[color=fff200]“Indeed! And that's why all the laurels will fall on you three, the capable members of this group.”[/color] Marcelin told [b]Clarisse[/b], walking down the staircase with the same type of levity he had shown when arriving at the entrance of the dungeon. As he stepped down, his eyes darted towards the torches aligned to the walls, catching the enchantment present in them and filing that information for posterity.

And under the torii gate, the bard brought one hand to his forehead, shielding his emerald eyes from an inexistent sun as he gazed yonder. [color=fff200]“Hah! The undead, what a classic!”[/color] He turned to the others, voice lowering. [color=fff200]“Corpses brought back to mindless servitude by foul, sacrilegious, and forbidden necromantic magic!”[/color] His eyes glinted with something unknown. [color=fff200]“To take on the unnatural forces, ghouls whose bites can render one paralyzed, zombies seeking to tear flesh from bone and satisfy their unending hunger!”[/color]

He looked over his shoulder, gaze locked on where they had come from. [color=fff200]“And those torches bearing enchantments? Could be a sign of a powerful necromancer. Perhaps even a lich tied to Hazz Al’ Ghul himself, if the gods are generous enough to provide a proper villain.”[/color] Marcelin’s lips purse together as his gaze locks ahead, one hand almost unconsciously reaching for and producing his quill. And, from where he stood, he began.

[color=fff200]“Gaze and wonder, pale and slight,
At the shambling forces of the night.
They rise by theft, they stand by spite,
Borrowed bones and borrowed might,
Still doomed to fall before the light.!”[/color] [1/2]

Marcelin’s voice was booming and lyrical, every sentence interlocking with one another as the magic washed over the skeletons, weakening their might, dulling their minds, and blurring their precision.
