Tha halls of Castle Ahriman were quiet. The Tainted Ahrmy had suffered several defeats. Key members of the Shade were temporarily incapacitated. Ranec showed a willingness to fight, but was just not up to it. The men were concerned for their brethren. They were shamed by the losses also. Tirus stood up angrily. Some turned to look at him, but said nothing as he stormed out the door. Spirits were low.
Tirus could not heal his fallen brethren. That is another sphere of magic alltogether. Unfortunately, though, this was not the only problem that needed to be dealt with. The Shade's armoury had suffered heavily in the losses. The losses needed to be replaced. Rashly, Tirus decided to raid the dwelling of the Satanist's and loot their armoury. It was said they were all away, so it should be easy.
Upon navigating through the cursed woods that acted as a barrier (it is very easy to become lost in there), Tirus unlocked a hidden door. He had acquired the key from a rather nasty beast in the woods. After gaining entry, he quickly sought out the storerooms. The armour he found wasnt worth picking up. It was shoddy and weak. Although, what can you expect from men who worship a god that doesnt exist. While walking throught the maze of chambers that served as the Ninth Circle's homebase, The mage came upon the warrior of "Satan" called Silence. He appeared to be in a drunken stupor. Grinning, the hobbit raised his hands and brought fire down on the massive fighter. Silence offered little resistance and was bested quickly. Tirus stripped him of his useful affects and left the body there as a warning.
"This is Ahriman's Kingdom."
