Creatures of the earth, gebur — though possessing dense flesh, if one somehow gets past their outer shell — are best described as resembling athletic elves with a distinctly reptilian cast to their features and the hint of a scaly pattern on the surface of their skin. None would mistake a gebur for an elf, even a reptilian one, however; not after taking in the creature’s glittering crystal eyes, and the smooth slowing malachite that makes up skin, hair, even teeth and nails. Not the most gregarious of creatures, gebur are seldom found in numbers greater than a dozen or so — but those small groups fiercely defend one another. The only thing which will provoke a greater defensive fury is the theft of gebur egg-buds, and as those smooth ovals of semi-precious stone are all too tempting to outsiders, clashes can be quite common.

Forsaking weaponry unless magic has been somehow acquired — and spellcasters among their kind are exceedingly rare and revered — gebur wade into combat with fists swinging. They pack quite a punch; each successful attack inflicts 1d10 points of damage. The smooth stony skin of a gebur offers elemental protection as well as defense against mundane injury; all damage from fire or electricity is halved, and a gebur gains +3 to physical resistance rolls against earth-based magics of all kinds.

Otherworldly creatures – not quite spirit, not quite elemental – the niirun are eternally in flight, their scores of gold and onyx shards orbiting in complex and ever shifting patterns around the snow-orange flames of their burning core. Niirun may appear suddenly, in virtually any environment and with no discernable pattern to their “choices”; some speculate that the creatures are not even aware and their actions are merely rote responses, though others believe their awareness is merely alien and some form of enchantment may allow proper communication.

Regardless of the truth, niirun do attack when provoked – and, sometimes, even when merely approached. Up to four of the niirun’s razor sharp shards may be brought to bear in a single round, launched from their orbit as if fired from a shortbow to inflict 1d4 hit points of damage each; or, if the creature prefers, it may cast the equivalent of hold creature as six shards orbit a chosen target and weave an elaborate brightwarp of confining, solid light.

Very rarely a niirun will appear and approach an injured individual, launching a single golden shard that upon impact heals 2d6 hit points of damage rather than causing injury. Unfortunately this “attack” may often be misinterpreted by allies of the wounded subject, and if combat results the niirun will reclaim its energies and then some, inflicting 2d8 hit points of damage on the formerly-healed creature in the form of sparkling fragments drawn out of the body and into the niirun’s core.

We had one of our best months ever in April, and it was a great way to start out the Spring. We are looking forward to having another great month in May, and we have some great news about the site as well as some future releases for the month.
