Shade of the Undead's page

"Mister Rexach, are you ready to kill in my name... An intruder will arrive soon."

The Black Spirit whispers directly into the mind of the warrior

well got bored and decided to add fluff since we're waiting on your characters to get to that point

makes his rounds through the army, a critical eye towards every detail. The intelligent undead occupy the majority of his time, as they are at least interesting, and possibly more useful during the complex tides of battle, and what's left of his soul still cherishes the conversation... even if he's loathe to admit it, if not unable to.

yeah sorry about that.

The vampires are especially intelligent and eager to butter up the commanding officer...

The ghasts are primitive and hungry, quite simplistic.

Banshees are wistful and tired

Ect....

Over a month had passed close, apparently, was a relative term

"Good... these now must be enhanced... I will begin preparations... for now you and Tyrellius should get to know your army...."

"I'm not some brutish fool stumbling into the school by knocking out a wall. I'll get you the defense layout and the medical records, do not worry."

"You have your orders. Go." There is no doubt this is acommand.

"An interesting feeling.. It will surely help that I'm not a rotting buffoon stumbling in to the school." He adds, checking his clothes for marks from the flame. "When shall I go? I already have a decent cover story, made all the better since it's true."

"Do not let the Headmaster detect you.... or you will be burned in a much more permanent manner... much like you must also avoid a woman in purple... she can destroy you with ease."

I'm looking for more of what to do to get this going faster since it's two of us and we all are apparently paying attention fairly well during some times anyhow...

Okay, sorry L, but as much fun as that would be.... I cannot just set you guys loose with your army yet...

This campaign relies on another campaign advancing in story, and much as it bores me to wait... I still have to...

Sorry

"I'll see what I can do. Do you have anything to hide me from a Seer's sight? Such magic is beyond my own various abilities."

"There is not something that can hide you. But I can partially obscure his gaze.... unless he lays eyes upon you or you draw unnecessary attention and he actively searched for you.... you shall be a hole in the world; unseeable and nonexistent... though I would also avoid felines... they can see the third aura, and that would be unfortunate"

His hand flicks foreward, flinging a ball of purple flames into your chest.... burning, consuming, renewing your necromantic energy

"Employer." He corrects smoothly.

"Your employer... has a job for you... infiltration of the school... schematics of the school, the student roster and medical records."

Come join me Faust, we have work to do for our master.

"Faust has another mission." The black spirit's whisper is like the touch of a black ice, slippery and deadly

"Not normal stone walls, perhaps, but I've heard of this... school. We'll need a truly titanic amount of the most powerful undead to hold our own."

And that....is what I'm gathering, Faust." The voice 's confidant lilt inspires even you

"Common herd beasts? Useful fodder and transport, I guess."

"Stone walls cannot withstand waves of unfeeling, unthinking, strengthened beasts..."

I'll lead the attack at once if you permit it!

Not yet.... you must first gather more troops for our attack" the sinuous voice entralls your mind....

"There is a herd of aurochs near us... take one of the Leapers...and infect them..."

a leaper is a fast zombie with a 30 ft leap attack (2 1d6 slams and a 1d4 bite)

"Respect enough to cover their nose before gagging, maybe."

The spirit's chuckle is like broken glass and screaming heard from far away....

"The Dragon Golem will be a powerful ally... I had it crafted from the bodies of very powerful dragons, ones capable of striking terror into the hearts of the most powerful defenders..."

Then a shadowy black claw slips up through the floor and strokes a patch of deep purple scales...

"And grow used to the scent... the graverobbers contain over 100 ghouls and twenty ghasts"

"He can have the sky brigade...

You will take the graverobbers, the titans and the dwellers."

statistics and number write up sometime this weekend

His tone tells you he isn't asking

First, you must take control of your armies...." the spirit whispers...

Yes it does, who shall be chosen first to have the honor of destroying those children?

The order in which the children are destroyed makes no difference... all that matters is that the soul of the one I seek is obtained..."

The cavern where the undead reside smells of death and decay...

The command tent has a large round stone table with the various undead leaders...

"The time draws near...." a susurrus of dark whispering comes forth from nowhere
