D&D Online: New Poll & Story @ Official Site

In what is becoming a regular weekly pairing, the official Dungeons and Dragons Site is offering a new Player Screenshot Poll and the latest chapter of Keith Baker's Shadows of Stormreach. Here's a snippet from the story:

Petra said the tunnel had been built by giants, and Shadow could see why. Even a team of ogres would have trouble working with the massive blocks of stone used in the ancient walls. And then there were the lightstones-orbs of cold fire much like those found in Sharn or Stormreach itself, but easily three times the size of the usual streetlamp. How many thousands of years have these been shining in the depths? she wondered.

The halfling stayed a short distance ahead of the others, clinging to any darkness she could find. As she crept forward, Shadow searched for any sort of trap that might lie in their path-pressure plates, tripwires, the vague shimmer that hinted at the presence of a magical glyph. She found nothing, and this made her even more uncomfortable.
