[QUOTE="pogre, post: 950548, member: 6588"] [b]Episode 49[/b] Episode 49 Johann moved deftly around the undead opponents and sunk his blade into one. Quint missed and cursed to Hergassa. Bridget retrieved her holy symbol of Opheria. “In the name of her holiness I rebuke thee!” To the amazement of all, two of the three mummies retreated before the deity’s servant. [IMG]http://www.divinebattlelust.com/story_hour/0912_two_mummies_turned_th.jpg[/IMG] [URL=http://www.divinebattlelust.com/story_hour/0912_two_mummies_turned.jpg]Mummies turned.[/URL] Johann and Quint now had the third guardian mummy flanked and hacked into the linen-wrapped abomination with new fervor. Shortly it fell in tatters of centuries old bone, flesh, and cloth. “I cannot hold them forever,” Bridget cried in reference to the two mummies huddled in the corner. The men fell upon the cowed undead hacking with all of their might. Even in their vulnerable state the mummies were not without defense and not all of the blows were telling. Finally, the power of the turning waned and in a nick of time Johann struck down one of the monsters. The other mummy seemed buoyed with renewed courage and landed a terrible blow on Quint knocking him back. Johann tried to dissuade the mummy from further attacks on Quint, but the mummy continued its assault on Quint unabated. Quint weakly struck out but missed completely. Bridget realizing her help was needed struck the mummy with a powerful blow. Reeling, the mummy turned towards her. The distraction was all Johann needed. A powerful thrust from the fighter’s sword spelt doom for the mummy and it crumpled in a mess of tangled linen strips. The group sat down and rested a bit. “Bless Opheria,” Johann commented uncharacteristically. “Without you turning those two, we would have been in big trouble.” “As you said, ‘Bless Opheria’ – my role was secondary at best,” Bridget replied in appreciation. Quint went through the sarcophagi finding three masterwork scimitars. The adventurers packed the well-made swords away and proceeded to the southern door. ….. “By Olfader,” Johann profaned. This time Bridget did not object. The chamber they had come upon was immense and contained at least four dozen sarcophagi. [IMG]http://www.divinebattlelust.com/story_hour/0913_servants_tomb_th.jpg[/IMG] [URL=http://www.divinebattlelust.com/story_hour/0913_servants_tomb.jpg]Servants sarcophagi.[/URL] Each sarcophagi lid was carved with a simple body and a tool of trade. The walls were painted with persons engaged in various menial tasks. “Servants’ burial chamber,” Quint commented. “I do not like this,” Johann stated grimly. “We should leave these coffins alone,” Bridget advised. There were two more exits in the southern part of the room. “Let’s head over there,” Quint suggested pointing to the easternmost egress. Carefully moving through the mass of burial boxes the adventurers followed a short hall out of the chamber. A large central sarcophagus dominated the center of the room they came into. There were half dozen smaller stone boxes surrounding the large sarcophagus. The room’s paintings were of sad scenes of a woman crying. Johann and Quint stepped into the chamber. The lid to the sarcophagus opened and a women shrouded in linen will rise. She wailed in reverberating tones, “They are killing my children, my sweet infants, come to me my beauties.” [IMG]http://www.divinebattlelust.com/story_hour/0914_queen_mummy_th.jpg[/IMG] [URL=http://www.divinebattlelust.com/story_hour/0914_queen_mummy.jpg]Queen Mummy.[/URL] The small stone boxes around the central sarcophagus opened simultaneously. From each of these issued forth what looked like a badly malformed infant. The infants all wailed and cried, creating an unbearable cacophony of voices. The Queen rose with malice burning out of her dead eyes. Her crippled infant children crawled and squirmed along the floor towards the adventurers. “Turn them!” Johann yelled to Bridget. Bridget froze in fear. To be continued… [/QUOTE]
