Mystery of the Desert (Expired HQ)

[Saren Asentirus]

Saren, seeing the strike coming his way quickly stepped back, holding his hands infront of him he raised his hands into the air. A glowing green stream connected his hand with the ground. All of a sudden, from the very earth rose a wall of skulls about the height of Saren, glowing with a sickly green hue.

5 Def + [dice=6] + 6 MP

-----------------------------------------------------

Saren slid back from his wall, raising his hands, sending the remaining shards of bone and skulls at high speeds towards the Zombie.

Kan was now escorting Sthrïf off the battle zone.

Osthon's Turn
Osthon had now circled around behind the Zombie while Saren took its attention. He now struck out with his staff, sending a bolt of energy at the Zombie's back.

The bolt hit the Zombie flat in the back, sending him exploding into pieces. Osthon stamped his staff on the ground, pleased that he had made the killing blow.
"Well fought, Guildmaster."

Kan was now tending to Sthrïf's arm.

[Saren Asentirus]

Saren nodded his head to Osthon.

"A good hit. Took him down clean."

The aged Sorcerer approached the injured Sthrïf. He was somewhat confused by where the Zombie had come from. It was alone, in the middle of the desert. Usually these beasts were thralled to a Necromancer. Where was it? Had it escaped? If so how did it summon enough will to do so?

"What happened Sthrïf? Where did it come from?"

[~ Hero Nemesis ~]

The younger Sorcerer pulled himself up, leaning on his staff.
[limegreen]"The ground,"[/limegreen] he said in annoyance. [limegreen]"I reached the dune and he came up behind me. I barely had a chance to defend myself."[/limegreen] He raised his burned arm. [limegreen]"I'd say there's a good chance there's a necromancer about - a powerful necromancer."[/limegreen]
He looked away from Saren, pulling his cloak further over his arm.

Kan looked at Saren and Osthon. "I believe Sthrïf is right. But what would a necromancer be doing? There isn't any signs of a whole tribe, so he must be alone." He paused, staring into Saren's eyes. "Do you think he could also be after the Koros Säel?"

[Saren Asentirus]

"Possibly... But if he's alone that might suggest he's already found it."

Saren raised his gaze from the injured sorcerer, and panned across the desert. It was a huge landscape and they had no way of knowing where the Koros Säel actually was. The Necromancer may have to be "persuaded"

"Sthrïf. Can you walk?"

[~ Hero Nemesis ~]

[limegreen]"Aye,"[/limegreen] he replied through clenched teeth.
The four Sorcerers resumed their journey, keeping watch for signs of any other activity. Hours passed....

((ooc/ I'm not really sure what to do next. If you have any ideas, go ahead and move the quest along... ))

[Saren Asentirus]

((Hmm I'm not entirely sure myself... Maybe they can move forward further into the desert and com across some signs of a camp, from the Sorcerer Scouts or Excavation))

[~ Hero Nemesis ~]

((ooc/ Okay. ))

[limegreen]"Guildmaster!"[/limegreen] Sthrïf called. He was the first to climb to the top of the latest sand dune, and he was now pointing at something on the other side with his good arm.
As the other Sorcerers reached the top, they saw a cluster of two or three ragged tents in the distance, along with what looked like an old camp. It must've been at least 3 three weeks old - probably more...
