Ray whispers to Zog, "I have a plan that will kill the troglodytes." Zog looks at Ray with suspicious eyes. Ray tells Zog, "trust me this will work. Send them back and have them report what we found out."
Zog takes the other three kobolds and explains to them that they need to return to base and report.
As Zog is talking to them Ray returns to a troglodyte body and assimilates it 10%, 20%, ..., 100% assimilation complete.
Ray analyzes the other troglodyte.

Ray sneaks back into the troglodytes base. He decides to hide behind a stalagmite. Ray whispers "create." Liquidity substance forms on the ground then begin to shape into a long sword. Completed a shiny long sword sits on the ground radiant and sharp.
"This sword is perfect it looks nothing like the one I assimilated." Thought Ray. Ray picks up the sword and transforms it into a troglodyte.
Ray heads towards the center of the troglodyte village. Passing other troglodytes on his way. As Ray nears the center he can see a ruined shrine and next to the shrine he sees a fallen statue or what appears to be a statue.

"Damn this guardian is powerful. Athena if I assimilate the shield guardian will I be able to create it?" Asked Ray.
"Yes, you can Ray. But you need to assimilate the amulet as well." Said, Athena
"Damn I need to find the amulet." Thought Ray.
Ray goes behind the shrine and sees a skeletal leg sticking out of the ground. He kneels and begins digging the skeleton out. He uncovers the skeleton and hanging on its neck is the amulet.
"Damn what luck that's got to be it." Whispered Ray.
Ray grabs the amulet and heads back to the shield guardian. Ray notices that the other troglodytes are watching him. Ray hurries up and assimilates the guardian. 10%, 20%, as Ray is assimilating the guardian the other troglodytes start heading towards him. Damn hurry up. 40%, 60%.., 100%. Assimilation completed.
As the troglodytes get closer Ray takes the long sword and shoves it into the ruined shrine. Ray yells out a shiny metal sword. The other troglodyte's eyes turn towards the sword sticking out of the shrine. The troglodyte's roar, "that's my sword!"They look at each other. One troglodyte takes a step towards the sword. Just as it took that step the troglodyte near him charged towards him and attacked. The other troglodytes started attacking each other as well.
It turned out to be a free for all battle royal. As the troglodytes fight, Ray backs up and sneaks away. Ray notices that more troglodytes appearing out of huts. The troglodytes look around and see the others fighting. They hear them yelling that's my sword. The troglodytes that arrived look at the shrine and see the sword. They realize what is going on and they rush into the battle royal. They all want this spectacular sword.
As the fighting continues, Ray hides behind a hut. He takes out the amulet and assimilates it. Then Ray creates a new amulet and he creates the Shield Guardian.
"Ray due you wish to bound the Shield Guardian?" Athena asked Ray.
"Yes, Athena bound it to me." Said Ray.
As Ray said yes a white light appeared from the amulet flowing onto Ray and then to the shield guardian. As soon as the light disappeared Ray could feel a connection with the shield guardian.
"So this is telepathy? Can you hear me?" Asked Ray.
"Yes, master." Said the shield guardian. (Telepathy).
"What is your name?" Asked Ray. (Telepathy).
"I don't have a name." Said the shield guardian. (Telepathy).
"No name! That won't do. Hmm. From this day forward your name will be Prime." Said Ray. (Telepathy).
"Thank you, master." Said Prime. (Telepathy).
"No don't call me master. You can call me Thorzen." Said Ray. (Telepathy).
"Yes, Thorzen." Said Prime. (Telepathy).
"Your first duty is to protect me." Said Ray. (Telepathy).
"Yes, Thorzen." Said Prime. (Telepathy).
"Let's go and see how the fighting is going." Said Ray. (Telepathy).
Ray steps out from behind the hut and starts to walk towards the shrine. As Ray approaches the battle royal he notices that about 3/4 of the troglodytes are dead or unconscious.
"Prime we are going to kill all of the troglodytes." Said Ray. "Yes, Thorzen." Said Prime. (Telepathy).
Ray transforms both his arms into long swords and begins his attack on the troglodytes. He slices at the nearest troglodyte and decapitates its head clean off. Prime charges forward with his fist and hits a troglodyte in the head-crushing its head. Chunks of flesh and brain matter flying everywhere. The remaining troglodytes are stunned by this huge shield guardian. They look in fear of the guardian. Ray and prime massacre the remaining troglodytes.
"Prime sweep through the base and make sure that there are no survivors and gather their bodies and weapons at this shrine." Said Ray. (Telepathy).
"Yes, Thorzen." Said Prime. (Telepathy).
Ray transforms into a kobold then heads back towards Zog.
Ray yells out "Zog it is done." Zog comes out of his hiding spot and walks towards Ray.
"You killed them all?" Asked Zog.
"Hmm, we are mopping up the remaining troglodytes." Said Ray.
"We?" Asked Zog.
Ray smiles at Zog. "Yes Prime and I." Said Ray.
"Prime?" Asked Ray.
"You will meet him shortly. Prime are you finished?" Asked Ray. "Yes, Thorzen." Said Prime. (Telepathy).
