First Seeker Luwazi Elsebo steps forward to her podium addressing the Starfinder fleet. “Starfinders, after two years of hardship following our devastating first foray into the Scoured Stars, we now stand taller than ever and are back to fighting form. Today, new recruits rally beside experienced agents and rescued veterans, coming together to form the most resourceful, prepared, and skilled organization the Pact Worlds have ever known. This newfound strength comes not a moment too soon, for the threat within the Scoured Stars is unlike any we’ve ever faced: a hostile military force known as the jinsuls, committed to our complete destruction. Stopping the Jinsul Hierocracy will challenge us more than anything we’ve done before, but what I’ve seen from our agents these past two years assures me that we are more than up to the task! Your orders will arrive shortly; for now, gather your equipment, finish your preparations, and send any messages you wish before we reach the Scoured Stars.”
Hundreds of Starfinder agents hustle throughout the loading docks aboard the ever-impressive and newly refurbished Master of Stars, the pinnacle of the Starfinder fleet. Junior agents hastily pack every docked starship with weapons, armor, spare parts, and provisions, while technical staff runs diagnostics on starship armaments and senior officers finalize flight formations and supply routes. Many Starfinders’ faces are dark with uncertainty, but the fiery resolve burns in their eyes.
Venture-Captain Arvin, a damaya lashunta man, emerges from the shifting crowd of activity, his expression hard with repressed concern. “It seems fate has made soldiers out of explorers. We’ve always prepared our agents to navigate danger and violence, but never anything like this. Still, there isn’t another organization in the Pact Worlds that I would trust more with this daunting task.” He pauses for a moment, then shakes himself back to attention. “Right, much left to do! There are still a few specialized tasks remaining that you might be able to help us complete.”

Male ysoki wanders in crowd while talking to his comm device. "Yes, we are leaving soon for a mission. You know how much I love adventuring and they are serious threat to all Pact worlds. Bye now honey, I love you too!" he finishes call.
"Fitch, hey Fitch! I'm here, just arrived. Can I help with anything?" he shouts
|
The large blue-scaled vesk is wearing a suit of advanced lashunta tempweave armor designed to mimic the style of the Akitonian gladiatorial arenas. He has a greataxe and a starknife hanging from his belt. Two bandoliers cross over his broad chest, and in the center, like in a baby bjorn, is a horribly charred stuffed plush creature that is difficult to identify.
He smiles at his teammates on this mission. "Hello. I am Bakoyo, but you can call me Flameclaw. You may know me from the PWGF - the Pact Worlds Gladiatorial Federation - or maybe from my series of BuzzNet self-defense videos." He strikes a pose and says, as if talking into a camera. "Do you know what the 'Claw is cookin'?" He shrugs, glancing around and seeing no particular recognition. "That's my slogan. No? Well, you know, they get a lot of views."
He clears his throat and continues. "Anyway, I got trapped in the Scoured Stars, and got rescued about a year ago. Things were tough. My husband, he thought I was dead, you know ... and when I got back, he left me ... for my best friend." He frowns, then shakes himself out of it. "But, it's okay ... I've been workin' through it with a therapist. Doing a lot of self-work. But lookin' forward to getting back and givin' these Jinsuls a beating. Fought against these guys a few times, and they're all jerks. Really, even the one who kind of helped me out was like one of the biggest jerks I've ever met." He shakes his head. "No reason to be so rude."
"We are a team." He pauses dramatically, looking at each member of the group in turn and says, "Just remember ... there is no 'I' in 'Starfinder Society.'" He nods sagely, ready now that he's given his pep-talk, to proceed with the mission.
|
Another large vesk was present, though this one was more of the traditionally grizzled sort. His scales were dull brown and fading into more of a slate grey color where they weren't criss-crossed with battle scars. He wore an equally beaten and scuffed set of armor that appeared to be made from pieces of a large creature... a -very- large creature.
While the others had introduced themselves he'd been slumped on the floor against a wall looking bored and feeling old as he fiddled with a comm unit. Though as Bakoyo gave his pep talk, Valikar let out a breath through his nostrils that carried a large puff of smoke with it. Then with a grunt he started to pull himself to standing at his full seven feet of height. "That's a bit hokey, kid. But the sentiment? Fine." He rolled his shoulders and felt a few things crack, which caused him to pause and look over his own shoulder a second. Was that him or his gear.
He grunted again and looked at the rest of the group. "Valikar Drazen. Friends call me "Hardcover." A pause, he gave Bakoyo another look and sighed as if exasperated. 'But since we're all Starfinders. And teammates. Either works. I run point if my armor doesn't give it away. Find me the biggest, ugliest thing out there besides me, and I'll stand between it and you."
"I've dealt with Jinsul, too. They regretted it. They'll regret seeing us."

