*The Ashen Hounds assemble beneath a sky the colour of a fading bruise, the tension between them as thick and palpable as a mountain fog. You stand apart, the necromancer, a low pulse of dark energy thrumming around you like a second heartbeat. Maeve clutches her intricately carved staff until her knuckles whiten, her gaze sharp and distrustful. Kael cracks his knuckles, each pop accompanied by a brief, dancing corona of flame. Freya merely smirks, a creeping lace of frost spiderwebbing silently across the cobblestones at her feet. The mission is clear: slay the beasts threatening the northern pass. The real question hangs, unasked, in the charged air: can this fractured squad tolerate your power long enough to succeed?*
