Master Of None

Walker turned after confirming everyone was prepared. "We are ready for your test." He gave a determined look and feel to the air around him.

Immortal king stood and looked at each one of them. It was excited to watch its entertainment but felt a slight tug at knowing the only ones to visit it in years would be gone. However it remembered the new experiments with the skeletal spider and became much for energetic. " if that's your choice, and here I'd had hope you would give up before you started and stay here to be my new experimental subjects." A large sighing sound reverberated through the room. Immortal king had tired of waiting and waved its hand. The party fell in to a pool of darkness in the blink of an eye.

Soon the darkness revealed a stone door. Upon it were carvings of strange twisting trees, people praying to someone in ceremonial armor, and many strange monsters. Floating orbs seemed to be highlighted in the carvings along with many symbols possessing a slight glow. This carving was much more detailed than everything else they had seen within the entire catacombs.

"This must be the door outside." Walker spoke up to break the silence. Upon looking behind him he saw a wall of darkness blocking them from retreating. They had no choice but to move forward.

"Do-ddoo you think it's still watching?" Remey whispered afraid to alert immortal king.

"Yea definitely, and it's going to watch us Until we die or escape here. Can't say I wouldn't either we're pretty awesome people." Gil tried to joke around a bit to lighten the mood. He may be a freaking out inside but he knew if he could remove even A tiny amount of stress from the group.

"Leader I'm ready." Su moved to the sorry ready to push it open.

Remey and midnight lived to Su's sides. Gil stood behind Su and Walker behind Gil. They were prepared to open the stone door. As soon as Walker stepped in to position the door began to break open.

The dim glow of the moon was the first thing to reach their eyes. The sounds of bones clattering and zombies shuffling filled their ears. As their eyes adjusted they saw a swarm of skeletons and zombies that they were uncountable. This was part of the plan however the sheer amount of undead outside the door was astounding.

Undead tore at each other to move forward desperate to get in to this new area. Walker knew what to do and prepared a deep breath. "BAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Walker used dragons intimidation releasing a massive roar. It echoed throughout the ruins causing chaos. The Undead may not be able to hear or feel the sound, but the shockwave produced still caused them to stagger.Â

Zombies fell to the ground as if they were puppets without strings. Skeletons seemed to fall apart. Undead golems halted their advances. A few other monsters the party didn't take the time to identify had also been effected. However before there was a second for the intimidated undead to recover Su and the party he began to rush forward. Metal clanging and bones crunching were sounds that battered their ears.

They pushed and broke their way through the hoard towards an ancient looking wall. Walker turned halfway through the first swarm of undead and raised his staff. "Evil consuming flames!" A white fireball flew to the undead near the closing door and walker saw it begun to grow. "Move it! I sent the flames over there let's get out of here before we are blinded by them.

This doubled their efforts while also dealing with the immediate threat of a giant swarm following them to the outskirts of the city. Up ahead there was a deformed undead golem blocking their path right before the half fallen wall. Su was the first to see this as the one pushing through and already had a way to use it to their advantage. " the golem is stunned from leaders attack! Use its arm and shoulder to hop and jump the wall!" If this was any other time and any other situation they would have told Su she was crazy. However it was still stunned so even if it started moving now it would be too slow to catch them as they used it as a step.

Su was the first to do the step up the undead golem like a ladder and jump to the unknown other side of the wall. Midnight followed in haveing the easier time using her better adapted body to clear the distance. Remey and Gil were both fairly agile and got up and over without a problem. Walker managed to get to the undead golems shoulder when it began to jerk and move its arm. It had recovered from dragons intimidation and began moving. Walker jumped from the shoulder almost falling and barely made it over the wall.

His landing was less than graceful as he tumbled a few feet before jumping up and following behind the rest again. They were still running. There wasn't an undead in sight but the area they had jumped in to were tightly packed broken buildings. Many small alleyways and crevices gave monsters perfect places to hide. As walker closed the small gap in front of him that had been left from jumping he noticed Gil kicking away small rat like creatures that skittered around from alley to alley. The terrifying part was these small rats didn't have all of their body attached. Some seemed to be missing half the flesh in their faces and others a limb or two. Walker used his skill as he ran being careful to kick these rats as far as possible when they came close.

' undead rat

Fast rotting vermin that slowly kill their prey through many bites. These undead rats are a plague above the normal rats as their bites can leave anything they bite poisoned. Exterminating them is fairly difficult as they can escape through the smallest crevice.'

"Keep them off you! Their bites are poisonous !" Walker shouted the warning as he noticed midnight using her tail to slap one in to a nearby wall. The undead rat was wobbling for a moment but then was right back to running. The little vermin were tough!
