Turn 13
Um- well then. Err... I guess I'll do some exploration, then. - the dark spirit said with a metallic voice.
Smoke says there is a demon here. Someone wake up the gardener and ask him what happened, but be careful, he might be a demon. I will try to find the source of this power. - demonologist stated, then asked:
Aaron, I am going to explore this keep. Do you want to come with me? - and added:
We might find a demon and I will need help if we want to pacify or slay it. Arron nodded, and after a while inquisitor said:
I'm going to take this opertunity to recover. I believe it would be best for the injured among us to do so as well.
[2] Pguhyuh, Aaron and Jacob decided to enter the keep and find source of arcane energies. As soon as they proceeded through entry to a large hall, the trace weakened. There were several tables and benches, with crockery still left on some of them, and a few corpses lying on the ground. This was a meeting and dining hall for soldiers. There was a big, arched gate at the far end of the room, however it was inaccessible. A large chunk of debris as well as some broken pillars were blocking the way. And there was a smaller gate closer to them, probably leading towards kitchen and granary. Aaron tried to get to the other side of blocked gate and scout, but some strange force stopped this from happening. The hall opened to the left and right, leading to it's respective wings.
[1] In search of loot, Jacob strayed away from his companions and mistakenly kicked one of the corpses! Undead soldier clumsily got up after a long, dead sleep and shrieked loudly. Several bone spikes protruded out of it's chest, legs and back, and bone blades went out of it's arms, tearing through the chainmail it wore!
[2] When demonologist, wanderer-dark spirit and the other peasant left, Dennis decided to rest for a short while, taking a seat on one of benches beside the fountain. He felt somewhat uneasy, especially in this eerily calm place, and staying alert made him rest much slower!
[6] Reynald and Jeremiah went to wake up the gardener.
Wake up my friend. It is not safe here. - exorcist said, gently shaking the old man by his arm. He immediately woke up and yawned, then said:
Ah, visitors! You're here to seek protection of my good lady eh? Good thing that you haven't entered the keep first. Blasted duke that called this place home many, many years before it turned into a borderland garrison have risen up recently, and took over throne room once again! If not for my good lady, his undead pawns would have killed me long ago! She says that he ordered the throne room to be blocked! - and after catching some breath, he said:
I'm Jonathan by the way. Pleased to meet you![6] Inquisitor excused Jeremiah and Jonathan and joined Dennis on the bench, trying to rest. That whole story about long dead duke rising up came into his mind time after time, strange thoughts bothering him enough to fall asleep and dream about it!
In his dream, the blocked path towards the throne room opened to him as he approached it, and the undead duke invited the inquisitor to himself. The duke called him by his name, then gave him a mighty greatsword. You will be my faithful knight! A general! With your help, we'll reclaim the lands lost to enemies both dead and alive, starting a powerful fire that'd lead to an undead empire! - corpse in a full plate mail with a crown on it's head said as darkness overwhelmed inquisitor. His skin slowly rotted away and blood poured out of all his orifices. In a blink of an eye, he turned into a soulless thrall, serving the long dead duke. - Reynald woke up from this disturbing nightmare with a scream, freaking Dennis out. Inquisitor knew that it was a trickery of undead or dark spirit alike, but this was enough to make a slight fracture in his armor of faith.
[6] When Reynald was sleeping, Jeremiah tried to explain the whole situation to old gardener, but the man fallen asleep shortly after he began talking!
