[QUOTE="Archon Basileus, post: 7394132, member: 6855545"] As the elevator shakes once more, both Thulwar and Tink manage to secure it, using their available limbs to hold the monstrous shuttle still. Both the prince and the warforged hold on to the walls, as Embla carries both the child and Lyllie up - the first against her chest, the second laying down over her shoulders. The miners follow close as the pacing resumes... Above, Harfik listens to the dreagging sounds coming closer and closer. A set of lights suddenly flicker into life, but still the monk remains covered by the drywalls. A moan comes from the other side - slightly human, but unrecognizable. Whatever comes doesn't come alone, as something else approaches with it. Harfik's senses tell him that the heroes don't have much time - half a minute at most, before the dragging sounds hit his hiding spot and the elevator's door. He overhears his companions climbing, and his concerns increase even more as the hummind sound from below suddenly reaches a high, as if exploding in rage.... Down the shaft, as soon as the heroes prepare themselves for the climb, the elevator's roof explodes in blinding light! The sound of a potent explosion fills the air as the top plaques of the shuttle fly upwards, swinging and cutting everything in their paths - fortunately, no one stands in their way! Slightly dazzled, the heroes contemplate as four angelic creatures rise from the holes! They're clad in full plates, gleaming in blue and red, crowned by closed helmets that hide their faces. Their round wings spill blue flames as they ascend, carrying thunder crossbows like the one Yttrian holds. Never before have the heroes seen such majesty and precision as the powerful figures rise to face them! Embla turns as far as she can to face the creatures. Despite her greater size and stronger build, Lyllie feels as she shivers at the sight! Her eyes nearly come to tears as the entities rise their crossbows, vivid and shining with magic. With a gasp, she tries to say something, but only her second attempt reaches out for the heroes, allowing them to know what she means... With fear in her voice, she cries in a drowsing, dragged voice... "TERAPHIM..." Aanzu immediately recognizes that stance. They aren't here to talk. Lyllie's eyes are set on the thunderous weapons, ready to scorch everything in their paths with a ray that only the skies - or powerful magic - could produce. As for Icosa, the machine-like aspect of the armor hides flesh, he knows it, but this flesh is fearless, as he also knows. Thulwar can sense the purpose of those contraptions, made to kill instantaneously. Harfik captures the blue hue coming from below, and the sound of the crossbows adds to the tension - the same as Yttrian's, with which he's grown familiar by now. The Teraphim are here.
