[Heliman]

"Now we may begin. I swore to never use magic again, but apparently this was not wished upon me to be so."

The priest opened the book, it opened with an unsatisfying squelch. He had to stop himself from gagging on the book's stench. He mumbled something, and the red liquid forming the pentagram turned from red to a bright white. It began to glow with bright, blinding light. The pentagram shifted, forming the shape of an Orthodox cross. Reb began to speak.
"War broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled eight but it did not prevail, neither was a place found for them any longer in heaven. So down the great dragon was hurled, the original serpent, the one called Devil and Satan, who is misleading the entire inhabited earth; he was hurled down to the earth, and his angels were hurled down with him. On this account be glad, YOU heavens and YOU who reside in them! Woe for the earth and for the sea, because the Devil has come down to YOU, having great anger, knowing he has a short period of time. As YOU go, preach, saying, ‘The kingdom of the heavens has drawn near.’ Cure sick people, raise up dead persons, make lepers clean, expel demons. YOU received free, give free. When he got to the other side, into the country of the Gadarenes, there met him two demon-possessed men coming out from among the memorial tombs, unusually fierce, so that nobody had the courage to pass by on that road. And, look! they screamed, saying: “What have we to do with you, Son of God? Did you come here to torment us before the appointed time?” But a long way off from them a herd of many swine was at pasture. So the demons began to entreat him, saying: “If you expel us, send us forth into the herd of swine.” Accordingly he said to them: “Go!” They came out and went off into the swine; and, look! the entire herd rushed over the precipice into the sea and died in the waters.”
Amen.

Exhausted, Reb fell over, unconscious.

This is the bit where someone says what happens.

[Fniff]

The lich explodes in bones, and doesn't regenerate. The rest of the zombies rot exceedingly, eventually disappearing.

A helicopter is flying over to the town on the horizon. Looks like a pick-up.

[Bdthemag]

"Nice job on the lich, hopefully he didn't store his essence anywhere else. Now if you'll excuse me i'll be heading back to my lai- I mean my house." he then starts walking north.

[choobakka]

OOC: you guys ruined my awesome death-speech for the lich. Jerks.

King glanced up at the helicopter. He picks up a few lich bones and sticks them into his hat for later. "Well. That's it then. We only lost all of our payment and a whole town this time. Revivāte!" The whole group's wounds heal. King grimaces, and nearly falls to the ground near Reb. "Oh, and I wrecked the van and nearly exhausted all my power. So, overall, more than I expected."

[Fniff]

"Ahuh. You magicians, you should really use more practical things. Such as a first aid kit. You take all the fun out of things!" Blankey sighs, and rubs his arms.

The helicopter lands near the folks. A military looking man steps out.

"Gentlemen. It appears that the town has been lost. Well, it wasn't of strategic importance anyway. Plus, that lich could have done a lot more damage then what it did here. It was worth losing the town."

[choobakka]

King glares at the military man. "You bastard. You knew there was a lich here. You sent us to get that stupid monster because you knew we would go here. We are going to take your money and leave this third-world shit hole you call a nation. After we pick up our stuff."

[Heliman]

((And hopefully the reverend))

[Fniff]

"We could have risked hundreds of men trying to take back this place during the early stages. It was simply the lives of the many over the lives of the few and the unimportant. Do you know how unstable the nation is after the Frost Incident? It was already before this. Now, we have a 3-sided civil war, not counting us. Who cares about a little backwater hick town? Types like you make me sick. You ruin things for power. If we lost you, then we would send another." The Military Man crosses his arms.

"Sir." Blankey salutes.

The Military Man smiles.

"I see one of your number has respect."

He walks over, and kicks the reverend in the ribs.

"Preachers. Useless sacks of shit, really. Religion is the opiate of the masses."

[choobakka]

"I am going to count to three. If you are not handing me money by then, I am going to unleash all of my power in your direction. So. One... Two..."

[Fniff]

The Military Man takes out a wad of cash.

"One Mississippi, two Mississippi..." He starts counting the individual bills. Then he looks up.

"I am not that stupid." He tosses the wad at King's feet.

[choobakka]

"Good. Blankey, or James, or whoever the hell is in that body, get the preacher into a car. I'm sure there are some around here to use. We are going to the airport. Now."

[Fniff]

OCC: If you want, I'll get rid of the time skip.

"..." The Military Man gets on the helicopter, motioning for the rest to get on.

"Let's get your useless hides onto this helicopter so you can die painfully for once."

[Heliman]

(ah woah woah woah, either they get in the heli or they go to the airport.)

[Fniff]

(Timeskip awaaaaaaaay!)

[choobakka]

((And now we're at the airport. Yay.))
King looks at the departure board. "So. Where shall we go? It really doesn't matter that much, since, you know, we'll find some awful things anywhere, but, you know..."
