[Unbounded World:The Aeterian Expedition] (Now With New And Improved Amulets!)

After moving Duncan to Teppic's room, Talsia commences the ritual of ressurection. 10 minutes later she hurls the diamond into the air where coalesces into a pulsating dark-light and sinks into Duncan's body, knitting his rotting flesh and restoring his eyes, and Dunan awakens.

Duncan inhales sharply and starts coughing violently as if there's somethin in his throat that just wouldn't go away. When he calms down he spits in a corner and says only "Crap".
He stands up, adjusts his armor and sheathes his sword.
"Thank you, Talsia. And thank you too guys, I needed that. What day is this?"
 

Teppic clasps Duncan's forearm once he stands up.

"Welcome back to this world, swordsman. It is still the same day. . . we were forced to retreat from the ambush. We plan to recover, regroup and reequip ourselves in preparation for hunting down the dragon. I presume you are still with us?"
 

"Well it depends. Are you planning to make its demise the most painful thing ever heard of on this side of the sea? If so, I surely am with you. Take a note: if you ever wish to turn me into some kind of undead abomination, make sure I stay that way, or you're going to regret it. Oh, how you'll regret it. So what's the plan? How did we arrive here?"
 

Lochan smiles at the cheerfulness of his now returned companion, his head still swimming slightly from the unnatural sleep, he maintains at least an outside calm.
 

"Hey Duncan, how does it feel to breath again? Next time, brush your teeth before you die, will ya? I can tell you it's no pleasure headbutting you when you're undead." He sniffs. "Hey, it had nothing to do with you being dead after all."

He playfully punches him on the shoulder. "Good to have you back my fellow. Now let's get geared up and shove that dragons's head up his arse, right?"

"Oh, yeah, if I die, cut off my head, because I'll kill you all if I'm turned into whatever it was you were"
 

"Why waiting for you to die for that? Nah, we'd better keep this handy hammer around should we find some coconuts."
He grins at his draconic companion, returning the punch.
"I'm all for kicking that bitch's arse, but how do we go there? We got to jog another time through the desert? And have we got any way to keep us awake and kickin' this time?"
 


Teppic does a quick mental inventory of his equipment, but comes up short.

"I do not have anything that would help, but perhaps our priestess knows some magic to protect us against the gas. I could see if the temple has anything that we might be able to borrow as well, but their are no guarentees and I am a bit short of funds to be purchasing anything that powerful."
