Well, at least these skeletons weren’t too tough to take out; but then again, if he hadn’t managed to hit it in the head like he did then his attack probably wouldn’t have been nearly as effective. Undead were nothing if not robust after all; they didn’t bleed or feel pain, so anything short of destroying them enough to make them unable to function or maybe breaking whatever enchantment let them continue to move around wouldn’t stop them.

This one was easily dealt with but if this was the kind of thing that was going to start spawning inside the cave then he was right to want to leave.

Lowering himself back to the ground Oberon turned to the Dire Rat who had been fighting the skeleton and called out to them. They didn’t seem too hurt and his shield was still in place so they were probably fine; his main priority now was just to find Digbie and Rain and leave. “Hey, have you seen a Goblin around here? He’s probably digging. And Rain; do you know a Lizard called Rain?”

Before he could get an answer the Slime with the conical protrusion suddenly arrived with some others; he heard, or at least experienced the Slimes voice in his head before seeing him, startling the Sprite. It seemed the animosity between him and Mourningstar went both ways and Oberon kept his mouth shut in that regard; he’d definitely want to question Mourningstar later to find out exactly what happened, but for now it wasn’t the most pressing issue.

The Slime approached the now destroyed skeleton and began chanting some kind of funeral rites; Oberon stepped back to give the Slime some room, taking the opportunity to analyse him with his newly acquired Monster Analysis. He them turned his examination on the Dire Rat and the others who had arrived with the Slime; he’d already examined a few of these creatures with his Magic Analysis but he expected to get more information from a skill more suited to the task.

Suddenly the Slime ended the funeral rites with a spell of some kind, a series of runes and sigils appearing on the ground around the skeleton. As the unusually blunted rock spire appeared out of the ground Oberon used his Magic Analysis on the rite.

Once finished with whatever it was he had just done the Slime began giving instructions, asking people to retreat to a cave and rest; it was tempting to take him up on the offer, to get some rest and leave later, but with Mourningstar and the others waiting for him and potentially coming back for him if he took too long, he couldn’t afford to take the extra time.

[color=f49ac2]“I’m leaving. Something big is happening in this cave and we don’t know how bad it’s going to get; I’d rather take my chances outside than deal with all these undead that are appearing. Some people have already left, they should be waiting outside soon; I’m leaving as soon as I find Digbie and Rain, anyone else who wants to come with me is welcome to.”[/color]
