Entry 32 To Kill A General

by Vaz

We head into the sewers, I will get Master to his target unseen, unheard, undetected, eventually. Along the way we cross the remains of the Purge Machine, the Law Maker, Master, and the Soul Splitter all conclude some creature detonated one of the powerful crystals. The entrance to Thadrulex's tomb is grown over with the black fungus, they all stop to study, though Master is asking me to make haste. Ah one of these explosive devices is rigged in our path, I can bring the Wandering One to see this, and he motions this is not good, in our return I foolishly tap this with my tail, fucking place. My tail is short, or maybe shortened, I cannot remember, what is this... besides exhausting. (1 Level Exhaustion). We approach the entrance to the Labyrinth we escaped from, the Master at my side we move slowly. The Wandering One saves me the trouble of climbing through, another of these mines exist. We make our way back to the laboratory, and can hear some of are old acquaintances. The Wandering One looks around the corner and asks all sorts of ridiculous questions about anatomy. Master goes to cast the vial of biomancer fluid, but he graciously uses the ichor instead allowing me to consume the elixir, restoring what I have lost (removes exhaustion, tail is back).
 
Master gives the signal to attack with ranged only, the Wandering One sends fire into the room, and butterflies from the Skin Changer, I don't understand this plan. Regardless its chattering is annoying, time to make this quiet (5/7 Ki). The Soul Splitter knows better and just tries to eliminate this mass of flesh. In battling this beast, it retreats showing an egg of my people, which I recover quickly and pull back from. (4/7 Ki) Instantly I see a time, a long time ago when dealing with the Madness of Port Gambit, a time when the Ward the failed, and chaos took over. It hatches, clearly meant as a hunter and considers me bonded, this will be the first Viashino.
 
Coming to the edge of the battle we all charge ready to end these enemies which stand in our way. These casters must be silenced (2/7 Ki), and it seems the construct is also keen on their destruction.
