Snippet #1813460

"Bah. Lots of help you lot were." Torga called back. In the ensuing fracas, it seemed that he had overestimated his group's ability to aid the green-skin shaman. He had to cause a tremor and collapse the hallway to get rid of the Children. None of the cultists had survived the cave-in, and Torga was lucky that he had a say where the rocks had fallen. He grumbled as he made his way to the courtyard with Beelzes and the others, the baked on blood starting to flake off of his face.

He was definitely starting to regret siding with The Paragon after all.

Upon arriving in the courtyard, the first voice he heard was Wrath's. "Take them. Alive, if you can."

"He better not be talking about those damn cultists," Torga thought out loud. He was still recollecting the events that had occurred not but a few minutes prior. He had hoped to be owed at least a bit of mutual respect from his squad-mates, however it seemed that things were only going to get more complicated from this point on. Perhaps their respect was something he had to earn; He definitely expected that much from The Paragon. He continued his disgruntled grumbling as he made it closer to the concentrated mass of soldiers. He wasn't about to be caught off guard without some fodder in the way. He half expected a dragon to fall from the sky. These cultists weren't particularly known for their subtlety.

Torga thought about what there had to be done around the prison. He had already done his part. There was no need, he thought, to put himself in harm's way anymore. He looked down at his now sheathed weapons, still glistening with slowly drying blood. His sword had taken quite a bit of damage from the intensity of the heat, a reminder of the danger that even the lowest cultists presented to a seasoned warrior such as Torga. It might be necessary to reequip himself with better arms at the next opportunity; The Paragon owed his that much, at least.

Torga grunted in frustration one more time as he made his way to the middle of the bulk of soldiers, awaiting further orders.
