Several minutes later, the answer becomes even more clear. The creature is, in fact, trailing behind another, a human-sized shape, a four-armed, humanoid creature, covered in thick, black, chitinous armor. As it gets closer, Draiss, and many others, can make out that the creature is, in fact, a 'she', and, despite the armor, very attractively formed, although her eyes, while intelligent, are cold and alien, nearly insectile. She leads the monstrous swarm, as she walks calmly towards the city. Once she's close enough that her voice will carry, she announces, "I am come to do business in your town. I intend no harm, only trade. I bring with me these creatures, for they are as much a part of me as anything." Her eyes scan the defenders along the wall, scrutinizing each, giving barely a pause to any, but the deities, staring at them for a few, long seconds with those piercing eyes. While she might lack his power outside of here, she might be more than a match for Draiss, in this power-nullifying field. And, he has a sense, she'd be far from helpless outside; there's is a strong psychic link between her and the swarm, and it seems to feed both ways.
