Chapter 7 - Desert’s Maw

After packing up and heading to find the next door the group heard a bloodcurdling scream from the south, Jax and Sky mentioned that they should not let someone die violently. Ba Ye and Chui agreed. Ba Ye flew over to the sound of the scream and found a Qabalist and a demon-possessed warrior fighting a silver serpent. The Qabalist was trying to activate one of her twelve tarot cards as well as invoking Sandalphon the angel of fortune.

The demon warrior fought with great fury with his bagh nakh(tiger claws) slashing and shanking the serpent. The warrior flew back with the swipe from the serpent. Suddenly a bullet shot down into the serpent. From above Ba Ye supplies suppressive fire while the party arrived with Chui buffed the party with his support totem.

Jax rushing in like a mad man casting Sound Slash cutting into the scales of the serpent. Sliver fangs thrust into the demon warrior's body sinking deeper and deeper into her body miraculously missing her heart but crushing her bones. At that moment Sandalphon heard the call and rushed into battle with a wheel drove the wheel into the serpent. The angel flew to the warrior and healed her wounds. The warrior knew that the situation was dire and called upon Aamon and grew into a demon that had been transformed so that razor-sharp teeth and a serpent's tail grew from her body.

The Bagh nakh changed into black with demonic flames appearing from them. Rushing in faster than ever before the Demon crashed into the serpent. Jax cut into the beast finally. Ba Ye had put some damage into the serpent removing some scales. Sandalphon retreated because the Qabalist ran out sufficient divine power. The Qabalist did however have enough divine power to invoke the first card the magician. Spite shot out of the ground throwing the serpent into the air supportingly doing little damage. Sky still unable to gather Air magic particles was helpless in the fight and resorted to using her staff as a blunt weapon. The serpent fell after hours and hours of fighting. Everyone was bloody and beaten up and the demon warrior and the Qabalist were sunburnt. The Qabalist introduced herself as An Hue and the Demon warrior reverting back to a human-introduced her self as Shea. Ba Ye knew right away the two were not human but never mentioned instantly seeing that the Medusa Qabalist and the Dragon-type beast-man Demon warrior meant no harm. The duo asked to join the party and the quad became a nearly complete squad.

Normal legions consisted of ten people of various classes mostly the normal classes of different types of Qi Warriors, Archers, assassins and priests, and some base formations change between different classes. The group made a 2-2-1-1 with Shea and Ba Ye upfront Jax and Chui in mid-row and Sky in the back row and An Hue in the far back row. The group went and saw a pyramid with a jackal horde circling the pyramid. Ba Ye said, " How many of those Jackals are there?" Jax counted out loud and set up a joke " What's nine plus ten?" Chui instantly knew what the joke was almost like he formed the same world as Jax said "Twenty-one" Shea said" I guess we have to kill twenty-one jackals then.
