A woman garbed in the nicest silks that money can buy walks down the road. She has fiery red eyes and golden skin and eyes that seem to emit an aura of head and light in the dreadful place. Strangely enough though she wears an ordinary belt around her waist. The woman is Almalexia, known as the Lady of Mercy by some. She walks with purpose, trying to catch up to one of her companions. In a past life, she would be more cautious and inquisitive whilst walking down these roads, but the mantle thrust upon her had taken more on her then her wizard friend.

[spoiler]Chain 6[/spoiler] The undead enter the chamber and spread out! The combined gunfire brings one down, but two charge Mikhail and sink their blades into his chest and he falls limp. (One got a Nat 20 so...rip) The spear men bring another down as it charges and the Witch sends to Eldritch Blasts towards the Wight in the back! Another pair of undead rush you! The vampire slashes one, leaving a large gash across its chest!
-
The first falls and the second takes a nasty hit, then swings at you twice! (20 for 8 Slashing and 8 Necrotic. 16 for 10s and 5n) The vampire watches you "steal his kill" then charges the Wight as it enters. He swings twice and the Wight deflects then stabs him in the gut! The two undead that killed Mikhail trade one for one with the spearmen, the woman youd healed surviving. Another two undead rush the gunner near the Witch and together they slay another undead.
-
You finish off the one before you and rush the Wight! Together with the vampire you make short work of him, with the vampire getting a nat 20 to finish it with a decapitation! The two near the Witch have slain the other warrior and are preparing to attack her when the woman with the spear lunges to take one down and the witch blasts the other. And then the cavern falls silent, with no other undead emerging from the tunnel...

“Interesting. I’m just trying to get through this mine as a shortcut to a mansion I’m trying to get here. Know of any big houses nearby? But perhaps I could stick with your group for now, see where it leads and where the witch queens power lies. It’s not like you have that much of a choice anyways.”

"Yeah, that cursed old place would be the one with all the secrets our leaders are so damned interested in. Two of the hags and our war chief went in there months ago and never came out, so if you think you can-" You hear footsteps approaching from the ruins, and a voice shouts out, "You useless bloodsacks!"
-
*I turn around so my back isn’t facing the ruins where the voice is coming from.* “Ahh, we have company! I was just explaining to my friend here, Mikhail I think it was, that we have common end goals in mind and might be better off working together, or at least he would be.”

Another of the masked warriors emerges through the door aiming his rifle at you, runes upon the frame glowing with violet magic. Then, a very large man ducks into the chamber. Black hair and beard both long and braided, his skin nearly as pale as the Wights with red eyes that burn like embers in the dark. He lifts a double headed axe to rest on his shoulders and smiles at you, revealing long fangs. As the other guard wakes up and looks around, the vampire grabs him by the throat, snaps his neck with a flick of his wrist, and tosses the body towards you. "Go ahead," the vampire laughs, "kill the weakling!"
-
"And what do you... 'bring to the table' I believe is the expression?" the vampire asks. Mikhail whispers, "These Draug vampires are real arses...let me go and I'll help you kill them..." There is also a ruckus down the tunnel to your left...
-
“Well I have plenty to offer to your table. Information to where your going, and skills of my own. You see I got past many undead myself to get here and I’m rather good at killing them. “ *My golden eyes twinkle with celestial light.* “Plus, no offense, but your not the prettiest of lads as far as big burly men with axes go, you could use someone who can talk a way out of a situation like this one.”

The vampire is about to speak when a voice interrupts him from behind, "What do you know of Dwarven mechanisms?" An Elven woman steps through the breach, draped in a fur cloak with the hood around her shoulders to reveal long ears behind her black braids. She is also pale but not unnaturally so like the vampire, with dark tattoos swirling up her neck to frame her violet eyes. She glares at the body of the warrior before you and Mikhail points to the vampire, then she bops him on the back.of the head with her white wood staff.
