As the magic strikes an image of a great wolf appears, snarling with rabid anger and fury, launching itself at the two-headed monster with eager abandon. Beside the small druid, Twitchy scurries down the wall, eager to join the fray. A sickening crunch beats the large rat as Ba'aktar pulls himself off the corpse that he had landed on, charging with a primal fury at the massive creature that had provided such a fitting challenge for the warrior.

The half-orc beserker ignored the pain though, leaping forward and slashing across the creature's hip, spraying blood across the chamber and causing the creature to roar in pain.

Through the battle, over the noise, a single cry rings out, reverberating through the chamber and carried on the wings of magic until the massive creature is drawn to hear it: "[I]'ello 'ello 'ello, a funny thin' 'appened to me on tha way to the cultist's lair tonight.
