[QUOTE="Iron Sky, post: 4988277, member: 60965"] Session 26, Part 1 Keeper and Kormak carefully lowered Bail's body down from the carriage into the waiting hands of the guardsmen. “What happened to the Free Agent?” one of them said as a group of them carried the half-dragon's body down a ramp to the small town at the base of the wall. Suniel shook his head. “As we fled, I saw several powerful spectral abominations closing in on him. His skill with a bow is great, but I doubt even he can survive a battle against six of them at once while stuck up in a tree.” The guardsmen all around them exchanged worried looks and Suniel could almost see the ripple of fear that made its way through their ranks. “What about that monster that was killing everyone?” one of them called out. “Is it coming this way now?” “It was a nightwalker,” Keeper said. “Your Free Agent killed it just before the wraiths arrived,” Suniel said with a curious glance at Keeper. A halfhearted cheer went up after that, but died away quickly. “What about the wraiths?” another guardsman called out. “If we don't get back there and retake the breach, they'll overrun us!” Suniel glanced at the guardsmen carrying Bail away, then down to Kormak. “We should go back and get Harold's body at least, see if we can claim it before the walking dead devour him.” “By 'we' you mean you and Keeper, right?” Kormak said. Suniel stared at him. “Fine, fine, wouldn't want the zombies getting indigestion.” Minutes later they were back at the breach, the carriage plowing through the dead that had already packed the wall again. Suniel pulled the carriage to a stop and glanced around as Kormak and Keeper set to taking down anything that got too close to the carriage. The area looked almost identical to how they'd left it, except next to the wall below was a fifty-foot tall tree that hadn't been there before. Suniel glanced down at it, detecting the definite after-effects of conjuration. “Harold, you alive down there?” He tilted his head and listened, hearing nothing but the continuous moan of the close-packed dead below and the occasional sounds of fighting from the front or back of the carriage. “Harold?” “I said, I'm alive, no thanks to you,” he heard, the archer's words just barely audible. “There were way too many of those things. Throw down a rope or something.” “Is he dead and eaten yet?” Kormak called from the front of the carriage. “And if so, can we go now?” “He's alive,” Suniel said, opening up his carriage and pulling out a length of rope he always kept just inside for emergencies. He tied the rope off on a side-railing and tossed the end down to the tree. A few minutes later, he helped haul Harold up, the human's face looking drawn and his usually immaculate uniform torn to shreds by the pawing hands of the dead. “Good to see you alive,” Suniel said. “We lose anyone?” Harold said, climbing atop the carriage as Suniel pulled up the rope. “We lost Bail.” Harold grunted. “Keeper, Kormak, pull back, we're heading back,” Suniel called as he climbed atop the carriage bench. The construct and dwarf complied. “Oh, you're alive,” Kormak said, glancing in mock surprise at Harold as he settled down atop the rapidly accelerating carriage. “Made quite a sight, you falling out of the sky like that.” “The undead I landed on mostly broke my fall,” Harold said. “Then I saved your lives, climbed that tree, and, single-handed, killed half-a-dozen shadows and wraiths.” “Yup, sure is good to have you back,” Kormak said, patting Harold on the back. “Now we can get back to saving the world.” “Or at least the few parts that are worth saving,” Harold said. “On that, at least, we agree,” Kormak said, clapping his hand on Harold's shoulder. “So lets get the heck out of the Crystal Towers and go save them.” Harold shrugged the dwarf's hand off and settled into one of his brooding silences.
