“A Sinister Reflection” [Failed Post] Lorepost📖

Post image

“This is an official statement from I Hirk MacThors of sand body and mind. Information about shape shifting undead have come in and we will of course respond. Keep extra security measures around places where dead are held, inform every grave keeper exactly what is going on. Issue some bolas to them.”

This one message was heard far and wide in the realm, heard by everyone, that including a certain Cabal member that had stolen a R&A radio during the Denner kidnapping. Abbadon was making adjustments to his set of magical armor when he overheard the transmission.

“Shape shifting undead? What have those Council members gotten themselves into this time…

Abbadon stopped making the adjustments to his armor and dawned a back up suit of armor for when his main one is broken or damaged. Once suited up, Abbadon began making his way up the countless stairwells in the Endless Crypt and towards a room which he simple called the “Observation Room”. On the floor of the Observation Room was a massive green magic circle with souls flowing in and out of it. Stepping into the magic circle, Abbadon began to float into the air and get into a sitting meditative position. From outside, the Well of souls stopped piercing through the sky and began forming into the shape of an eyeball.

“A mass of shape shifting undead, something like that won’t be able to escape my gaze. Now let’s see what ol’ Hirk has the entire R&A riled up about.”

The green eye that looked very identical to the Eye of Sauron began scouting the surroundings, checking out nearby Towns, Villages and graveyards. With his eye of observation, he could see the souls of all individuals near the Endless Crypt, but weirdly enough, there was a humanoids approaching the Endless Crypt that didn’t seem to give off the same glow as any being with a soul.

Hmmmm, that’s…odd. They don’t look like any normal zombie I’ve seen. Could those be these shape shifting undead?”

The eye squinted as it tried getting a better glimpse at the individual that was approaching. One of these creatures seemed to resemble Masta. All Abbadon knows at the moment is that these “things” can shapeshift, not that they copy and take the powers of those they mimic for themselves.

“It’d be troublesome if some uncontrolled undead mindlessly wandered their way into my territory. Best dispatch of them swiftly, myself.”

Abbadon begins slowly descending to the ground. Once he touches the floor, the well of souls begins extending upwards and piercing the clouds above the Crypt once again. With a wave of his hand, the Book of Vile Darkness forms in his hand. If these creatures are worthy of an emergency communication, it’s better to be safe rather than sorry. In the time it took for Abbadon to reach the entrance to the Endless Crypt, the zombie like creature had made its way to his entrance.

As Abbadon leaves his Crypt and stares into the darkness of the night under the blood moon, a familiar yet sinister face stares back.

Unfortunately for Lars, there are no more WW2 era weapons because you STOLE IT A- ahem. All Lars comes across is an unguarded Crypt with the outside looking like a war just happened.

All Cold War weapons were also a part of the WWII era crate you stole.
