Wrath and Duty 1

	Staffen_GM	IT IS THE 41st MILLENNIUM, AND THERE IS ONLY WAR.
	Staffen_GM	Across the Jericho Reach, mankind fights a desperate war for survival.
	Staffen_GM	From near and far, the Immortal Emperor's Adeptus Astartes come to join under the black banner of the Deathwatch,
	Staffen_GM	United in struggle against the enemies of mankind at-large, but most especially the ever-present enemy without: Xenos threaten the Jericho Reach from all sides.
	Staffen_GM	You are such warriors of the Deathwatch: members of the fledgling Kill-team Palladium, displaced by need to the aide of the Inquisition.
	Staffen_GM	Your travels with Inquisitor Eveline Ebbesen have taken you to orbit over the forgeworld Avestris. Your ship, the dark-hulled frigate Gaetia hangs in orbit over a dark, swirling storm on the planet below.
	Staffen_GM	You have been gathered by the Inquisitor for your first formal briefing on your objective within a dimly-lit room. In the center a hololithic generator displays a slowly spinning image of the planet below.
	Staffen_GM	Quietly standing in the corner, a dour mortal man in black fatigues stands at attention.
	Staffen_GM	And before you is the Inquisitor herself.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	scans the room
	Squire-Axel	Looks upon the Inquisitor, wondering just how powerful the mortal is
	Invictus	looks through one of his Toems attached to his armor, his force sword attached side.
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	stood quietly, staring forward calmly, with a simple and warm smile. A Servo-skull floating at her right side, looking otherwise harmless for the time being. Hands clasped at her front, she would appear to be calm, collected and otherwise.. Harmless? Then she spoke. "Greetings, Kill-team Palladium." A rather gentle, cheerful tone would greet them.
	Priad_Milionias	Priad is solemn, as he stands before the Inquisitor, resplendent in his new midnight black armor. His helmet is clipped to his side and his head is unadorned but for two service studs, close cropped black hair, and two green eyes not unlike the color of the Ithakan sea. He proudly wears the chapter's colors and symbol of the coiled snake on his right pauldron. His left arm holds the...
	Priad_Milionias	...Narthecium of his calling as an Apothecary.
	Priad_Milionias	"Greetings Inquisitor." Priad replies back, his voice as solemn as his look.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"What is it we are here to accomplish?"
	Draco	stands tall and holding his bolter. His armor is speckled with dark red splats. Like a Statue, he's still.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	The Knight stands tall, his squire by his side.
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	continues, giving a rather polite bow of her head. "I am Inquisitor Eveline Ebbesen. I will be your guiding force in our mission. Lord-Emperor be praised." Raising her head, she'd then straighten up and speak, a much more stern tone. "Avestris. The manufactory world. It is one that is primarily tasked with the production of ammunition for the Acheros Salient of the Achilus Crusade."
	Invictus	sets his Tome aside to look to the Inquisitor.
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	"There have been reports of abnormalities in these past weeks, in Dathamir Hive- Home of the Winter Palace of Avestris's planetary Govenor. It has been reported that the majority of the populace are acting irregular. There have been violent outbursts and riots all over the city in question. To the extent that the entirety of the work force has stopped productions, and any efforts to control...
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	...these riots have been met with violent failure."
	Priad_Milionias	"The PDF are not enough to quell them?" Priad asks.
	Draco	"Serviatorization of the population will fix this issue."
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"Little surprise."
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"This is hardly an issue worth our time, however. Let the morals deal with their petty squabbles,"
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	quietly brings her hands up to take up a dataslate, before continuing. As she spoke, she'd start to slowly pace back and forth, her Servo-skull floating in time. "The PDF have been exceptionally targeted. The entire city is acting as one.", she'd respond, then continue. "There's been reports from Astropaths within the area that there's been 'immaterial irregularities' in the region. There's...
