Amberlei nods, beyond furious at this recent turn of events. So many good people lost, Some of their best guards, along with two of the cults strongest healers. They would make that witch pay, her torture when they caught her wouldn’t end for weeks, months, years. Whimpers of agony, and cries of anguish filled the bowl they were trapped in. Those soldiers still on their feet moved to do first aid on those who were in the most critical condition.
Amberlei turns to Varicar grinning, *They hurt like a son of a… but they aren’t all that deep. our surviving priestess got her shield up before to much damage could be done. Still feels like my flesh is splitting every time I move watcher." she states when asked about her injuries, she was hurting but she had been through much worse and pressed on. “As for going after that wretched woman. I would drag myself along by my hands, if both my legs were missing, just to run my sword through her accursed heart.” Amberei says, her voice a low growl. She agreed that there was no time to waste, they longer spent down here, the further away she got.
Amberlei watches Varicar as he flips and land on the ledge that the Woman had been standing on. Had the situation been less dire she might of muttered something about show offs. Instead she rushes across the room, jumping over bodies. With her first heroic leap she lands on a small outcropping of rock. the second has her landing next to Varicar. The two of them move silently down along the stone corridor, keeping to the walls. As the stealth along it becomes apparent that the passage in widening. Soon they can both see where it opens into a larger area. Amberlei doesn’t trust just walking out into the room. She holds up her hand to stop Varicar. "I think this might be the time to use some of the Tinkerers toys. The tinkerer was a Gnome that built life like machines that could be used for spying. Reaching into one of her pouches (Silently thanking the mages for the protection on them,) she pulls out a perfect replica of one of the thousands of cave spiders that are seen skittering about. She trace the rune bringing it to life. It twitches in her hand, before flipping over onto its legs. Leaping to the ground it skitters out into the larger room.
Amberlei pulls out two pairs of goggles, one fro her and the other for Varicar. Passing on pair to him she slips the other set onto her face. it takes a moment for the picture she is viewing to come in. now she is seeing through the eyes of that lettle mechanical spider. The room itself is about half the size of the one they were just in. However there have to be at least seven or more passage ways spidering off in different directions. As she watches the room begins to rumble slightly. Coming out of one of the passageways lumbers a massive Trogg like creature. Standing Amberlei would barely reach mid thigh on the monstrosity. Behind him are two robed humanoid figures, and about a dozen normal Troggs.
“I cannot believe that we’ve been tasked with the menial labor of gathering the heads of The Watcher, and his dog.” One of the cloaked figures griped. “ha, ha, that if there’s anything left of them.” the second laughs “I wonder how the other attacks are going?” “The ones against the acolytes chambers and the High Magus’s room? I think we will have plenty of head to line the Mistress’s chamber after today.” Laughing they make their way across the chamber toward the opening where The Watcher, and his Dog lay in wait.
