Oftentimes, a stern, all-business set to the jaw could fix one's resolve solidly. At this moment, Keystone was hoping it would merely prevent him from soiling himself. Making a mental note to check his undergarments after the emergency was finished, he pulled his hands from his pockets, metal gleaming dully on his phalanges. Setting a leg back and bending into a front-facing fighter's stance, he braced for impact. The impact never came. Arcane blasts destroyed the charging undead juggernaut before it got to him. Part of him was saddened by this; he was hoping to give him a warrior's death. Or undeath. Redeath, possibly. He wasn't positive what the term was for putting down a sentient walking magical corpse, but it still seemed a poor way to go. Again. All Hells, he was sure Glith deserved it. Let's face it, hundreds lost their lives (that he was aware of), their mangled bodies given animation to take more lives. Although slightly conflicted a half-second later, he had quite gotten over it. The next immediate threat caught his attention. Keystone had no intention of becoming dead guy food. At the same time, two very compelling reasons kept him in the fray: First, Glith's sword laying cool and unattended on the ground. Loyalty (though not unquestioned loyalty) still with Kaylee's plight, he needed to recover her prison. To let it fall back into undead hands, or possibly the Red Wizards, was not an eventuality that would go unchallenged. Second, Erepar. Keystone was part of the group originally sent to kill him and recover his shiny magical curiosities. Looking at present events and the actions which led up to them, all starting from that night, the obvious importance of those curiosities was vastly underdescribed. He seemed a decent fellow, as wizards went. Even tried to warn him. He could at least put Erepar's body to rest. Keystone charged as best he could, straight at he sword by way of Erepar's shambling remains. Prior to slamming into gruesome melee with the walking worm buffet, an odd thought crossed his mind, "[i]Huh, I guess Erepar finally made it into town after all.[/i]"