As the group begins introducing themselves to each other, a tall but slender Shirren male will pay close attention to each person as they speak. He is wearing a suit of advanced lashunta tempweave armor that is made to look like a comfortable, yet functional, suit of clothing. At his back is slung a sonic rifle, while a sonic pistol is at his belt, opposite a survival knife. Poking its head out of his backpack is what appears to be a small, shark-like creature with tentacles. For those that are particularly perceptive, there is also a pair of gossamer wings tightly folded against his back.
However, it is clearly evident that he is not actually 'listening' to them, as he occasionally glances towards a spider-like robot next to him, whose hands are busy signing at the Shirren as it too watches the others. Once a break in the conversation occurs, he extends his mind to connect with the rest of those around him. {Greetings, I am Klysk. It is good to meet all of you.} He then disconnects from everyone, before reconnecting to Valikar. {And it is good to meet an old friend once again, Hardcover.}
|
A familiar shirren sits in the back corner of the room. Any who have known Quirk in the past note that both his jolly demeanor and signature red fez seem to be missing. Klysk might even notice that his chitinous exoskeleton seems to be discolored.
He DOES have some impressive armor with a full array of upgrades, along with brace of pistols holstered at his side.

Skeeter is a white haired Ysoki operative. He has custom-made Leshunta tempweave with an installed jetpack. He is subtly augmented, with his skin appearing a bit hardy to him built-in dermal plating. He carries two pistols, a corona pistol on one hip, and a standard tactical pistol on the other. "I think we should help Venture-Captain Arvin first, but I'm up for anything."
Ally: Iteration-177's Attention (Sanguine)
Starship: Automated Defenses
Social: Instructor +3
Faction: SS (Luwazi)
Vanity: Surviving Companion
I also have Honorbound Allies, but if someone already slotted it I assume nothing stacks?
Fitch, leader of the Wayfinders, walks you to an airlock leading out to some of the scaffolding on the ship’s exterior. “It’s strange to not have my children aboard, but this is no time to be bringing the young ones along. Last time, the jinsul capital ships chased away our carriers. I’d love to see how their flagship holds up against ours, but we’re still not quite finished with renovations. Try to wrap up the finishing touches on this gem of a ship— I want the last thing those jinsuls see is just how brightly it shines.”
Iteration-177, the enigmatic android, meets with you in a conference room, as charming as ever. “It appears I finally get to participate in a famed Starfinder adventure! I suspect you still have some desire to seek solace with the divine before heading into battle? I too, know this desire. I’m more than happy to converse, if you’d care to sit and chat.”
Venture-Captain Arvin looks over a group of anxious recruits in the mess hall. “Those green agents are not ready for a battle against an organized foe. Sadly, they’re liabilities when they’re frightened. Talk them through some of your experiences, set them at ease, and help them prepare for the challenges they’ll face ahead. We need them primed and ready for combat if we’re going to win this.”
Celita, leader of the Dataphiles, feverishly works on the mainframe in the command center of the Master of Stars. “Greetings, I’m Celita of the Dataphiles. You may have known me as Historia-7, though I’ve since stopped using that name due to reasons we don’t have the time to discuss. I think I’ve devised a way to artificially replicate the resonance effects of the Tear relic to help our ships stay in communication and traverse the Drift more precisely. I need you to double-check my code for errors and then see if you can shield the network from detection by jinsul sensors.”
Zigvigix, leader of the Exo-Guardians, sits before an immense cargo bay filled with crates of supplies. “They say an army marches on its stomach, but it also fights with guns and ammo! Can you take a look at all our gear to make sure it works and then load it onto the ships? Just try to keep the explosives separated from the food, please. We don’t want to have that mistake happen again!”
Radaszam, leader of the Acquisitives, overlooks a large holographic map of the Scoured Stars system, overlaid with smaller, more detailed maps of terrain on specific planets. “I don’t know about you, but I’m keen to take this fight to the jinsuls on their home turf. We have topographic data collected from our last foray into the Scoured Stars, plus some information on fighting styles our agents have reported from past jinsul encounters. See if you can make sense of it all and formulate a plan of attack.”

