After which they'd unleash While the squad unleashed a volley of bolter fire on the idol. While doing so the squadron was , they were attacked by a the High Priestess of the Tzeentchian cult, who was hidden in the orb of the idol's staff prior to their arrival. The highly gifted Sorceress used her powers to freeze them in place, after disabling their defences by throwing knife through the Astropath's heart.{{Fn|2}} The now-vulnerable Space Marines could do nothing against her Warp magics. The Sorcereress Sorceress entered their minds of each Marine, killing them one by one. She would first kill Icaron and Levantus.{{Fn|1}}

Upon landing, Metaurus' squadron fought through numerous Tzeentch [[Cultist]]s and [[Tzaangors]] as they proceeded towards the idol. After cutting a bloody swath through the cult's forces they reached their target, a large statue of a [[Greater Daemon]] known as a [[Lord of Change]]. They would deploy a portable device that functioned similar to a [[Gellar Field]], a casket containing an [[Astropath]] and the portable Gellar Field tech.{{Fn|2}}
When the Sorceress entered the mind of Metaurus, the vision she evoked that of the child he chose ''"a child who has never known fear"'', as she said to him. The vision was of Metaurus observing Demetrian Titus, first as a child, then a Space Marine, then a [[Chaos Space Marine]]. The Chaos Space Marine form of Titus in the vision would then gut Metarus with a knife.{{Fn|1}} Metaurus was left severely wounded. He sustained a series of serious internal injuries: critical failure of his [[Larraman's Organ]], [[Belisarian Furnace]] unresponsive, [[Oolitic Kidney|Oolitic systems]] inactive, and [[Creation of a Space Marine#Sus-an Membrane|Sus-an membrane]]: primed. Along with this, his armour was no longer be fully sealed or void-capable as soon as he was stabbed.{{Fn|2}}
When the Sorcereress entered the mind of Titus, however, the Lieutenant was able to break free of its control. Having shattered the Sorcerer's staff in his vision she attempted to take flight, but Titus quickly killed her before she could escape. Titus provided coordinates for ordinance and pulled the wounded Metaurus to safety. Back at the ravine's entrance, they hordes of cultists came flooding from the distance at one end of the chasm. Titus placed Metaurus against a rock while preparing to defend against the apostate tide.{{Fn|1}}
