Game Update Notes: October 28, 2014

"So where did Firiona say she was going, anyway?" Tivalin asked.

"She said she couldn't tell us all, or else --," Naissa replied, looking upwards and suddenly clamping her hands over her ears. "What is that sound?"

"What do you mean?" he asked, cocking his head. "I don't hear a thing."

"My ears are about to burst!"

"Calm down. You've always been sensitive to powerful magic; it's probably a new experiment. Let me cast this shield over you. It should--"

Beams of light struck all around them, scorching the marble of the courtyard. Tivalin looked up, shielding his eyes against the blinding light that suddenly appeared at the top of the dome.

"By Tsaph's heart! Run!" Tivalin screamed as he pulled the helpless Naissa into the temple. He took a deep breath to sound the alarm, but his cry only came out as a muffled grunt when a red-mailed fist sent him reeling into unconsciousness.

"Sit down, hero. I'm not here for you and I don't have time to chat." The dark elven Mistress of Hate stepped over the pair as she stalked into the chamber where the legendary Combine ruler Tsaph Katta had resided since his poisoning. Behind her, water poured into the city.
