Ssarak Dyreackthanose

---

Ssarak was startled when the wall just ahead of the group came crashing down. His first thought was that an enraged Tyrael had found them. He braced himself for whatever might come next, but to his surprise, it was the guardsman, Grey who came walking through the opening. 

[color=f7941d]”Grey?”[/color] Ssarak began in surprise before looking briefly to the Naga. [color=f7941d]”Hold! He is an ally.”[/color] He shouted, immediately striking back against the ridge hounds that had tried to get past his shield. One jumped off of the back of one of its fallen allies in an attempt to leap on Ssarak’s head, but was met only by the cold steel of a bash from his shield.

[color=f7941d]”Naga survivors…from Mesa Gaan. The Matriarch herself….and even Mar’s brother is here.”[/color] Ssarak explained between swings and thrusts of his sword. He had not yet explained to the Naga who he was, or even the fact that he recognized Lyamis, so there would likely be some surprise from them on how he recognized them. 

Similarly to one of the first hounds Ssarak had fought with Tyrael, another of the beasts jumped off of the wall and successfully onto his back. However, it was cut down quickly by the spear of a Naga behind him. [color=f7941d]”Ridge hounds made it…to the catacombs. But they are not the real danger. Tyrael, it is as if he has gone mad.”[/color] He said, stopping for a moment to shift his shield in front of a hound attempting to flank him. [color=f7941d]”He became enraged the moment he saw the Naga. Ordered me to murder them, and threated to kill me when I refused. I think his demon is overtaking his mind. We need to get back to the College and get help before he hurts anyone.”[/color]

Around that point, the last of the immediate wave of hounds in front of them was finished off. Although, the sounds of fighting ahead of them told that there were many more remaining. [color=f7941d]”There are more students ahead, we need to help them.”[/color] Ssarak said as he began to advance once more. It was difficult to determine exactly at that distance, but he thought he saw Colette ahead of them.
