Merrix?!?  Lady Elaydren?”The changling makes a sutle nod which is caught by Boddynoc.  “Strike to the Right!” and the battle erupts once more.  Asunder swings to his right with his weapon and a burst of blood from no where suggests the invisible mage was struck well.  He crumbles to Asunder’s feet and drops his wand.  Dying he grabs the wand again and before Asunder or anyone else can act he snaps it and dies as it explodes within the sensitive area.A loud boom is heard above that startles Rorsa.  She runs to the hatch which now smokes and smarks.  She calls out to Boddynoc but hears nothing but the crackle of a fire. Below, the lights flicker once more.  Asunder has been blown apart from the waist down.  Most of the other forged are stunned or down.  The few humans are dead, burned by the magic release.  The changeling is badly injured but alive.  Boddynoc looks at his torn body.  “There are good things about being less than perfectly alive.  Pain for instance, is what I choice to make of it.”  Turning to the moaning form near him he adds, “And I know how to give it out.   Too bad about Asunder.  I will need a new warforged bodyguard I suppose.”A few hours later, Jonal wakes up.  She wishes she had not.  She and three other survivors have been hung up within what looks like a shower room.  She inspects her injuries.  Her shoulder, burning from being dislocated and now tied above her looks grossly wrong.  A few teeth are missing.  Her right leg can not support any weight.  “Awake finally.  Good.”She rolls her head to the left and there stands the undead zombie holding a vial.  “*&%#@ you.”“*&%#@ me?”  Come now, is that anyway to speak to the person that is about to make a whole new you?”Suddenly she knows fear.  “What do you mean?”“I was once very normal.  I felt pain, I felt hunger, I felt cold.   Now I feel only rage and the need to discover what makes a warforged tick.   I suspect there is more here to discover to help me reach those goals.”She is quiet.  Her eyes never leave the vial.“What is here?  I thought it was a possibly a forge but it is not.  It is something else.  What is here?”Nothing.“For a non-living creature I have little patience.  Tell me-  what is here of such great importance?”The gnome places his yellow skinned hand on her hip.  “These burns look bad.  Is that bone I see?  Its all so black and charred.”  He pushes on the meat and she screams louder than he stating that this was in fact a piece of warforged that melted within her skin.She passes out.In the next room , Asunder’s remains are laid out.  Boddynoc hopes to fix him but doesn’t know how.  He needs a cleric and most cleric’s would have nothing to do with him at this.  What to do?</blockquote>