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	...been indications of possibilities of warp-cult interference, but results from investigations have been inconclusive thus far. In fact, four of Theta-3's six members were also afflicted with this anomalous behavior. Ultimately we lost contact with Theta-3. The last transmission we received was 'Hurts inside. Let it out.'"
	Draco	"Let /it/ out?"
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"A world in rebellion..." Herbert says to himself.
	Squire-Axel	"Master, mortals cannot deal with many issues effectively, it may be best we intervene."
	Priad_Milionias	"It stinks of something more than the alien. Perhaps it is indeed a worthy undertaking after all. Do you have no more information beyond this, Inquisitor?"
	Draco	think to himself "This will be Gantor Terentes all over again."
	Invictus	"Is there any more information on these warp-cult's?"
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"The Iron Hands concern themselves with the deciphering of a mortal's mad ramblings now, do they?" Herbert says with scorn
	Draco	"It was a rather unusual saying." He replies back to Herbert.
	Squire-Axel	"Master this could be serious." he says, with the slightest hint of disdain
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	took in a slow, deep breath before she'd begin. "The threat assessment is as follows.."
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	"The behavioral abnormalities and progressive pattern of escalation suggests the spread of a plague. It is possible that this is an outbreak of a heretofore unknown strain of the Sinner's Plague. How the Sinner's Plague came to Avestris from Calixis is unknown. No observation of substantive mutation has yet been made in the revolting population."
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	"The warp distortions reported by astrotelepathic staff are a major clue to the nature of this situation. It is possibly the interference of a cult."
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	"Certain aspects of this case are reminiscent of the advanced stages of a Genestealer infestation and cult infiltration, but again: no genestealrs have been reported in the area, nor have the usual patterns of cult behavior been observed. Genestealer infestation has been confirmed on nearby worlds, however, leaving this possible. This would also explain the disturbance in the Immaterium."
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	"A very real possibility is that a latent psyker is amongst the population."
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	"It is also possible that this may be a late stage of infestation by Psychneuein. No such creature has been reported, however."
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"Then we are here to purge the populace of the filth."
	Draco	Thus removing the weakness."
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	"In addition to this, there might be possibility of Warp Eldar being involved."
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"Eldar..." Herbert growls
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"We must make planetfall at once."
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	"Indeed."
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	heads for the lighter bay
	Draco	"Rather not the Xenos to live."
	Priad_Milionias	"Cousins to the foul primuls, hmm, indeed. The xenos deserve only death." He nods.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"Squire!"
	Staffen_GM	The mortal man in the corner presses his finger against his comm-bead.
	Staffen_GM	"Milady Inquisitor, there has been a development."
	Squire-Axel	"Yes master." he says, following behind the Knight
	Invictus	looks over at the man.
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	looks towards Sergeant Pravin, before speaking. "What is it?"
	Staffen_GM	"An apparent mutiny is underway in the quarantine lines outside Dathamir and there is now full-scale fighting amongst the PDF," says Sergeant Pravin. "Additionally, a renewed rush of of hivers has been detected making for the blockade."
	Invictus	"Strange time wouldn't you say."
	Priad_Milionias	"This infestation runs deeper than told. Our work is cut out for us." Priad smiles grimly.
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	"If it is an infestation. It is our task to determine and eliminate this."
	Staffen_GM	"I'll assemble the troops in the hangar immediately," Pravin says, and exits.
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	frowned, then nodded. "Let's proceed after Knight-Brother Herbert. We need to make ready and plan accordingly."
	Draco	"Indeed, Inquisitor."
	Priad_Milionias	"Of course Inquisitor. Are you coming down with us as well?" He queries to the woman.
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	"I am."
	Squire-Axel	following behind Herbert "Should we not wait for our Allies?"
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"Eldar, Axel."
	Squire-Axel	"That is unconfirmed."
	Staffen_GM	As Herbert arrives in the hangar bay, he finds a fire-team of black-clad Storm troopers waiting, with a Tech-Priest servicing a large gunship.
