on potential infected motherhood and there’s a bit later that suggests that this isn’t a normal occurrence anyway.

Erik doesn’t get to do shit though since big dick alpha shows up and rips Erik’s head off and continues to carry the head (and partial spine) while chasing Spike and his mom. He temporarily stops to look at the dead infected woman and just gets even angrier, so it’s clear that even on some primal level this woman was his chosen mate.

So Spike manages to shoot a few arrows into the alpha, but it ain’t slowing him down. What finally stops him though is a blowdart with a morphine mixture which puts him to sleep. The blowdart was from Dr. Kelson. The doctor is played by Ralph Finnes so he’s suitably good at playing a weird guy.

And the doc is certainly weird, though he’s not strictly crazy in the traditional sense, he’s definitely gone into the strange philosophical hermit area. He’s basically been taking all the bodies, burning them, and making a huge temple/memorial to the dead out of their bones. He’s been doing this for years so there’s a small “bone forest” at this point. Just pillars of bone and in the center of his sanctuary is an even bigger stack of skulls. He even takes Erik’s decapitated head from the sleeping alpha and later burns off the flesh to a skull and tells Spike to place him somewhere on the skull temple.

Besides the doctor’s death obsession, he asks about the baby and always wondered if a baby by an infected would be immune to the virus thanks to the placenta. Spike then mentions why he’s really there which is about his mom. The doc examines his mom the best he can without proper medical equipment and determines that she’s got cancer and it’s progressed either from her head to her body or vice versa, but either way there’s nothing he can do and she’ll be dead soon of it. Spike of course says about going to a hospital to gather medicine, but Kelson is like there’s no medicine that’s going to help at this point. The mother mentions she had a feeling it was cancer, but wasn’t sure. She says she should have just said something sooner.

So after saying some goodbyes, Kelson hits the mom with a morphine dart overdose and walks her away from Spike. He then later returns with her freshly cleaned SKULL and hands it to Spike telling him to find a good place for her.

Which is sort of fucked up when you really think about how the doc just chopped off his mom’s head and scorched it down to the skull and handed it to him lol.

However at this point Spike’s sort of on board with the doc’s death philosophy that eventually everyone dies, so he climbs to the top of the skull pillar and puts his mom’s skull on top looking out at the sunrise and he even kisses it goodbye because Spike’s just that fucking hardcore at this point.

So there’s one more encounter with big dick alpha (Or Samson as Kelson has named him) and after they put him to sleep again (Not sure why they just didn’t kill the fucker the first time around when he was asleep) Kelson says that he believes Spike should head back to his village with the baby.

Which is what he does uneventfully. However, Spike himself doesn’t go back. What he does instead is leave the baby outside the village gate with a note saying that he’s going to explore the mainland more and tells his dad he’s fine and not to go after him. Also mentions the doctor isn’t crazy (relatively speaking), the situation with the baby and what happened to his mom.

His dad is pretty upset about this of course, but there’s actually a law in the village anyway that there’s no rescue party attempts due to losing too many people in past. (Hence why they never went after Spike and his mom in the first place)

So cuts to Spike traveling a bit and then encountering some infected. He gets a few of them, but there’s too many and he gets blocked by a rockslide. However an older blonde guy appears from the rocks above saying that his bow skills are impressive, but he probably could use some help. Spike quickly agrees and then blonde dude calls his buddies which all also have blonde hair similar to him and they’re all dressed like chavs and doing all sorts of acrobatic fighting moves with melee weapons taking out the infected.

The blonde guy helps Spike up and says his name is Jimmy and he thinks they’ll be friends. And if it wasn’t apparent by this point, this is the kid who we saw in the beginning now grown up and he’s even wearing the cross the priest gave him, except its upside down.

Roll credits and wait next year for the next sequel which they apparently filmed back to back with this one.

So final verdict is I liked this one way better than the other two. Even the kid wasn’t annoying in it which was good since he’s the main protagonist and sort was going to fail or succeed based on him.

Looking forward to the next one which apparently going to be called “28 Years Later: The Bone Temple” so I assume this will involve more conflict with Jimmy since he’s obviously set up to be a cult leader. I also figure Spike’s dad will be ignoring the village rules and going out to look for his him. I guess they’re even having the protagonist of the first movie returning in that one too.

Well you get the comms since there's no way to take them away (yet) but for the contest purposes it only counts once.

What happened was I was going through all the recent comments on stories and just clicking the story links in different tabs so I could easily just feature stuff.

Ended up featuring yours twice by accident since I'd featured it while featuring one of Cat's (I think) and when I got to the original tab I'd opened you got featured again while I was just clicking through.

How much of the storyline was transferred over from the game to the CYOA.

And more importantly were you able to fuck your sister in the game as well.

Well only two come to mind off the top of my head and both of them had development issues.

The first one was a game called “This Land is My Land” which was sort of like a Red Dead Redemption open world style game with more survival elements and you played as an Indian trying to fight off the white settlers.

I always wondered what happened to it, since I stopped seeing any more about it and just figured maybe it actually had come out and just was a lanky mess or underwhelming, but apparently the studio just canceled in favor of working on a boring ass shooter. Then because these dudes were in Ukraine, the war broke out so all production and funds were halted and whatever they’re working on now is completely new.

I think there’s just the downloadable demo they had of it now.

The other one is probably closer to what you asked about and it's obscure and nearly forgotten seeing how old it is, and I only remember it thanks to an ad seen in an old PC Gamer magazine (Yeah it’s that old)

It was called Theocracy and had an Aztec theme. You took control of central american tribe in pre-colonial Mexico and had a 100 years to build up before the Spanish arrived to fuck up everything. Naturally you were competing with other tribes who all had their own personalities and units.

Kind of incorporated fantasy elements since you could build up pyramids to increase magic powers. You also did the more mundane stuff like build farms, raise armies, gather slaves, etc. Had a campaign too.

It was a real time strategy game (Though apparently had some turn based strategy on a grander scale) and was pretty obscure even when it did come out seeing as the studio that developed it had some publishing issues, came out a bit later than expected and it ended up being more well known in Euroland. Plus around this late 90s early 2000s era, there were a shitload of RTS games out so that also contributed to getting lost in the shuffle.

I guess you can download it from GoG, but it’s a pain in the balls to get it to run.

You lot are lucky Pierre isn’t in this contest, because as far as I’m concerned he’s soundly beaten the chicken soup out of all of you.

Oh so that's what happened to her.

Always thought she would show up again in the movie after he reunited with her as an adult, but that was the last we saw of her.

Alright finally got one major ending done. In fact, here's a little bit of it (Just the first part)

First Draft

“The end.” Erin said.

There was silence from her audience of two for a moment, and then eventually the older woman spoke.

“Well it was an interesting story and you’ve always been good at that sort of thing, but…”

“But what mom?”

“Well did you have to be so graphic?” Eliza asked.

“I didn’t think I was.”

“You mentioned folks getting brutally killed, enslaved and raped! I mean granted most of these folks were goblins, but still.”

“But, that’s what the dero do mom. I have to capture the essence of their origins based on the lore I’ve acquired about them.”

“Hm, I dunno. I’ve never really heard about this race before, but they sound pretty terrible.”

“Well that’s just it mom, not many people know about them since they mainly live very deep underground! Or even if they have heard of them it’s always been myth or rumor, or worse they get them confused with normal dwarves, which is even more unfortunate given what the dero engage in when they bother to come to the surface. So you see, this story is educational as well as entertaining!”

“Entertaining with rape and slavery?”
