as the eye could see, bringing with them a stench that was so overpowering a

mult*itude of hands flew upwards to cover their faces with the masks of their attire as

savaging those that dared to come within reach as bursts of magick were fired

overhead, decimating the ranks of the creatures that swarmed them.
