[QUOTE="Eeralai, post: 2729256, member: 15008"] [b]A day in the necropolis[/b] We landed for our second venture in the mortal realm and were very pleased to see many more people living in the towns that the goblins had tried to destroy the last time we were here. I don't think I saw the people we rescued last time. I guess they might be dead since it appears to be a long time in mortal years since we were here last. What a walk we had to take to get to the necropolis. I had to walk through grass taller than me! Fuzzy, of course, was still tall enough to walk through it and Marius could fly. Not only was it difficult to see, but the wind kept nipping at my nose and ghouls found it easy to hide in. Of course, they were still no match for us, but it's annoying to be walking along and have a dead hand try to grab your throat. I was relieved when we came to the river, even though it was cold. It was still easier to swim through then spending all that time walking through grass. As we neared the necropolis, life ceased to exist. I felt coldness creep into my soul and wanted to rain down destruction on the city so that the gods could use the land to build something beautiful. Maybe a lush garden bountiful with plants, animals and fertility. I tried to picture the garden as we walked into the city. The gloom pressed into me more the further we got into the city. Finally, Furry heard a horse. Rounding a corner came a huge armored rider whose ribs I could see through, on top of an equally huge horse. My companions hid like spies only wanting information. But I knew we were here to destroy evil and ran boldly forward to take them down. As I ran toward him, he tilted his head back and let out a tremendous howl that not only echoed throughout the city, but also engulfed me in a purple fog that tore away part of my life. Xileth came to his sinces and ran up to us. Fortunately the rider missed me when he swung at me with a pick. I was able to hit his horse's knees, but Xileth missed the rider. The rider charged through both of us as Marius flew over his head. Marius glowed like a shooting star and sent a charge of holiness that disintegrated the horse. Xileth tried to graple the rider while I tried to hit him, but we both failed. Marius landed, but only to be tripped by the monstrosity. Finally, Xileth is able to tackle him so that we can get our killing blows in. Furry and Marius picked through his stuff, but I didn't want to touch anything touching that thing. Got on with our walk through the defiled city after some skeletons tried to take us down. Silly skeletons. We were able to locate the priest of Belmay who had been tortured for so many centuries. I was torn between weeping for his soul and wanting to rip the sanctuary down in order to free him. Even ripping it down, though would not have broken the enchantment. A wall of blood stood at the end, and it was not until Marius broke one of the pins holding the priest down that the blood started to dry up. We destroyed the three pins which destroyed the spell.
