[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 700877, member: 2012"] [COLOR=DarkOrange][B]Interlude #8[/B][/COLOR] [I][B]Location Unknown:[/B][/I] “This is unacceptable!” The man known as The Father fumed in the darkened Overlords Chamber, as he watched the scene through the scrying mirror. “They will ruin everything if they reach Onaway before our plans come to fruition.” “I can dispatch a strike team of assassins immediately, Father.” Horz’bak, the Commander of Vespin’s Hand, relished the idea of killing such notable prey. His dog-like features bristled at the thought of ripping the Justiciar’s throat out with his jagged incisors. “It would be my honor to rid you of these vermin.” “Quiet dog!” Retan raised his voice to subdue the gnoll’s inane suggestion. “The master will decide their fate, not a cowering sycophant.

He restrained from growling at Retan as the fiendish dwarf cleric of Nether brushed by him. “Aye,” Retan stood resolute in the face of his master. “I will do my best to please you, Father.” “See that you do, as your position as commander of my legions is tentative at beast.
