The encampment was bustling with activity as the cultists prepared for the summoning ritual. The air was thick with dark energy, the ominous portal pulsing with malevolent power. The chanting of the cultists filled the air, their voices rising in a crescendo as they neared the completion of their ritual.
Thalia's team struck first, their movements swift and deadly. The guards were taken by surprise, falling to the ground before they could raise the alarm. The resistance fighters moved with precision, creating a breach in the enemy defenses.
"Now!" Thalia shouted, signaling for the rest of the forces to advance.
Elara, Aiden, and Roderic led the charge, their weapons at the ready. The resistance forces poured into the encampment, engaging the cultists in a fierce battle. The clash of steel and the crackle of magic filled the air as both sides fought with everything they had.
