Are these three sentences worded in the best way?

FYI- Malik is the Chosen of Cyric, and Yder's force are the Shadovar. Kleef and Arietta watched the slaughter on the Wave Wyvern from the shore, and they then met Joelle and Malik. Since Yder’s force had been pursuing her and Malik since Big Bone Deep, Joelle knew that the shades would find them once again, so despite the Chosen of Cyric’s objections, she revealed their mission to Kleef and Arietta and convinced the pair to help them deliver the Eye of Gruumsh to Gurmbar’s temple in the Underchasm. In addition to wanting to stop Shar’s plans, Arietta and Kleef sought to confront the Shadovar warriors in the hope that they could rescue Elira.
