The necromancer mummy shuffled along with his undead army. Sadly, none of his servants have mastered the art of stairs, so he descended to the next dungeon level alone.
Gasp! Immediately upon traversing the last step he could hear buzzing all around and the sickly scent of honey. He had unwittingly discovered a hive of killer bees! They immediately started to swarm and sting his fragile desiccated flesh as he shuffled as quickly as he could back up the stairs.
Three of the killer bees followed him, and were instantly engaged by the army waiting above. There were causalities, but the three bee's were defeated. Using his dark necromantic magics he raised them from the dead to be mindless zombies. Down again he descends the stairs, only to flee again with more bee's poking at his bandages. Once again they are defeated by the (now dwindling) army and once again he raises the corpses to fight again.
Another trip down, and before him buzzes the queen bee, more angry than anything he has ever seen. Seeing the hate in its eyes he retreats back up the stairs, followed and attacked by the queen. However, as the queen bee follows him up, she gazes upon the defiled zombie corpses of her children buzzing lifelessly in the air. Hesitant, she hovers towards them, hoping beyond hope they would remember her as the queen and help her against this threat to the hive.
The necromancer turns, and issues a single command. "Kill". The zombified bees charge and relentlessly attack the queen bee, who is stunned and horrified by this ultimate betrayal of her own children. They repeatedly stab her to death with their enlarged stingers, feeling nothing.
The necromancer descends once more to the hive, and starts to collect the spoils. Royal jelly! More than any man could eat, he is overjoyed for a moment, until he remembers...
Mummies can't eat food.
