Infernal Resolve. (SirOni)

Spoiler

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Name: Krenn Kolenth

Age: 21

Traits:
Magic - 0
Small Blades - 1

Description: Krenn looks just about like any other goblin scurrying around the very depths of Hell; green-skinned, large bat-like ears, a protruding nose, and a mess of hair which has recently been trimmed back to look more formal and dignified. However, whilst all of his kin are small in stature none are more so than Krenn, who stands at just shy of three foot. His height, as well as his slender frame, has often made Krenn a target of those bigger than him, both from the more imposing races dominating Hell as well as his own kind. Though unlike most of his brethren, Krenn has the cunning, wit, and guile shared by many of the 'more intelligent' races, both of Hell and its connecting dimensions. His mind, coupled with his lithe build, has served Krenn throughout his life to avoid any unnecessary trouble. His current gear consists of items scrounged up; a wicked-looking dagger and crossbow, a pair of boots and gloves, vest, shirt, and pants in various shades of black and grey, as well as a hooded cloak.

Attitude:All his life Krenn has watched his kin be subjugated and abused by those that consider themselves the 'superior' races of Hell, worked and beaten until their miserable lives were finally snuffed out and freed from their suffering. This wasn't the fate that Krenn had in mind for himself, and unlike the rest of his ilk he craved more than what they were destined for. And so, cold and cunning, Krenn has killed or evaded any that would treat him much the same as the rest of his kind, and through his observations has seen the pie that the so-called superior races eat from, and has savoured the biggest piece for himself, through whatever means it takes.

Extra Notes: Nothing really to note, you know what Krenn's all about.

Note

Spoiler

As I've said, your first post will take place after Caulder's. But as you can see, the thread is up and we're ready to roll. Hell has special rules that you'll unlock or rather discover as you go. But I have faith you'll adapt quickly.

Re: Infernal Resolve. (SirOni)

Krenn woke up on fire blasted earth, his chest on fire, figuratively speaking, which meant something given where he was, and admittedly very sore elsewhere too. He could think of worse jobs, and worse days. But the most annoying thing to be seen, apart from the mindwarping, semi barren, fire torn landscape, with it's spurting spires of deep red flame, the constant sound of an earthquake ready to erupt under him, and a blood red sky, was a wooden sign, which read very plainly.

Welcome! You are, if you haven't guessed, Obviously Dead. And this isn't the good end. Please enjoy your Eternity in Hell.
-With Love
Your Queen; Villana.
p.s. That's not my real name.

Other then that his day had been fucking great! he'd killed his target! He was making a clean getaway! Looking forward to a good vacation, and then... O shit, now he remembered. Apparently being run over by a cart and it's horses was fairly fatal as well as embarrassing. He'd been killed by a blind corner of all things on Central street.

Mother. Fucker.

It wouldn't be so bad if this was the first time he'd died. At least last time he'd been purposefully murdered. But now not only was he dead. Again. He was in a completely different place. The first time it had just been a few minutes in Limbo. Nope, this was Hell, which meant he wouldn't be waking up from this one. He was still dressed, that was a plus, and semi armed. His knives were still on his belt.. And his crossbow... All of the gear he hadn't dumped in his mad dash to make a clean getaway. Which left him really with his knives, his crossbow, and about 4 bolts. But at least he had them. Now it was the question about what to do about being dead...

 

[SirOni]

Re: Infernal Resolve. (SirOni)

For a good long while there was darkness. Pure black. All encompassing and unyielding. But despite it threatening to completely overwhelm him, Krenn found the void he now drifted aimlessly within strangely peaceful. He knew not why, nor the reason that brought the goblin there in the first place, but the void that he now found himself floating in felt like the only place he'd ever known. Not that Krenn could recall his life before the darkness, and that wasn't for lack of trying. And while he thought that fact should worry him, it didn't. To Krenn, his life was the void, and the void was his life.

And then the diminutive goblin woke up.

Pain tore through every muscle and joint in Krenn's body. A fire blazed in his very being, threatening to consume him, to extinguish his existence and return the goblin to the empty void. A metaphorical fire, of course, though as Krenn's pain began to subside he noted that there was a very literal risk of becoming little more than ash as he took in his surroundings.

