(Adventures in Loathing) End of the Heroic Age: Fallout - UNDEAD: Fumblies Command 4: It goes bump...PART 2

As the undead dragon flies off Fumblies just stares after it feeling a strange mix of emotions; bewilderment at how the dragon had ended up there, frustration that it had ended up getting away, and satisfaction that he had ended up surviving the encounter. As the rest of the group stands talking Fumblies suddenly disappears.

The disappearing act is totally unnoticed as heated discussion about what to do next was going on. Scaros, the commander of Fumblie’s goblin squad, was advocating that they secure the area and press on into Seaside Town to find a way to end the undead threat. While the discussion was going on the undead dragon was winging deeper into the undead land.

Ironically the dragon was flying in the same direction as the glowing foot prints that Fumblies had seen while he was invisible. Zapin and Charr were completely worn out from the effort of spell casting that had been done to take done the dragon. Twitch was looking around the area waiting to be told to take a look around. The victorious heroes (villains) all were taking a few moments to recharge and see what what happen next.

Meanwhile, the undead hordes had returned to reenactment of the KOKOL/Knob war. Many of those undead who had been slain in the fight with the dragon were now returning to the battle as both sides were locked in struggle for the ruins of Seaside Town. As the undead dragon flew away the undead seem to become more active in the motions.

It happened in less than a heart beat, Fumblies was perfectly visible to the rest of the group then he was gone. As he lets his eyes adjust to the sudden change in the light he see sees several blurred figures standing just outside of his vision. It was then that he feels the hands on his arms and legs. Before he can react he is lifted up and the group starts moving.

If Fumblies had been able to see the ground he would have seen the they were following the path of the glowing foot prints. While the groups moves Fumblies tries to see who or what is carrying him but is only able to see a fuzzy blurred figure when his eyes locked on one of carriers. With a frown Fumblies just decides to see where he was being taken.

What seemed like hours later the groups stops. As soon as they stop Fumblies it dropped to the ground then tied up before he can move. Fumblies looks around as he tries his bindings and quickly discovers that he was stuck. Fumblies was now wondering what was happening but decides to keep silent in order to learn more about what was going on. After about an hour Fumblies falls asleep and instantly begins to dream.

The was a lush meadow with stars over head. Seated on a rock a short ways from Fumblies was an assuming looking Knob Goblin dressed in to strange looking black clothing. A unreadable expression was plastered on his face. “Welcome to the world of Dreams. I hope you appreciate the effort I have gone through to bring you here. I have been watching you for quite some time now.”
“Why did you bring me here? I don’t know who you are.” Fumblies fires these questions back without really stopping to read what had been posted. As he looks around the darkly dressed Knob just chuckles in amusement.
“I am Kwalin and all that you see is my domain or soon shall be. I find it amusing that the now former Knob Goblin King is being held as a prisoner of the Feline Empire. Though that is now why I sent for you to be brought here.” As Kwalin speaks the air starts to kill around him starts to chill.
“So why did you bring me here?” Fumblies could feel the chilling in the air and wondered what was really going on.
“It is simple really I want to to help you end the undead problem you are having.” Kwalin smiles kindly as he Fumblies looks up at the stars quickly and notices that the stars were reversed. He doesn’t notice the evil smirk that crosses Kwalin’s lips.
“And how would that be?” Fumblied ask curiously.

“You need to kill the Knob Goblin King. He is the one who powered the spell that caused the undead to arise in the first place and while he is still alive the spell can’t be broken.” Kwadlin speaks in sagely and then falls silent as he snaps his fingers.

Suddenly Fumblies bolts awake in the invisible land still tied up. As he starts to stir he is picked up once more and then carried some more. He contemplates what he had dreamed and wondered just how he was to accomplish the task that he had been given.

An odd little dream, and a prophesy. We'll find out soon enough if anything comes with it, as we've only two roleplays to go.. then it's time for the Finale to begin!