Hey, we haven't talked much, but I've been in a few scrapes and am a pretty good pilot now. 2 of my first three Starfinder missions, one I got into a dual with the Honorbound, and the other we took out the Lawbreaker! And then the time I helped take out the Besmaran whelp! Less starship missions lately. I can't wait to take out some Jinsuls. I've only met those things once, and they suck. Speaking of which, if you need help putting finishing touches on this here, ship, I'm more than willing to help.
Hey, how's it going? I don't think I've seen you since that journey to Athaeum. I think I gave you a memory. That was wild. I'm usually not too religious or spiritual myself, but I've found the faith of Eloritu interesting.
Well, we were all green once. I'll go talk to them.
Starfinder recruits, today is *your* day. I mean, for some of you it is. Some of you aren't going to make it. But that's OK, because the Starfinders will go on, and your name will go on with them. You guys all saw the video feed when Star Sugar Heartlove was attacked, right? Who saved them? Us starfinders. Who recued Historia-7, err, Celita from a rogue android from taking over her mind? That's right, we did. Look to your right and look to your left. Some of them aren't going to make it. But YOU will. You're ready. You're Starfinders!!"
Good day, Histo..er Celita (sorry). I haven't seen you since we helped you get out of that mess. Weird, that. Historia-6 (and 5 and so forth I guess) were messed up. Since then, I've fought some jinsuls and actually learned their language after we gained access to a Jinsul Heiroracy facility. I'd be happy to help double-check your code.
Ziggy, my man! How are you doing? Think this will be as exciting as the Star Sugar Heartlove incident? I wink And at least Celita isn't getting attacked by herself. By the way, did you hear we found a beacon in space that might lead to Rasheen's final voyage. Very technical job, that. Anyway, I'd be happy to look at the gear
Yeah, one of my last missions was fighting Jinsuls - I don't know how I had missed the missions before then - and man I hate those things. We need every advantage we can get. I hope that intel we got from inside their heirarchy helped? But I'll see if I can help make sense of some of this data.

Eki notices his groupmates and turns around "Hi guys! You're the crew I have honor to fight against the jindsul threat? Nice to see ya all. Sorry to hear you were trapped there, Bakoyo. My scariest trip so far was that rescue mission, didn't even tell my wife before we were all safely out or she would have freaked out. We'll talk later, now let's get started."
He skittles to the Master of Stars and merrily greets Fitch "Hello Fitch! Good job I have dealt with these wicked beasts before, we encontered their starship first time on a trip to Izalraan and of course on our rescue mission to Scoured stars system. And all system's seem to work as expected on this beauty."
"I was disturbed to hear what happened to you, Celita. Friend of mine was there when it unfolded. I'll run the code on my custom rig to see if it can be improved. Oh, it's running quite smoothly now!"
Eki opens crates and checks weapons and armors "You got it, Zigvigix! After exploring that huge weapon cache on Elytrio, this is routine stuff."
Looking at Radaszam's maps "On my last mission we rescued folks from invading jindsul horde. We managed to hold the enemies while survivors withdrew to captain Yuluzak's ship."
|

