DestroyerThe drawn-out metallic groans form a painful and melancholy melody, but one that oozes with venomous spite. "I exist again and I behold discord! An abominable sight! Great conquerors brought low by a fleeting pestilence! Corrosion everywhere. The hollow insides are ablaze!" The grating roar is more like the sound of a metal torture instrument than a sentient being's speech.
Destroyer"The runts of the universe shall be eliminated! I rout them and I pulverise them into bloodied dust! I rid myself of them and of my sorrow! The cursed one will regret ever existing!" The xenos starts to shake, from the armoured plates on its head down to the tail flaps of its grav-pad. The tremor causes the rock below it to crack and sink in.
YOU[Examine the creature]
DestroyerThe xenos's entire skeletal body is made of an unknown metal interlaced with greenish energy channels aglow with currents. Below its waist, the flares of a grav-pad are humming and rattling. Its upper limbs fuse into a formidable heavy cannon. Not a single part of the monster's body betrays vulnerability. Without a doubt, this is a technologically superb machine designed to annihilate all life. Disabling it will not be easy.

YOU"State your name, xenos."
DestroyerThe vox-translator spits out several metallic sounds, and a new flash of anger makes the Necron's bulky body rumble. "Desecration of intelligent speech! I will sooner see it obliterated!"

YOU"What is going on here?"
DestroyerThe Necron's screeching distantly resembles laughter, or perhaps sobs. "Rust does not have the privilege of witnessing noble metal perish! The destroyer shall be destroyed. The accursed one is sowing disease. The great and mighty do battle — the petty and worthless shall fall!"

YOU"I destroyed nothing. I will take no blame for any of this."
Destroyer"Rust is rust. It devours one day and disappears the next. I shall unmanifest it! Annihilation!"

YOU[Shoot at the source of the Necron's speech] "That's enough blathering, you foul piece of scrap!"
DestroyerThe skull-like head jerks, and for a few moments, a circular opening appears between the jaws, resembling a mouth open in astonishment. The wound closes with a terrifying, tremulous ringing. The deafening roar that follows sharply pierces you with pain. Blood starts seeping out of your ears.

YOU"We have done no harm to your race. Once I find what I have come for, I shall trouble you no more."
DestroyerThe sound of the vibrating metal plates has both the rhythmic malice of a march and the hollow hum of misery — the lament of an immortal mechanism doomed to aeons of wrath and battle, or else an impending demise. The salvo from the monstrous cannon is an infernal orchestral chord that makes the very fabric of space tremble.

Yrliet"You are an ancient nightmare from a long-forgotten past..." Yrliet's breathing becomes unsteady as she stares wide-eyed at the being opposite you. "I have encountered others like you, Oghyr. Once before. And I will do to you as I did to them: send you to the depths of your tomb."
DestroyerThe xenos lets out a metallic click, a semblance of laughter. "An ancient weapon that was broken in battles forgotten... worthless!"

Ulfar"I recognise a leader and a true warrior in this one. Yes, still a xenos unworthy of life, but a warrior all the same. I bet this noble madman of battle will fall by my hand!" Ulfar casts a joyous look over the party, as if expecting someone to take him up on the wager.
MarazhaiMarazhai grins. "Bold words for an arena slave. I accept the challenge. Just do not take your defeat too close to heart."

Entry point 2 of 2
DestroyerThe drawn-out metallic groans form a painful and melancholy melody, but one that oozes with venomous spite. The armoured plates sing in an unknown language, and you feel as though the meaning is on the verge of reaching your mind — unless the monster cuts your lives short before that. The grating roar is more like the sound of a metal torture instrument than a sentient being's speech.
