Crossed Blades | The Sunless Cell | Heresy
The Guardian ventures into the Sunless Cell to stop Xivu Arath's ritual to tear the Echo from Eris' throne.
**
Eris Morn: Xivu Arath weaves a ritual to tear into my throne and steal away the Echo. Silence her, my Knife.
//The Guardian heads to the Dreadnaught.
Eris Morn: Once, these cells were kept by Oryx. He imprisoned defeated enemies and discarded progeny. To be stripped for chitin and repurposed into something useful. Now this prison is occupied by the Taken. And Xivu Arath’s Hive come to bring the war to them.
//The Guardian touches down on the Dreadnaught.
Sloane: No matter how we slice it, Xivu Arath gains power from fighting. We’re in a poor position to start. But we can minimize what she gains. Be efficient; strike fast. Disrupt her ritual before it can gain traction.
Xivu Arath: I KNOW YOUR TACTICS AS THE BLADE KNOWS THE MEAT OF OFFERING. I AM WITH YOU ALL ALONG.
Sloane: Ignore her.
//The Guardians follows signs of violence and combat, stealing victories from Xivu Arath.
Xivu Arath: INSTRUMENT OF WAR, BRING ME A FEAST.
Sloane: Her forces glory in these fights. They build tithes in battle, not only victory. Cut them short.
//The Guardians defeat the channelers of terror.
Echo of Navigation: What an elegant piece of violence.
Eris Morn: I see Xivu Arath’s ritual proceeds apace, if you reach beyond your own prison.
Echo of Navigation: So it does. And I see you are familiar with the art of fighting our God of War. You cut her battles short. Blunt, but respectable. I have in my time done the same.
Eris Morn: I am well aware.
//The Guardians tread deeper into the Dreadnaught.
Sloane: Taken putting up walls after the Hive are already inside? That’s not late, that’s strategy. They’re up to something.
Echo of Navigation: Xivu Arath’s hunters will become the hunted. They will have no retreat.
Sloane: What, no faith in your sister’s troops?
//The Guardian approaches the sealed door.
Sloane: Hive or Dread, doesn’t matter. Take them down while they’re off-balance!
Echo of Navigation: What a killing floor this would be.
//The Guardians breaks through the Taken barriers to unseal the doors.
Echo of Navigation: [laughs] Oh, I do see why she likes you.
Sloane: Eris, are you sure you can’t rein him in any more?
Echo of Navigation: Xivu Arath has something of mine. I can taste it from here. Sword edges and screaming.
Eris Morn: Not until we claim that artifact.
//The Guardian enters the Hanging Crypts.
Eris Morn: Nothing more than pockets of battle here. You must keep going deeper still.
Echo of Navigation: The deepest part of this prison has seen the most death, the most suffering.
Eris Morn: If you cannot bring yourself to provide something useful, be quiet.
Echo of Navigation: Useful? The Dreadnaught was made after my memory. But I understand the flow of energy here. You’re running out of time.
//The Guardian defeats the Taken Wardens.
Eris Morn: There! You are there. The Hive, and the Taken, and the ritual between them… The hilt of Willbreaker! By the relic of her brother’s sword, Xivu Arath would cleave the Dreadnaught from my throne.
Sloane: Willbreaker’s — we NEED that hilt. Guardian, get shooting.
//The Guardian battles with Obak-Hul.
Echo of Navigation: You treat the Taken as something apart from the Hive. They do have other species among their number. But it was I who made them. They are Hive. And their newfound curiosities serve me well.
//The Guardian defeats the Channelers of Terror.
Eris Morn: Good. You’ve disrupted the ritual. But something else has stepped into the gap.
Echo of Navigation: This is not my Taking. Knife of My Slaying, to arms.
Eris Morn: You have no authority here.
Sloane: What matters is taking it down won’t empower Xivu Arath. Right? Then we cut the matter.
//The Guardian claims Willbreaker's hilt.
Sloane: No more Hive in the area, activity’s dying down. Xivu Arath’s sword is still in the Dreadnaught, but everything else seems…fine?
Eris Morn: She will not soon be able to try again. For now, we have won — and we have Willbreaker’s hilt.
Sloane: What about Oryx?
Eris Morn: He’s secure. Discontented, but held fast.
Sloane: …I trust you.
Eris Morn: Do you hear him? Do you hear him intervening any further? He is secure.
Sloane: You do have control. I know that. But taking his advice is risky at best. Riskier than everything else you’ve done.
Eris Morn: I have him… I have him.
