[Questor]

Your undead minions cary you into the town of Riverton.

The frightened townsfolk direct you to the temple complex, to see the Paladin's wife.

[KrauserKrauser]

Assure the townsfolk that the joys of undead servitude are multiple and worthy of consideration. Ask for converts to willingly join the throng.

[Questor]

The townsfolk direct you to the HOLY TEMPLE OF RIVERTON.

You remember something about the works of dark arts and temples, but cannot recall the details.

>|

[KrauserKrauser]

Send WHORES into the temple to fetch the Lady Sir Mary.

Wait for the Lady on my Throne of Bone.

[Erik von Nein]

Strike a pose like David Bowe.

[The Yosemite Bear]

use zombies as bait to catch more fish.

[Questor]

Colin the Bear has used the skeleton army to catch fish. He is so successful that he begins to sell it on the street for a profit.

As the remaining skeletons riverdance, WHORES brings out the distraught Lady Sir Mary, whose name is actually Mary.

>|

[Hawkwings]

Tell Mary about your adventures with Sir Mary. Conveniently leave out the specific cause of Sir Mary's death.

[Questor]

Mary breaks into tears at the news of her husband's death. She had grave news for him.

>|

[KrauserKrauser]

Ask her about the news about graves.

[Questor]

She has no news about graves, but is frantic about Darkstar's troops making off with her daughter.

>|

[KrauserKrauser]

Ask her how she managed to raise such a harlot that would run off with a rampaging army.

Inquire if she puts out for money, then how much, regardless of answer say "Whoa! She ain't worth that!"

[The Yosemite Bear]

Asks if she has any clothing formerly worn by the daughter (bears are close to wolves/dogs in the sense of smell catagory)

[Questor]

After slapping you for your effrontery, she provides you with her daughter, Elizabeth's shawl.

>|

[The Yosemite Bear]

Shakes head, and after snorting out air in a huff begins trying to track by scent, gives widow a cut of the fish income.

[Questor]

You follow the scent of the retreating army for many miles. As night falls, you reach a great desert plain.

>|

[KrauserKrauser]

Begin erecting monuments to myself using the skeleton army as free labor.

Something along the lines of a Giza pyramid.

[The Yosemite Bear]

reluctantly share fish jerky with WHORES

[Questor]

WHORES thanks you for the fish jerky.

Your vast army begins building a pyramid.

The dust from the construction attracts the attention of The Great Leader.

>|

[Hawkwings]

Greet The Great Leader. Ask him if he would like a pyramid as well.

[Questor]

The Great Leader cannot hear you, as he is still many miles away, but rapidly approaching with his army of Objective Interim Ultra-Ultra-Ultra-Light Biologically Supported, Armored Attack Systems (OIUUULBSAAS), supplemented by various siege engines Objective Interim Ultra-Ultra-Ultra-Light Biologically Propelled Long Range Attack Systems (OIUUULBPLRAS) and Objective Interim Ultra-Ultra-Ultra-Light Biologically Propelled Wall Assault Systems (OIUUULBPWAS).

You can see the rising clouds of dust from miles away.

>|

[The Yosemite Bear]

begins hunting for the girl again.

[Questor]

Leving the undead army to finsh construction of the pyramid, you travel deeper into the desert in persuit of Darkstar's forces.

The clouds of dust from the south are getting closer.

You come to an oasis in the desert. It appears that Darkstar's army camped here for the night, and then split into three groups. Two large groups on foot, and a very small group on horseback.

>|

[The Yosemite Bear]

hmmm, the small group on horseback would probably be the choice, besides the clouds of dust from the south will probably run into the large group of footmen, and there will be much rejoicing.

[Questor]

You follow the group of horsemen for three days and two nights. As night falls on the third day, you arrive at a remote fortress built on a short mesa.

The tracks lead inside the fortress.
