Chapter 13 by v9 v9

A cunning plan is urgently needed!

A fine line between being cunning and lucky.

You follow the tunnel and soon catch up with three of your skeletons just outside of the range of the clerics turn undead ability and place them once again under your control. You only have a minute to set things up and explain your plan to Lynn and Jack. You command the skeletons to wait further up the tunnel. Worrying that the heroes had spotted your two hooded forms amongst the skeletons you remove the robe and scarf you were wearing, Lynn quickly removes her tattered robe which reveals her to be wearing peasant clothes underneath. The clothes are very basic and hang loosely which slightly distorts the shape of her body but from what you can see she has an athletic build with nice sized perky breasts.

At your command Jack starts barking to draw the heroes towards you, using his superior dog sense of smell he locates the heroes and runs towards them trying to look as cute and harmless as possible. You hear one of the heroes say "what's that Lassie, you want us to follow you?" "You want a bone Lassie?" asks another. You begin to bang your sword off of your armour to simulate the sounds of battle. When the heroes arrive they see you and Lynn locked in a ferocious battle but before they reach you they see Lynn strike you and you drop to the ground defeated. "Quick, the others went this way" Lynn shouts and then turns and leads the party away from you. As they run past you see that there appears to be four of them, a female wizard and three males, a Dwarven fighter, an Elvish fighter and a human rogue, one more than you anticipated but there's no sign a female cleric so you guess that she must have stayed behind as commanded. You're now behind the warriors but this is going to be tough.

Jack continues to bark as he mingles with the party of heroes hiding the sound of the rattle of your armour as you approach from behind them. When you catch up with them the two fighters have engaged the three skeletons you had waiting in ambush. Lynn and Jack are just behind them with the mage and rogue who is armed with bow and arrows at the rear. Using your element of surprise you step behind the mage and smash her head against the wall with your shield knocking her out. The rogue turns but is pushed from behind by Lynn, the rogue turns back to confront her but before he can complain you strike him, it's not enough to kill him outright, he deflects your next swing with his bow and then drops it before drawing a sword and dagger. You take another swing which he deflects with his own sword, he steps forward and stabs with the dagger, the dagger is specifically designed to punch through armour and slides between your bones causing 4HP of damage but you trap his arm between your shield and ribs. He tries to pull back and realises he's trapped, you headbutt him causing him to let go of his dagger and stumble backwards.

Using your innate abilities you summon two skeletons and cast Fear with your remaining MP which causes the rogue to hesitate for a moment as he recovers, exploiting his hesitation you strike him twice bringing his health into the red. He uses a special ability and uses his sword to sweep you off your feet knocking you over then he starts to run past you back down the tunnel but a fireball hits him in the back as he flees killing him. You feel the rush of EXP to you and Lynn who had cast the fireball.

You turn around to assess the situation. The Elvish fighter and four skeletons are down, the remaining Dwarven fighter has nearly dispatched the final skeleton. The fighter is squat and muscular with the typical beard of the Dwarves, he wears chainmail and wields a two-handed warhammer, he doesn't seem afraid which would imply he's immune to your Fear spell so must be a couple levels above you. You summon another three skeletons but doubt it will do much good as he seems to be too high a level for them to deal with.

Unsure of how strong this guy is and what to do next you watch as he spins like a whirlwind and his warhammer smashes the last skeleton to pieces.

You tell Lynn to hit you and you throw yourself to the floor playing dead again, the fighter laughs "Seriously you dumbass motherfuckers expect me to fall for that again!" Lynn steps back putting you between her and the Dwarf, you're annoyed at the collar seeming to malfunction as she should die before allowing anything to happen to you. The fighter moves quickly towards you and stands before you raising his warhammer to dispatch you as you lie prone before him. Before he can strike Lynn casts a fireball into his face causing him to cry out in pain as his beard catches fire. Having been largely forgotten by everyone until now Jack uses this opportunity to dart forward and crashes into the Dwarf's back, he crashes forward as you raise your sword. You drive the sword up into his stomach as he falls onto it, the sword pierces his armour and his own body weight ensures that he is impaled on it. He tries to hit you with his warhammer but you're inside its reach, he reaches out and tries to strangle you but how can a skeleton be strangled.

"When you respawn, tell them that Skeletor is coming" you whisper into his ear as you twist the sword causing extra damage and finally killing him. You hear a ding and feel another rush of EXP as you gain a level, you notice that Lynn and Jack have both gained a level for their part in the kill.

You move back down the tunnel and find the female mage starting to wake up, you quickly gag her and bind her arms behind her back. Lynn takes a close at her "I know this bitch, she was in my class at school. Hey Sara, you're in alot of trouble now" Lynn turns to you and pleads "Please Skeletor, let me keep her."

Do you allow Lynn to keep Sara?
