Llyarden August 19, 2022 Cal gave an almost smug little grin to himself as the zyclops he'd blasted fell. Was I the first one to beat one? Nice! Unfortunately, he didn't have very long to celebrate his victory. Or, rather, he did. But his allies didn't, and Cal paled slightly as the zyclopses quite literally came out of the woodwork (and the brickwork) to mob the other Hunters. He was sure they could handle themselves, but with their teleports crackling and being disrupted and the portal's energy blasting Nivel through his illusion... And then came the telepathic communication from the mainland, and Cal's eyes widened. People dying was bad enough - Cal had seen allies and innocents die before, but that didn't stop it hurting. But for the Guildmaster to be wounded... Once the telepathic communication shut off, Cal spoke across the Hunters' local mental link. ~Okay, we need to -~ The Death Tyrant emerged. ~...go.~ He said it absently, like the end of the sentence had been patiently waiting in the back of his mind and he just wanted to get it out of the way, as he turned to look at the undead Beholder. There was no fear in his voice. Perhaps there had been for a heartbeat, but his powers had purged it from him almost as soon as the Death Tyrant's gaze had fallen upon him. His creator hadn't allowed such trifles as emotions to get in the way of his usefulness to it. And then he ran - away from the portal, though that might have been pure coincidence - getting in a position where he could see the Death Tyrant clearly, and with a wild, incoherent yell, eyes formed across his body and unleashed a blazing ray of necromantic and positive energy combined at the floating monster.
