<Snipped quote by System>

*They find contact with the metal plating of my armor as I leap upward, sending a small shockwave pulse out from where my feet kick off the ground*
It pays to not get too cocky after all…

@Valiance

*Slashes through the tendons of the set near myself*
Who ever heard of the dead being fast?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by System>

*Looks to Faering*
Don’t let me hold you. All yours if you want it.

@Valiance

It's a good opportunity to test the mind dragon's mist.
*The red smoke fills the chamber, and each pair of zombies perceives another on the other side to be the two of us, and they claw at each other's throats*
I told you bone would be the easiest.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

A man you’re looking for lays a trap for you…
*Brushes past you and into the dome*
You’ve found ‘em.

@Valiance

*Tilts my head slightly in each direction and then lifts my eyebrows in acceptance of the reasoning*
I can't argue with that.
*As soon as we step inside, the outer wall of the dome closes behind us and the corpses start to stir and eventually shamble to their feet*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Well, you know what they say.

@Valiance

I... don't, actually. What do they say?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

All clear?

@Valiance

It's an obvious trap, inside and out. And the dragon isn't inside.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Lifts on of my metallic boots out of the mud and looks at the heel*
… I needed to clean them anyway.

@Valiance

Eugh.
*Pokes my head inside the bony dome, which contains a veritable wall of corpses lining the inner wall and a bonfire in the center*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I was thinking quicksand. Where’d your mind go?

@Valiance

Rich soil that's too fresh, if you know what I'm getting at.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Think this is mor than just muck?

@Valiance

I don't like what it implies... or the smell.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Their only interest in what we’re doing is making sure I don’t die doing it. You can put those worries to rest, at least.
*Walks alongside you, but just behind so that you still lead the way*

@Valiance

*Our feet start to trudge in the muddy, loamy soil leading toward a cave carved into the mound*
I'm starting to think we should give this the same treatment as the mountain.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

Years of surviving together. We all have that in common, that we struggled through the aftermath of cataclysm and came out stronger.

@Valiance

I said it before, but if you're sure you trust them, I'll put up with it. Just know that if they double-cross us and start digging up these dragons before us, they could ruin everything.
*Starts walking toward the massive mount of bones*
