[color=chocolate]"The Everdark is my home now and I have no intention of leaving it as a ruin...but my metaphorical heart is utterly engulfed with the fires of vengeance and nothing short of seeing them being eaten alive by my insects would abate the flames. So, why won't we kill two birds with one stone?"[/color] The infested skeleton then gestures to the general area of the dungeon. [color=chocolate]"If we pursued them now, at our current state, we would nary accomplish anything than to add to the dead. And without a proper home and community like we had before, the next group of those bastard adventurers can easily destroy us even before we could even get anywhere near strong enough to take our vengeance."[/color] The skeleton then holds up a finger to punctuate his suggestion. [color=chocolate]"Therefore I propose that we rebuild the Everdark, better than what it was before, and in the process get stronger and stronger as we nurture this gestating nation of monsters. Fending it from threats within and without and when the time comes, and it [u][b]will[/b][/u] come, we march our armies to the surface and repay them in kind."[/color] Mortimer pauses as he revels of what carnage they will wreak upon the surface. [color=chocolate]"So...what say you my new friends?"[/color]
