UNDER A DARKSUN
SEGMENT 124
“Run Like Your Life Depends on it…”
“Run like your life depends on it…because it does!” HAHAHAHAHAHHHH!
Minscar walks away from his viewing gem. The young pups are on the run. Chaffle is dead and now part of Bodach’s undead forces. A new Dwarven Banshee has joined him also. Except for the loss of Halobreaker it has been an entertaining day. Now it is night. Now he can be a direct observer and player.
Minscar gathers a regiment of skeletons lead by several ogre skeletons and skeletal dogs. He will follow and hound the three pups all night from one corner of the city to another. Then as the sun threatens to awake…he will kill them. This should bring Jenner to him.
Minscar urges his forces forward. Telepathically he commands his undead army to corral the three runaways. He wants them trapped by the silt. Here they have no where to run and his power is the strongest. Here he will kill them.
“Comon we have to keep going.” Yells Mania as he rushes forward. The two women follow him. Not because they think he is correct, but because it is their only option left that allows them to live. The undead do indeed hound them and get them to turn back to the docks again. They know this is bad but what other option do they have?
Reaching the dock area several of the undead stops and await the new orders from Minscar. Then suddenly the air rips in two. Bright light, nearly like that of daylight pours out. The skeletons are not affected but several screams can be heard by undead more sensitive to the light. Out from light comes a lightly armored figure. Gray hairs appear over his ears giving a sense of age and wisdom. His look is grim and determined. Behind steps out a half giant with a large club made it iron bands. A thin elf wearing blue and white steps out next. He moves to allow room for the next and final person. A balding man with colorless eyes.
Minscar suddenly is filled with fear…….Korgunard……and his Bold Brigade……..
“I…I don’t think..they hah…..don’t think they….are following…us….anymore” pants Cosa as she nearly collapses in the silt. Belinda is just as winded. Mania, breathing hard, smiles and tries to point.
Looking behind them…beams of light and energy stream out from behind them. The roar of the undead can be heard as they are destroyed by power above their means. Many of these, the original undead of Bodach, will reform tomorrow, as per the curse. Others will not. The ghouls, the zombies, the vampire creatures will not return. They face Korgunard and his friends, allies and apprentice. Chaffle’s request and plea for help has been heard and answered.
Korgunard’s elven apprentice draws Minscar out of hiding. “You have crimes to pay for old cleric of the choking silt. You play games with and against forces beyond your control. You must pay for all of these…NOW.”
Even as he is thrown down before Jenner and Korgunard, a massive Silt Storm forms and comes into the ruins. With a powerful wave of his arm, Jenner calls forth earth from deep below the silt and it covers the three of them. Within this earthen and stone dome will Minscar’s fate be decided. He has no chance. No chance at all.
Within one minute the skeletons become confused and disoriented. Many return to gathering the city's treasures. Others go to attack the heroes but never take a step before being struck down.
The dome recedes and reveals Korgunard, Jenner and the unanimated skeleton of Minscar. “We must leave this place. Borys and his fellow champions may have detected our presence away from our wards.”
“And the three Sentinels..?”
“Are already being looked onto” interrupts the elf.
Then all is quiet.
