"And when the great Shadow falls upon the world, darkness shall envelop the world and we shall live as Gods among men! Our masters have already seen to securing our places, it is but for us to take up the sword for them in this pathetic mortal world to help pave the way for the one beyond!" Graves rolled his eyes from where he crouched as he listened to the heretic more or less calling upon his followers to roll out the red carpet for Shadowkind. Of all the monsters that he fought it was often mortal men who had fallen to the darkness that he loathed facing the most, as he always made a distinction between killing monsters and men. As he rose up to look over around the bleacher behind which he concealed himself toward the front of the tent where he speaker stood behind a upon a crate he idly decided that perhaps they were not quite men at all. For certainly few of them looked the part. In honor of those they served and sought to welcome to this world, many had taken to dressing as various representations of Shadowkind. Vampires, werewolf, and zombie costumes. Which basically meant that in this place, Halloween had come early. "Too long have we lived within the bonds of our mortal shackles-" Graves lowered his head and glanced to Jennifer, the residence Arcanist he had been paired with for this particular mission. Naturally he had objected as he preferred to work alone but being as to how it was entirely possible that at least one of the costumed heretics was indeed actually a true monster it would hardly hurt to have someone nearby capable of whipping up a useful spell or two. Even if he preferred his blades on most occasions. "About fifteen of them", Graves whispered to Jennifer. There were a lot of puppets laying scattered about the inside of the tent as well, but they were one danger that Graves could not inherently sense. "I'm sure at least one of them is Shadowkind but with all the costumes it's hard to tell for certain." As he considered his rules of engagement relative to the force they were here to encounter, Graves gave Jennifer a chance to offer her own assessment of the situation. |
