[QUOTE="talien, post: 4169262, member: 3285"] [b]Cut Throat's Gold - Part 6d: The Lair of the Necromancer[/b] Kham decided being six-feet under wasn’t such a bad thing after all. Thanks to his ring, he was completely unhindered; by tentacles, by brambles, by dirt. It gave him time to focus. Kham concentrated as he was briefly slicked with a translucent, shimmering substance. His heart pounded with new energy as his entire metabolism sped up. He was going to need it. With a mighty leap, Kham launched himself out of the shallow grave, Fleshripper in both hands. Tomas’ back was to Kham, but as the val came down he stepped aside. “You’re not dead? Vell, let’s fix dat.” He pointed at Kham. “[FONT=Impact]Pavor![/FONT]” Kham felt a momentary wash of fear flow over him. It passed as quickly as it had come. “I’ve fought gods before,” said Kham. “I’m not going to run away from a wuss like you.” He took another clumsy swing at Tomas. The necromancer stepped out of the reach of his blade. “You are really beginning to irritate me. [FONT=Impact]Terreo![/FONT]” Kham felt another moment of panic for a split-second. It was enough to make him miss Tomas with another swing, but it wore off immediately. Tomas blinked. “Let’s see how you react to de chill of de grave! [FONT=Impact]Exanimus attingo![/FONT]” The necromancer’s hand crackled with black energy. He reached out to touch Kham… But was stopped short by an invisible shield. Kham swung Fleshripper in a wide arc, nicking Tomas’ armor. A piece of bone chipped off of it. “Damn it! Vhat de hell are you?” Tomas pointed at Kham again. “[FONT=Impact]Sopor![/FONT]” This time the spell took hold. Kham blinked and fell to his knees. Then he fell backwards, unconscious. “Finally!” Tomas whirled, aggravated. “Dis is taking too long. You minions are useless! De only one I can rely on is Herbert. So let’s find another use for you.” He extended one hand, and one by one, the corpses who were entangled in Bijoux’s briar exploded into dust. Black bolts of energy surged from the evaporated bodies into Tomas. “Much better.” He flexed his hands with renewed strength. “And now, Herbert, it’s time you cleaned up dis mess.” He pointed at Herbert and a crackled bolt of necromancy flew into Tomas’ minion. The much smaller Herbert blocked the blow from Cal’s axe with ease. The ss’ressen looked on in disbelief as the sewn-lipped henchman batted him aside with his shovel. Cal collided with a piece of masonry that collapsed on top of him. Vlad finally broke Ilmarė free of the last of the tentacles. “Kham’s down!” She gasped for breath. “But he’s not dead. He’s asleep.” Kham had collapsed right behind the necromancer. “If we can wake him…” “Bijoux!” shouted Sebastian. “You’ve got to summon something to wake Kham!” The fihali, ears flat against her head, was balanced on one of the ruined walls. “Onara’s creatures shun this place.
