RiftMode
The once-mighty empire of Ostvengr is slowly dying. Its last defenses are sent down into the earth in search of resources that the slowly collapsing state above so desperately needs. It’s a cold, muddy, iron-colored place, and the four-man squad moves slowly and watchfully through its twisting subterranean tunnels. Some of the implants they’ve been given are still raw and unfinished, and there’s salvage behind almost every fallen relic – but right now, that salvage is all down here. The walls are slick with a living, yellowish material, and the occasional scuttling abomination made of twisted metal and foul-smelling marrow is pressed up against the darkness at every sharp turn in the passage. And every decision about where to go and how to get there is going to have to be made within seconds, or else, because down here, in the chaotic depths of this awful place, the very ground itself is a hostile force that can do whatever it wants to whoever is down here. In the end, that very ground can decide to swallow up the bodies of every last one of a squad, as well as their gear and all the scrap they managed to scavenge, should they fail to make it to the extraction point in time. That’s how it is down here. The abyss is full of resources of great value – but it never gives anything up without a fight.
