The cold…it permeates our bones. The ice is a slick layer on every stone throughout the Icecrown Citadel. We enter into the dark dank halls of the citadel, an immediate chill coats us with evil intent and we peer uneasily around us seeking the cause.
Shrugging off the cold, Craydruid shifts into his ferocious bear form and marks a target for us to focus on. This signals to us that our leader has no fear, and so we all attempt to move forward under his direction. No one makes eye contact, lest we show our true emotions and buckle.
Our first foe is a skeletal monstrosity. He has a sickly bone grin and a spider like posture. My blades ring hard against his sturdy bone structure and I begin a murderous killing spree, leaping at his weak points that the others rip open for me. Curses coat his body from Chasey, and the warlock struggles to keep a steady chant faced with such evil. Shadovus begins to melt the skellies face and the bones begin to crack under the shadow pressure, Frozencast immediately sees this and casts a frost bolt to increase the pressure hoping for his face to explode.
The skeletal figure swipes with his sharp bony claws at Craydruid. Mantard and Rallus cast heal upon heal on his tough bear exterior ensuring everlasting life in this arduous battle. Pyrotess tired of seeing his leader being mauled Death grips the beast and drags the carcass towards himself, sacrificing his own life for the group. With tears of fury in our eyes for our fallen comrade, we all put forth a new energy into the fight. Rage fills our beings, and Banefoot hits Bloodlust. Our hands glow red with power, our speed increases and we murder the skeletal monster, ripping his bone grin off his face and crushing it under our feet.
The adrenaline passes and we stop and think of what may lie ahead. Rallus ressurects Pyrotess and we all work together to heal him and increase his ability with our strengths. It will be a difficult path to Arthas, but the fear has abated. We have defeated one of his minions together, and together we can pull through to defeat Arthas. We all look at each other, and move forward.
