The new construct had been finished long ago, but Viktor had been forced to have it wait outside until repairs on the wall had been finished. The beast was his largest yet, almost matching the Keepers own stature. About as tall as five men, and three times as much across, a first glance might have the monster be mistaken for a lonesome brick wall, three feet thick. Any attentive look would reveal the glowing runes inscribed, and the pulsating flesh that spilled out, dripping out from holes in the wall, and cracks in the brick. Various appendages and features stuck out from these patches of meat. Glowing eyes, mouths brimming with razor sharp teeth, and arms anywhere from normal size, to twenty feet long, each with a varying number of joints, each bending in a sickening way. The back of the terrifying structure was lined with vulnerable flesh, and dozens of organs. Countless tiny bone legs lined the base of the creature, giving it the painfully slow locomotion that it had.
Despite this new constructs considerably massive size, in comparison to the average men, Viktor had held back in the scale of this beast. With no real way to get large creatures out of the laboratory, he had to make sure it could fit through the broken wall, which he did, perfectly. The beast let out brutal wails, a thousand voices screaming at once. It wasn't a fan of the cold, it appeared. Perhaps Viktor cared, even just a slight bit, for the discomfort of his newest child, there was no time. If Viktor were to keep the element of surprise on his side, the attack on Altearx would need to be mounted quickly.
But still, his army was small, and it would take no small amounts of ingenuity to lead his army to victory against the considerable might of their icy fortress. But still, like any others, they would fall before his might, just like those before, and any else who found themselves in his path. The Keeper then turned his attention to his minions, eagerly awaiting his next orders. The wall had been rebuilt, and the walls continued down fifteen feet beneath him, leaving only his work area, the bridge to said work area, and the pedestal upon which the meteor rested. Even as they worked, the destructive magic had been slowly eating away at the pillar, driving it deeper and deeper down into the depths. Orders flowing directly into the minds of the poor husks, they began work again, making the Oubliette go down far deeper. With none distracted now, fixing up the walls, the process would go much farther. Viktor was glad for the lesser intelligence of these souls. Otherwise, they may have noticed that they were not building a way back up from the dark depths. In addition to making the pit deeper, he was having them build a large tunnel, in order to move his more massive creations out into the battle.
Viktor personally focused on more important matters. While some of his arms moved furiously, stitching together more of his Broken bBeasts, his mind wandered, other arms drawing up blueprints, and making small scale bursts of magic. While experimenting, he threw an off glance at the meteor. Ever since he had denied the help, he had regretted it. Whatever it was, it was powerful. Perhaps he would later speak again with it. That got him thinking. Why had he kept the thing? He had told himself that it was for experimentation, but he couldn't really believe that. Otherwise, he certainly would've used it in his creations. Angry with himself for not knowing the answers, he diverted his focus from the alien object. He wouldn't look back there for a long while, that was a fact.

Compendium Update:
The Wall Of Flesh-
A massive wall of stone brick, enchanted with runes to be especially protective against magical assault. Five men tall, and fifteen across, the wall can protect many soldiers behind it's warm grasp. Pulsating flesh spills out from the gaps in stone, with hundred of eyes mouths and ears as well. Though it lets out many primal screams, it is smart enough to order around troops, as it speaks directly into their minds.

Dungeon: A small stone castle, armed with a summoning room, barracks, Heart, and small Oubliette
Minions: 2 Imps, 15 Humanoid husks, 31 Ogres, 76 Skeletons, 101 Minotaurs, 5 Walking Ballistae, 26 Broken Beasts, Stamrad, The Patchwork Man, and the Wall of Flesh
