"We weren’t exactly subtle."

"We did sorta blow up half the port. I don't think neither the denizens nor the White Hand are gonna forget that spectacle anytime soon." Rithrynn said with a smirk, the Night Elf seeming to be rather satisfied with the result. A good raid was always a pleasure, but this time she and her warband hadn't been raiding some boring, unimpotant Orcish encampment consisting of some primitive tents and a couple of wooden barricades, but a massive stone fortress located upon an imposing reef high over the sea!

"It's a story to tell the rest our sisters back home!"

"You should stay here, and make sure your friends don’t wander off and trash the Cathedral. Besides, Thea’ll be down here in a bit, I expect Liam went to get her."

"Don't worry!" Rithrynn smiled down at the little girl, ignoring the sounds of struggle that came from behind as back in the corridor, Aleena and Lithrielle were both locked in an armwrestling match on a scavenged table!
"At worst we'll only look around, maybe pay a tiny visit to storage. I hear they have holy wine in this place. I never thought alcohol could be holy, but apparently you guys have found a way to do it!"

*CRASH!*

The sound of wood breaking could be heard back in the corridor as the table Aleena and Lithrielle sat with just broke as Aleena had won the wrestling match and slung Lithrielle into the floor! The victorious sentinel quickly rose to her feet, extending her arms into the air as she let out a triumphant cry to the rest of her sisters, most of whom cheered back!

"I win again! Guess you'll just have to make do with a shrinking potion, sis!

"And I think a victory like ours deserves a little celebration!" Rithrynn smirked as she looked down at Liaena.
"We just wrecked Sherpa's fort and got out without a single casualty! I bet we made him mad!"

"Go back to our base, I have something to deliver before I can truly return." Serphia called out to the rest of the war sabers, just before the large cats thundered off through the narrow streets of Stormwind to race back towards Sharon's mansion at the promise of food, milk and shelter! Though any citizen of Stormwind who would wake up and look out their window to see a small, rampaging horde of war-cats charging down the streets would probably get a small heart attack, it did not worry the Captain.

Serphia on the other hand, riding her own large, black sabertooth; which she had lovingly named 'Silafeen', or 'Riptooth' in Common; turned to ride down another alley as she instead headed towards the large spires of the Cathedral in the distance.

In front of her on her saddle, she was carrying her unconscious and wounded Blood Elven companion, Rae'liel. Before she could return to the mansion, she would have to drop the Blood Elf off at a doctor. And in Stormwind, the doctors with the best advertisement were the ones occupying the massive Cathedral at the center of the city, with spires stretching far up into the sky to be visible from almost every direction!

... they were also the only doctors she knew about in Stormwind!

Riding along the road by the canal and into the Cathedral district, the streets were mostly empty as it was still early morning. Only the occasional housewife traveling to gather water could be seen in the street, whom all promptly hurried to the side when they saw the rampaging Night Elf on her big, black and menacing sabercat!

Even though she did not trust ape medicine, she felt it would be sufficient to treat the Blood Elf. Serphia did not wish to bring the Blood Elf back to the mansion. The last thing she wanted was to be seen by the rest of her warriors with a wounded blood elf that she wasn't already strangling to death! But Rae'liel had risked everything in a valiant but foolhardy assault on Honor's Watch, buying her and her warriors time to get away unscathed. It was, if nothing else, a gesture that Serphia felt honorbound to return. To do anything less would be shameful, especially when a lowly creature such as a Blood Elf had done so much for her!

Flying through the alleyways and between the houses like a wind of chaos, Serphia would soon arrive at he empty Cathedral square and race up the front steps of the Cathedral.

Terrified screams erupted as two young apprentices lunged out of the way to avoid being ridden down by Serphia as she charged in through the front doors of the Cathedral on Riptooth! Riding through the small corridor and into the open nave, Serphia would ride between the great columns and up to the front of the alter where she would turn around on the sabercat, before the Night Elven Captain would call out loudly to the rest of the hall.

"Is there a humie physician in this temple?!"
It's been 3 days since last IC post. The lord of change will not be pleased :P
WAIT WAIT WAIT! I played Soulstorm, and even the Dark Eldar said some spoopy things about that. Do I have to do some "Justified" execution?


If you do intend to try, I feel obligated to warn you that a Sniper Rifle is one of the worst weapons to try to use against a psyker with the power of divination ^_^

AND if you were to interrupt Adrianne during her cast, her powers might go out control and who knows what could happen to everyone in the corridor! :D

Zhevon would probably be very disappointed in James the split second before he was sucked into a mini-black hole!
Look on the bright side, guys. At least she didn't bring a flamer, like her more zealous sisters would have. We could have been fighting in a burning gallery by now! :P

On the other hand...

BEHOLD THE VORTEX OF DOOM!
"I do not have the ammo for this kind of prolonged combat."

"Then save them. I have my own ammo, and it's INFINITE!" Adrianne answered James as she literally screamed into the comm, not caring whether anyone else heard her.

