[QUOTE="talien, post: 5021726, member: 3285"] [b]Isles of the Damned: Part 5f – R’lyeh[/b] As Beldin and Vlad climbed their way down to the treasure chamber, they encountered more iron faces that lined the shaft. “[I]Do you really think he’ll let you leave with it?[/I]” one face asked Beldin. The dwarf ignored it. “[I]Don’t think I won’t find a way out![/I]” snarled another. “[I]And when I do, I’m coming for you![/I]” “Come after me,” answered Vlad. “I’d like to wipe that sneer off your face personally.” They finally reached the bottom. Nothing could have prepared them for the sight. “This isn’t a king’s ransom,” whispered Beldin breathlessly. “It’s a god’s ransom!” The wealth of ten thousand years of shipwrecks sat before them, arrayed in great swelling dunes that nearly scraped the ceiling of the low, circular room. Piles of coins, gems, jewels, and masterwork items filled the room. Kham was already there, counting a pile of coins. Sebastian stood impassively, arms crossed, surveying his surroundings. Vlad yelped with glee. “I could buy an army with this! Hell, my own kingdom!” He ran over to one of the piles. Sebastian rolled his eyes. Kham cackled. “I’m going to outfit a ship. An Altherian ship. With lots of cannons. I’ll be the scourge of the seas once more!” “Since when do you care so much about gold?” asked Sebastian. “Isn’t your family rich?” Kham didn’t reply, he just kept counting out gold. The dwarf had even succumbed to temptation. “With this…” he let several diamonds fall through his fingers, “I could pay a thousand forgers to work on Elabac’s perfect item. I could have the finest armor and weapons known to man and dwarf…” Beldin was so enamored with the loot that he didn’t see a mound of glittering gold rise up behind him. Its eyes were rubies, its fingers scythed out in the form of jewel-encrusted daggers and swords. “Ah ah!” Kham waved the Leviathan Pistol in the air. “As Lord of the Oceans, you’ll do my bidding!” The animated mounds of treasure, twelve in all, shambled towards Kham. “Uh…” Vlad backed up, sword and shield at the ready. The mounts kneeled before Kham and bowed what might have been their heads. “Now,” said Kham. “Start climbing.” [/QUOTE]