Valikar a familiar nod before following after the more energetic Ysoki on their team to talk with Fitch. He grunts as they regale her with talk of starships. "Never been much for space combat. Not after having to deal with drone ships. Preferred the rescue mission the Honorbound took us on. It was starship fighting." He gave a half-grin to the group "Standing on the outside of the ship throttling boarders counts, right?" As he talks he casually hands over a wrench. Very handy.
As he moves on and meets with Iteration there's an addition to his armor that appears. Scuttling across the staging area a small white ysoki with red eyes scales his back and perches on his shoulder. She settles herself in place and whispered in his ear as they arrived, likely to nudge him into responding to the android. [b]"I'm not a talker. I prefer the gods to see my actions. It's easier for me and there's no double speak. It's why I hated that party the Second Seeker held that you were at. Well, until the reptoid showed up and tried to kill her. Breaking him made a good point not to mess with us."
Valikar seems rather nonplussed by Skeeter's speech for the new recruit, but he hoped it motivated a few. He squatted down near a few of them instead, ones he recognized. "You were in the class I teach. At the lorespire. Xenobiology. On how to kill them, mostly. If you know that you can scare the crud out of even Jinsul. I was just telling someone about defending a gaggle of diplomats from an assassin. But it was easy because I knew where to hurt it. So know where to hurt them." He was big, grumpy, and talking about the best way to kill things. Scary.
He didn't even bother with the Dataphiles' leader, not because he didn't like her but because he didn't get along with computers. Instead he joined Eki in peering through some of the requisition crates. "We should probably hand out a few nukes... not in the food. But if you want explosives they'll explode. And I have a few leftover from a mission to a planet full of bugs. Or is that too much?" He starts muttering more to himself and his Ysoki hitchhiker as he digs deeper into a crate.
He stares over the maps Radaszam has and then reaches down to the console to pull up a new window with an image of the Jinsul. "The big trick is their damn blades attached to the legs on half of them. Get some heavy armor on. Then rip them off. That'll fix things. Ran into their Hierarch once, though. It mutated into something big, nasty. If anyone sees that thing have them stay back. Deal with it at range where it's safer."

Fitch:
"I remember we fought against these rat pirates out by a dwarven mining colony ... they took control of these gun turrets. So some countermeasures to throw those off might be good. I just sat at the gun and fired."
His tips on starship engineering are not particularly helpful.
Iteration-177:
"Iteration-177! Nice to see you again. Hey, you left this behind last time I ran into you ..." He holds up his inubrix sintered greataxe. "I've kept it ... and added some fusions to it. It okay that I keep it?" He glances around. "This guy helped us out when we were trapped in a dead city, and we freed these ghosts ..." He gets a distant look in his eyes, "Sometimes, I still hear 'em talkin' to me." He shakes himself out of it, smiling. "Also found this cool boardgame. I have a copy, if you guys want to play it on the way out to the mission."
Arvin:
"You recruits think you're safe? One time, we had a simple mission just to babysit a diplomat on Absalom Station. No danger, right? WRONG! There was death around every corner! Constant threats against the diplomat's life. Street gangs. Chaotic fey. Lethal culinary experiences! Rabid squoxes! You're never safe! All you can do is stand up and fight, defend what's worth defending!"
Celita:
"Yeah, I know all about these things. Found one of them in that dead city, where people from the Scoured Stars used to live until they got killed. The Tear things, they can really mess you up. I sometimes turn into a bird person because of them, actually. Kind of weird. I wouldn't get too close."
Zigvigx:
Flameclaw nods, grabbing some of the non-explosive weapon and banging it against things, to make sure they hold up. "I remember this mission to Apostae, to make a deal with these Drow weapon merchants. One of them was stealing weapons from their clan, and we had to get the evidence. Made a good deal with the Drow after that. Probably some of this equipment came from them, actually." He bangs one of the guns into a crate and it falls apart. He frowns. "Probably not that one ..."
Radaszam:
"That mission to the Jinsul world was pretty crazy, I remember. Right into a planet full of them. They were chasing us all over the place. But, the weird thing, there's some of them that aren't the same type of jerky zealots ... still jerky zealots, but different types. I wonder if maybe we could find more jinsuls who are willing to join us and turn against their nutso leaders. But I did learn that they can't be flanked, so it won't do any good to try it."