"Oh, fuck me sideways..." Krenn winced, coughing violently mid-sentence as he sat up and took stock of the situation. And as he took in the barren horrorscape that seemingly stretched on for miles around; the pillars of flame erupting like geysers from the craggy, blackened earth, the rocky mountains looming in the distance, their tops twisted into macabre figures, and the sky akin to an ocean of blood, Krenn knew one thing; he was in hell, and that meant Krenn was well and truly fucked.

It all slowly came back to the goblin as he climbed to his feet and dusted himself down. His last mission. The assassination of some asshole big-wig politician. It went smoothly enough. Sure, the bastard had better protection than his contractor had told him about, but that just meant more meat to slice up. And that politician. He was a pathetic sack of flesh. Blubbering and pleading, offering up riches to spare his life. Krenn took the treasure obviously, the goblin recalled, a toothy smile spreading across his features as he replayed the memory in his mind. He took the treasure, and then slit the fucker's throat.

And the getaway was a breeze as well. Too easy, the goblin thought, grumbling slightly as he checked his equipment. Everything seemed to be in place, though the lack of bolts was worrisome. No, he'd have to get some more at the earliest opportunity. Though yes, perhaps he should've been more alert when fleeing the scene of the crime. "Broke my first fuckin' rule, didn' I; keep stock of your fuckin' surroundin's." The goblin cursed himself silently. "Some fat cunt farmer no doubt, reaping the rewards of killin' me. Bet they left my corpse festerin' in some shitty gutter. Feeding some fuckin' rats."

Krenn knew not what to do right now, though he did have a name; Villana. Well, a pseudonym really, but the fact that the owner of the name was clearly one of, if not, the ruler of Hell was plain enough. Clearly she'd have answers, and if he didn't like the sound of them then Krenn would simply kill her. Yes, getting to her seemed like the way to go, but before that he supposed he'd have to get a gang together again. It wouldn't be easy he imagined, but if he showcased his skills first then maybe likeminded goblins would show their faces. So, with his goals in mind Krenn set out in a random direction, his eyes and ears keeping him alert to his surroundings.

Re: Infernal Resolve. (SirOni)

As the world seemed to break, and seal, and rebreak around him with a constant thunder that had nothing to do with the sky, Krenn was glad of his bloodline, particularly his ears, since they gave him slight warning if he was about to step into something viable to explode.

But he did seem to have half a plan, and he wasn't about to let this place stop him. Why should he? he probably put plenty of his generations idiots into this place all on his own! Fuck! This place owed him money!

But for now it was move forward. Wherever the fuck Forward would lead, and it seemed very much to be literally straight ahead towards, at this distance, what seemed to be a huge collection of spires, jutting out from the cracked and ravaged plain like some great wound in the earth, black lightning constantly splitting the air around them while their tips, thrust into a boiling peak of grey clouds, flashed with an eerie red light with every strike.

Protection from the natural phenomenon, in a sense, the stink of sorcery if he'd ever seen it, and notably, no other set of structures like it within his fairly impressive scope of vision given his position. Which was upon a slightly raised small mesa.

he could already tell though, that getting there would be unpleasant, as the entire area around it seemed to be sand, more notably, a heatwashed Desert, dunes now and again bubbling like molten glass before spewing another spire of flames into the air. He could do it, he knew he could, but he'd be working for it if he took the straightest route. The only other option for getting there seemed to be along the wall of his Mesa, which appeared to be little more then a seperated mountain shelf, the ridgeline extending around the desert towards the spires, pockmarked with caves and tunnels on his left hand side, along the mountain's face... It was up to him.

 

[SirOni]

Re: Infernal Resolve. (SirOni)

The barren wilderness that Krenn had found himself in seemed to stretch on for miles, unchanging despite the constant destruction and rebirth of its features. The goblin cursed under his breath. He was pissed enough already from seemingly having finally bit the dust for the last time, but now to find himself wandering such a drab, nondescript place as this? Krenn was more than a little insulted. He deserved better than this, owed more than this. "I was a fuckin' legend, and this is how I spend my afterlife?" Krenn was determined. Once he reached civilisation some rich fucker was going down. The bastard was going to suffer slowly, bled dry of everything he knew, every method used again them. And once they've finally given up? Then they'll be put out of their misery.

