The man’s eyes dilated as though he had just seen something shocking. He gasped and his eyes glazed over. The golem disintegrated entirely now and all the snowing ceased. There was a shrill caw as Kelvin landed near the combat team. Markiel’s familiar raised its wings and a portal opened before it. Instead of the warlock, Seph arrived through it moments later. He took in the area and moved silently to the dead mage.

“Markiel sent Kelvin as soon as he got word. Seems even then it’s too late. The investigations team has a name. I’ll handle things here. You should all get inside or you’ll get frostbite. Kelvin go rendezvous with the investigations team I’ll get home the old fashion way.” Seph didn’t seem to waver in emotion not proud of the victory or depressed by the death he’d seen far too much to be swayed by so little.

=======================================================

After about twenty minutes Kelvin arrived at the investigations team. The hellbeak had to awkwardly shuffle along inside to reach the group in the basement. He scowled unamused at the circumstances when he reached them. Here he was a terrifying demon raptor reduced to waddling because the staircase was too narrow.

Once again he raised his wings to allow a portal to be opened. This time Markiel was the one to travel through.

“Alright we’ve gotten the all clear from the combat team. I’ve already put the kettle on so let’s get back you deserve a break and a hot drink. Just need to pick up what's left around here.” The warlock said before going over to the workbench and collecting some tomes and mystical materials, “We can save the debriefing for after everyone has taken a breath.”
