Tectus
Written to Come With Me Now by KONGOS
They took a break to eat and replenish their flasks after breaking through the small blockade of ogres that tried their best (and failed) to hold back the fighters of Illuminatus. They now stood in a small amphitheater, watching three rock monsters waddle back and forth. The monsters weren’t paying any attention to the small group, instead going about their business without any concern that in a few short minutes they would join the numbers of the fallen.
Before they moved, Xallion took a moment to make sure everyone was ready to begin the next assault. A few people took a few extra seconds to swallow their last bite of food or the last draught of water, then stood and stretched. When they signaled they were ready, Xallion looked at Greymoon and Xandyr.
The bear and paladin charged forward at the three monsters, and behind them came the melee, pets, and demons, along with a volley of spells. One monster fell, then the second, then the third. In a matter of minutes it was all over.
“Is that it?” asked Azmodax. The shaman looked over at Helpfuldeath, who shrugged.
“When has our life ever been that easy?”
“All of never.”
As if to validate those words, the ground began to rumble. Out of the ground crawled something, but the dust and dirt it was kicking up created too much of a cloud to really see clearly. As the dust finally settled an elemental of stone stood with its back to them, so tall that they actually had to crane their heads back to be able to see its face.
“Tectus, de Living Mountain, huh?” Totez rubbed her nose with a smirk. The troll enhancement shaman cracked her neck and bounced a little. “Doesn’t seem so tough.”
“Yeah, you say that now.” Thanatoss said. The orc warrior checked the edge of his blade and sighed. The last thing he wanted to do was to chip his blade on rocks. Still, he looked at Tectus and knew a chipped sword would be the least of his worries if Tectus managed to defeat them.
Xallion snapped closed his dungeon journal and tucked it back into his pack. “Ai’ght. So dis is how de fight goes. We gonna attack ‘im, an’ he’s gonna be usin’ different attacks on us. Most important be de red cloud he gonna fart out at us. You see it comin’ for ya, ya run ta de right. He also gonna use a pillar attack. We gonna run ta de left for dat. Melee, ya gotta stay outta de cloud.”
“Doesn’t seem so hard.” said Azmodax with a grin, nudging Helpfuldeath with his elbow. Helpful only rolled his eyes at the shaman.
Xallion shook his head. “We ready?”
As soon as the signal was given to Greymoon, the ranged gathered around Xallion while the melee prepared themselves for the sprint to get into position and align themselves just right to avoid the red cloud. Greymoon flexed his claws into the cracked ground of the amphitheater, then charged forward with a bellow.
Tectus immediately turned toward the bear, a massive fist raising to squash Greymoon beneath it. For all his bulk, the Tauren druid was incredibly agile, avoiding the fist and digging his teeth and claws into the rock before it could pull back, taking chips off Tectus’ fist. More stone chips flew, cut free by swords and daggers and spells.
There was a loud shout, a shout that, for a moment, startled Xallion into thinking one of his team was hurt. Then he realized that Julip and Schio were turning, a chaos bolt and an arrow howling in toward a pale that had leaped down from above. Before he could even say anything, Greymoon was already there, sinking his teeth into the pale’s throat. A bigger pale was already attacking melee, but it too was going down fast.
“Julip!” Schio yelled suddenly. “Go right!”
Julip let out a gasp and quickly strafed right, running as fast as she could toward the right of the ranged group. At the same time, the group sprinted left as the ground beneath their feet began to rumble and shake. A heartbeat later, a giant spire erupted from the ground. Julip almost stumbled in surprise, staring at the spire for a second. Then she whirled, firing another salvo at Tectus, her black arrow slamming into the rock its body was made of and spraying chips everywhere. She rejoined the ranged group just as Jaycie had to sprint right.
The ground suddenly began to shake as Tectus’ deep voice boomed in their ears, and Mooses threw his hands toward the sky, praying to the Light to heal his friends as the upheaval threatened them with serious harm. As the Light filled the Tauren priest, and those around him, he watched as Tectus slowly began to break apart and sift back into the earth, leaving behind only a pile of sand.
“Did we get him?” asked Badlanguage.
Schio sighed. “Man, don’t you know the rule about asking that?”
“What’s that?”
“If you have to ask ‘did we get him’ chances are no, you didn’t get him.”
The ground exploded outward in a shower of rock and dirt. Instead of one giant monster, there were now two medium sized monsters. Greymoon and Xandyr grabbed one each, making the smaller version of Tectus focus on them instead of running rampant and trying to kill someone.
“Focus on Grey’s target!” Xallion yelled above the cacophony of steel striking stone and the roars of beasts. There was a heartbeat of silence as those who had focused on Xandyr’s target switched to Grey’s, and then the cacophony resumed with an even louder tempo. Xallion cursed softly as he heard Schio cry his name along with another, and he assumed his ghost wolf form and sprinted to the right, narrowly avoiding another pillar.
When he rejoined the group, he threw down his totem to help the group get through another upheaval as Grey’s target began to break apart into dust. As it crumbled, they quickly switched to Xandyr’s target, whittling it down as much as they could before the ground beneath their feet began to rumble again. Now there were four tiny versions of Tectus to deal with, besides the one Xandyr still grappled with.
“Focus on one!” Xallion yelled over the noise. “Bring ‘em down, one at a time!” He activated blood lust, just before he sprinted right to avoid the cloud that was chasing him again, throwing heals as fast as he could toward those who needed them. The first of the small ones fell, then the second. The third and fourth fell seconds before the blood lust wore off, giving them a few moments to breathe.
Then they turned to the remaining piece of Tectus, and focused on bringing it down. Xandyr leaped away as it fell, hefting up his shield as Greymoon joined him. The ground rumbled, dirt and rock and sand kicking up into the air as four more bits of Tectus appeared. This time it was far easier to deal with those four copies of Tectus, even without the blood lust. Xandyr raised his shield to deflect a fist aimed his way, the blow glancing off with a high-pitched screech as stone scraped against metal. Xandyr spun and thrust his sword into a gap between two pieces of stone in Tectus’ arm and tried to break a chunk of rock off. He had to retreat, though, to avoid the monster’s other fist coming in for him.
The paladin was joined by Sabaak and Martyrdom, the other two paladins hammering away at the mote of Tectus that was trying to squash their tank. They were soon joined by the rest of the melee, then the hunter pets and a demon. Under that relentless assault the final mote of Tectus fell into the ground, dissipating into bits of rock and dirt.
“Now did we get him?” Badlanguage asked, panting quietly as she nocked another arrow just in case.
The ground rumbled again and from the debris rose Tectus, the elemental rising up from the earth. A moment later, its deep voice rumbled through them all, and it fell forward, crashing to the ground hard enough to make the fighters nearly lose their balance and fall.
Badlanguage grinned widely. “Yeah. We got him.”
There was a collection of curses directed in Badlanguage’s direction and a number of sighs and prayers to deities, but after a few moments, the group retreated back through the amphitheater doorway they had come in from, and took a sharp left. Before them was a portal that would take them into the deeper parts of Highmaul, and one by one, they stepped through.
