[QUOTE="La Bete, post: 4769306, member: 6079"] [b]From Tiny Acorns, Part 1 - the view from the trenches[/b] With a horrific shriek, Kalarel was wrenched back through the portal by the hentai-tentacle demon, his screams presaging the eternity of torment his foul Master would subject him to. Only the desperate or insane ally themselves with Orcus, and only the foolish fail him. "Righto" said Des. "Time to clean up and we're out of here. Nice backswing Cass - it's almost like you'd practised that!" "Sounds good to me" agreed Fangorn - however the post-combat chit-chat was interrupted by a unearthly groan from Sabbat Fau - he had the mirror in one hand and had collapsed to one knee, pale (well, paler) and muttering to himself. "Master - what ails you?" cried Splug in despair. "The mirror, the mirror....." whispered Sabbat Fau "I have seen.... terrible things." "No, master! Stay with Splug! You complete me!" sobbed the goblin, clutching Sabbat Fau's legs. [I]He has seen his doom, thought Elewanen. His trafficking with Outside will, eventually, result in the forfeiture of his sanity and his soul. Hmmm.
