Imp of the week - the Truggulkin

I've created a number of strange creatures for the Impcatcher novels. This is another page from Garkosio's Guide to Imps, which is the most widely used reference book in Tal's world. This is Tal's copy, with his annotations in blue.

 

As always, comments are most welcome!

A couple of people have asked if I'm going to produce a complete book of imps. I'm wondering about doing a guide to Impcatching, using these Garkoskio pages plus some other bits and pieces. Alternatively, I wondered about doing a D&D monster manual-style book either for D&D5 or for Pathfinder. Anyone got any views?

This is my snippet this week for SFFSat. SFFSat is a place where a number of authors post snippets from their written works, and give the opportunity for comments, support and encouragement. Please also explore the other blogs that are part of this group - you can find the information here.

 

Today's snippet is from Impcatcher, which is now on sale on Amazon for the Kindle and in paperback, and DriveThru in pdf format. The general epub version is at Lulu.

When we last saw Tal, a demon was trying to kill him. It isn't giving up...

 

Another lunge, another attempt to carve its name in my stomach. Two narrow red lines appeared, as if by magic, on my tunic. This was a good tunic, too – I snarled an objection, but the demon really wasn't interested. 

No way I was getting out of this. I was facing a glorathnar. Tenacious, tough, ruthless, and they didn't give up. Whoever had sicced this upon me wanted me dead.

Common sense said I should give up, let it slaughter me cleanly. At least it would be quick and relatively painless. Glorathnars aren't sadists, not like some of their ilk. Whoever had summoned this had picked a demonic assassin quite considerately.

Most of my ex-girlfriends will tell you I have no common sense. I wasn't going to give up quietly. I would go down fighting.

As always, comments welcomed! The bad news is that this is the last snippet from Impcatcher I'm going to put up for a while - so if you want to know how Tal gets out of this, you'll have to read the book!

It swung at me again, confident that I was on the deck and couldn't move fast enough again to escape being ventilated. Good guess, but wrong – becoming a pin-cushion is not one of my ambitions, and my lack of such a plan for my future gave me a strong incentive to move. I rolled clear and was back on my feet before big and dangerous could recover.

“Only prolonging the agony, Djandiss” the demon growled.

I shrugged. “You might get bored and give up.”

“Got a high boredom threshold.”

Would you believe it? A demon with a degree of witticism.

It lunged again. This time I struck with the dagger at the incoming arm. My blade scored home, carving a deep red trench into the demon's red skin that oozed black ichor, and the demon leapt back, snarling obscenities that would impress a hob.

“Sure you'd rather not get bored and give up?” I asked cockily.

“Positive - want some revenge, now...”