But first he had to find a way across the expanse of boiling sand stretching out before him.

A quick scope of the surroundings and Krenn was sure that the desert before him would certainly be the death of the goblin. Though, could he even die? Krenn didn't know, but he surmised that even if he was dead, 'dying' again in Hell probably wouldn't be the wisest of choices. Maybe it'd destroy the goblin utterly, maybe not. Krenn knew one thing though; it wasn't worth the risk trying, not now that he'd been given a new lease on life.

The only logical conclusion that Krenn could see for him to take then, much to his pleasure, were what appeared to be the system of caverns in the rocky mountain skirting the border of the hellish desert. Sure, it would most likely house threats and dangers of its own, but Krenn would be in his element. The narrow tunnels, the dimly lit caves. The goblin's blood ran hot with excitement at the thought, and he smiled wickedly. Today was turning out to be a good day after all.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Infernal Resolve. (SirOni)

Looking into the first of the caves he came across, looking to use the ridgeline system instead of traversing the openly hostile desert, Krenn could smell the sulfur of hellfire as it poured just under the surface, the inside of the tunnels sweltering, but not impassable.

Though he'd be uncomfortable, it wouldn't kill him to use any of these tunnels provided they were empty, and apart from the pulsing veins of the planets life blood sometimes pushing along the walls, filled with molten stone that provided the occasionally light, they seemed to be.

It wouldn't be a short trip. What may have taken a full day across the open sand, would likely take him as many as three. Meaning he had several very basic priorities. Something to Drink being the first and likely the most important besides not being murdered or accidentally dying.

Following this path left him 3 equally viable options, and there really was no simple way to tell what was better. He could enter this first tunnel, and see where it lead. Judging from the way the wind was drafting in, not out, it was likely that this tunnel fed into a larger one. Or, her could continue along the ridge line exactly where he was, trying to stay outside.

The last option was to climb down, and skirt the desert along the ridgeline wall, where the volcanic activity below seemed controlled by the ridge's tunnels like a system of pressure vents.

 

[SirOni]

Re: Infernal Resolve. (SirOni)

Krenn's nose wrinkled as the stench of sulphur filled his nostrils and he grumbled quietly. The goblin wasn't put off by foul smells, corpses didn't exactly give off a fragrant scent after all and the assassin in fact relished the scent of death, but sulphur had a habit of clinging on like an old flame that just didn't get the message. He didn't like the idea of having to breathe it in for so long, but, looking down at the scorched, flaming desert below him, there wasn't much of an option. So, gripping the handle of his largest and most vicious dagger, Krenn slowly made his way down into the breezy tunnel, cautious and alert to whatever threats lay ahead.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Infernal Resolve. (SirOni)

The interior of the tunnel, much to his delight, did indeed seem to slope upwards and likely, judging from the airflow, towards another opening in the cliff face. Well lit by flowing veins of magma in the walls, and without anything to hide from him, something the very world itself didn't see as too much of a threat considering it's excessively lethal nature.

Moving inwards, Krenn found that the tunnel was indeed fairly devoid of any threats to worry about, but as he got further in, he could see several tunnels dug through what should have been very solid rock, just big enough for him to get through, and he could feel a steady vibration through the stones, the sound of something biting and chewing steadily echoing through the walls. Likely some kind of burrower or worm. That judging from the holes, was bigger then he was.

And then the sound stopped...

 

[SirOni]

Re: Infernal Resolve. (SirOni)

Despite the seeming lack of threats within the mountain (aside from the glow of magma flowing occasionally through the walls), Krenn kept his guard up and his senses alert to anything as he slowly made his way deeper into the rocky crag that bordered the volcanic desert. The goblin knew better than to relax in areas he was unfamiliar with. Hell, even within places he was intimately knowledgeable of Krenn knew to always keep alert. People were always out to get his kind, both as a goblin and an assassin, and to let his guard down would spell a quick death for him. Krenn chuckled, the irony of that thought not lost on him.

