"No food during the misssssion!" He hissed at the Scy-Re, his forked tongue sliding in and out of his mouth.
"Yes, Lieutenant," the Scy-Re answered, dropping the eagle.
"Tell me if you sssssssee the tunnel!" Varessil ordered, his snaky body slithering over a fallen pillar as his Tavari stepped over it.
"I found it, my Lord!" A different Scy-Re shouted, pointing at a hole, exposed by the ruins of a large building.
"Good," the snake-person answered, before heading off in that direction.
Lord Varessil followed the Tavari quietly as they they entered the tunnel, travelling a long way before they found the opening that led to the Underground City. He could sense the Scy-Re behind him, carefully avoiding his tail as they moved.
"Ssssssplit up," Varessil ordered. "One Scy-Re and two Tavari per group. If you get in trouble, fight. Be prepared to open a rift if need be. You know the drill. I'll go alone."
The well-trained servants of Theondume nodded as acknowledgement and then broke up into groups. Their goal was to find as many forbidden texts as possible, on dark magic of all sorts, demons, dark magic users, dark magic artifacts, that sort of thing.
After seeing the carvings The Groups could sense something, but it was faint, so faint it was almost hidden. The tunnels were made of metal, stone and wood, but pieces of the tunnels had collapsed giving way for dirt and mud.
Varessil heard something fall somewhere in his tunnel. It sounded like stone but could've been a Tenier.
Varessil suddenly sees 3 giant beams of energy come towards him and 1 giant hammer.
The Scy Re smash into the spike, which only pierces their skin slightly, but pull themselves off the wall and start working magic against the golem, designed to tear at the force keeping the golem together and alive.
The Tavari's weapons flicker in and out of existence, but ultimately stay in, having been worked with magical metal and so much magic that only the most powerful of spells, cast by the most powerful of entities, could ever harm it. They set to work pointing their blades at the golem and releasing a burst of powerful energy at the Golem.
A Giant Golem made of the Strongest Metal of the World attacks with 2 Hammers and then shoots 2 beams at Varessil using all 4 of its arms.
The Tavari, master smiths, look for weak points in the golem's bodies.
Varessil manifests strong magical shields for the hammers to make contact with, throwing up and taking down shields over and over without tiring. The beams of energy again curve around Varessil's ward. To attack, Verassil uses simple spells to hold the golem in place, repeatedly casting them so they continue to refresh and hinder the golem, whilst using dark magic to tear away at the power source of the golem, rotting it with the most powerful corruption spell in his arsenal. He prepares his blade, which had killed gods, to cleave the golem for when its sufficiently weakened.
The other Golems Continue pounding into them before the line on its face turns blue and the Golems dissapear, then suddenly the area where most of the Tavari are suddenly slam shut with a giant metal door with such force and speed magic wouldnt do much. The only Golem left is the Giant One.
The Tavari help the Scy-Re get to their feet, and the Scy-Re are pretty damaged. The Scy-Re heal themselves while the Tavari search for a way out.
They notice there is 3 window sortish circle in the door and see a light on the other side.
One of the Scy-Re mutters an incantation breaks the window.
The Glass shatters but the size of the windows are small.
The Scy-Re look through the hole to the other side so they could cast a spell that bridges gaps in space, forming a portal that transcends the doorway. The Tavari walk through first.
They meet a Open hallway and they see 3 doors ahead of them.
The Scy-Re use a spell to destroy the doors and see what's beyond.
Varessil sees a Old cracked Door in front of him.
The groups split into two, six Scy-Re and twelve Tavari in each group. They continue down the doors that lead to the unknown.
Varessil after he slithers forward is punched by something with so much strength it would knock him out.
They destroy the doors and move on.
Suddenly powerful indestructible chains surrounded Varessil. As he is knocked out by It's 2 arms. For this was a Diety, the God of Electricity and the Teniers, Naxio.
The Tavari fell right away, but the Scy-Re put up a fight, and it took longer for them to fall unconscious, in which case they astral projected so as to see what was happening. In this form they could not interact with the physical world other than through draining magic.
What they found was the electricity was godly magic and couldn't be drained and not due to being within the mile of the Dead Magic they lost their Magic abilities until they were out of it.
The lightning bolt stabbed into him, throwing him off balance. When the crystals activated, he knew it was over. Varessil collapsed into a heap at the floor.
Meanwhile, the astrally projected Scy-Re were thinking about how to get out. Somehow, Naxio had masked his presence from Varessil and maybe even Sik'vdili enough so that he would retain the element of surprise. Going there was a bad idea.
"The Tavari are happy to fulfil their purposssssse. Although," he added thoughtfully, "I would've brought the Krathor if I knew you were going to be ssssso... Unwelcoming." His voice was hideous.
"We're not after your magic, Naxio. We're after knowledge. Now, tell usss the name of the demon ssso we may complete our transssaction."
"Borot'aba."
"Do you have tomessss on dark magic?"
"Apologiesssssss for that, I didn't know you were a brother sssnake. I would like to sssssee it all. If you could tell me what each item doesssss and what each book sssssaysss, that would be a great help."
"I am looking for any tomessss or artifactsss with relation to dark magic or demonssssss." His voice is cold and ugly.
