Drakhurn grumbled as he stared up at the towering obelisk, it's crystaline features shimmering in the torchlight. Soon... yes soon all this waiting will be over, and all his years of planning shall come to fruition.
Bouregard was grumbling some words of his own as well, mostly directed towards his shadowy associate, as he reset the last torch. "Thar... et's dun." he growled, moving away from the infernal thing as Drakhurn immediately lit the flames within it.
Tileesha sat next to the alter that stood in front of the Obelisk, silently curled up, watching the sky.
"Good work. We should just have enough time then. Bring the brats now... I wanna get this all ready." ordered Drakhurn, not even taking his eyes off of the tall structure in front of him.
"Foin." groaned Bouregard as he walked off into the fog. Tiny screams and protests erupted forth from within the thick mist as Bouregard returned, with the Captain's children under each arm. They kicked, they hit, they screamed, they sobbed and even bit, but it made no difference, Bouregard hardly noticed what they were doing.
"Finally my friends... the day we've all awaited is at hand. Soon the ritual shall be complete, and HE will finally be free... and soon... so shall we." he said, the others could swear that he was smiling within all that darkness which enshrouded him.
Bouregard made his way across the circle, the children's protests and frantic wriggling only increasing with each step that brought them closer to that living shadow.
The skies were pierced by a high-pitched sound as an iron bolt hit down directly in front of Bouregard, stopping him immediately in his path.
"Sorry to say this but it looks like your party has been called off, Asshole." came a familiar voice. Drakhurn snarled and turned towards the source of this interuption.
From out of the shadowy fog came the four interlopers, the Half-Elf, the Succubus, the Usajin, and the Mage.
Though the mage looked significantly different from last time.
"A pity... I would've thought that the Draggawocky would've been able to kill you all. Seems I should've just simply handled it myself... but no matter." came the living darkness that was Drakhurn as he seemed to quietly glide from the sacrificial alter.
"You've been able to make a few complications for me, I'll admit that... but you've made little difference in the overall scheme." said the shadowy ghoul as it took it's place in the center of the large circle of torches. He was soon joined by his fellow associates.
"Tileesha, Bouregard...," said Drakhurn as he easily snatched the two children from his towering commrade's grasp, "entertain our guests while I make the final preparations." he ordered, turning his back on the quartet, and heading back to where he was.
(Ok, fight order will be in my next post, feel free to post reactions and preparations and whatnot till then.)
