OOC: For Carlos's player's benefit, Carlos sees a bloodied man with many
tattoos crucified and being held by a large number of these strange
little creatures.

"Throw down weapons!" the creature cries.  "Master will spare life if
you do so.  We destroy Atlantean otherwise."

Phaeton moans.  "Flee!  Find Rath-Iren!"  Another one of the creatures
strikes him with a red-glowing whip.  The Tattoo Man's skin opens like
sliced butter and blood spurts out.

"Forget name Rath-Iren." the creature shouts.  "Master desires only
one thing, and the rest of you go free.  He want one called Lady
Frost.  She surrender, Atlantean live.  She not, then all die.
Behold, Master give me Soul Drinker!"

With that he holds up a greyish sword with runes scribed on it.  "It
drink Atlantean's blood happily.  It drink all yours as well."  He
swings the sword casually, and then holds it against Phaeton's throat.
