Once upon a time there were two men who were angry. One had decided to turn that inward, the other had decided to use that anger as a physical tool. Neither means were healthy, but one thing was shared in common between then:
They were really, really tired of Insanity right now.
Mort met the executioner only because they both happened to be getting in the portal at the same time. Shik didn't seem to notice or care he was bumping past the initiate, at least until he paused inches from the portal.
There was a rather intense staredown for a few seconds, during which Mort bristled and Shik made sure this wasn't one of those damn idiots who had accosted him and his own in the last battle there had been Hunters and Halloween in. He looked vaguely familiar, but that passed quickly. Eventually Shik stepped in, more interested in harvesting than anything else.
Mort joined after with a small sigh, hoping nothing worse could come of this.

It was cold and misty. Shik thrived in the environment as battle made him hot-blooded; Mort, conversely, nearly had PTSD of the Haunted House. The sound of battle and roars reverberated around the gray-covered Isles as they found themselves deposited near a tower--and almost immediately into battle against something with spines.
Shik took to the air and managed to get his shield clipped in the process, dagger summoned as he looked for a weak spot to strike. Mort, panicking inwardly, shot out a strong bolt of lightning from a flailed hand as he lifted the other arm to take the group of spines shot at him. Something about the pure feeling of Insanity seemed to take most of the bite out of his attack, though. It was probably going to be a very hard war to get these Isles back . . .
"Not bad, I suppose," Shik commented overhead.

Hawk-like, the executioner dove through several burst of spines, tucking his wings together until the last second, at which they flared open and veered him parallel to the ground. The maneuver normally worked, but Shik found himself only grazing the monster with the tip of his dagger; barely worth noting.
Meanwhile he watched the zomboil slowly learn the level of the playing field, wincing again as spines shot his way and firing another bolt of electricity back. It was almost quaint to watching something that ought to be a corpse run about in a pale imitation of a fighter.
"Are you done spitting out flickers? I would like this thing killed within the hour."
The student looked up at him a little balefully. "Would help if you hit harder," he muttered.

"Harder? The way to vanquish these things is to purify them, boil," Shik said wrly as he dove in for another needling strike--and once again grazing off its skin. Damned thing was swathed in so much mist he could barely tell where its body actually began.
Mort dared to get a bit closer and attempt a punch at one of the monster's legs, though spines drove through his skin as a result. "With shards, yes?"
"Oh delightful, you've been paying attention!"
Mort grumbled something darkly under his breath. Here he had been hoping to vent his constant river of anger on these monstrosities, but it seemed every escape for it had a cost.

At the very least the mist coming off it was lessening as the creature began to weaken, and Shik took the opportunity to really get an attack in. Swooping down low, he drove the dagger into its side just as Mort decided to charge Thor up and really slam the thing on the opposite side--he was, after all, tired of having to hear criticisms from both within and without.
And also interested in seeing the power of Distortion.
"Much better. Don't fumble now, foal."
