Though you manage to chop away at the trees they spray on you a thick dark blue sap, the touch of which fills you with fear and despair.

You allow the divine strength within you to surge, pushing back the darkness that threatened to consume you. Forcing your way through the tree wall the scene beyond is a depressing landscape of corruption. Pools of the dark blue taint have coalesced in the open and the trees visibly show sign of sickness. You are certain the evil you seek to destroy lies this way.

Trying to comprehend the corruption, you fail to find meaning for it as it is utterly unnatural. The same despair tries to sieze at you again, but this time it inspires you. The despair is similar to hollowing. This taint is the influence of the dark, source of hollowing, and spawn of the abyss. It must touch this place.

You deftly cross the chasm, but when comes to ascending the other side you slip down the chasms side, hurting yourself somewhat and producing a roucus. By the time you come over the lip you are confronted by two sights. In the distance the square rectangular building you saw some time ago is revealed in detail for the first time. A low castle, surrounded by a decaying village. The second are horrid monstrosities drawn near by the sound of your struggle. Grotesque humanoids with large toloned feet, extended and clawed fingers and where their heads should be a hard leathery carapace covered with numerous glowing red eyes

Four of the creatures close in on you rapidly, three more are yet further of but closing fast. Those that closed flail furiously at, seeming concerned only with laying a hand on you not the strength of the impact.

Your divine empowered strike cuts down the two creatures, but the horde presses against you. Two of the monstrosities cannot get past the others but still manage to strike are you with their long arms. Some of they strikes pierce your defences and you are filled with sapping energies.

The swarm defend on you again still managing to break your defences and fill you with despair.

When you summon the moon beam two of the monstrosities are immediately destroyed by its power.

The creatures shuffle around slightly trying to escape the beam, their movement is slow and one collapses as it tries to escape. Only one of the creatures actually manage to escape the beam though the all can still swing at you. With less bodies pressing against you few blows sink in.
