[QUOTE="ukingsken, post: 4854003, member: 78358"] As Magnus sends several booming walls of force slamming into the door it jumps back several feet with the first attempt, and then flies open banging against the wall with a resounding crash and swinging back just in time for Kamotz to catch it with his flying kick. Almost the same instant as Kamotz lands, a brilliant flash of purple, bruise colored radiance explodes from inside the room blinding you all momentarily. When the spots clear from your vision you can take in the whole room. The sheer size of the crypt is mind boggling. From the doorway it stretches back nearly 200 feet, and is nearly as wide from side to side. From the doorway pairs of cracked pillars line a promenade across the floor toward a massive marble staircase which rises 10 feet to an altar. The altar itself is a strange white marble veined with a jet black stone you do not recognize and bears the typical accoutrements of Lauto's church. Resting in midair above the altar, and now emitting a sickly violet hued radiance is the scepter. The glow is slowly expanding, already pushing against the walls. Scattered around the room you see 16 ornate sarcophugi, 2 larger sarcophugi at the far end of the room, as well as hundreds of smaller burial shelves built into the raised platforms that box in the pillared walkway. Standing at the foot of the stairs, back turned, is what can only be Slardazial. Contrary to his derisive nickname he strikes a rather imposing figure. Standing nigh on 6'5 and of obvious Orcish lineage, Slardazial has two prominent tusks protruding from his mouth. He seems to be addressing the two largest sarcophugi at the far end of the crypt. [COLOR=Purple]You will all cower in his presence. When the dead walk again they will pave his way in the blood of the living. Zal'Ekthees will return and I will be his exarch upon this plane! With legions of faithful undead, no more shall I weather the prattling of useless sycophants who besmirch me simply because of my lineage. "Slardy do those tusks do anything other then attract female boars?" or "Hey Barf-fast why don't you get out of here before you scare the children!" We'll see how those useless excuses for priests feel when they're blood is the nectar served at my table.[/COLOR] [COLOR=White]Suddenly noticing the bang of the door, Slardazial turns to face you. His eyes lock on Kamotz with an almost feral joy. He flexes his fists, one hand grasping a wand carved of a strange red material that seems to undulate in his hand. [COLOR=Purple]Belingras sent you?! He's too late that doddering old fool! I've already completed the ritual and its just a matter of time now before the wards in this entire district are corrupted!! But since he was so gracious to send you my way perhaps I'll show you the earliest fruits of my Labor! [COLOR=White]Hands raised above his head, violet energy shimmers along the length of the scepter and shoots to slardy's hands before slamming into the small burial shelves lining the walls and staggering you all. As the energy pours out of the scepter the spreading radiance shrinks noticeably before resuming its steady creep outward. As the rest of the party jumbles into the room, 3 of the bodies rise from there shelves along with what appear to be three large preserved dogs and 2 spirits. [COLOR=Purple]Blood has not been spilt on Daunton in his name since before the exile. This is a great honour for you! hahahaha. [COLOR=White]Slardazial degenerates into fitful laughter, his teeth and tusks grinding together and cutting his lips creating a crimsom foam around the corners of his mouth. [sblock=Map] On the map the blue circle represents Kamotz. The rest of you should indicate which color you are. Forgive my crude map, if you could just give me your movements in N/S & E/W that would be great. The 3 Teal squares represent the dogs, the 2 Sickly yellow squares are fleshy corpses with claws, the 2 green squares are spirits, the brown square is a bloated corpse that has begun to ooze viscuous fluids and regenerate much of its flesh since being animated, and last but not least the red square with X is Slardazial.