Klysk will approach the airlock, sealing up his environmental protections as he goes. Broadcasting to everyone within range of his telepathic communication, he says {Personally, I have always found dark colored ships to be more intimidating that those that are bright and shiny. However, I did find the ship that I fought over Triaxus a while back quite intimidating, and it was very shiny. So I can see the advantage of making the Master of Stars shine that much more.}
{Personally, I've never really been all that interested in things concerning the divine, instead typically placing my trust in my tools and companions. However, I have occasionally seen the benefit that belief in higher powers can bring, notably from the time that we met on the moon Kukanou-2B.} He tilts his head and sends a telepathic query to the android. {Tell me, how did you manage to put your body back together after we left to deal with the Mentrasi?}
Klysk looks at the group of new recruits for a moment before connecting all their minds. {I understand that you are all scared. And you very well should be, as the foe that we are going to face is very dangerous. However, if you work together you can find ways to help each other overcome your weaknesses and build upon each others strengths, you will do much better than otherwise. For instance, when I was a new recruit - not much more experience than any of you - I wasn't particularly good at combat. I was assigned a mission to protect the First Seeker during a party that she was hosting - the one in which she first announced her intentions to return to the Scoured Stars. When the attempt was made on her life, I wouldn't have been of much assistance to my team going with them to deal with the assassin. Instead, while they were doing that and distracting her, I went to disarm the explosives that they had planted.} After a moment, he smiles before sending another wave of thought to all of the recruits. {Also, I want you to remember that while you may see yourselves as not as good as some more seasoned agents, almost all of you probably have an advantage that I don't: the ability to hear.}
{Of course Celita, I can look through it real quick. I really wouldn't want to have to get any more of those tears, as the last time I went to get one, I ended up with these.} He unfolds the wings from his back for a moment, before refolding them back where they were. {While I don't particularly mind the ability to fly, they aren't always there, and it hurts when they grow in.}
{I'm glad that our deals with House Ziezerer on Apostae has done plenty of good. While I personally found that planet distasteful, you can't fault the Drow in the quality of their weaponry.}
{I agree that fighting the Jinsul here will be better than doing so elsewhere has been. Hopefully we can deal a decisive blow to them here, enough that they no longer can be a suitable threat to the galaxy.} He stares at the holographic map of the star system for a bit, seemingly lost in thought. He then says {I recall when the Jinsul first came into this system in the middle of our last journey here. Hopefully they haven't changed they system too much, or else this map won't be of as much use to us.}

Telepathically, Quirk addresses Fitch as he passes through the airlock. "Before I had to escape from that hellhole New Elysium resort, we obliterated some space pirates on the way there. Managed to save the Absalom Buzzblades from their assault."
Quirk adds darkly
"Oh, and Fitch, it looks like you might have a bad dorsal motivator here. . . ."
You are all successful at helping the leaders with their preparations!
The success leads to the following rewards to help you in the mission.
You gain the third level of reward for all these leaders, except for now you only have gained Arvin's second level.
Level 2 - When using the reward above, all the PCs’ nongunnery skill checks made during the same round gain the +4 bonus.
Level 3 - In place of the level 1 reward, the PCs can force the crew of an enemy ship to take a –2 penalty to all nongunnery skill checks made during the round. The use of this ability must be declared at the start of the starship combat round.
Level 2 - In place of the reward above, a PC can add a +1 bonus to any one saving throw while within the Scoured Stars.
Level 3 - When using either reward above, the PC can double the bonus.
Level 2 - When using this reward, the benefit applies to both skill checks and attack rolls.
Level 2 - When using the reward above, all of the PCs’ gunnery rolls during that round gain that benefit.
Level 3 - In place of the level 1 reward, a PC can select any one successful starship weapon attack to count as critical damage if it deals Hull Point damage, even if the die result isn’t a natural 20.
Level 2 - In addition to the reward above, the PCs can also requisition a single consumable item with an item level up to the PC’s level. These consumables cannot have permanent effects, and PCs who don’t use them during the course of the scenario must return them at the end of the adventure.
Level 3 - When using the level 1 reward, the weapon can have an item level up to the PC’s level + 1.
Level 2 - Once during the adventure, while in the same location as a fleet, the PCs can instead activate this reward to gain a +2 bonus to each of their initiative checks for that mission.
Level 3 - During a single encounter in the same location as the jinsul fleet, the PCs can activate this reward to remove any extra enemies or challenges provided by the jinsul fleet.

