Asherons Call: The Battle is Over

In Zaikhal, Nuhimudra has opened a portal into the breeding hive of the Ancient olthoi queen. She awaits Dereth's defenders.

Nuhmudira reels as if struck from a powerful blow. She screams, "The Queen did not come. She called her for the guardians to defend this breeding pit. You must hold against them! I will begin finding where it is they were called from and sending through those with poison!"

Nuhmudira shudders and nearly falls to her knees, a deep wound opens across her stomach. "I have found the first food store! Quickly, those of you with poison go through and ruin this food store."

Gq Cover Guy has poisoned the first of the olthoi food stores. As the poison spreads, the guardian who was called to defend the Queen's breeding chamber clamors to return to the food store.

Nuhmudira nearly stumbles, as if struck by a mighty blow. Her voice is strong as it echoes through the hive. "Another food store has been located. Through this portal, though of you with the poison. The guards below cannot be slaid, but we can draw them away from the fight against those within the pit."

Kheldon Silk has poisoned the second of the olthoi food stores. As the poison spreads, the guardian who was called to defend the Queen's breeding chamber clamors to return to the food store.

Nuhmudira groans and speaks in an almost dual-toned voice, "A portal, to their...next food source. Quickly, through the portal, the defenders need our assistance. Bring the poison though.

Og Sux s has poisoned the third of the olthoi food stores. As the poison spreads, the guardian who was called to defend the Queen's breeding chamber clamors to return to the food store.

Nuhmudira's voice carries on the wind, shrill, alien and wholly not her own. "The last food storage, I have found it. Go through the portal and do what must be done. We have earned her ire and she draws near."

Nuhmudira winces and nearly crumples to the ground, a deep gash is cut across her face. "Children of Ispar! Stand as one!"

Venomous Shadows has poisoned the last of the olthoi food stores. As the poisons spreads, the guardian who was called to defend the Queen's breeding chamber clamors to return to the food store.

Sensing the failure of her guardians, the Ancient Queen stirs and makes her was to the breeding hive.

Nuhmuhidra speaks in a frightening voice, "My children, they have poisoned the food my children, I can smell it now, it seeps everywhere through my breeding hive. The little ones assail me from all sides. I demand the same of you. Rise through the surface of their world, strike them down so that they may become the host for our food."

Nuhmudira howls in pain and crumples to the ground, her voice taking on the shrill aspect it once had, "You cannot keep my children from me. They will feel my mind again and then shall we revisit upon you, the suffering you have inflicted upon me."

Blood swells from the corner of Nuhmudira's eyes. As the blood tears cascade down her cheeks, a shrill noise shudders across the world. "My children, no!" Nuhmudira's face contorts into a grim visage, thr woulds across her body begin to heal. As she begins speaking, her voice takes on the sound of hundreds of voiced singing in perfect harmony and unison. "Your rein is done here. Your children have abandoned you, betraying your will because of your hubris. You are defeated."

As Karack prevails, the olthoi queen retreats into the darkness, she pulls the walls of the tunnel down behind her. The sound of crumbling stone can be heard echoing through the chamber.

Nuhmudira glances about wildly, "You are all heroes. All heroes."

Nuhudira leaves the final hive without flourish. As she disappears a fell voice begins a low, grim laughter that draws across the world. The laughter slowly dissipates and is swallowed by the sound of the wind.
