[QUOTE="talien, post: 4166987, member: 3285"] [b]Cut Throat's Gold - Part 6c: The Lair of the Necromancer[/b] Beldin spit bile out of his mouth and charged around the brambles. Two large, very dead ogres stumped towards him with huge clubs in their hands. “Come on!” shouted the dwarf with a feral grin. “I know how to fight your kind!” The first ogre slammed downwards, but Beldin rolled tightly in a ball to the side and came up next to its leg. With a mighty swing, he nearly hewed the ogre’s foot off at the ankle. A living ogre would have been fatally incapacitated. But these were no living ogres. The second one swung at Beldin, but it was too slow. Instead, it ended up smashing into the other ogre. Beldin took the opportunity to roll out of the way. When he rose up, the dwarf hurled a throwing axe at the back of the head of the other ogre. Again, it would normally have been a killing shot. The ogre spun, Beldin’s axe still protruding from its head, and moaned in a feeble approximation of rage. “I could use a little help!” shouted Beldin as the two ogres turned to face him. There was a primal roar as Cal’s earflaps sprang up. The tentacle strained and then was torn in half as he burst free from its confines. The ss’ressen turned to Dril, who met his gaze with eyes wide. Cal advanced on him. Dril’s arms were pinned. He was helpless. Claws ripped into the tentacles. With a mighty burst of black ichor, the tentacle squeezing Dril gave out. It twitched wildly and then fell to the ground as Dril slipped out of its grip. A long claw, dripping in black goo, pointed at Ilmarė. “Help her,” said Cal. “I’ve got work to do.” Dril watched in disbelief as the enraged ss’ressen barreled straight towards Tomas, heedless of all the obstacles in between. With a mighty swing of his tail, the remains of a wall were slapped out of the way. Two corpses moved to intercept, but Cal swept them aside with a slash from his two-handed axe. A third looked up at him and moaned pathetically before Cal bit down on its head and worried the corpse like a dog with a bone. It was all the second ogre could do to block the ball of reptilian rage’s axe with his club. The force of the blow dug up furrows at the ogre’s feet. “Better,” said Beldin. He dove between the first ogre’s legs and hacked upwards, cleaving its hipbones in twain. The dead ogre split apart at the seams, collapsing in a pile of dusty bones and leathery skin. With another bellow, Cal hacked the head of the ogre clean off its shoulders. It too collapsed into its component parts. Beldin was too busy watching Cal’s feat of strength to notice Herbert creeping up behind him. He caught a glimpse of a shovel whistling towards his head. Then all was dark. [/QUOTE]
