Ahoy

1909

From Herbert Strang’s Annual (1909)

Opium

“He was still watching through the crevice, when a slight noise caused him to turn his head. Even as he did so, a pair of slender, sinewy hands fastened on his neck, and he was jerked off his feet. The next moment he was on his back, with an evil yellow face close to his own.”

Adventure

Oblivion

“…Vox was forced to rely on goblin mercenaries to hold on to what little power he had left in Undertown. These days, if the rumours are true, he spends his entire time alone in his dilapidated palace, too obese to leave his bed-chamber, drinking himself into a stupor each night with bottle after bottle of Oblivion.”
