As soon as he saw the commotion below he assumed that Azor had scueeded with his ruse and gotten the cargo storage empty of guards. Giving the signal to launch the teleportation thereafter with A violent explosive push whipping up a cascade of of crimson sand in the howling wind. He twisted his now massive body around and dived down the dunehill. Grabbing the nearest crates one under each of his demonic arms. Rushing towards the established gate. ((Assuming Varnia did her thing. Otherwise he would have used a gate spell.))

Takis' shadow stopped to wonder. What she just witnessed was no longer an isolated incidence. Whatever the demon had passed onto that basher could bear potentially important consequences and it was safe to assume it was not in the Doomguard's favour.
Rarely did she go outside the specific orders she was given. But this was no ordinary moment and the Doomguard were no ordinary army; rules of engagement were never laid out. No matter. A way of preventing the enemy from obtaining a significant strategic advantage was born in her head, and if there was one, she should should pursue it.
She changed her target and now followed the incubus' servant, but this time her priorities changed. Parking her ears was no longer in scope - instead, she moved in to intercept the demon. Spying never got the job done anyway.

The elf patiently awaited an opportunity until she realised the infeasibility of her intent. She watched the demons' gathering from a comfortable distance, thinking through her what her next move would be. It looked as though Takis wanted to lend the stabbed demon's authority, and met with refusal, he lent it.. permanently. If that was the case then those bashers cared for nothing but the badgeholder's word, whomever that happened to be. Then the solution was simple.
- The incubi can be decent players, not to be underestimated. But in close quarter it will be like taking down a child. - She pondered. - There is a good chance with their leader taken I should be able to force them to resign; either that, or they will stop caring. Losses in men saved, conspirator captured.. Mauric will like this gift. - She grinned to herself under the mask, her muscles flexed as she was about to leave her hiding in an unexpected strike. Her hands passed through her chivs' slender hilts, her heart pumping up, ready to jump in between the foes.
She froze and thought again. - What is this now? Fancy playing a hero? .. useless wench.. - she scolded herself harshly for allowing thoughts of digressing from the orders she was given. It was time to report back. She darted off towards the factory, hoping to outrun the demons. Although she did not want to attract much attention, she no longer bothered with bystanders or even guards coincidentally seeing her as she ran through the tower.

Mauric gated into the cargo area with the crates, and was met with a scene of complete chaos and disarray, as boxes has been knocked over by the growing numbers of demons and doomguards randomly brawling and/or chasing Azor.
Eloe arrived soon after, having sped down alleyways to get across town, to be greeted by a similar sight.

Making the switch taking head to not make it suscpiciously placed in order maintaining the disarray Azor had caused while placing the golem parts in the crates with the real parts. Withdrawing with the surplus of real parts as soon it was done.
((If Eloe met withthem here.)) "No time to explain come with us" With that his monsterous hand would grap her dainty upper arm and pull her with him as they ported back to their hidden location.

Eloe entered the area in haste and headed to Mauric without paying heed to the current struggle or attracting unnecessary attention. She slipped in just behind Mauric as she usually did.
Pulled by Mauric she did not resist physically. She followed the Doomlord, her head just a few inches next to his ear, she whispered. - Listen! - She was gasping still after the run she made as she reported her findings in a concise, laconic rush. - An incubus. Left the factory shortly after your arrival. Gathered troops at the tower. Headed out towards factory's direction moments ago.

((Just say if I'm taking to many actions.))
The moment her words sunk in admid the hectic flight his froglike face twisted in a ireful grimace baring the crystaline pointed rows of teeth. He stamped his heel into the loose ground to stem the speed. The hefty bulk of his assumed form making it silde onward several feet until he was brought to a standstill. Shouting with a hissing guttural blend agumented by the enourmous demonic weasand. "Back! back to the factory! Secure the entrences from inside! They'll storm the factory and we need to reach it before they do!"
The traitors had alredy been infiltrating the factory he assumed if they would stand any chance they had to deal with them and if there was time prepare for the arrival. But that was optimistic at best. Arriving there before the Tanar'ri did seemed feasible albeit a narrowly so.
Dragging Eloe in the opposite direction after a sprining spurt. "Find Azor and sweap that incubi from of the board. Spare his life if it can be done but if he must be killed don't hesitate. Make him engage Azor and strike from behind." Knowing Azor he knew he would face him directly in one on one combat if he could chose if that wasn't what he was doing this instant.

Azor slid to a stop, throwing himself to the side and landing on all fours. A few of the pursuers tumbled over each other as the entropic champion made his way through the mobs, trying to knock aside other humanoids and tumble past the larger demons. His heart was pounding in his chest, a feeling of elation at the pure chaos around him as he flew through it like a wind of destruction. If at any point he were to spot Takis and his approaching host, Azor's sabre would leave it's sheathe for the first time since arriving to the outpost. He would unclip a bag containing several shrapnel bombs from his belt and set it alight with a spark, whipping it above his head and charging towards the incubus with a war cry in the harsh athasian tongue. Azor would hurl the bag at the demonic ranks behind the incubus and move in to engage him with a leaping stab at the fiend's heart.

Mauric and Eloe (OOC note: or those they had sent - I'm confused on that point) dashed towards the factory entrance, and very nearly ran straight into its Doomlord master as Theumar was rushing for the door, roaring about what the meaning of the commotion was, and the nerve of those who had not invited him. The Doomlord's sword was raised, but he gave brief pause at seeing his fellows at the door.
* * * * * * * * * * * *
Those who were looking for Takis did indeed find him at the front of the approaching demon rabble. The demon army happily threw itself into the skirmish already going on in front of the factory.
But upon seeing Azor charge, the incubus promptly stepped to the side behind a very large hulking demon, and used the unfortunate brute as a shield against sword and makeshift bomb. Takis then tried to loose himself in the melee - inching carefully behind fellow demons towards the safer middle of the crowd.

((Yeah realise I was unclear there. They Went staight to the factory.))
He returned to his true shape at the swordpoint. Removed his visored helmet to the Doomlord. "Demons atacking I'am assuming command. Rally the men." He would not linger to explain the full situation advancing inside ((if he would not be stopped at this point)) where he could get a good veiw of the factorys interior and more importantly the gates in and out.
"The Tanar'ri is assaulting. Block the gates with the throng of troops, allow a space for them to teleport into but make it narrow so that when they materialise they will be outnumbered at their positions! make it quick!" He drew his blade correcting every misplaced Doomguard. Allowing a triangle of free space which seemed as a larger to the intront where the base of the triangle was and the tip towards their rear. "Allow them inside then close the gap on them but only a small portion of them."
