Not To Blame You, But this is Your Fault

"You have to damage their head if you want to kill them." Aelanes was telling me how to kill the recently dead. Apparently inside the vault there would be more of the damn things, even though it wasn't necessarily a vault any longer.

"Well I would have tried that had I an implement that could puncture a head."

"Like say a shovel or a pick axe, too bad none of those were littered around the dig site." I frowned.

"Sarcasm is unbecoming of you Aelanes, shouldn't you be nicer to me about these kinds of things."

"Nicer to you about your inability to kill the damned? No Trezlan I'm not going to be nicer, you didn't even bring a weapon with you."

"I am a weapon!"

"Yeah and how'd that work out for you? Not well at all so perhaps you should remember to bring something. Anyway, this whole thing is sort of your fault." We arrived at the vault and the door was wide open, a horrible purple light spilled forth.

"You'll have to explain that to me, I don't know how this could be my fault since when I built this vault, it wasn't a horrible whatever the shit this thing is now." I would have remembered that even if I didn't exactly remember any of the stuff to do with the vault, I definitely would have remembered undead shorties.

"Well Morley ran across your vault, dug it up set up this trap specifically for you, if you hadn't set up the vault in the first place he wouldn't have opened this portal." I looked into the portal and could see nothing good looking back.

"That's stupid talk, you're stupid, so this portal we just collapse this and we're all set right? Tell a story about how the vault was cursed with a dick shrinking curse and we'll be all good?" Aelanes shook his head.

"No we have to go through this and resolve the creature Morley put inside, otherwise this will find a way out, in a way that's why the vault was dug up in the first place, the creature grew powerful enough to spread its influence and brought these diggers here."

"Well at least its just the one thing right?"

"Surrounded by a small army of formerly alive people Morley trapped with the creature in a universe that creature controls."

"Have I mentioned I don't like you right now Aelanes? Because I totally do not." And with that we stepped into a nightmare land of awfulness, because it never occurred to me Aelanes could be leading me to a trap that I was previously avoiding. I mean he wasn't, but he totally could have been, I mean this is a guy who once served Morley for gods sake!
