Chapter 1: Friends in Need

Still not willing to get within striking distance of the demented necromancer, Aazim instead decides to quickly examine his surroundings. With bodies and debris scattered about, surely there's something that can help them? Maybe one of those cocoons actually has a living being inside, someone who can join the fight!

Ready to chop the damned arms off of the ruinous mage, Lauretta prepared to swing. Before she could follow through, the spell was cast. Sinister power emanated from the wave of undead gore as it struck her like a tidal wave. Instead of a scream, the only remaining wind left in her lungs escaped with a pathetic wheeze.

Her body writhed, trying desperately to break free before she could even catch her breath. The disgust for the spiders was entirely unmatched by this. By luck or fate, her arm came free from the grasp of a severed hand. She ripped herself loose, but only to look up and find herself at the mercy of whatever Pyram was about to unleash.

Amidst the terror of being overrun by numerous insects, Tzal pointed his staff and gathered enough water to send another jellyfish towards Pyram determined to bring him down.
