[QUOTE="Wrahn, post: 1797037, member: 9191"] Dimitri~ As Dimitri act as a conduit for Pelor’s healing, there is a slight feeling of distortion. Long experience tells him this is the work of powerful magic, perhaps something big teleporting in. He pauses, looking deeper into the darkness. If something is coming from these old ghoul warrens, it probably isn’ t good. He looks backs to the boy and finds him gone. This seems less disturbing than it should, the scene begins to take a surreal quality to it, almost like he was dreaming. Before he can begin to contemplate the ramifications of this, a bundle of cloth is pushed down the steps. As he steps out into the sun he sees a warrior, dressed in chain and fur, wielding a massive axe that distorts space around it slightly. He seems to be completely unaware of Dimitri’s presence. He turns his attention back toward (the village), looking intently at something. Dimitri follows his gaze and sees the village, or the desiccated corpse of what used to be (the village). Even that wasn’t right, as he recognized some of the layout, but it was larger than it should have been. Still, that wasn’t the most disturbing thing. Closings in fast on the warrior’ s position were three demons. There were three of them, mid-powered demons, Vrocks. Dimitri watch with morbid fascination as they descend on the hapless warrior. He finds that, despite his desire to help the man, he is unable to act, like a dream, he is only an observer here. The man is obviously battle hardened and stands his ground, fighting three opponents, especially ones with mobility advantage on you is never easy, but the man holds his own. When one of them breaks off from the fight and starts sniffing around by you, the man takes advantage of the situation to finish one off. Dimitri is almost certain he can smell him, if not see him, and when he lunges forward, he can not help but defensively moving to the side, but it wasn’t Dimitri he was after, it was the bundle that had been shoved down the stairs. The demon grabs it and screeches in victory, ripping the cloth away exposing a baby which begins to scream in terror. Before the vrock can rip the child to shreds, an axe, the warrior’s axe takes it in the head. While Dimitri had been distracted, he had finished off the other demon and threw his axe at the last one. The warrior was bruised and battered, cut in numerous places, but victorious. But his expression does not display any relief or celebration, just grim determination, or perhaps resignation. His expression seems unusual considering he defeated the demons, but then an answering scream resounds, this time hundreds of times louder. The man does not pause, but grabs his axe and the child and begins running. Looking back toward the village, the horizon seems darkened. At first it seems like a very dark bank of clouds, but as it gets closer, it is perhaps like a swarm of locust. As it closes, Dimitri’s dark suspicion is correct. It is a swarm of demons, of every imaginable variety. There are too many to fight, too many to hide from. There are enough demons there to scourge the world. [/QUOTE]