	Priad_Milionias	"Very well." He follows after the Knight, placing his own helm on with a hissing of internalizing pressure.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"Make preparations to depart immediately," Herbert calls, as he approaches the gunship.
	Invictus	follows behind Priad, as he prepares himself mentally for the battle ahead.
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	spoke up while the group would move to catch up- as it may as well be mentioned. "As of this current time Dathamir has been isolated for several weeks. Initially, large groups of city residents were known to attack quarantine lines in waves, but this behavior has since ceased and the inhabitants have dispersed within the city. Attempts to establish a foothold within the city proper have been...
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	...met with violent resistance, and have failed. Strange activity has been detected in the area of the Datha HEOP, however: orbital surveillance has detected Dathamirians congregating in the area. No ground team has been able to survey the area.
	Draco	follows behind Priad. His bionic legs thumping loudly.
	Staffen_GM	The tech-priest glances past him. His vox-caster squeels as he activates it, possibly for the first time in days. ++The only one with authority to command this craft is Inquisitor Ebbesen. Please step away from the passenger bay.++
	Priad_Milionias	nods along.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"Ready the craft, or see it commandeered."
	Staffen_GM	The tech-priest seemingly ponders this for a moment before replying: ++This vehicle cannot be made fully ready for activation without my maintenance. You are not Inquisitor Ebbesen and I will not comply to your command.++
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	Herbert steps closer to the cogboy.
	Squire-Axel	"We could merely wait for the Inquisitor.
	Squire-Axel	"
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"You conspire with the Eldar."
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	speaks up as she arrives. "Locus-Delta-XVII, Please make ready for departure. We must leave immediately."
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"You wish to delay the annihilation of the Empe--" Stops, as he hears the Inquisitor.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"Listen to your Master."
	Invictus	enters the hanger just behind the inquisitor.
	Staffen_GM	The tech-priest, having stood his ground before Herbert, bows at the Inquisitor's words, and hastens his maintenance. ++The vehicle's mechanisms shall be blessed for animation within 180 seconds, Inquisitor.++
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	"..I respect your eagerness to engage the task at hand, but I must request you leave my Tech-Priests alone, Brother Herbert."
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	"Thank you, Locus."
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"You called us, Inquisitor."
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	"I did. I also hold expectations of you. I chose you for a reason."
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"And in your infinite wisdom, /inquisitor/, what benefit is there in delaying my ability to destroy the Emperor's enemies?"
	Priad_Milionias	"My brother has a penchant for the ultimate destruction of the Eldar, Inquisitor. I would feel the same if the vileness of the primul blighted Avestris."
	Squire-Axel	"A knight will surpass any expectations you may have Inquisitor."
	Draco	[Techna-Lingua] "By the Omnissiah, the fleshbags are noisy."
	Staffen_GM	Sergeant Pravin quietly orders his men aboard.
	Staffen_GM	The tech-priest screeches something back at Draco.
	Draco	[Techna-Lingua] "Indeed."
	Invictus	"You know it is not always wise to charge head first into battle without a proper plan."
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	simply smiled. "There can be benefit to proper planning and tactics. Since we have the time. I should inform you since you left- There has been additional reports arriving. "An apparent mutiny is underway in the quarantine lines outside Dathamir and there is now full-scale fighting amongst the PDF. Additionally, a renewed rush of of hivers has been detected making for the blockade."
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"Inaction, Inquisitor, is what allows mortals to turn into beasts in this manner."
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"Get me planetside."
	Draco	"The mechanical beast will soon awaken, Herbert. We will be able to leave soon."
	Staffen_GM	The tech-priest emits a chime. ++The craft is worthy of travel.++
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	"The influence of this source is spreading. There is no ground-reports. We have a full city of violent uprising acting as one, aggressively against the PDF." She continues, promptly ignoring Herbert's statement of inaction. "We have no sightings yet of a specific cause, and I believe it would be best we first make way to the core of the city. Via underground tunnels."
