A Grim Confrontation
Who: Valvatorez, Keith, James, Adelaide
When: November 20
Where: The Warren of the Necromancer
What: Finishing the fight against The Necromancer that brought forth the Grimm
Warnings: Violence, horror (general), body horror (Necromancy), gore, torturous-adjacent things. It's not a pretty place. Or business.
Finding the place had taken some time and study. But it could not be hidden forever. And now was time to put an end to it. The small Daybreak team arrived on location, and the doorway sealing the hideaway was blown open by a magical incantation. There was not going to be subtlety or subterfuge on this mission. It was about sending a message and taking down a target that was weakened hard, and fast.
A handful of small Grimm emerged from the portal, only to be quickly slashed out of existence with a practiced swing of a sword.
Valvatorez turned to his students.
"Be careful inside. Check your corners, and make sure you always keep an eye on your back. ...As well as above and below you. Complete situational awareness is important in dealing with a den like this. There will be traps and enemies lurking everywhere. Stay close to me, and I will remain on point. Do not separate from each other, or you will be overwhelmed. Use lethal force against your foes at all times. They will not play nice. Neither will we."
With that, the group marched inside.
The lair within was dark and somewhat confined. The hallways often twisted and turned, doubling back upon themselves in a labyrinthine manner. Despite the cramped, dank corridors, the location also did not seem especially huge, either; but rather very densely packed. Growls of the Grimm in the shadows echoed throughout the hall, glowing red eyes ducking back and forth in the darkness.... But Grimm were not the only things left.
In dead ends and alcoves along the way, the remains of some of the Necromancer's victims are strung up; horrific, macabre totems, meant to display her power... and perhaps, prove a danger for the unwary...
