Changes

Tagiomalchian attacked the possessed legionary and its 8 cultists, attempting to stop the sacrifice. As Heruk arrives, Tagiomalchian was on his back and being attacked by the possessed legionary. As he charged the cultist, he reflected on Tarrigata's paranoia at a conspiracy as being correct. The fight was messy, and Heruk received many wounds as he cut down the cultists. His failing, cancer-racked body a dim shadow of it's former might. Eventually, he dispatched all but one, who killed herself. Finally able to battle the legionary, he witnessed the daemonic for the first time, and he recognized the evil behind it. Heruk charged the legionary, giving oaths to his loyalty and to unity as he battled. He found himself fighting against becoming lost in his flashbacks as much as he was fighting the demonic legionnaire, eventually allowing the possessed marine to deliver a mortal blow. Wounded and dying, he still continued to fight, eventually managing to blast it with the rad pistol. With the monster stunned from the blast, Heruk was able cleave his sword through the beasts' shoulder, chest, and up into its neck. While now cripplingly wounded, the possessed marine still lived, but Heruk was too weak from his wounds to continue fighting. However, Heruk's assault had allowed the Custodian to recover, and the gold clad warrior beheaded the possessed Alpha Legionnaire, before ripping out its heart, finally killing the monster.