	Draco	"Speaking of."
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	steps towards the gunship, unsheathing the ceremonial sword on his side.
	Draco	"Shall we move, /brothers/ ....and Inquisitor?
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	Once he takes his seat, Herbert brings the sword close, point to the deckplate, pommel just under his chin.
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	"Board and prepare to engage. We will not waste a moment longer."
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"Ave Imperator Dominae Sanctus..." the Knight begins his prayer.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"sed Divinae Institutionae formatti. Progegem, cempar suggitem requiescat et salve Terra et Kleistus..."
	Invictus	nods and takes a seat on the gunship, across from Herbert.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"Siccut et nos Kaiser von Salen formatti sempra. Imperator Rex im Terra nos Preatoris Celestae perpetuum bellum Xenos ex per furorae Teutonicorum."
	Squire-Axel	"sed Divinae Institutione formatti. Protegem, cempar suggitem requiescat et salvae Terra et Kleistus. Siccut et nos Kaiser von Salen formatti sempra. Imperator Rex im Terra nos Preatoris Celsetae perpetuum bellum Xenos ex per furorae Teutonicorum. Für dein ist das Reich, und die Kraft und die Herrlichkeit im Ewigkeit… Dominatus." Axel repeats in unison
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"Für dein ist das Reich, und die Kraft und die Herrlichkeit im Ewigkeit"
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"Dominatus," Herbert says, making the sign of the aquila, before sheathing his blade.
	Priad_Milionias	boards the gunship, boots clanking upon the metal deck plates. He takes his own seat in a crash harness nearer to the cockpit.
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	took her place, settling into her ship as she would remain quiet. Listening to Herbert and Axel's prayer.
	Draco	enters the gunship and takes a seat.
	Staffen_GM	++Go with the grace of the Omnissiah,++ calls the tech-priest as he steps away from the vehicle.
	Staffen_GM	Moments later, the pilot takes off.
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	quietly took out a small slip of parchment, a letter, reading over it quietly as she awaited takeoff. Her lips tightened slightly as she read quietly.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	As the team descends, Herbert remains silent in meditation.
	Staffen_GM	The craft begins to tremble as it enters the storming atmosphere.
	Invictus	"Together we will smite the enemies of the Emperor, return order to the planet, and bring down his will on all who appose him. Ave Imperator."
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"Ave Imperator"
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	"Ave Imperator."
	Priad_Milionias	"Ave Imperator." He intones.
	Squire-Axel	"Ave Imperator."
	Draco	"Ave Imperator."
	Staffen_GM	As the gunship passes through the cloud barrier, it passes into a raining hell of smoking fires and blinking las-fire. Thousands of bodies rush crash against makeshift walls as cannon and armor fire back.
	Staffen_GM	++Inquisitor, there's nowhere safe to put down!++ calls the pilot. ++Where should I deploy?!++
	Squire-Axel	looks to Herbert with knowing eyes
	Invictus	looking out one of the port windows, "There is a solid spot where the hivers are not hitting nearly as hard. Though there are soldiers fighting amongst themselves there." Invictus say.
	Invictus	points it out the location to the Inquisitor.
	Priad_Milionias	"I see it as well, to your 7 o'clock pilot."
	Staffen_GM	The pilot brings the craft around, and swiftly descends.
	Staffen_GM	The Storm Troopers swiftly deploy, setting up firing positions to cover the others aboard.
	Staffen_GM	Beyond the gunship's bay, PDF troopers fight amongst themselves. Several of the combatants seem strange -- several are convulsing, others move as if their extremities are numbed.
	Staffen_GM	They move like men possessed.
	Squire-Axel	moves like lightening, leaping from the gunship and slamming into the nearest combatants
	Staffen_GM	The further group of mutinying PDF slackly opens fire upon the Inquisitor's Storm Troopers.
