Bones stared after Xune for a while before following her down the passageway, hand clasped firmly around the hilt of his sword.

[b]"Fucking necromancers,"[/b] he muttered while shaking his head. Now that he knew the drider's goals, he wondered if it would not be better to abandon her to this mad quest.

[i]I could stop her right now,[/i] Bones thought to himself as he slowly switched his hand to the hilt of his dagger. [i]Stop her right now before she fucks up and brings disaster upon the world.[/i]

But then again, what if it worked? It was a maddening thing to consider. That an army of noble heroes could not conquer the pyramid, but this singularly arrogant drider might? And from what Bones had seen, she was certainly powerful. The only question was if she was powerful enough.

[i]Worth seeing at least,[/i] he thought as he removed his hand from his dagger.

Upon reaching the end of the passageway, the chamber ahead stirred with necromantic activity and Bones immediately placed himself between Xune and the golem taking form before them. Drawing his sword, he prepared to face this new foe... that continued to grow. And grow. And [i]grow.[/i] When its true size finally became apparent, it wasted no time at all in attacking the party.

"You bunch help him keep it distracted," Xune ordered her minions as she skittered away while raising barriers on them all.

[b]"I have a better idea,"[/b] Bones said as he backed up, turned around and sprinted for the passage where they came from before the golem's massive arm came swinging after them. [b]"RUN THE FUCK AWAY!"[/b]
