Board Battles / Re: The Three-Edged Sword: Rallying to War
« Last post by Kitharsis on October 13, 2023, 09:38:47 AM »As the wave of darkness passes through them Kitharsis feels an all too familiar feeling prickling his skin. It passes just as quickly. A fleeting reminder of his all too recent past, faint as it was.
The copy of the armored guardian melts away in front of him, and Kitharsis lowers his weapons. The floating swords return to his side, and the sand at his feet coalesces around him.
The guardian utters a remark, before being pulled into a portal behind him. Another being mocks them, before vanishing also. It appears they have caught the Shaiton's attention.
Jharm explains who these beings are after he recovers from the darkness. It appears to have affected him more than the rest. Except for Valdanya. She appears to have had the reverse affect from the darkness. An interesting development that will need to be watched. After all, she was a newcomer with unknown origins. A spy, perhaps?
He doesn't allude to any suspicion, as he follows Jharm back toward the Aisgeim. Soul Reaver asks the questions on Kitharsis's mind. He listens intently to their exchange. As they switch from words to thoughts, he sighs and continues on his way. He trusts their judgements, as always.
Outside of the base Kitharsis is met by the remnants of his summons. The giant scorpion still stands proudly, its armored carapace having protected it assuredly. The smaller golems did not fare as well, evidenced by two piles of sand scattered on the ground. Only one of the pair of smaller scorpions has survived as well. It stands guard of its twin even now. The large golem was missing an arm, but still stands at the ready.
Kitharsis thanks each of them, and with a wave of his hand dismisses them all. They return from where they were summoned. They all will be returned whole, as is the nature of these summoning runes.
As he boards the Aesgim he digs through the rune pouch at his hip, selecting the next round of combatants. The next base will likely be more fortified.
"Now that they know we're coming, the next base will most likely be more heavily guarded. This Nethanya will surely see to that. What is the plan for our approach this time?"