Though at the sight of the tunnels bored deep into the walls of solid rock the goblin's eyes narrowed. He didn't know what could have created such tunnels, he wasn't as well versed with creatures and monsters as he was with people, though Krenn assumed it was some kind of burrower. A worm or some other similar kind of creature. Whatever it was it didn't bode well for the diminutive killer, and by the sound of feel of it it sounded like the beast or beasts were still within the area. And then, suddenly, the sound stopped.

"Shit. Shit. Shitshitshitshitshit." The goblin's heart almost seemed to stop as he strained his ears, listening intensely, trying to sense where the creature was or was heading to. With his biggest dagger now drawn and his other hand resting on the hilt of a second, smaller dagger, Krenn bent low, poised and ready to strike should it come to it. Or run, if needs be.

Status Krenn HP 2/5 Wyrm 5/6

Standing still, listening intently, Krenn would have likely had enough time to dodge any attack he could see. The problem was that he reacted to the wrong attack that he could hear, instead shifting away from the wall as he heard movement again, instead of forwards or backwards, meaning that when his true assailant burst up through the tunnel floor, he was not only ill prepared, but caught off gaurd.

As the long bladed fin of the Wyrm came up, it cut across the back of his leg while the impact of the large, armored tunneler threw him as well as splashes of magma and hard stone across the adjacent wall, bouncing him off of it as well as splashing him, small burns flaring across his chest and left cheek as he countered purely out of reflex, his long dagger slashing expertly through the Wyrm's 3rd eye, of which it had 4, all surrounding a vicious acid dripping central maw full of teeth.

As it lunged for him again, both in pain and anger, Krenn sidestepped away, heading further into the tunnel and his own counter blow was turned away by the brown and red wyrm's armored hide, thick segmented plates making up the brunt of it's body, which was easily 4 times as long, and twice as thick as he was.

What he did about it now was up to him, but while he'd wounded it, he had to either think of a way to Keep wounding it without it killing him, or retreat, there weren't many other options in the enclosed space of the tunnels.

 

[SirOni]

Re: Infernal Resolve. (SirOni)

Perhaps due to his inexperience with fighting things other than humanoids and the occasional canine, or due to the unfamiliarity of the situation he now found himself in, Krenn found himself at a disadvantage against the great wyrm that had ambushed him despite the goblin's years of training and innate dexterousness.

The assassin let out a cry of pain as the wyrm burst from the ground and its fin caught the back of his leg, smashing the goblin against the wall, whilst the attack sprayed debris and splashes of magma at him. He grunted as he climbed to his feet, catching the great beast with a lucky reflexive slash as it turned away, carving up one of its many eyes before the tunneller moved out of Krenn's reach.

Unfortunately it would seem that no god smiled down upon the goblin as each of his attacks was repelled by the beast's thick chitinous armour, though thankfully Krenn's own natural abilities managed to keep him from becoming worm food for the moment.

Krenn was furious. It'd barely been an hour since he arrived in Hell and already it seemed as if he was about to die again, if that was even possible. This creature was too much to take on in circumstances such as this, he knew he needed to even the odds in his favour or just plain fuck off and hope the beast left him be. So, despite wanting nothing more than to make this wyrm his bitch Krenn decided to best course of action was to flee, deeper into the tunnel system and currently just hope for the best.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Infernal Resolve. (SirOni)

Spoiler

Rolls!!! ....... Escape! Woo!

Krenn, working instead to get the fuck away from whatever the Wyrm actually qualified as, managed to nimbly and easily dodge a thick wad of what hissed like acid on the stone discharged from the Wyrm's tooth filled maw, side stepping into a tumble and then tearing ass into the tunnel further away.

Outside the ground, the Wyrm was slower then he was, it had missed it's first and best chance to eat him when it had come out of the ground, and despite being a little bruised and a little burned, Krenn was moving now, and soon enough came up a steep hill and back out onto the ridge, about 30 yards higher then where he'd started.

So it was as he'd thought, the tunnel system was a maze, created by those creatures. It would span the entire ridgeway, and judging by his new view of the exploding desert... they likely wouldn't stray outside of the stone where they were safer. But he could feel the ground rumbling again. So he either needed to find a way to more completely hide his footsteps, or he had to keep moving. It was obvious there would be no handouts in this place. No easy breaks. And he'd never felt more alive.

