Chapter 8 by v9 v9

Does Jenna wake up before anyone else comes?

No, you defeat a fighter but a mage escapes while she's

You are unsure on how long she will be **** for but decide that your two harmless 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. 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 her 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 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 Jenna hands and moves to retrieve you, the fighter spots the skeletons and shouts a warning but it's too late for him, you command the golden bow skeleton to shoot him. An arrow fires into his back and he stumbles forward, 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. The mage casts a fire ball at the golden bow skeleton which engulfs it 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 but concentrate on directing attacks against the mage yet he flees before you can command the skeletons to finish him off and you call them back to resume their vigil. In the lull you take the time to check your current stats.

Name : Skeletal Staff
Class : Minor undead/weapon
Level : 2
HP : 15/15
MP : 2/2
STR : 2
DEF : n/a
Strengths : when held grants the hero the following abilities resistance to piercing weapons, resistance to sorcery, resistance to acid, heat and cold, immune to poison and drowning
Weaknesses : None
Special abilities : when held the staff can cast Fear, command undead or summon undead
New Abilities: change length - whether you are held or not you have the ability to change your length/height at will up to a maximum of being a 10 foot pole/no known minimum

You are disappointed, you kind of hoped than when you levelled up them you could have regained your original body but it doesn't seem that this is the case. Your extra MP makes a difference, yet your height changing powers have no obvious use. Increasingly bitter at your predicament you decide to sulk until Jenna wakes up, the annoying thing is that no one can tell when you're sulking.

What precautions do you take before Jenna wakes up?
