Famed and infamous adventurers/mercenaries/figures you are, The King of Caribo bought you together and tasked you to defeat this Arcane whom many failed to return from. You chased leads about this elusive and mysterious villain for some time before you found his lair, filled with malice and minions. Due your prowess, you cleaned house with ease. All that is left are two closed doors before you that separates the 100x100 ft and 50 ft high room you reside in that was transformed from a decorated interior into a gloomy cavern like chamber and the room that your enemy is in. You are now resting by the bonfire you created, sharpening your knives, preparing yourselves for the confrontation.

What do you do?

ALICE Sat down for a breather, letting her alien mind wander into the Void to converse with Vestiges. Her mindsight extended through the room and the space beyond, detecting intelligence. What was awaiting beyond the door?

Having let her mind wander through the void a bit too long, she comes back to her senses. Her permanent schism mind allowing her to re-apply some of her buffs. She summons a greater elemental and an astral construct to replenish her fussion.

Then noticing the qhimeric Nokomis moving to the door, she speaks in a voice that seems a cacophony of a hundred voices:

 We are ready

A Serious of Intricate Flexes steps up, his chain lash grasped in all six hands. As he approaches the door to join the others, a fourth set of arms, very obviously the result of a spell, emerge from his torso and take hold of his weapon as well.

Once done with his chantings Hjalmar does'nt speak, he just assumes a position besides the door, his literal towering frame impossible to ignore, holding his sword with both his hands waiting for the door to open and the opportunity to strike.

The movements provokes silence. Flurry of hail harmonizes with the whispers of intensified gale. All of a sudden, a dark hooded sceptre with a mask of a skull appears and stabs at A Series of Intricate Flexes before disappearing into thin air.
