One by one, the other Companions prepared to go in after the abducted Seraph. The unknown entity within sounded quite confident of such an eventuality. Phaerys found himself wavering at the threshold, compulsory speculation arriving at the uncomfortable possibility that the prime leader of the Shaiton lay beyond that portal.
But to turn back now would have been foolish beyond measure. Their path had been set before them. The Ataran retrieved the second seismic bomb that he had fabricated and stowed away prior to their first foray into Shaiton territory. Now was as good a time as any to consider putting it to use.
Duly prepared, he silently followed the others through the portal...

Jharm is snatched into His portal, whoever He is. Vee quickly and without regard jumps in after him. An irritated Soul Reaver, and an over eager Gulgrim follow suit.
With a sigh, Kitharsis sheathes his sword. The need for an abundance of force might be necessary, and his skill with the sword is dwarfed by his other skills. The sand summoned during the battle twists around him into a sphere as a pre-emptive attempt to defend against whatever might be waiting on the other side of the portal.
"This smells foul, but it is a long walk back." He says, before hopping into the portal himself.
This being appears almost jovial about the situation. After slaughtering so many of his forces, and defeating his commanders it is an odd juxtaposition. Either He is incredibly foolish, or incredibly powerful.
Kitharsis would almost certainly bet on the latter.

There would be little chance for talk once Gulgrim arrived anywhere an enemy was present at the moment, suffused as he was with the fury of the Orks' twin gods. As if knowing this, Gulgrim would chance to be the last one through the gate of the companions, granting the others what little time the delay in his arrival allowed to converse before all hell would break loose upon his entrance. Green lightning and emerald flames crackle and roar in the Avatar's vicinity, and it seems as if his denied bloodshed has only heightened his battle-lust, the fury rolling beneath his unnaturally silent visage reaching a boiling point that would only be satisfied with carnage and destruction.
To put it plain, Gulgrim was becoming dangerous to everything around him, the longer he was teased and yet denied a proper fight. This lord of darkness had better deliver, or this dimension may never recover from the wanton slaughter that was barely holding onto a focus of direction.

Soul Reaver's been fishing for answers so he's quite frustrated at Nethalika's disappearance, and he doesn't entirely trust Vee either, but he doesn't see much of an option other than to join her.

Whirling around, Soul Reaver frowns as he listens to the booming voice.
As Jharm is seized and pulled through the portal, Soul Reaver dives forward to try and pull him back, but he is too far away and too late - by the time he gets there, Jharm has already been drawn through.
Then Vee follows him in, much to Soul Reaver's consternation. Her message does little to allay his worries.
Soul Reaver finds himself frustrated by Nethalika's disappearance. He had hoped to get his answers through her. Though he trusts Jharm, he also feels like there are a number of pieces missing here. There is more to this conflict than he has been told, and he feels there may be a lot more at stake.
Grudgingly, Soul Reaver cast a protective Shielding spell around himself. Then he dives through the portal to join Vee with sword at the ready, his daemonic troops not far behind.

The crystals shatter and explode, Nethalikas shield on the verge of shattering as well. A moment later however a massive surge of power can be sensed by all far in the distance, followed by Nethalika vanishing in a cloud of Darkness. A split second later a booming voice resonates within the minds of all the Companions.
"Ah yes....I....have returned!"
The Seraphim glances around, a faint hint of shock in his voice.
"It can't be...it's Him."
"Seraphim...it has been a long time has it not?"
Jharm clenches his fists tightly, the Companions almost feeling the scowl spreading across his face. A boming laugh resonates within their minds
"I see though that She hasn't returned...........yet. Hmm....it is obvious what your next intended target is. I see little reason to further delay the inevitable grand battle longer then necessary. Come...the final crystal awaits"
A large dark portal manifests in the middle of the room. Jharm gazes at the portal and then around the room as if expecting something else to happen.
"I have no idea what you are planning...but thinking I would enter a portal of yours is insane."
The Companions can almost hear the sound of a sigh in their heads before the voice returns.
"Very well then..."
A giant shadowy hand suddenly comes out of the portal, swiftly moving towards the Seraphim and wrapping him in its grip before retreating back through the portal.
"Come along now...no need to delay things further."
As the "conversation" was going on, Vee gazed at the portal almost with a look of intrigue. As the "hand" dashes out, seizes Jharm and withdraws just as quickly she looks to the other Companions.
"Well, I don't know about ya'll but I find myself agreeing with "him" if it means getting some answers."
She moves up to the portal and pauses for a moment before stepping through. A moment passes before the rest of the Companions hear her mentally.
"Huh...well doesn't seem to be a trap but everybody important seems to be here. Jharm seems to be a bit...indisposed though at the moment."
"Ah yes....I....have returned!"
The Seraphim glances around, a faint hint of shock in his voice.
"It can't be...it's Him."
"Seraphim...it has been a long time has it not?"

« Last post by Veldanya Venalla on September 24, 2024, 10:42:19 PM »Well I had fully intended to get a post up tonight after work but 2nd day of working OT (on top of the regular part of the work day just being rather hectic/stressful) my brain is mush. My intent is to try tomorrow after work (though in full honesty, likely will be doing at least some OT then too but depends on how some things go at work) and if the neurons arent firing afterwards then might get pushed to thursday (cant do OT that day for RL reasons).

The vision sent to Nethalika is mostly just meant to spook her, it's not dangerous to her other than being terrifying. The real threat is the Right Hand of Gork trying to squeeze her shield and, if it breaks it, her underneath, and the Left Hand of Mork trying to smash the crystals.