	Squire-Axel	Slams into the mass of bodies, cleaving through many of them with his tearing blade.
	Staffen_GM	One of the Storm Troopers is cut down by incoming fire.
	Staffen_GM	The mutinying bodies pool around Axel.
	Staffen_GM	Their limp attacks fail to trifle him.
	Squire-Axel	laughs in the face of their futile attacks
	Squire-Axel	"Join me Master, show them fury!"
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	frowns, taking position as she'd unholster a bolt gun before taking aim and opening fire upon the mutineers
	Invictus	stands up and summons the power of smite and zaps on of the mutineers with a bolt of lightning, making him explode.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	Herbert takes in the situation before him. His veteran warrior's instincts analyzing every detail at once. Every detail, including that found on the Inquisitor's weapon. It reveals a part of the Inquisitor's identity that suddenly makes the mortal more... interesting.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	He puts away the thought for later, and with a blast of his jump-pack joins the fight.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	Master joins apprentice, ripping to shreds over a dozen of the rebellious mortals.
	Draco	fires into the mutineers in the distance in semi-auto bursts. He kills 6 of the traitors.
	Priad_Milionias	walks down the ramp, noting how his brothers and their inquisitorial allies have already engaged the ravenous, traitorous hordes. Noting Axel and Herbert is engaging the first horde he deigns to engage the second. He primes a frag grenade and tosses it into them.
	Staffen_GM	The PDF, seeing the arrival of the Space Marines, rally...
	Staffen_GM	With marginal success.
	Priad_Milionias	A satisfied smile crosses his face, not that one could see it beneath his helmet, as he's rewarded by a furious explosion that rips and throws bodies out of the horde of traitors. "Ithaka guides my aim."
	Staffen_GM	A mass of fevered hivers come charging from the combat elsewhere -- brandishing grenades.
	Squire-Axel	continues to dice the poor mortals, leaving no man alive
	Staffen_GM	The remaining mutineers drop their guns and pull their grenades from their belts. Tearing the pins away, they stumble towards the Kill-team.
	Staffen_GM	They charge for Invictus!
	Staffen_GM	The grenades detonate uselessly before they reach the Librarian, however.
	Invictus	watches at the mutineers explode.
	Draco	"Weak Fools."
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	frowned, then turned to face the oncoming horde of hivers. Bringing her hand up, she would point forward as she'd let out a booming yell. "Stand fast and let not another brother fall! Show these weak fools who they are fighting against!! ATTACK!"
	Staffen_GM	++Yes, Inquisitor!++ shout the Storm Troopers in unison.
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	+Pilot, take control of the autocannons, open fire and hold steady aim.+
	Staffen_GM	++Affirmative,++ replies the gunship pilot.
	Invictus	turns to face the approaching hoard of hivers and summons the power of the warp to kill three of them.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	Herbert looks at the oncoming horde for a moment, contemplating his next move.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	Noting the explosive, suicidal intent of the hivers charging in, Herbert moves back towards the rest of the Kill-Team, away from the horde.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	Mid-air a single shot from his bolt pistol is fired in spite.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	lands near the Inquisitor.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"From what Order?" he inquires
	Staffen_GM	The bolt pistol-fire fells a couple of the mindless hivers.
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	"Now is not the time for that. We will discuss this later, Brother Herbert."
	Invictus	"Something is wrong with the approaching horde of Hivers, I feel as if what it is craves for a form, also you are right Inquisitor, the world's immaterium is in disarry."
	Staffen_GM	As they charge forwards, the hivers detonate their grenades -- exploding into a cloud of gore.
	Staffen_GM	But from the cloud emerges four shapes.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	unsheathes his second sword, an ornate ceremonial blade of his own forging.
	Staffen_GM	Taller than even Astartes, formed haphazardly from shards of human bone and dripping blood in the torrential rain, they brandish wicked, brightly shimmering weapons.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	"Heresy..." Herbert growls
	Staffen_GM	Their sihlouette is alien in its brutish strength. They are charging at the Kill-team, firing splinters of white-glimmering substance from rusted and deteriorated weapons.
