The Red Lord Rises
In England near Glastonbury Tor a portal opened up and a large demonic red creature emerged. The Red Lord emerged from Otherworld and had been unleashed upon the mortal world. Chaos and destruction followed in his path.

	"You can owe me, Beautiful. Think I'm going to need a road trip after black magic rituals and setting the Rider on a god. But let's do this." Nick cuts a hand open, bleeding along the lines of his symbols, then setting the blood alight with hellfire, once he has the symbols carved. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

While Nick works, Martin has finished reviewing the parts for the wards in his book and he crouches near the edge of Nick's ritual tracings and begins tracing runes and parts of magic seals along the edge, interweaving parts of his own additions with the periphery of Nick's work. Occasionally he glances up at his spell book to check he's got the drawing he needs to do right, but in general there's a serious look of concentration as his gloved finger traces the designs along the ground, leaving a slightly glowing trail of his usual bright blue magic. Wards were fine and all, but to be effective they needed to be interwoven or connected to something else, an object, a person or another spell. And by doing this now, it'd make it easier to give Nick's spell an extra kick of power once they started.

Despite the battle raging not far, Martin ignores it completely, taking his time to be precise and making sure he was following the book as he went. Once done, Nick's symbols alight with hellfire are complemented by the bright blue magic lines and symbols surrounding them and even dissecting here and there.

He tips his hat to Nick to indicate that his part of the prep, the needed wards, is ready.

Nick really isn't a spellcaster, but he does know a fair bit about ritual, can tap Zarathos' knowledge, and hellfire and demon-tainted blood make great black magic components. With the kick of actual spellcasting, Nick's blood flares up with green fire.

He speaks a few syllables in some incomprehensible tongue - though it just somehow sounds obscene - working on figuring out just which underworld this guy came from.

Martin sits cross-legged just outside of Nick's creation and spreads his fingers out so they lightly touch the edge of where his wards begin. While Nick begins speaking the beginning of the needed ritual, Martin makes sure he's providing a steady flow of magic in, as steady as he can possibly make it which required a lot of concentration. But this way Nick might have an easier time and the wards would keep the unwanted elements out better.

Thankfully, when it comes to underworlds, the magic is playing in Nick's ballpark. And while they have no piece of the god-thing to work with, he's in proximity.

"Irina... I think I have it." he manages, his voice half Nick, and half the Rider's. Talking outside of what is needed to keep the ritual up is an obvious effort, and he's changing more and more as it goes, Zarathos rearing his head for his help with all this.

"Martin, send her the coordinates."

	Martin sent Irina the info telepathically, easier to make sure she'd heard it correctly than doing it out loud. (Reply to this)(Parent)
