Does Jenna wake up before anyone else comes?
A male fighter and wizard arrive before your captive wakes
You are unsure on how long she will be **** but are determined to use the time effectively so that your two harmless armless brethren should not languish under the soil. At first you thought it might be better if they could be left in peace to rest under the soil but upon reflection you empathise with their predicament of not being able to influence their surroundings. You wonder if they think much the same as you do, do they have similar feelings or are you unique? It's impossible to know as you have no means to communicate with them nor them with you. Suddenly aware that you may be disturbing your fellow undead more than any heroes you reluctantly summon another skeleton and command it to dig the other two up with its hands and soon Jenna's **** form is guarded by four skeletons, one in each corner of the room. There is one basic skeleton, two armless ones and the fourth armed with the golden bow in the darkest corner.
You consider killing Jenna in her sleep but are unsure of whether you would still be able to cast spells. You could get one of the skeletons to hold you and maybe you would be able to still cast spells. Maybe you as a skeletal staff could create a kingdom of undead, united under your rule but the practical problem is still that you can only command one at a time and have a thirty second cool down period. You consider your next move but having been undead for an age you are fully aware of how to be patient. The patience of undeath is eternal and everyone including heroes would join you in **** or undeath eventually.
Your musings are interrupted by the sound of approaching footsteps, you watch as a male fighter clad in leather armour and a male wizard enter the room. The wizard spots you being held in Jennas hands and greedily steps forward to retrieve and at the same momemt you command the golden bow skeleton to shoot him his companion spots the skeletons and shouts a warning but it's too late for the magic wielder. An arrow fires into his back and he stumbles forward with a large chunk taken from his hit points, he turns to his assailant and raises his shield to protect himself. Considering the fighter to be the greater threat you concentrate your attacks on him and command the basic skeleton to attack him as well while the two armless skeletons distract the weakened mage.
The mage casts a fire ball at the golden bow skeleton and it is engulfed in flames as it shoots another arrow at the fighter who catches it on his shield. The fighter closes the distance and exchanges blows with the golden bow skeleton, you decide to cast fear and are delighted to find its an area of effect spell. The mage stands dumbstruck as he is overcome with fear and stunned, the fighter becomes panicked and his attacks become more hurried lacking accuracy and power. Caught between two skeletons and overcome by fear the fighter is quickly dispatched, you hear a ding and your viewpoint changes. Suddenly you are standing above the prone form of Jenna with the male mage cowering in front of you. You find in your hands a sword and shield. You stride up to the mage and say "I need your clothes, your boots and your motorbike" but all the mage hears is you clacking your teeth at him. Frustrated at your continued inability to communicate you quickly dispatch him with your sword and are mildly disappointed when both heroes bodies disappear before you can loot them. The irony of an undead skeleton wanting to loot the dead is not lost on you. Confused that your body has been restored you check your stats.

You are impressed, the restoration of your HP when you levelled up seems to have restored your body as well. The game seems to be confused about whether you are a monster or an item. As an item you have no weaknesses so don't have to worry about clerics as much. An extra MP, that could come in very handy.
Your attention turns to Jenna, what to do with her?
How to solve a problem like Jenna?

Game Monster
From Creep to Boss
You come into being as a low-level monster, the kind heroes chew through like popcorn. You know the drill, whether you're a player yourself or an artificial intelligence, and you're sick of it. You set out on your own quest: to defeat the heroes at any cost (or at least be an epic boss somewhere down the line).
