Jaws of Dawn

Jaws of Dawn was a Dungeons & Dragons campaign based off IRIS and its story, and was released on October 30, 2020, one year after the release of Goliath's Throne. It is supposed to take place during the events of the upcoming novel, and features different types of monsters.

## Beginning

This tale begins in the Depths, a planet inhabited by Father Tyrant and Lady Fate, two guardians that protected not only the land, but the omen child they weren't planning on having, who goes by one and only one name, the Goliath. Father Tyrant and his soldiers must go on an epic adventure, and do whatever it takes to slay the biggest beast known to mankind... the Mothohive.

## The Claustronoctus, Bipolisian, and Anxosax

Tyrant and his soldiers encounter 3 of the biggest monsters. The soldiers fought long and hard, and the battle was tough, but with skill and triumph, the soldiers defeated them. However, let's not celebrate too much too soon, we're just getting started.

## The Gauntlet

After defeating the 3 beasts, Tyrant reaches an unholy abyss, with soldiers that only have the Fire Arc Cane. But then, he hears a slithering noise in the dark. He's not alone, but what could it be? They continue walking, ignoring the sound that plagued their ears. Suddenly, one of the soldiers gets hit with a Paradime Worm, parasites that hide in the dirt to take 1 piece of health away from the soldier's HP. Despite this, Tyrant and his soldiers finally light up the Gauntlet, leaving 14 Paradime Worms in the dirt. But what is this? It's huge! What is it? They can't believe their eyes! It is none other than...

## The Griefworm

Tyrant and his soldiers are horrified to see this beast with a million jaws, but one of the soldiers remained triumphant, and attacks the beast's weakness, the main jaw. After many attacks to the main jaw, and unfortunately losing one of the soldiers, Grief has finally perished, and their journey, along with our time here, is nearing the end. Suddenly, Tyrant notices a strange noise, and is horrified to see the legendary mythological being, the biggest beast in the universe, the one and only...

## The Mothohive

Tyrant and his soldiers are trapped, and he says that they may not make it out of here after all. With a large amount of health, 3000 HP, the Mothohive stares down at the crew. The soldiers gave it their all, but they were powerless against the beast. The Hive slays half of the soldiers, while the other half remained triumphant. Unfortunately, the Hive kills more of the soldiers, leaving one soldier left. Thankfully, the Mothohive is almost dead, and Tyrant is feeling confident about this battle. Many fought and many died a hero, and Tyrant was about to finally slay the biggest beast known to mankind... or so he thought. Turns out the Mothohive, at 2.5 health, defeats the final soldier, much to the dismay of Tyrant.

## End

Tyrant is devastated by the Mothohive's victory, wishing for a sign. But he decides to take a risky move, to use the Talisman, an orb that will give anyone their most desirable wishes. Tyrant makes a daring decision, to call upon the Souls of the Damned. The Souls mock Tyrant for a little bit, but are horrified to hear that the Mothohive has become a reality. The Souls agree, but offers to make his firstborn to be tortured for eternity. Tyrant is angered by this at first, but he realizes that he has no choice. He flips the Talisman and revives his soldiers, to defeat the Mothohive once and for all. The staff that Tyrant carries, he shoves it in the tail of the Mothohive. It has been slain, but a specimen comes out of its belly. It appears to be an egg, containing a hybrid of human and dark matter. And so... **the Goliath was born.**
