[QUOTE="talien, post: 4442828, member: 3285"] [b]The Seventh Sin: Part 4 – The Emissary[/b] Vlad kicked open the double doors to the small warehouse. Great heaping piles of sacks and barrels greeted them. “All right,” shouted the Milandisian. “Where is she?” A terrible, ropy cough echoed all around them. “Well, you made it,” rasped the voice. “Excellent. I knew you would come. You were almost too late.” “Show yourself!” shouted Beldin. The coughing stopped. “You’re probably wondering where your friend is. I’ve taken her; sold her, actually. To a cult. And you’ll never get to her in time. Just as you brought a plague upon the people of Ymandragore, I’ve brought about the single best way I know to make you and your kind suffer. Tell THAT to your legionnaire friend!” Then he began chanting a spell. Vlad froze. “I can’t move!” Beldin dove to the side. “I can’t see him!” “Nor can I,” said Sebastian. “But we can fix that.” He pulled a wand out of the folds of his robe and pointed where he last heard the voice. Spiraling, wet strands of webbing blanketed the ceiling. Someone shouted a curse above them. A struggling form could be seen, distinct in the layer of webbing. “He’s on the ceiling!” shouted Beldin. Sebastian bared his fangs. “Not for long. [FONT="Impact"]Incendiaries globus![/FONT]” A ball of flames engulfed the webbing, setting the warehouse ablaze. “[FONT="Impact"]Fulgur sagitta![/FONT]” A bolt of lightning crackled from above them, surging into Beldin. The dwarf fell backwards, smoke spiraling from the tips of his beard. “Get down!” shouted Sebastian. “[FONT="Impact"]Incendiaries globus![/FONT]” Another burst of flame hit the ceiling. There was a yelp as someone landed a pile of sack. A dust cloud puffed from the floor. Slowly, a man’s body faded into sight. Sebastian made his way over to him. He grabbed the man by his singed robes. “Who are you? Where is Ilmarė?” “Finally,” said the Ymandrake. “Just as I had hoped. I should thank you for the privilege. Now let me return the favor.” Vlad shook off the enchantment and joined Sebastian. “I recognize you. You’re the Commandant!” The Commandant’s body began to convulse. “That disease you left on Ymandragore…it’s quite virulent.” He began coughing uncontrollably. Beldin dusted himself off as he approached. “I don’t like this.” “It seems that when I had returned to pray at the altar, something was ravaging all of Ymandragore. When I discovered who it was that had deposited that particular disease…well let’s just say the Sorcerer-King sent me to deliver a message.” “Message?” asked Sebastian. “What message?” “We were unable to find a cure,” said the Commandant. “So we’re letting the disease run its course…by sending every infected sorcerer to your doorstep.” Vlad grabbed Sebastian and Beldin by the shoulders and shoved them towards the entrance. “Run!” Sebastian half-stumbled there. “What?