 

[SirOni]

Re: Infernal Resolve. (SirOni)

With expert reflexes, Krenn ducked out of the way of whatever the wyrm had spewed at him, no doubt some kind of corrosive acid or poison. Something the goblin would no doubt want to try and harvest at a later date. As he tucked into a roll and launched himself back up, Krenn dashed forward, deeper into the tunnel system and away from the massive beast intent on eating the diminutive greenskin.

Krenn let out a loud bark of a laugh as he looked back and saw the oversized maggot flail slowly trying to keep up with him, and as the assassin put more and more distance between him and it he realised this cavern system was more than likely made by that thing and others of its kind. Krenn knew his journey was going to be a difficult one, but if he was to stick with this mountain he knew it would be even more perilous. Those creatures had the homefield advantage, though with their aboveground weakness it may not be so tough. He didn't know their numbers, but so long as he could exploit their weakness it might not be so bad.

Yes, Krenn thought, he'd stick with this path for now. Though, the goblin knew he'd have to limit his tunnel trekking to as little as possible to lower the risk of becoming a bite sized snack. So, on his ledge, the pint-sized murderer looked around, trying to find any half decent footholds to give him an easier time of climbing up the mountain.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Infernal Resolve. (SirOni)

Climbing Down would have been a fantastically shit idea, but Up seemed to work out heavily in Krenn's favor as he started to move up the ridge. By the time he'd made the next level, the heat had dropped off to something more bearable, and his wyrm friend, apart from looking around blindly for him down below, seemed to have given up.

But cresting the ridge, he hit another problem, and that was the obvious signs of a populated camp, tents, poles, firepits, even something that used to be alive and probably distinguishable spitted above one of those pits. But no people, nothing alive that he could see.

The camp in front of him was probably a good 60 yards, and would hold maybe 30 people comfortably, but again there was no one there. It wasn't abandoned, everything seemed fresh and maintained. That is until a beat of wings behind him and a chuckle got his attention.

Do I eat it? Or do I take it? or do I fuck it. What do I do with it. A distinctly female voice behind him said while he was still peaking over the edge, hanging fairly precariously, a glance showing him a large winged, nude woman floating easily, horns protruding from her temples, while her skin was a light blue color. A spaded tail slid around her thighs like a coiled snake and her eyes were..... Shit! looking away from her eyes, he realized he had turned further away from the wall and almost fallen. She only giggled.

Friend. Or Foe.

 

[SirOni]

Re: Infernal Resolve. (SirOni)

"Well, this is convenient," The goblin thought to himself as he crested the ridge, wiping the sweat from his brow as he caught sight of the camp, more than a little tired. It was obviously in use, its occupants most likely out for the day, but for now unoccupied and unused. Everything was fair game, and Krenn would make sure to take advantage of that fact. And hey, if he could find a safe looking place to hide, he could always put his murdering skills to use. Krenn smiled and let out a low grunt of a laugh at that thought, getting to kill someone after the shit sandwich his day had been so far would really make up for it. Though as the diminutive killer made to enter the camp he stiffened up at the sound of movement behind him.

"It? I'm guessin' you don't get many goblins 'round here then eh, missy?" Krenn said gruffly, glancing briefly at the demoness that very obviously had no shame before looking down, the goblin making sure he didn't walk himself right off the cliff that he had only just climbed up. "An' I'm also guessin' that decision is up to you. A man's got to defend himself if he's attacked, after all. But I'm certain I'm more useful to you alive... especially if you want someone killed." Krenn had no desire to fight this woman. He'd never been to Hell before, nor had he heard much about its inhabitants, which was all the more reason to not fight whoever this whore thought she was. He was a legendary killer, to be sure, but even he had reservations about fighting a being that he knew nothing about.

 

[Courage Wolf]

Re: Infernal Resolve. (SirOni)

Krenn's reservations about possibly fighting a creature he knew nothing about seemed to be well founded as he entirely failed to properly answer her question. Hrm? Killed? But you see...

