The woman nods. "Yes. The heat they radiate powers our forges. Come, I know a safe route through the city."
Following her directions, you soon find yourself carefully navigating a wide alleyway. A light mist crawls across the ground, and over the sounds of the light rain that's begun, you can hear the crackle of a fire and muffled sobbing. Up ahead, his back turned, a Hungering Legionnaire stares out into the street, his axe in one hand and a javelin in another.
"This is the only way forward?" he asks the woman. "If so, I'll need to defeat this one. You might want to hide."
"I'm afraid so. The main hall is just around the corner, though. Hopefully it hasn't fallen yet."
"Keep your distance. I'll deal with this fool."
"You there!" the big orc roars. "This is the only warning you're gunna get. Throw down your arms and make yourself scarce now while you still can under your own power. I've had just about enough of your Legion."
The legionnaire looks you up and down cockily. "Hey! There's a couple more over here!" Behind him, you see a half-dozen soldiers - and a trio of devils - step into view.
The Unfailing Pillar quickly assumes his giant form. "Have it your way!"
As you grow to mammoth proportions, the soldiers back up - unsure of what they just got themselves into. The devils, on the other hand, lick their lips and lunge forward with unholy swiftness.
Skaar growls in pain as the demon's fangs find their way into the meat of his shoulder. Before the beast can attack again, he smashes it with a huge fist.
Your enormous fist smashes the first devil flat into the snow, and you hear a cheer. As you step forward to meet the other devils, you see a makeshift barricade barring entrance to the main hall. The defenders there, emboldened by your appearance, begin launching arrows and javelins at the enemy legionnaires. Undeterred, the two remaining devils attack you once again.
The demons bloody him but the Unfailing Pillar doesn't slow down a beat. He quickly turns his wrath and his fists on his remaining opponents.
You wound the already-injured devil...
... and then beat it into a bloody pulp when it tries to retaliate. The lone remaining devil comes at you once more in a flurry of frenzied strikes.
The demons' weakening resolve shows as they fail to wound Skaar further. The Unfailing Pillar offers little mercy and continues to pound on his attacker with punishing blows. He glances at the soldiers watching from the sidelines, his cold eyes promising them the same bloody fate if they challenge him.
