[QUOTE="talien, post: 4993461, member: 3285"] [b]Isle of the Damned: Part 2a – The Boneshaper’s Throne[/b] They crawled through an aperture in the Skull’s mouth into a large, high-ceilinged room dominated by two massive metal cylinders, one on each side. Metal walkways lined the wall far above and two large vats were suspended among them. Ahead, racks upon racks of swords were set on a series of tracks in the floor. Everything in the place clanked loud enough to deafen them—undercut with a sinister groaning and hissing. “What the hell is this place?” asked Vlad. A voice boomed around them. “[FONT="Impact"]BATTLE IS TRUTH![/FONT]” Sebastian pointed up at the walkways above. Just then, six pirates hopped out from their hiding places near the metal cylinders and charged towards the ladder. Glittering, polished metallic skeletons atop eight-foot frames landed in the pirates’ path. They had reinforced plates across their chests and arms that scraped the floor. There was a hint of flame in their hollow sockets. “Baumann’s men,” said Vlad. “They must be after the artifacts!” Kham looked suspiciously at Vlad. “What did you tell them?” The rack of swords suddenly whirred to life and row after row of them filed out towards the mouth. “[FONT="Impact"]THE SWORD IS GOOD![/FONT]” bellowed the Skull. “What?” shouted Vlad. “We have to get up there!” shouted Sebastian. He flapped into the air. The pirates engaged the metallic skeletons with cutlasses, but they were clearly outmatched. Kham, Vlad, and Beldin slipped around one side and climbed the ladder. “[FONT="Impact"]BLOOD FOR THE SKULL![/FONT]” echoed the voice. Kham reached the top and then ducked down. “Look out!” Flames whooshed over him. “What now?” asked Vlad. “Big angry headstone,” said Kham. He leaped up onto the platform. Vlad and Beldin followed after. A large stone head, the size of a man, faced the ladder. “I’ll distract it!’ shouted Sebastian. “Keep going!” The dark-kin darted to and fro in the air before the headstone. The head moved to track him. Sebastian ducked another blast of flames from the headstone’s mouth. When his companions were through the door on the other side of the headstone, he flew past it and shut the door behind him. Just before he closed the door, the voice bellowed: “[FONT="Impact"]THE SKULL GIVES LIFE![/FONT]” [/QUOTE]
