A flash of light beams from the foggy sky as night falls, and a mysterious figure jumps down from a helicopter with a rope harness.
Later, the witnesses find that the figure is a semi-famous assassin being called to the cemetery from a foreign country because of the large amount of strange reports. This assassin, is me.
Although being from Germany, I understand english very well because my leader of the gang is multilingual.

[i]The cops wave you in past the gates as you arrive.[/i]
-
I stride into the cemetery with dual pistols stowed on my hips.
-
[i]Inside, you find the cemetery is home to the normal occupants. Headstones, tombs and flower decorations surround you. You notice a set of footprints leading towards a cluster of trees in a corner of the cemetery.[/i]
-
The cemetery was closed to the public, so I knew something was there.
-
I slowly and carefully walk towards the trees with my pistols drawn.
-
[i]The footprints lead you to a grave that has been dug up, now revealing a hole over a hundred feet deep. Torchlight flickers at the bottom, and a rope tied around one of the trees hangs down into the hole, reaching the bottom.[/i]
-
I gaze upon the hole, turn around, and survey the scene. I then get very curious and I slowly descend the rope down into the unearthed grave.
-
[i]The area seems eerily quiet, although that may be due to being in a graveyard. As you reach for the rope you hear scuffling from a grave behind you, and a skeletal hands begin to unearth itself.[/i]
-
I ready my pistols, and wait for the time until they rise completely from the grave. I walk away from them as I shoot and they draw closer, but I trip on a large root below a large tree.

Edited by cinqueMento: 6/22/2022 12:15:36 AM[i]The skeletal mage isn't that tough, and your bullets strike true, shattering some ribs. The undead still fights on, and hurls a blob of acid at you![/i]
-
I pick myself up, run deeper into the woods and search for immediate cover behind a large stone. I pull out a med kit from my backpack at once and wrap up my burn wounds while they are searching for me.
-
[i]The acid stings, but you're able to patch up alright. You hear the skeleton slowly trudging after you, dragging its feet through the grass.[/i]
-
I look forward and immediately see one red, glowing eye in front of me. I was trapped for good. I did not know what the beast in front of me was, but all I could see was it's black cloak and it's eye that looked like a laser. Unexpectedly, it falls to ash in the fog and i sprint towards its remains and find a weird glowing amulet with a turquoise skull carved into it and the frame was glowing red.

[spoiler]Wha[/spoiler]
-
It gently vibrated in my hand and as I look behind me, the gang of skeletons catches up to me before I could think of a plan. I quickly put on the amulet without thinking, and it glowed brighter than it looked before I put it on. I soon gain enough strength to run back and keep fighting.
-
Damn that's craaazy
-
But very long story short, I was able to keep up with the skeletons enough for a helicopter full of my other crew mates who were assigned to the graveyard to show up. About the amulet, apparently it was a very rare sacred artifact that was known to make the rightful owner much much stronger than before with a laser that was able to disintegrate anything in its path. Unfortunately I wasn't the owner, but got paid a large fortune by the government so they could keep it under strict protection.

That's nuts dude

[spoiler]Yeah I thought it sorta fit with the theme so I went with it.[/spoiler]
