[QUOTE="Cerebral Paladin, post: 4475794, member: 3448"] Sideh later reported having completed most of his preparations in the village to slow and harass the enemy should they break through the Shadowline. His efforts were not without some cost—a large creature that he described as nine foot tall and four foot wide erupted from the earth while he was constructing traps, and tore one of the mercenaries in half before crouching and growling in a menacing manner. Sideh believed that it was a bear tainted with chaos, although he was not certain. Fearing that it would kill more of the mercenaries, Sideh calmed the beast down and redirected it toward the Shadowline. In the best case, it would destroy some of the enemy, and in any event, it would no longer be a threat. The beast carried off a potion of the mercenary’s carcass with it. Sergeantanis ultimately won the battle at the Dragonhold. Unfortunately for our purpose, the slaughter was not as complete as we had hoped-- the lich quieted the remaining fighting and forced the survivors to agree to serve Sergeantanis. The lich then hunted down and killed the people we had warned. We realized that they had fled, rather than preparing for the battle with Sergeantanis. We believed that Sergeantanis did not realize that we sent word warning his prey, and he thus remained likely to look the other way from our future efforts. More troops arrived later on the fourth day. On our side of the line, the pachak joined us, and we quickly set them to work guarding the tower and preparing against an assault. Within an hour or so of the pachak’s arrival, a cavalcade of great hairy spiders, mounted by wild human women with significant chaotic features, rode up to the demonic camp. The spider cavalry were led by a female drider-like creature, though she had the body of a scorpion rather than that of a spider. The demons treated her as a great leader of Shadow-- even Lord Hisiii grudgingly nodded profound respect for her, while the others in the encampment, including Lord Sarkany, rushed over to give reports to her. [Meanwhile, Spring cast [i]comprehend languages[/i] and read the book. The book was a list of names. He concluded that each was the name of a demon that could be summoned using the book.] The following day, roughly four thousand troops joined our defense in the evening. They were well-disciplined and equipped and were accompanied by several priests of Paranswarm, as well as a single minor priest of Glor’diadel.
