Loïc scanned the battlefield, silhouettes of vampires and bandits littered the burned down streests of Helgen. The broodmaster had to be around here somewhere, they had to have followed someone here. As he peered into the flood of vampires still pouring through the gates he saw a lone figure merely standing before the outer wall of the city, nightspawn rushing in from either of his sides and he merely stood there... watching, observing... waiting. That had to be him! "There!" Loïc yelled at his temporary comrades as he pointed to the figure. He cast another Stendarr's aura and pulled in Ketty and several other bandits in the glowing, magical sphere that surrounded him. "Stay close, don't fall behind and no matter what happens; Keep pushing forward!" With that he led them deeper into the attacking brood. While Loïc and those close enough to him to be protected hy his restoration spell were kept mostly alone, the bandits that followed who weren't able to enter his ray of safety were less lucky and picked off one by one by attacking vampires. Soon enough they were completely surrounded with hordes of nightspanw in any direction. Still, as he said, Loïc kept pushing forward, his axe digging deep into the flesh of the vampires that were daring enough to come in close enough, leaving a trail of vampire dust in his wake.
Eventually they reached the figure that during all their struggle and toil had barely moved an inch. Close enough now and lit up by his aura, Loïc could now clearly see his face. Pale and sickly, the vampire looked back at him smirking all the while. Loïc didn't bother to stand on ceremony and swiftly cast a powerful spell named vampire's bane at the broodmaster. The nightspawn leader merely lifted his hand and the powerfull ward he cast deflected the offensive restoration spell of the Breton hunter. "This is no ordinary vampire..." he whispered, and his words had barely left his mouth or the beast before him became veiled in a darkness blacker than the night and mere seconds later cast aside his human skin to reveal the monstrous demon underneath. A Volkihar vampire lord. "et'Ada save us..." Loïc muttered in shock of the revelation, but quickly composed himself. He picked up a steel axe from on of the fallen bandits since his spells would not work of this beast and got into a battle stance perfect for dual wielding axes taught to him when he was still a forsworn and screamed his battlecry "Hircine guide me!" before storming into combat with the beast. It was true that he did not give orders to Ketty and the brigands that followed him this deep into the Lion's den, or better yet, the vampire's den, but he knew that if the beast was given time he could use it to his advantage and activate his blood magic. Besides, he had seen Ebonheart bark orders like a proper commander so he had some assurance that she would know what to do.
