Showing results for "The Portal" in Epic

I am not of this world. It was an ordinary Friday. Dungeons and Dragons with the crew. A few IPAs. Maybe some hummus. That was all until a careless mistake sent me hurtling into another dimension. I don't understand everything just yet. With elves, trolls, and some sort of ultimate bad-ass called the Lich King running around, how could I? But, what I do understand is this: I have a job to do. Because for the first time in a long time, people depend on me. And my actions could mean the difference between life and death not just for me, but for all of Zamina.

The usual result of a human taking a runaway semitruck head-on is a very sudden, very fast track to the pearly gates. But for one newly noncorporeal man, there's another option: become a dungeon. Feeling sorry for the desperate angel assigned to him, the man relents. Heck, if it doesn't work out, he can always chat with Saint Peter about it later. Next thing you know, he's a dungeon. Admittedly, a small run-down, somewhat unimpressive dungeon (more of a house, actually), but you gotta start somewhere, right?

Ilea survived the eclipse on Erendar, and she didn’t return alone. With the Meadow settling in Hallowfort and her third class finally unlocked, Ilea finds herself looking for new ways to test and improve her powers. After duelling a few locals, delving into the depths of a rotten, forgotten tomb, battle-testing her Sentinel students, and herding a literal bunch of cats, Ilea decides to get back to her roots.

The Worldbranch Throne has been claimed, but the Lunar Empress now looms over EBO. Her arrival heralds the start of a new era: a strange continent, powerful loot drops, and a catch-up event that drastically empowers those who have fallen behind the leveling curve.

After her near-fatal journey into the Descent, Ilea returns south to check on her allies and lay some groundwork for unlocking her elusive third Class. Trian is ready to start training the first generation of Medic Sentinels, the battle-healers of their newly founded organization, and Ilea is happy to join in as a teacher (of sorts). Hopefully, her work will pay off in the birth of at least a few mini-versions of herself.

Ilea likes punching things. And eating. Unfortunately, there aren’t too many career options for hungry brawlers. Instead, the plan is to quit her crappy fast-food job, go to college, and become a fully functioning member of society. Essentially—a fate worse than death.
