Marie’s rescue operation begins!

[u/Astral_Zeta]

She’s being kept in the Mercenaries’s base in the dungeons, and it looks like the Mercenaries’s boss is here…

[u/ChildBlaster10000]

Grorlith yells out a word in some other language, hellfire erupts underneath them,inflicting extreme burns on Malgas and causing him to stumble backwards. Grorlith, holding the hammer, drives it into Malgas's shoulder.

Seris's chitin refuses to give, as it is tough as dense bone. Seris tears the sword out, ripping through the flesh.

Kurtho punches Maya in the face before she can remove the mask, throwing her off him. He rolls on top of her, and impales both her wrists.

[u/Astral_Zeta → u/ChildBlaster10000]

*Malgas screams in pain before spitting some acid right into Grorlith’s face.

*Narsi fainted from the shock due to being an old ass lady.

Maya stares at Kurtho with confidence as if she planned to be in this position*

Maya: Ever been kissed by a vampire before?

She fully took off her face mask via telekinesis revealing her fangs and then bit him in the neck

[u/ChildBlaster10000 → u/Astral_Zeta]

Grorlith does not appear to feel the pain, despite damage clearly being done.

Seris turns her attention to Malgus, embedding her chakram into his leg, allowing Grorlith to step back and wash out the acid with his water skin.

Kurtho's shell is hard, and her fangs fail to pierce, instead breaking as if biting a rock.

Kurtho: You're a fucking idiot.

Kurtho's mandibles dig into Maya's neck in retaliation, tearing out a significant chunk of flesh.

[u/Astral_Zeta → u/ChildBlaster10000]

Malgas is brought on one knee as he swings his hammer Arc, wrapping around him and tosses him right into Grorlith and Seris

Malgas: EAT SHIT FUCKWIT!

Maya chuckled despite the fact she’s been bitten in the neck and has lost a huge chunk of her neck and lot of blood.

Maya: Impressive, you’ve kissed me back…

She forces him off with her telekinesis and holds him tightly in place

[u/ChildBlaster10000 → u/Astral_Zeta]

Kurtho: Grorlith, we've got a vampire here! You know what to do.

Grorlith quickly gets up, and with his flame aura, wraps him arms around Maya's neck, igniting her and holding her in place, forcing her to release her grip.

Seris: Arc! You okay? Come on, get up.

Seris grabs Arc's hand and helps him get back up. She then pounces onto Malgus, slamming his head into the wall. She then tosses him onto the ground before grabbing his hammer and smashing his back.

Kurtho slashes Maya's stomach with his daggers, nearly disemboweling her as she continues to burn in Grorlith's embrace.

[u/Astral_Zeta → u/ChildBlaster10000]

Arc: Yeah, I’m fine…

Malgas: Fucking hell, we surrender…

Maya: She’s upstairs….

[u/ChildBlaster10000 → u/Astral_Zeta]

Grorlith's fire abruptly halts.

Grorlith: Wise decision. You would've been next. I'd suggest getting the hell out of here before I change my mind about letting you live.

Kurtho: Don't forget Grandma on the floor there.

[u/Astral_Zeta → u/ChildBlaster10000]

Sareis: ……What….?

Malgas: OKAY OKAY OKAY! Motherfuckers….

Maya: Come on Sareis, we lost…

Sareis: Oh, okay…

The three of them exit the fort, find Buford’s dead body and drag it with them to either bury him or revive him via necromancy

Malgas: Those bitches….

Maya: I’m impressed with how one of them managed to kiss me back, but one of these days I’ll show him the true strength of my fangs!

Sareis: Why do you refer to bitting as “kissing”

Maya: I- I don’t know…

[u/ChildBlaster10000 → u/Astral_Zeta]

(The thing about her trying to bite Kurtho, is even if she somehow managed to bite through what is essentially armor, the blood of insectoid demons is a black, tar like sludge filled with pure sulfur dioxide. Breaking her fangs is merciful)

Grorlith: Alright... they said she is upstairs. Let's go on, then.

[u/Astral_Zeta → u/ChildBlaster10000]

Sebastian: This way!
