The Izzet mages froze.\n \u201cWho's there?\u201d Rai called into the corridor\u30fb\n He strained to see, but the light from their instruments couldn't penetrate the dark\u30fb There\nwas a sound of scraping, like eggshell against porcelain\u2014and more chittering, this time\naccompanied by footsteps. Many footsteps.\n \u201cEnd your unnatural experiments\uff0c\u201d hissed a voice from the gloom. \"Forsake this place. The\nGuildmaster Jarad claims this territory for the Golgari Swarm.\u201d\n A small crowd of pale, dreadlocked elves and humans stepped into the light\u30fb Bits of bone\nand detritus woven into their matted hair clicked lightly\u30fb Their chitinous armor swarmed\nwith tiny, riotous insects that moved in and out of the sheen of moss growing on their\nshoulders\u2014a bed for sprouting fungi. Whether it was the Golgari themselves who had made\nthe chittering sound or their bugs, Rai could not be sure. A few of them bore short blades, but\nmost of them were unarmed: spellcasters\u30fb\n The speaker, an elf woman, held forth a gnarled staff. She pointed the tip, which was\ndecorated with a large rat skull, directly at Rai Zarek. \u201cYou. Vacate now.\u201d\n Rai swept his palm around him\u30fb \u201cThis is nothing but ruined, abandoned tunnel. No one\nowns this.\u201d\n \u201cAll that civilization discards, we own,\u201d sneered the Golgari elf.\n \u201cWell\uff0cyou\uff0cre going to have to scurry away to whatever crevices you crawled out of. The\ndragon Niv-Mizzet claims this area now\u2014and any other scrap of unused turf he sees fit for\nthe Izzet League?\u2075\n The Golgari^ complaints were subverbal, guttural \u30fb Rai thought he heard something that\nwas almost a snarl\u30fb\n \u201cThis kind of trespass would have been illegal under the Guildpact,w said the elf.\n \u201cWell\uff0cthere's no Guildpact now, is there? Run along. The dragon doesn't like to wait for his\ndiscoveries.\u201d\n The elf shaman sneered again, but her face lowered, and she backed away. And with her,\nthe rest of the Golgari retreated into the shadows \u30fb There was a final rattling sound as the\nshaman shook her rat-skull staff, then all was still.\n Skreeg heaved a sigh into the silence\u30fb \u201cGlad that's over.\u201d\n Just as he said this, dark shapes jerked to life all around the Izzet expedition: skeletal\nremains shuddered to a standing position; heaps of refuse became fungal rot-horrors;\n\nmagic the gathering proxies\nmtg proxy\nproxy mtg cards.\nemail ProxyKingmtg@outlook.com if you want to get more details. <\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"running through it, then there must be a font of mana underneath\u2014an old source, probably unused for centuries.\u201d \u201cThere is indeed a deep source here\/\u2075 said one of the other Izzet mages, her eyes closed\u30fb \u201cBut the coils will overheatZ\uff0csaid Skreeg\u2022\u201cThey’ll be plugged directly into the mana well.
