Psalms of Hell

Deacon, alone with a dying Derrin against the Omniternal after his allies were ripped from the fight, rolled through his madness disadvantage and split the creature's massive eye clean in half — ending a five-day time loop in a single 30-damage killing blow as prismatic ichor flooded the cellar floor.

Darren grappled a surgically scarred wolf creature at the top of the Obitis Scolare, only to be dangled upside down and hurled bodily into Azquireth — and when Darren later had Azquireth hold him inverted in the street, he glimpsed thousands of chained souls suspended above the city, the entire metropolis revealed as purgatory anchored between heaven and hell.

Darren took a golden idol calf literally by the horns, grappled it to the ground, and was swallowed whole — surviving inside the beast until Azquireth's Thorn Whip dragged it into a fountain and the cold water locked its joints and killed it.

Deacon sealed himself inside a massive mechanical locust at the city wall, riding it from within and collapsing it with two devastating strikes while wall soldiers died of radiation boils around him.

Darren raged bare-handed against a nightshade creature in the fog outside the city walls, ripped its skull free, then one-armed hauled it back up a cliff so Deacon could slice the nightshade flower free — before kicking the headless body into the abyss.
