Xallihion will watch from his throne as thirty of the Dwarves begin to descend into the mine tunnels through the orb of energy in his hand, [i][color=8882be]It looks like these insects are having an effect on their pitiful minds.[/color][/i] His fingers will close around the orb, shattering the magic as he stands up and walks over to a stone shelf along the right side of the small chamber, where two rolled up scrolls made of paper rest next to a polished thigh bone, the entire length of the bone has been carved with tiny runes and symbols in the language of Xallihion's race and a decent sized purple crystal set into the end of the bone where the hip would attach.

As Xallihion picks up the bone from the shelf, a small part of his power will reach out and touch the center of the crystal, bringing the power stored inside to life. [i][color=8882be]Good, the power is still full. If these dirty Dwarves are going to bother to come all the way down here, then it is the least I can do to welcome them.[/color][/i] Xallihion's four tentacles will move quickly as he thinks of the insects that are all over the tunnels and their far away master, [i][color=8882be]The master of those pests will need to be tested, and harshly, for making the Dwarves raise their guard. But now I have the chance of getting better and more slaves.[/color][/i]

Xallihion will place the bone wand into a holster he has on his right hip and will pick up the scrolls to place them in a small scroll case on his left hip as his mind reaches out to the five slaves already under his command, [i][color=8882be]Slaves, prepare for guests.[/color][/i] With his preparations complete, Xallihion will join the five dwarven slaves and will prepare the tunnel that the Dwarves are coming down with spells and runes to eat away at the minds of any that walk near them. At the farthest point from where the Dwarves are coming from, Xallihion will have his slaves hide in ambush, with Xallihion hiding farher back in a small alcove that would allow him to only be seen when he wants to be seen. [i][color=8882be]Good thing I am very patient.[/color][/i]