Spoiler

Krenn Will! 11
Succubus! ... nat 20. Welp.

she said, raising her hand, which glowed suddenly with a nimbus to match her skin. I'm already pretty good at that... she answered flatly, turning her head to the side while her eyes widened and Krenn felt himself lifted off the ground like he was a toy and moved out into open space, the ground now far below him. Before... she let him go. Again, Krenn tried to blink back to the wall, but she'd pulled him too far out and down he went, his last thoughts being that he was really getting tired of this place and it had only been a few hours.

Krenn awoke with a start again, his body sore, and with a distint impression that he had bounced rather impressively down several solid points along the ridge before a wyrm much larger then the ones he had fought caught him just before he hit the ground in a less then helpful manner... Much less then helpful...

There was a new sign standing where he woke.

Welcome to Hell! again.
I'm so glad you enjoyed your first day! And I'm sure there will be many others like it! :3

You know what's fun? Finding alll the different animals to play with here! But really, it's for the best, someone asks a question that you just answer it...Quickly Because well. Let's be honest here. Some of the demons feed on intelligent souls and it can drive them fairly insane! Isn't that Fun!? I think it is. Took me AGES to go from Insane all the way back to Sane again.

Fun Fact! This Insanity can be prevalent and manifests in strange ways like
1: Paranoia!
2: Tendency Towards Extreme Violence!
3: Schizophrenia!
4: Multiple Personalities! My Favourite!
5: Unquenchable thirst for Dick! I've never actually gotten over this one. But what can you do?
6: My Personal Favourite! Loss of Identity! This can be tricky for a shapeshifter. Trust me.
7: The Feeling that you've been somewhere before. Like you. Right Now. Krenn. Really, what just happened was hilarious! I haven't laughed that hard in years!
8: The idea that that heavy book to your left? Is a consolation prize. But it is really. Think of it as a comprehensive Guide to Hell. because while that blue bitch doesn't have a need for a skilled Killer? I do. Make it to Me, and we can have a good hard talk about sending you back topside for some Real work. Interested? if you are, open that book. It'll give you a leg up. Consider it an advance on your first payment. And your first contract? A certain blue skinned slut getting too big headed for her own good. I'd do it myself. Extravagantly. But, I'm a bit tied up at the moment with a Dragon. So. You can either kill her. She'll come back to life of course somewhere else in hell, but reduced in strength. OR! And I'd Really personally appreciate this one, you can use that sealing collar behind you and bring her to me Alive... Manage that? And I'll have to consider not giggling every time you think about yourself as Legendary. We have different Legends down here...

Whether this new sign put him in a particularly good mood or not, it seemed to be Insistently and Directly addressed to Him. And it would bounce up from the ground and flop in front of him until he read it. True to it's word, there was a heavy black tome to his left, and an equally heavy collar made of silver metal with a name already embossed across it. "Fereline"

One more thing. a voice said from behind him suddenly, a new succubus standing there, and the author of the sign it seemed as she was standing there, arms crossed, and holding a weapon nearly three times his own size, a scythe that practically hummed with malice.

Since you're an assassin, this will appeal to you. For each life you take here, you will gather a splinter of that beings soul. It's not as good as collecting full ones, but it'll help. They can be used as Currency, or you can eat them. They will increase your physical or magical strength depending on what you kill. Think on that. she said, leaning on the scythe. Her body was covered in leather straps in a sort of harness that glowed with tightly inscribed pink runes that matched the wild color of her hair, as well as her eyes while two wide and thick horns curled from her temples around the side of her head, that joined to slide down her neck much like a circlet or a crown. There was no mistaking the power that washed off this woman like an aura. but unlike the weapon, it wasn't Malice she shimmered with. It was Intense Interest. The feeling of Being Watched, that set the hair on the back of Krenn's neck on edge.

Before you try and stab me. This is an illusion. A way of meeting face to face, without being, face to face. Next time though, try very hard to look up into the sky for threats. Many of us with wings keep to the air where we know a threat on the ground will rarely look for us. Best of Luck, and before you get any ideas about later? she continued, reaching up to tap a heavy silver collar around her own neck. I don't have an owner. This is to keep my anger in check. I have a tendency to lose my temper without it. So sadly no, I don't have an owner nor am I sealed. So. Will you give it another good ol try? she asked, smiling, before vanishing into brilliant blue and red flames with a giggle, the sign fading with her.

