Draiss paused, before tapping V'elen, requesting it gently pulse its power, having a hunch that it would 'react' to its power, but V'elen refused, pointing out that the source's response would likely be to pour all its power into an attack into his general direction. While V'elen didn't care about the collateral damage that the blast would cause, let alone that it would likely activate the volcano to erupt, the blast would hurt Draiss, and it had a vested interest in not getting him destroyed. He sighed, as several more teams portaled in to join the search and cornering, bringing the teams to seven. The longer the hunt went though, the more Draiss became worried. It had home field advantage, and he knew that the locals had to sense the killing aura his constructs were emitting as they hunted. This volcano had become a time bomb, and that was not acceptable. After another ten minutes of fruitless searching, he sent the teams to hold near the surface, finding outlying exits to use, while he headed to the large center chamber, what had likely been the 'heart' of the volcano before it had died. Finding a good spot in the middle, he sat down, and extended his senses, waiting for it to come to him. No longer was it hunted and hunter, but two warriors, one waiting for the other to come. And he knew it would.
