## Time to go!

The company descends further down into the volcano forge until they see Arjin and Mechano-spider-godling-lady begin to square off. Due to a blunder by the company, hundreds of mechanical beasts start charging up the levels to get to the company. While the company tries to block their ways of entry to the platform they are on, Diranas managing to block 2 entry ways, catapults start firing on the company.

Diranas and Maura are knocked unconscious and their bodies mauled by further bombardment for good measure. As they are brought back from the brink of death, Diranas is once again knocked unconscious as they attempt to flee towards the flying magic box to safety. Brought back once more from the brink of death, they all manage to get to the lip of the volcano, with mechanical bees close behind.

#### ***The following section appears to be crudely inked onto the journal, overlapping what text is partly revealed underneath:***

*The company ducks for cover behind some rocks, but eventually one of the bees begins to suspect their location. Diranas rises from the cover, his burnt robes revealing a toned, well-shaped body. He looks back at his cowering companions as he whips his flowing, not-at-all singed and eaten, hair to the side and utters "Fear not, I will protect you." Pearls of sweat on his immaculate skin catch the sunlight shining brightly behind Diranas, causing an almost halo-like glow to surround him. The minds of the cowering company are, for a fleeting moment, filled with the vision of a legendary warrior of old standing in divine glory before them.*

Diranas *draws his wand, his huuuuuuuuge sun-bronzed muscles flexing in the motion, as he lets out a howling, thundering, awesome battle cry and charges the bees. Rays of fire shoot from Diranas, knocking ~~two~~ ~~five~~ nine of the bees out of the sky, as he draws their attention to him.*

*In the end, ~~fifteen~~ twenty bees finally manage to bring Diranas down, and as he falls he gives a thumbs-up to the cowering company and does not soil himself at all.*

The company sprints to Diranas and manage to finish off the remaining 3 bees and only just manage to bring Diranas back from the brink of death. Rescue comes in the form of the flying magic box, as Arjin jumps into the flying box as well.
