The bulk of Septic Lexus's rearguard force spilled forth from the cover of the crude wooden dwellings.
Regaining his wits, Septic Lexus moved towards the Amber Cube, pressed his hand against its smooth surface, and began to unseal it.
The approach of Squad Pestilence helped ensure that few with designs on disturbing its master would survive a run across the village square.
Sensing precious time slip away, Inquisitor Severus goaded his faithful Retinue across the square towards the ominous Cube despite the threat of Plague Marines taking up positions on his flank.
Like the 2nd Squad he just finished yelling at, Junior Officer Hernot fell prey to the whispers of the beast within the Cube and halted his advance.
Seeing vague shapes of the enemy in the distance, the Stormtroopers and remaining Lascannon advanced on the far side of the village.
