"Well Trezlan it's been unpleasant knowing you and since we are about to die as I always figured I would and hoped that you would, I want you to know there is a place bad people go, and I'm sure absolutely sure it will be not nearly enough for all the horrible things you've done in life."
"Oh that's sweet Val."
"What? What part of what I just said was sweet?" I could see a tentacle large and spikey rising from the water about to splatter me into Trezlan meat paste, it was about to be extremely unpleasant.
"That you think when I die I won't simply take over what horrific afterlife is waiting for me, or that they'll simply kick me out." The tentacle reached crushing speed and then suddenly stopped and shuddered. An ear splitting noise filled the room and made my teeth rattle (that was actual, my teeth rattled). The air felt heavy all of a sudden and then it cleared up immeadiately a burst of light erupted from the water, the creature bloated corpse floated up shortly there after. To describe what it looked like would be to invoke madness. Guthlu swam up after it coated in black guts.
"What did you do?" I was generally curious, I mean he was mostly unarmed, and short.
"Swam up its asshole stabbed it in the heart."
"Seriously?"
"Yes everything's got an asshole Trezlan, though most of them of course you can't swim up I'll give you that."
"He's got a point Trezlan."
"Several of them actually, I hid them in gloves because people tend to take your weapons but stripping armor is a lot harder!" He showed the shiney metal bits coated in the blood of the creature he had slain. The smell hit at that point, a corpse rot several centuries in the making I'm sure. Boyle also appeared out of his hiding to screech at us, Guthlu moved forward but I stopped him and grabbed Boyle's balding head.
"I was puzzled for a bit about the rune on your head Mr. Boyle, at first I thought it anti magical, but I was wrong it was instead a mark of slavery, and I release you from its power." The necromancy fixed my ribs painfully, but it was a lot easier than walking around with busted ribs, it also showed me a way out of our legal problems with the Guard, sort of. I mean in reality the legal problems were entirely orchestrated by this creature to kill me and possibly Valrym (he mainly wanted to kill me), but still there was an obvious solution to them and I welcomed it.
"You're a horrible person Trezlan."
"I dunno Val Boyle was a piece of shit having his life stripped from is a fitting punishment." At least Guthlu could appreciate what I do to keep living.
"Do not encourage him brother."
"Lets leave idiots, that stench is going to be with me for days as well as Boyle's crappy mind." Boyle as big of an idiot as he was, had done some pretty horrific things to get where he was and I did not relish the memories. Nor did I enjoy ancient evil stench, no matter how well deserved it was that the creature had been destroyed. And so we left sort of fast, well I say sort of because... blah blah blah next entry!