Now the sign read something else more annoying. P.S.! I was the one driving the wagon! Neener neener Neeeener! before it disappeared completely

Re: Infernal Resolve. (SirOni)

"What the fuck?!" Krenn cried out as the demon levitated him up into the air as easily as one would pluck a stuffed doll from the ground, toying with him before flinging the helpless goblin. "You sonnovabitch, I'll kill you!" He spat angrily, desperately flailing his arms in the hopes of grabbing onto something, anything, to stop himself from plummeting to the ground. Krenn had just got here and he had no intentions of it ending so soon.

When Krenn woke up for the second time he roared furiously, angry with himself and that demon bitch. It took the goblin several minutes to calm down enough to notice the new, incredibly energetic, sign, and paused briefly only to read it. Krenn's features contorted more and more in rage as his eyes scanned down it, its words taunting the assassin.

Though as he finished reading the sign, a wide malicious smirk spread across the goblin's face. Krenn didn't care much for the bitch that kept leaving him these signs, but if it meant being able to get payback on that blue-skinned whore that threw him off the mountain, well, he'd just have to play along for now. He didn't like the idea of just capturing her though, Krenn wanted to kill her. Longed for it. But he'd restrain himself for now. Maybe torture her for a bit. Cut off an ear or finger. After all, the sign said nothing about her being in one piece. He picked up the collar and tome, no intent on reading it right now, and was about to set off once more, before a female voice sounding behind the goblin startled him.

Krenn whipped around, a dagger already drawn, and swung it towards the speaker. The assassin was surprised to find his blade pass harmlessly through the woman, and as he took in the succubus he realised she was most likely immensely powerful. It's a good thing she's not really here then, Krenn thought to himself. He listened to her silently, not particularly caring who she was or what she wanted, though he quickly became more attentive upon the mention of being able to power himself from the shards of souls left from his kills.

The goblin smiled widely as he set off once more, leaving the apparition behind him, his senses alert, as he ran back towards the cave system he had been so unceremoniously tossed off to wipe that smug fucking smile off the succubus' face. Krenn was going to enjoy taking her down.

Good Luck. the succubus said behind him, smiling wider as Krenn set off for mothafucking Revenge. Something everyone in Hell could get behind. He had the collar, he had her last location, her name, and even her species, and an idea about her abilities. he was in a far better position now then he had been in meeting Fereline the first time. heading back to the ridge, he remembered the worms.

As if in answer to a second run through hell, One appeared in front of him outside the ridgeline near the first tunnels, it's ambushed ruin as it blatantly missed, or rather, had come out looking for something else as a cascade of stones had struck the ground when the ridge rumbled with activity, the worm looking around blindly. He could sneak around the fucker, or try to kill it, but his destination was the same. Onwards and Upwards, both in reality, and in fame if he started making contracts in Hell where the multiverses' most reknowned killers resided.

"Thought you'd get the jump on me, eh?" Krenn thought, his eyes glued on the wyrm that had suddenly appeared but apparently hadn't noticed him yet. The goblin didn't know if it were the one that had attacked him before, but it was in his way to his destination, and armed with the knowledge of every kill granting him a piece of the beings soul, by fuck did he have every intention of slaughtering it.

Using his apparent surprise to his advantage, Krenn would round his way to behind the great beast, intending on scaling it and destroying its eyes.

Wyrm pulls itself out of the ground

As he started to move, the Wyrm immediately rounded on him, hissing and snarling as Krenn tried to circle about. Without eyes of any kind, it still managed to easily follow every step krenn made. However, Making the bold attack anyway, Krenn scored a slash along the creatures underbelly, causing ichor green blood to drop onto the ground with an angry hiss, scorching the stone, the Wyrm slamming it's head as it turned to try and follow sending Krenn sprawling in answer.

Having struck Krenn, the Wyrm had a good idea of how large, or in this case, small Krenn actually was, and responded by pulling itself entirely from the ground, it's maw opening in a scream that resounded along the ridge face.
