[QUOTE="talien, post: 5507812, member: 3285"] [b]Gothic: Part 12 – Asking for Directions[/b] Jim-Bean skidded into the entry room to Thredra's lair. He was really starting to dislike the place. "It's done," he said. "So I gathered." Thredra had changed. Instead of her midriff-baring outfit she wore armor sewn from pale skins. The armor was studded with sharp canine teeth and adorned with a voluminous hood. Jim-Bean guessed it was made from people. Attired as she was, he actually found her more attractive. "We saw mist come through here—" began Archive, but Jim-Bean cut him off. Thredra's gaze shifted from Archive back to Jim-Bean. He could tell she didn't like Archive one bit. "And you want to finish the job PISCES started." "Think of it as a promotion," said Jim-Bean. More gunfire. The guardian Nadasdy had summoned was formidable, but it couldn't hold off an OCCULUS team magically loaded for bear. "It's decision time, Thredra. The clock's ticking." Thredra sighed. "Fine. You passed his tomb on the far right side." "Is it trapped?" asked Hammer. Jim-Bean sighed. "Of course it's trapped." Thredra smiled. "I can't make this easy on you, you understand. If word got out that I helped you—" "The new minions would never follow you." Jim-Bean nodded. "Got it." Boots marched down the hall. "Can you slow them down?" Thredra nodded. "Go all the way south in the catacombs. You can't miss it." "Great," Jim-Bean turned to go. "You'll need to find a way out of here. You can't go back this way, it's not safe. There's a portal on the northwestern part of the catacombs, behind King Tomescu's tomb. It will take you back to your destination, but I warn you…it will exact a price." "Fine." The others went ahead of him down the hall. The gunfire stopped completely. Now just booted steps echoed in the hall. "Andy?" Jim-Bean almost didn't turn around. "Yeah?" "How will I find you?" Jim-Bean flashed her a smile and a wink. "Windthrope Manor. Look me up." Thredra beamed, staring after the spot in the hallway after Jim-Bean had fled. Then her expression turned serious. "Bertram? We're leaving." The disgusting muck in the pool at the center of the room bubbled to life. One formed appendage lifted up a heavy trunk in the shape of a coffin. The other slid beneath her feet. It roiled beneath her, an ever-moving carpet of death at its mistress' beck and call. She lifted one hand without looking back to make her last order. "Toodles, Twiddles? Block that passage!" The two oozing giants began squeezing their bulk through the hall behind her. "I knew those overgrown blood sacs would be useful for something," she muttered. [/QUOTE]
