-"... bound by blood..." It continued after Viggo's words and Dredges outburst.
Making a similar sidestep with its left leg, Dredge's ram was mostly avoided. But the knight had misinterpreted the ferocity and soon was in a struggle to dodge the numerous clawed swipes of his assailant.

-"...bound to serve..." With that the deamon had to hold his blade in only its right hand to keep his balance while leaning and dodging out of the repeated strikes and flails.

-"... no honour, no dignity..." Suddenly the knight stopped avoiding the attacks, and grabbed hold of Dredge's right wrist before it was to claw the knights helm. Dredge however snarled and spat just an inch from the 'face' of the knight, fangs dripping with saliva, with a swift motion he clawed the right shoulder of the knight.
The claws screeching across the deamonic steel, making an abhorrent sound of tortured souls, barely scratching the surface. It was here Dredge noticed the knight was as hot as an iron held in the fire and his wrist was singed by the heat.

-"...empty, like this suit of armour." With that the knight tossed Dredge in front of him, reassuming the classic statue pose with its sword downwards in front of it.

The knight was properly made aware of the second one as it addressed it.

-"Deamon..." it proclaimed before being assaulted by Dredge in a violent flurry of attacks.
Its eyeless face focused on the fast beast it was locked in combat with.

Hmm, question.
@Mae Will a deamon be able to tell human from vampire at a glance? As well as other supernatural beings that resemble humans?

Rulers of Night

As the frenzied vampire charged the now fully formed steel clad warrior, the holes in it's visor flared up with hellfire

-"I awaken." It manages to say with a strangely echoing voice before realising the imminent danger.
With a well timed movement of its right foot, it lets the initial strike of the bloodcrazed Dredge pass by him. A long telegraphed charge, easy to avoid. The question was if the maniacal beast of a man would be so obvious up close?

-"You cannot harm me." The deamon spoke once more, expecting some sort of answer. He hadn't even noticed Viggo.

Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

@TheDuncanMorgan yeah, that one among others were some of the pikemen images i found.

I guess it's simplest to just use that one, sure it's not actually halberdiers, but when there doesn't seem to actually be any images of what one wants, it might as well be best to go for second best.

You decide what pic you use, i actually like the one i found, but if it's an unpractical aspect ratio you should go for the second.
Also tried to find a suitably actiony epic music score, haven't found one i felt "this is the one" yet.

Formaroth: Battle for the Throne

I have no particular image in mind.
(I wish i'd chosen pikemen when looking for an image right now.)

After searching long and hard i found at least one image, i wanted a formation of them but noooo, ain't gonna happen.
So here's a single trooper, uniform colours might not be spot on but i don't care anymore.

With it's single dying moment, the portal sputtered and threw out a gleaming dagger which rotated fiercely before striking a tree about 7 feet up, embedding itself almost half the length of its blade.

It lit up with its inner fire and began leaking vast amounts of ash and embers. Not before long a billowing cloud had formed, which moved where it pleased and ignored the winds. It formed a humanoid and began swirling more and more intensely, before flashing up in a moment of flame revealing an armoured figure standing at attention holding his blade in front of him like a statue.

Not far off, he turned his head towards the two present in turn. Saying nothing.
Ash and embers kept swirling around the knight, the dagger went dark again.

"The knight"



Race: Deamon.

Appearance: A sentient suit of armour, engulfed in ash and flames which whirls around it even if no wind is present.
It holds a sickening black longsword with random prongs and protrusions along its edge, it looks menacing and has a cloud of black ash around it. The knight usually holds it by the handle in front of him with the blade down with both its hands.

Information: The knight is a bound deamon, its purpose to end lives now forcefully wrought to protecting them by a deamonologist with powerful wards and pentagrams. It cannot bear harm to humans, nor fight unless given command by one which the strict rules deem appropriate.
While a monstrously strong and powerful fighter and deamonic general, it will never fight. Barely even if attacked.
Being a deamonic steel armour, it is mostly invulnerable to normal means. But weapons designed to combat deamons and evil will work very well.
Being a deamon means it never eats, the wards will probably fade and the deamonic energy cannot sustain it forever. But it should be stable for the next thousand years and a day.
The sword "Azz Kaugra'mer" decays and fester the wound of anything it cuts, being a deamonic weapon it is nearly indestructible to normal means and never becomes dull.

The rules:
The deamon shall never harm a human being.
The deamon shall follow any commands given by a human being.
The deamon shall have a master, whose orders overrides the second but not the first rule.
The deamon shall never kill without order.
The deamon shall never destroy without order.
The deamon shall never harm without order.

The binding: The deamon is bound to a dagger, whoever holds the dagger is its master. The deamon cannot touch the dagger.
The dagger is a regular dagger with decor, but the evil of the binding makes black ash pour and swirl from between its parts. The pentagrams upon its surface shine red.

By destroying the dagger, the binding is broken and the deamon is free. The deamon does not say its name for if someone holds the name of a deamon that someone holds power over that deamon.
The binding lasts for a millenia and a day.

Oh i have no doubts every character in the world will hate him :P

So @Mae do i just write him in or should i wait for something?
Meh, i'll just write him in. Probably will interrupt the talking, but things should happen.