The otherwise monotony of her daily life had finally been broken, and now she had an excuse to finally unleash her powers, foregoing any restraint! It was an exhilarating sensation to feel the powers of the warp course through her veins, and now; she did not have to contain any of it, but instead could let it all rip!

And there were a lot of statues. A lot!

The way the statues charged into battle could not really be described as a unified or coordinated charge, but rather as a loose collection of ravenous individuals who competed to get into the fray first - not at all above pushing or jumping over their destroyed comrades to reach the group!

The group would never have had the sheer firepower enough to keep them all at bay, if it had not been for Adrianne's destructive shockwave, and consecutive psychic blasts which she cast in front of them, pushing the statues away like a bunch of ragdolls!

As she unleashed another impenetrable wave of force energies, pushing six of the statues back and into the rest of their kin, one of them managed to slip around to the side, dodging the wave before leaping towards Adrianne! But as the ferocious statue flew through the air, its arms extended like claws and ready to pounce, it would suddenly stop in the middle of the air as Adrianne raised her staff towards it; catching it in a telekinetic grip right in the middle of the air!

The statue remained in the hair, hovering as it was stuck in Adrianne's psychic grip; before the psyker swiped her staff to the side, and flung the statue with it, and sent it flying through the corridor to crash into another one of its kin. The collision caused both of the statues to explode into a shower of fine pebbles and rocks, showering into the wall like a makeshift shotgun and cut the drapery apart!

"This is not going to work. We need something stronger!"

There were far too many statues in the room, and Adrianne feared that one of the statues would get lucky before they could ever manage to gun them all down!

"Hold them back. I'll create a vortex, but I'll need some time to finish the cast!" Adrianne called out to the rest of her team over her comm system as the psyker stepped back towards the group, before holding her staff up towards the center of the room.

Twenty feet ahead, in the center of the great corridor where the vast majority of the statues were still located; the clouds of dust began to swirl around a certain point in the air. The pull was subtle at first, but rapidly grew stronger as the seconds passed! While at first only the dust had been light enough to be pulled into singularity, soon the heavier rocks and loose tiles began to lift up into the air to spin around the miniature vortex as well! The nearest statues could feel a pull that was growing stronger around them, beginning to lift some of them up and pull them towards the center of the strange phenomenon. The visors between the eye sockets of her skeletal mask were now glowing bright purple once again, and anyone nearby could feel an overwhelming, almost sickening sensation that seemed to pulse out from her position like a twisted aura, amplifying whatever whispers that were already in the air a tenfold!

Adrianne was about to cast a Vortex of Doom!
that's quite an introduction xD

wonder if we'll see some friendly fire!
The moment Zhevon activated his null-rod next to them, it was as if a wave of emptiness suddenly washed over Adrianne! It was as if a dark hole had been created in her chest, an empty, spreading void that devoured all her will and vigor. Her instincts immediately screamed at her, urging her to get as far away from the item as possible, to run straight in the opposite direction.

Fortunately however, Zhevon would soon throw the rod in the direction of the stone daemons. It did not take long for it to pass out of effective range, and the moment it did, it was as if a pang of energies shot straight back into her body like a shot of adrenaline!

"No teleporting!"

"Of course, the inquisition never flees in the face of impossible odds." Adrianne remarked somewhat sarcastically as the psyker staggered back onto her feet. But when she finally managed to stand up and turned around, she was rather surprised by the sheer amount of daemonically possessed stone constructs that now filled the room, a large amount of which were coming straight for them!

"Appears that I have some demolition work to do. I can't say I ever liked the architecture of this place anyway. It's due a makeover!"

"Stand back!" Adrianne would soon instruct her allies, motioning for them to stand back with her left arm as she stepped forward towards the incoming horde of stone constructs.

"I'll send them straight back to the warp!"

The magical atmosphere in the room had changed completely ever since the statues had become enraged. Tainted, chaotic energies now flowed freely throughout the room, some of them entering her body as the statues closed in. Holding her staff forward with her right hand, she faced it towards the first line of statues as they came leaping towards her.

Closing her eyes, she took a moment to open herself up, drawing on the arcane energies in the room without hesitation.

Yet when she would raise her staff, it was as though all the sound in the room became muffled! The sound of shattering statues, cries and bolter fire disappeared completely - until Adrianne smashed the bottom of her staff down into the ground at her feet! As the bottom of her staff hit the floor, the muffling effect would evaporate from the room, only to be replaced by a thunderous shockwave that centered out from Adrianna's position!

The floor tiles were shattered to pieces, blowing gusts of dust up into the air! The grand windows that had once stood proudly on the wall were annihilated into millions of miniature pieces! Most of the shockwave traveled down the hallway, meeting the incoming wave of roaring statues! As the shockwave met the stone bodies of the first row, they were disintegrated into a rain of rocks that flew with the wave! The next wave of statues were blown away, tossed back into the other side of the hallway!

The destructive shockwave would dissipate almost halfway into the hall, leaving behind a wake of devastation in the hallway! The floor was ravaged, walls had been torn inside out, windows gone, and a thick cloud of impenetrable dust now hovered in the middle of the room.

