A flash of green flashed suddenly through the sky over the park a few days ago while I was hard at work basket weaving with a few friends. Curiosity aroused, we headed for TS and seconds later heard screams from people as they fled from the area. Throwing caution to the wind, we then headed to the park and came across a large crowd of Spurians already engaged in battle with Bane Scarabs and Venomous Skitterlings, with a few orks, muggers and Dirges thrown in for good measure. Sheika was entangled in webbing and the Scarabs were biting and spitting gobs of acid at the people attacking them. These creatures were lethal, they could fly, web people, bite, spit acid, and Moloch only knows what else. And if that wasn't bad enough, one of the Scarabs soon blurted out that "The way opens soon!" More people came to do battle with these beasts as the Scarabs clicked their mandibles and continued with their violent attacks. One Leuian, after being hit by a blob of acid, asked the Scarab what she had ever done to it, needless to say mere seconds later she lost her life after being splattered with Scarab spit.
More of the Scarabs flew in while Kithrael, Lute in hand, stood fretting over Sheika, Platinum slipped from the shadows and headed towards the North west where these things seemed to be coming from. Lilly also stepped from the shadows, watching the battle around her as it raged on. Soon another Spurian died after being hit with acid...One of the Scarabs also bit me and I quickly moved away, I knew if I didn't, I would be the next to die.
"Souls!, Soul's to keep" The Scarab blurted out as the warriors fought with all they had left to keep them at bay. They seemed to be immune or highly resistant to runemagic. Lilly even tried gazing into the eyes of one of those beasts to no avail. Soon the beasts fell back and people took the time to heal and rest a spell, while some others, like Moonsilver, searched through the bags of loot he had retrieved and quickly stuffed the coins into his pockets. Although from what I could see, he did not help defeat these Molochian demons at all, just stood there and asked questions while eyeing the loot.
Seconds later, a strange green light, resembling the one that had flashed in the night sky earlier, faded away from the windows of the Tower which left us all glancing around, wondering what might happen next. But from what I heard later, no more creatures appeared that night.
Surely this is a sign of more terror to come. The portal between our world and Moloch's world seems to be growing larger every time these beasts from his world escape through. Will we be able to find a way to stop this passage way from getting any larger?, To stop Moloch himself? Will he harvest some souls when he arrives as Stanrar thinks he will when he heard the Scarab cry out 'Souls to keep?' These Scarabs were larger than the Skitterlings and that means that the portal grew in size since they traveled in and out of it so easily, if nothing is done soon, Moloch himself will be the one coming through that portal next.
And no Tuvor, the Firian's were not behind this in any way shape or form.
Back in TS, a flicker of blue flame danced along the blade of the grey pearl
broadsword and then vanished. While we were still all pondering that,
the water in the fountain began to move as ripples played upon its surface
and a sound of mourning filled the air. Is this somehow connected to that
Human body that has been in the fountain for the past several days? Was
it his soul crying out for justice? Does the golden haired Fir Elf maiden
have anything to do with this? Questions, questions and more questions! We need answers! Reported by: Leyara Rin
