[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 9067233, member: 2012"] Zenpher watches in silence as the beast approaches. It will be in range soon. The halfling Elite has never been this afraid in all his life. His people don't usually succumb to fear easily, but this... thing is truly horrifying. Unglar looks for a way to get closer to The Butcher, but the Sectarian Captain puts a hand on his shoulder. "The Exemplars will finish him. We need to find the commander. Tell him what we're going to be up against." The half-orc Elite nods. The two of them move through the fog looking for Commander Oakfirst. Unglar almost walks right past him. The commander whirls around to face what he thinks might be more Loyalists, but he stops when he sees the misty form of Sectarian. [COLOR=rgb(0, 111, 55)]"Ela?"[/COLOR] "Commander, good your alive. The roars you are hearing... the creature. It is a monstrous thing. It came out of the Renegade's portal. It attacked Wyndlasmere House... burnt it to the ground." [COLOR=rgb(0, 111, 55)]"Commander Monderand? Arcanus Detch?"[/COLOR] She shakes her head. "I don't know. The portal opened and it rushed us guarding the portal so fast that we were overrun.
