<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

No, not unless they have good reason and I can assure you compensation for such a misdeed. I am a gentleman after all.

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

*Growls*

The only thing I want is for you to leave so I can go back to plotting that floating meatball's death!

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Oh that meatball is already very much dead.

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

*Blinks*

It is? Truly?

*Claps before floating a brain with legs into its hands and staring at it, seemingly in jubilation*

Hah ha! Did you hear that Percival? The meatball is dead at long last!

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

It sounds as though you and that 'meatball' were at odds with one another.

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

*Scoffs*

Beholder's are always at odds with everyone. So long as you don't look like them, that's reason enough for them to act. But yes, you would be correct in your assumption undead, we were at odds. It was keeping me from not only leaving my lair, but from creating new thralls as well.

*Shakes tendrils furiously*

Quite annoying as you might imagine.

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Oh I can imagine, but now I have even better news. The cavern network above no connects to the Beholder's chamber where you will find it's corpse.

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

Did you aggro that thing??

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

No, step aside let him through.

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

*Keeps my distance*

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Shuffles past you as I head back the way you came*

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Any more traps?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

*Peers into the now empty chamber*

Not that I can see, but I don't think we should go snooping around in that thing's home.

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

I don't assume there's an exit in there?

<Snipped quote by Fractured>

I don't think...

*Squints*

Hold on a minute...

*Glances back down the tunnel before placing my hand against the floor and transmuting the stone into water, revealing a massive shell shaped ship resting underneath*

Ah ha! I knew there was something odd down there. I could feel it.

<Snipped quote by Caldizar>

Where'd this come from?

<Snipped quote by Armed Forces>

Gateway, yes.

*Points to a large arch of metal, crisscrossed with wiring*

It grants the Nightwatch access to... a different place. A very large place. One where a very large amount of money can be made. And power gained.

@Armed Forces I cannot allow you access yet, but I can also interest you in our other services. Anything you need... procured... we can handle. And we also have a rather large collection of goods for sale. Dmitri!

*Snaps*

*I watch as a burly man and several others bring out various cases and open them. Inside are weapons of various makes and models, varying from archaic pistols from the Second World War to experimental laser weapons capable of splitting tanks in two. I raise my hand and chuckle.*

*Then, a second crate is opened. Inside is a plethora of grenades and other 'support' items. Most notable are vials of fast-acting painkillers and coagulants, frag grenades, EMP bombs, and something I call "The Gadget."*

*The third crate contains armor, such as graphene bodysuits similar to mine, gas masks and respirators, and exo-armor sets.*