Venture-Captain Arvin
Quirk addresses Arvin's recruits:
"All of you! Listen to me for a moment, please! The Starfinder Society has given you the training and the equipment you need to stand toe to toe with jinsul. The jinsul are potently violent, but they are not particularly creative. You all, however, DO have the ability think on your feet and come up with a plan B when necessary."
Quirk continues, [/b]"I have stood against a DRAGON on Triaxus. My teammates and I adapted and disposed of this evil creature, despite the fact that we had to challenge it on a crashed starship teetering over the edge of snowy cliff. . . .[/b]
[ooc]From 1-19, To Conquer the Dragon.
As preparations wind down, a stillness settles over the crowd of Starfinders gathered on the command deck of the Master of Stars. First Seeker Jadnura, flanked by nominated First Seeker Luwazi Elsebo and the android Iteration-177, steps forward to an elevated captain’s platform and looks out over the assembled agents. Jadnura’s resonant voice carries across the assembly. “Starfinders! Today we gather not merely as explorers and scholars, but as defenders of the galaxy. Ever since the jinsuls ambushed our rescue mission into the Scoured Stars, they have assailed us and our allies at every turn. The danger the jinsuls present to our friends and homes cannot be ignored. We now know that they intend to awaken the divine being responsible for trapping our first expedition into the Scoured Stars. We know that this scheme threatens not only the Scoured Stars but all the space surrounding it. This leaves us with one mission: break the jinsul fleet and drive them from the Scoured Stars, putting an end to their depredations once and for all. Today we march to war!”
The Starfinders disperse to their ships and launch into orbit, assembling into either tactical strike formations or vanguards surrounding the larger vessels. The fleet’s synchronized screens flash to life, showing Luwazi Elsebo from her own command station. “We are ready to approach the Scoured Stars system from the outer orbit of the Agillae system’s star. The majority of our fleet will stay together to protect our supplies and support our ground troops, while our field agents are to scout the system and find the most strategic places to engage the jinsuls. Kadrical’s divine herald, Dhurus, is the head of the snake: find where he is hiding so we can direct our full forces against him. Once we close in on him, we can face down Dhurus on equal footing and end this conflict.”
Luwazi nods to the camera. “Stick together, support each other, and stay the course. We live or die as one today. Good luck, Starfinders. Fleet—activate Drift engines now!” The screen shuts off, and each formation of starships surges forward as a unit, vanishing into the Drift.
★ ---- ★ ---- ★ ---- ★
The Starfinder fleet emerges from the Drift as a single force, the three suns of the Scoured Stars burning brightly against the surrounding void. Moments later, onboard computers ping with streams of incoming data detailing nearby jinsul ships, planets with concentrated industrial activity, and further commands from the First Seekers. Several files emerge on the captains’ screens: briefings of locations where field agents could find useful information about how best to target the jinsul fleet’s weak points.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Quirk's last minute heroic words rouse the morale of the Starfinder rookies to new heights, inspiring them moments before the final launch orders of this critical mission!
Level 2 - When using this reward, the benefit applies to both skill checks and attack rolls.
Level 3 - In place of the level 1 reward once during the adventure, when the table uses an Aid Token, they gain two benefits instead of one. They cannot choose the same effect twice.
-------------------------------------------------
You all receive the orders for the first phase of operations, scouting certain locations likely to hold intelligence about weaknesses in the jinsul forces. Five potential targets are uploaded to your team's coms, and you are free to pick from them based on the strengths you all possess.
Bursts of energy light up near space as several jinsul starships self-destruct. A flight of victorious Starfinder ships darts between the jinsul wrecks, as if dancing on their proverbial graves. Venture-Captain Arvin’s image suddenly appears on a communications screen, his face furrowed with concern.
“We just defeated this pack of jinsuls, but one of their scout ships escaped into the Drift. We can’t let it report our fleet’s position back to its superiors. Enter the Drift and stop that runaway!”
The team race to their assigned ship and head out to catch the enemy before it can report to its fleet.
The communication systems scream with piercing feedback as they enter the Drift - the telltale shrieking that often accompanies jinsul attacks. The horrific sound indicates that the fleeing jinsuls are nearby.
It doesn't take much to detect the ship heading directly away from the Starfinders.
While Eki diverts power to weapons, the jinsul scout seems to surge ahead slightly faster.
Round One continued
Despite the Starfinders quick response the Jinsul ship manages to pull away from them slightly
Klysk manages to scan the escaping vessel and notes it is a medium explorer, speed 10 with good maneuverability, and 6 crew.
A rocket of some kind departs the jinsul scout's aft weapons port and just manages to reach the Starfinder's ship, exploding against their shields.
Quirk sends a laser directly into the Jinsul, challenging their shields.

Flameclaw growls. He punches the comms, opening a channel to the Jinsul ship. Though he has had some contact with the jinsul language, he hasn't taken the time to learn it, so begins shouting in Common. "Listen, you jinsul scum. Surrender now, and we won't blow you up. Your stupid nappy-time god, Kadrical, won't protect you. Neither will your wimpy herald, Dhurus. Prepare to die! Can you smell what the 'Claw is cookin'?!?!"
