Turn 64
[2] Alexander tried to perform dark cleansing, but presence of nearby undead made him too nervous to do so.
[Alexander: 6, Undead soldier: 4] Peasant ran towards the last remaining undead soldier and with a swift move stabbed through it's head. The walking corpse fell dead instantly, but a dark spirit emerged from the body!
[1] Darkfallen emerged from body of undead soldier and instantly revived an undead knight!
[Ghatzu: 1, Darkfallen: 1] Sightless man attempted to send a dark blast at the dark spirit, but only blasted himself! Darkfallen tried to possess the undead knight, but it was too weak after reviving it and some of it's essence disappeared!
[Undead knight: 3, Alexander: 4] Revived undead tried to bait Alexander's parry, but he wasn't fooled by it and slain the undead!
[4] Too much taint gathered upon Alexander, but he resisted the curse this time!
[Jonathen: 2 -1, Impling: 4] Jonathen tried to put some more distance between himself and the demon, but he tripped over hunter's body he looted, and the impling hastily caught up to him and shredded his face into bloody pasta with it's claws!
I cannot say it resolved well. As far as I am aware, the demonologist took a portal to the dark cathedral after a undead magi that was hunting you showed up. I doubt he is friendly to either of us anymore, but one can hope otherwise. - inquisitor said to demigoddess.
[6]
A dark cathedral? An undead magi moving after me? We truly must act quickly and find the spear before they'll find us. A pity that we've lost two companions, but this can't stop us now that we're so close! - Lyirah replied.
I gave my word to protect you in your quest, and I will do so till my dying breath, regardless of what may come. Lead on Mi'lady, and let us make haste before the undead magi finds you again. - Reynald said.
[4]
Yes, let's go. There's no time to waste! - demigoddess said, sitting on her gargoyle and helping inquisitor get up on it as well.
Dhynn's spear is somewhere close, there should be a cavern nearby. I can feel it! - she said.
[1] Just when they were able to take off, a lightning stroke a ledge above them and a powerful, enormous demon appeared.
I am the Thunderlord, demonic master of lightnings! You have slain Maelstorm, return the embers now, and you will die a painless death! Resist, and I'll skin you alive with thousands of little thunders! - Thunderlord shouted, his mighty, electric voice echoing within mountain ranges.
[Dennis: 3, Undead warrior: 6, Undead warrior: 3]
Oh, excellent work stabbing your friend there, halberd! You managed to hurt your own side 'afore dyin'. Very impressive. - Duke tried to masterfully taunt the halberdier, but it resisted and just scoffed at Dennis' laughable attempt. It gave glaive weilding undead enough time to recover after a blow and with a powerful overhead swing, split the halberdier in hald, stopping somewhere close to chest!
[1 +1] Serrana tried to shoot a holy bolt at the remaining undead, but she couldn't. The gory scene of undead warrior splitting his companion in half was too disturbing for her to act.
[2 +1] Exorcist tried to get some more information from the spirit, but only heard:
You held the idol gods closed me in not long ago. You really need to ask why I want to take my revenge on them?[Undead warrior: 1, Serrana: 1] Noticing the attack attempt from exorcist, the undead charged right at her but missed and tripped to the ground. Trying to jump away, Serrana landed badly and broke her leg!
[Erlath's spirit: 6, Undead warrior: 5] Erlath's spirit tried to instill fear in his opponent, but taunted it instead! The corpse slashed spirit with it's glaive after getting up, but haven't hurted it due to it's spiritual form.
[Lysander: 5, Undead warrior: 3] Demonologist hastily turned the brimstone crossbow into a sword and backstabbed the undead warrior, killing it!
Ah, yes, because it is such a surprise that the millenia-old strongholds of the Dragons lay empty and in disrepair. Do not attempt to taunt me with evident facts, spirit; give me reason to believe that you mean to aid us, and I may choose to listen to what you have to say. - Aaron replied to the mysterious spirit with somewhat angry tone, then moved on to check what Cryptlord was carrying.
[3 +3] Aaron found that the great hammer it weilded is not just a huge hammer, but it's a weapon of demonic origin! He also found an interesting charm - wyvern's scale. The armor that brute was wearing was still mostly intact, though it'd require a lot of strenght to wear it.
[3 +3]
Evident facts!? Northern fortresses were abandoned just recently, when demonic sieges started! Dragons opened portals and taken inhabitants of their keeps to their realm. Those that were left either never were true worshippers, or were left to grow in power. And it's not hard to tell why you were left, dragonruler! - spirit replied.
Look, we don't have to fight. We should let the spirit tell the full story before attemping anything. But right now, we have to find the others, so I hope he is fast. - demonologist said, to what dragon replied:
I was suggesting no differently.[6 +3]
The visions you received weren't events of ancient times, they happened mere days ago! You were left in Axewrath to become the next dragonmaster, and eventually become a dragon just like Qloth in the ages past. I can't tell you more than this. - spirit stopped for a moment, then said:
Somewhere in this keep, where you can be close to the blackened sun, lurks a powerful opponent. During life he was one of the most powerful mortals in history of Axewrath, and even won a duel with one of the dragonmasters. The dread knight awaits, and he's a patient one. Don't try any surprise attacks or ambush tacticts, it can feel your heartbeat and sense your souls. He may be even watching us, listening to every word of our conversation. If you can defeat him, you may free soul of your predecessor and technically become a dragonmaster. - as the spirit said last words, it faded out and disappeared.
Vivian joined Aaron and Pguhyuh.
