(YBA) Drax in Wicht's Lair

[Wicht]

There are four zombie rats sitting in front of the throne and as kalath crawls out from the tunnel they turn and stare at him, but they make no hostile move as of yet.

Drax looks at the man on the throne and sees that his flesh is rotting and in places his bones are showing. He is obviously dead. However he continues to prattle on in that strange voice of his. Looking, Drax sees that indeed, his throat is torn open.

The strange undead man turns his eyes towards Drax.

"A visitor comes to take out the garbage. I remember my last visitor. Look what he did to me! The rats take out the garbage for me. Shall they show you?"

 

[Dalamar]

Drax looks at the man in faked shock.
"Who did that to you? Such must've been an evil man."

 

[Wicht]

"The Lord Wicht sent the rat and Kalath took out the garbage. Always a rat. Are you a rat?"

The zombie rats start advancing threateningly against Drax.

 

[Dalamar]

"No, I am not a rat. I'm a man, like you are."
Drax stays put, but rests his hands to the hilts of his swords.

 

[Wicht]

"I am not a man, I am a rat. I take out the garbage. Like a rat. Only rats come down here!"

The four rats move a step closer.

 

[Dalamar]

"I believe you. Who is this Kalath you spoke of? I don't think I've heard of him or her."
As he speaks, Drax starts going through his memories. Wasn't Kalath the name of one of his companions on his first mission? The arrogant one.

 

[Wicht]

"Kalath was a rat!" hissed the man.

The four zombie rats attack.

"Was, you say... what happened?

 

[Wicht]

Drax takes 3 hits from 3 rats, though he does manage to strike out at one of them.

"A rat working for Wicht," hisses the man, seemingly to himself, "All us rats work for Wicht. We take out the garbage."