	Draco	"Purge it immediately."
	Priad_Milionias	"At last, an opponent worthy of our skills."
	Invictus	draws his force sword.
	Draco	+Brothers, these creatures' weapons are forged from unholy warp fire. It will rend thru our armor.+
	Priad_Milionias	"But what are they, Brother Draco?"
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	+How do you know that- What are they?!+
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	+No credit for half-answers, twerp.+
	Draco	+They might be Khrave, but they aren't warp creatures like these /things/.+
	Staffen_GM	Just as Draco warns, the glimmering warp-shards cleave through both him and Herbert.
	Draco	tries to avoid the creature's hellfire, but it was too late.
	Draco	fires at the hellspawn who attacked him with his bolter. He screeches in binary at the creature.
	Priad_Milionias	sights down his bolter and let's off a blistering semi-auto burst of fire.
	Staffen_GM	The PDF are paralyzed by the emergency of this threat.
	Staffen_GM	The Storm Troopers, however, are not so easily impressed.
	Staffen_GM	They open fire on one of the leading creatures.
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	focused her attention on the creature that was most wounded, opening fire with her troopers.
	Invictus	The area around Invictus becomes cold as he begins to push his powers.
	Invictus	uses his pushed powers to strike the approaching creatures, hitting one of them. The area around him is now covered in a thin layer of frost which can be seen and felt.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	charges at the nearest of the abominations.
	Staffen_GM	As the Knight assaults the wounded entity -- from its oozing mass it produces a shimmering shard of the same warp-stuff its weapons fire, the length of an Astartes blade. With this it shields itself against Herbert's attack.
	Staffen_GM	The other creatures join in the counterstrike against Herbert.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	Herbert dances around the strikes, avoiding each of the creature's attacks.
	Draco	fires at the weaken creature and destroys it. He says "Target destroyed. 3 remaining."
	Staffen_GM	The creature's corpse disintegrates into a vapor of blood.
	Staffen_GM	The PDF remains completely paralyzed.
	Staffen_GM	The Storm Troopers, still undeterred, join fire with Brother Priad..
	Priad_Milionias	Priad fires another burst of bolter fire at another of the abominations.
	Inquisitor_Ebbesen	continues on with her aim locked on the creature before Brother Herbert, opening fire to damage it more.
	Invictus	draws out his bolt pistol and opens fire on one of the creatures, hitting it in the leg.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	strikes the creature in front of him, chainsword first, ceremonial sword second, cutting the enemy in half at the abdomen.
	Staffen_GM	The remaining beasts lay into the Knight Brother in retaliation.
	Draco	tries to fire his bolter and it jams. He sighs.
	Priad_Milionias	continues to fire into the abominations, a war chant of Ithaka on his lips, his helmet's vox-casters at full volume.
	Staffen_GM	The Storm Troopers carry out another fusilade, but have overwhelmed their weapons in their overeagerness.
	Invictus	moves up with his force sword in hand.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	After receiving a blow, setting off warning runes in his helmet, Herbert counters with a series of strikes that fully amputates the monstrosity's leg, leaving its corpse limp on the mud.
	Draco	moves forward and switch to his bolt pistol. His weapon jams again.
	Priad_Milionias	Priad still continues to fire into the creature, these things take quite a bit of ammunition to kill, the thought it quick as he continues his chant.
	Invictus	charges into the last creature and attacks it with his force sword, causing damage to it.
	Knight-Brother_Herbert	drives both his blades into the enraged giant in a fierce melee.
	Staffen_GM	In its rage, the surviving Khrave-entity gores Herbert's arm with its shimmering blade with force that, for all appearances, should have severed the arm.
	Draco	charges against the creature, he is lost in a blind fury. Drago unleashes the clamps and crushes the vile beast.
