The Black Flames Operation In Navorost 240117
In the gloomy outskirts of Navorost, the Black Flame cult embarks on an arcane mission to reinforce the chasm between reality and the eldritch void. Among them were Autumn, Casey, and Samantha, each playing a crucial role. The air is charged with occult energy as Samantha brandishes her spear, carving runes mid-air while Autumn, clad in shadow, unleashes arrows sparked with dark intent. Their objective: a mundane sedan, a decoy amidst the terror. The battle intensifies—Autumn's arrow meets Kevlar, and Samantha's steady M4 bursts pierce the silence of the night. A mysterious figure in dark robes, donning an impassive white mask, emerges like a phantom, exchanging blows and spells with our protagonists in a dance of parries and deflections. The ritual, however, demands their attention as Casey and Samantha channel their power into the dark ceremony, even as the cult's adversaries start to fade out of the nightmare.
Underneath an uncaring waxing crescent moon, the struggle rages. Casey's shots miss the robed figure, the air thrumming with the sound of gunfire and the near-misses of arrows zipping past. Samantha and Casey persevere through waves of aggression from their cloaked adversary, parrying and striking with tridents and fire axes. As the combat unfolds, Samantha worries over the lack of progress reports, questioning if their efforts are in vain as she doggedly continues the summoning ritual. Casey, protective and alert, fires off rounds to cover Samantha, each echoing the brewing discontent and confusion. Yet, amidst chaotic exchanges and the relentless onslaught from their masked opponent, they resolve to stand ground, awaiting either victory or overwhelming odds. In the end, the inexorable might of the Autocratic Extremists Alliance prevails, casting the fate of the world and the ritual into uncertain gloom.

Mission: Get to the designated site and continue empowering eldritch summoning ritual until the process is complete.
The operation takes place in the shadow-laden corners of Navorost. Here, the elder horrors of the void have left faint echoes of their presence. The Black Flame seeks to amplify these echoes into gateways for the eldritch deities they worship by conducting a colossal, city-wide ritual. Murals painted in occluded corners, symbols carved into historic landmarks, nightmare-fueled chants echoing from hidden nooks, and cosmic alignments worked into seemingly mundane structures — each part of the ritual feeding into a grand, horrifying crescendo. Should they succeed, the boundaries between our world and the void will blur, hastening the arrival of these horrors and bringing about the cataclysm they believe is necessary for the rebirth of the world.
