The Brood Horror
The intruder is soft. The flesh cries out with a flavor of sweet, desperate terror. This one is mine to consume.
Kaelthas
No, stay back. I am one of yours. I serve the queen. Help me!
The Brood Horror ignores the pathetic whimpering. Its massive, chitinous mandibles descend with the force of a falling portcullis, snapping shut around the cultist's torso. Bones crunch audibly in the damp cavern air.
Nogandar
The creature is undisciplined and savage. It revels in the kill, leaving itself completely exposed. A pity I require its strength elsewhere, but today, it serves as a distraction.
Blood sprays across the cold stone, painting the Spider-Masked Cultist who remains frozen in his paralyzed state. He is a silent witness to his companion's brutal end.
Nogandar
Feast well, beast. Your gluttony hides my approach, and by the time you realize the trap, it will be far too late.

Nogandar
The beast gorges itself, oblivious to the threads of life unraveling around it. It is the perfect time to strike.
Nogandar
Your hunger ends here.
Nogandar thrusts his hand forward, his fingers clawing at the very air. Crimson arcs of hungry energy snap from his palm, tethering themselves to the Brood Horror and the paralyzed cultist alike.
The Brood Horror
A cold wind... my strength, it slips away into the void.
The creature lets out a high, chitinous shriek as its massive frame begins to wither. The vibrant purple life force of the prey flows in glowing, jagged streams directly into Nogandar's grasping hand.
Nogandar
So sweet. The corruption of the Spider Queen is woven into their blood, and now, it empowers me instead. How will they react when the predator becomes the prey?
