Stepping around the corner, Rowan sees the source of the light, a strange stone thirty feet high, blinking on and off with a sapphire glow. The light illuminates hundreds of the natives' cold, lifeless bodies, they looking like they are sleeping standing up, their eyes closed peacefully. "What...? Carolyn said. "What is this...". Rowan hears a strange voice whispering in their ear. "Welcome home....welcome home....join us...." from their looks, everyone else is hearing it too.

Rowan shakes their head vigorously to shKe out the vĂ³ce and hisses 'this.. is a far worse Abomination than i have ever been..' they steel their nerves and look about to see who they need to smash and cleave to stop the werider weirdness. 'Anyone bring a big arrow to hit that thing with?'

Rowan looks about as the strange sleeping natives' eyes open and they all look to the gathering swordsman, and the stone's color changes to a weird and sickly green as the voice fills everyone's heads, o actual sound made but the sensation of being screamed at bringing several to their knees. "You are mine...all mine..." the voice says. "Bleedsufferserve." Carolyn looks and shrieks.
"Incoming!" She cries out as the first demons arrive.

Rowan roars a femminine battle cry and wades into the fray chopping and slashing and causing as much carnage as possible to the beasts without injuring their self or their comrades and avoiding the beasts burning blood.

As they fight, they see the chaos spreading, but the beasts seem to be fighting oddly half heartedly, sluggishly, and it is possible they aren't fully aware while daylight hours are ongoing. The crystal continues its speaking directly into Rowan's brain as the slaughter continues, but the first person to attack the bluish spire watches as his sword disintegrates into a gray dust.

Rowan lets out another battle cry and throws themself into the fray. Screaming for the voice or voices to be quiet. Seeing the crystal cannot be damaged Rowan settles for a wholesale slaughter of the monsters

As Rowan slaughters the lazy monsters they hear the voice. "Powerpoweryourfriendscraveit." The commander of the Order troops stops at the base of the crystal and smiles all of a sudden. "it's real," he breathed, and somehow Rowan heard. "The Valyrians were right! They're real!" Most of the rest of the actual knights let out a cheer. Carolyn and Dan look confused.

"It's here!" The knight said happily. "Lay down your weapons! Our ally is with us now! Vhagar the Grand!"

Some keep fighting but more and most of the warriors have stopped and start glowing the same blue color as the crystal. "Run!" Carolyn said. "I think we've been betrayed!"

Rowan grumbles and runs with them. More than happy to cleave whoever glows if they get caught up with.

As the few dozen flee, the crystal changes to a dull red glow and the Order knights' weapons and armor echo the color themselves. "Sufferyouwillallsuffer," the voice in Rowan's hand explains calmly.
As they exit the cave, Carolyn and her husband, and Dan all rush to the horses. "Grab one and cut the rest loose!" We need to get back to Xintilan and the fleet!" Dan ordered. "That crystal has driven our comrades mad!"

Rowan snarls while they run 'fook off idiot voices' Rowan makes short work of cutting the horses loose and making them run and scatter. They get on to a horse ungainly and flees with the remaining warriors. One hand tightly holding their longer axe in case they need to use it.

As Rowan and the others scatter they see storm clouds moving on the horizon, and the sun will be setting soon. Dan cursed. "They'll be out hunting soon," he said. "The fuckers knew what was going on. The plan wasn't to destroy the demon scourge...it was to fucking weaponize it!" He cursed.