But perhaps more curiously, the laws of gravity itself seemed to have been distorted at the area of the cast. At their end in the hallway, the stones thrown into the air by the shockwave did not fall, but instead remained in the air - floating around the group. Motes of dust swirled around the air, going both up and down with no clear direction or pull. Anyone standing in the area could feel a strange sensation, as if gravity was turned on and off around various limbs with complete randomness, causing arms and weapons to become light as feather one moment, and heavy as stone the next!

"That should slow them down! But the rest will soon be upon us!" Adrianne called back to Zhevon, fully expecting the remainder of the stone statues to charge out of the dust cloud any moment now! But she paused, turning instead to stare at Zhevon.

" ... the madwoman with the bolter at the other end, what should we do about her?"
"Don't look at me like I'm the source of all woes and ills of the world!" Aleena would complain, raising her arms in her defense at all the accusing stares that she was currently receiving. The Sentinel did not normally mind being the center of attention, such as when leading a glorious push or pulling off some awesome trick, but not when it seemed like people were blaming her for everything!

Aleena glared back, and at Vashi in particular whom she granted an absolutely venomous look! The Night Elven Magi on the other hand seemed blissfully ignorant of all the ire and salt that was being directed at her from her fellow sister, happily staring the other way. In fact, it could almost look as if Vashi was secretly enjoying the commotion, a small smirk having appeared on her blue lips.

Perhaps fortunately for Liaena's desperate plea for an ounce of subtlety, there would be no further drama in the group until they reached the meditation chambers beneath the Cathedral.

“…and if you interrupt anyone else, just throw them out”

"So, essentially like Sharon's house rules?" Rithrynn would infer, before gazing over at the rest of her sisters whom had wasted no time in going from door to door and checking out every room!

"This one's mine!" Aleena's voice could be heard loud and clear out across the corridor as the Sentinel had found a room that was ever so slightly bigger than the rest of the rooms, pointing at it and making sure that everyone got the message and would not trespass upon her rightfully-claimed territory!

"Hey, there's not enough rooms for me!" Lithriell would soon complain, having noticed that they were just short one room in the corridor.

"Do not worry, you can share quarters with whomsoever has the biggest room, Lithri! Isn't that right, Aleena?" Rithrynn would be swift to call back into the corridor. Lithriell's eyes jumped over to Aleena who was standing the doorway of her own room, the latter now glaring back at Rithrynn.

"No way! It's mine!"

"Don't worry, sister." Vashi would speak as she passed Lithriell, nudging her sister in the arm.
"There is plenty of room in Aleena's butt after I removed one of the past occupants. You'll fit in just fine!"

Vashi's mocking snicker would be joined by some laughter from the rest of the Sentinels in the corridor. The only ones who weren't laughing were Lithriell and Aleena, who had now locked eyes with each other!

In the meantime, Rithrynn had used the time to get aquainted with her modest living quarters. Although they were not anywhere near as luxurious(or currently trashed and messy) like the parts of Sharon's mansion which her warband had occupied; they definitely beat having to sleep out in the wilds, a thing she was quite familiar with.

Returning to the entrance, Rithrynn would lower herself towards Liaena, ignoring the small fight that was taking place behind her in the corridor.

"So what's the plan now, Li? Do you know where Sharon and Serphia currently is?"
New blood is indeed a good thing, sure as sure.


One can never have too much meat for the grinder :D

We haven't even reached the first fight yet, and already most of the party has been (at least) mentally shaken!

"Screwthis-screwthis-screwthis-screwthis-emperor dammit!"

Behind her mask, Adrianne was literally grinding her teeth together. The voices were mounting to an almost unbearable level, drowning out even her own thoughts! It became impossible to think, every attempt to visualize a topic or theme was immediately shattered by the chorus of nagging voices that came from every direction!

It was enough to almost drive her insane!

But then, without warning, they all ceased. The world became silent as a graveyard. And by the Emperor, it was a relief to hear nothing at all!

"Yes, at last! Peace! Oh blessed, I can hear my own thoughts again!"

However, what was unknown to Adrianne's mind was the fact that she had lost consciousness and collapsed right after crossing the last set of statues, and faceplanted right between the rest of the party standing at the doorway!

*BONK*

The psyker simply lay on the dusty floor for a couple of seconds, seemingly unconscious and not moving an inch. But just as quickly as she had been to pass out, her fingers lying limpy around her staff began to twitch before Adrianne reared her helmet to look up and around her at the rest of her group. The purple lights in her eyes seemed to have faded, replaced by the old darkness of her shaded visors behind the skull.

"Wait, what happened?"

After what seemed like a moment of confusion, Adrianne would shake her head.

"That hallway... wasn't so bad." She would eventually mutter through her mask, shaking her head. Fortunately for her, her helmet and armor had taken most of the brunt of her fall. What her armor had not managed to save however, was her pride...

"I hate blackouts!"
