About half way through being smashed through another hallway I felt like maybe just maybe I underestimated Randal. Sure I thought he was a balding asshole who sent me to die so he could get something in exchange, but I had no idea he had some kind of freakish super human strength and ability to shrug off what little magic I had left (I couldn't concentrate long enough to use necromancy/had no power left to tap into). Why Randal decided to trash his own house by throwing me around it? I dunno when you're mad you just smash things, me I tend to break glasses, I guess Randal liked to smash his house, must have been awful on the property value.
"Why couldn't you just die?" It seemed like a silly question when he was actively trying to kill me and doing a bad job of it. Me I was pretty badly beat up to answer the question. Randal himself had mutated like his butler, just twisted extended flesh and raw rage. I figure this was the result of the death of the temple creature, whatever had kept these people contained had been unleashed and that power was tearing them apart. I was about to try and issue a witty joke in the midst of being battered through some stairs when I heard a car horn. I turned to the front of the house to see my stolen car smash through it with Alisa behind the wheel. She drove up the foyer and smashed into the twisted monster that was Randal.
"Sorry I was late I got lost coming back." Alisa hopped out of the car and offered me a hand, I mumbled something about better late than never and almost got to my feet before Randal threw the car off of himself. Like literally hurled it out of the house. Alisa turned around with her shotgun ready and opened fire, Randal just shrugged off the shots and threw her up stairs.
"You think either of you two can destroy me? ME?!" Randal clearly was power tripping. But you know what they say "Pride usually comes before Trezlan kills you." Ok that's what I say, but you know it works! Randal stomped over to me and I held up the hand of the fire god, it was still empty mind you, but I thought maybe it would give him pause.
"Stay Randal or I'll burn you to bits." He looked at me with a bemused expression on his mangled face.
"One empty pistol? What do you possibly think you can do with that?" Alisa tossed me a bullet from up above and without questioning I loaded it in (its a god weapon, normal bullets are more of a regent than a requirement) and fired once, the bullet caught randal right in the jaw and incinerated him.
"I'm going to burn you with it!"
"Who are you talking to?"
"The universe in general." I swear Alisa has no concept of the perfect quip! Not that that one was particularly good, but you have to give me a break I was hurt and not thinking clearly. So did we get away with murder? Well yes, yes we did, but thats next entry!
