I didn’t have much time to enjoy my victory over that squad of greenskins before something even worse showed up. As inured to death and destruction as I was, even I was shocked at the sheer inhumane devastation being wrought by that strange fog. It mowed down orcs by the dozens, tearing them into wet, bloody shreds like some kind of gaseous woodchipper. I didn’t know what the fuck it was, but I sure as hell knew that I didn’t want to be out here with it anymore!
So, I took the advice of the chick who wanted to open up my skull and started to vamoose. Unfortunately, this body is good for two things, eating people and taking a beating. Neither of those equated to being very fast, and with a half-dozen spears stuck through me, not even considering that knife still in my chest, you can imagine that I wasn’t going anywhere very quickly. The door to my salvation began closing, and I was fucked. Nice. I had just started to get a good feeling about this whole Omni thing, and now I was gonna get splattered across the trees by some sadistic fog.
Just when I thought I was done for, that blonde chick surprisingly did me a favor. I didn’t really expect her to come to my aid again after that whole orc thing, but she was kind enough to grab ahold of a couple of my chest spears and, slinging me over her shoulder like some hobo’s bindle, she trucked it into the temple. Nice girl. I’ll have to remember to thank her when I can do more than grunt and moan.
Once inside, Blondie dropped me like a sack of shit. Eh, no biggy. Not like it would really hurt me anyway, and me being so close to her head had to have had her worried. But it seemed like respite was to be fleeting. As soon as the door slammed shut, the whole fucking place started to fall apart on us. I got pelted by some rocks as I staggered along with the group to escape the collapse. A bright flash of light later, and suddenly the motley crew was far smaller. The blonde girl, Christa I’d heard someone call her, was still here, along with some skeletal robot and some other guy who was far less interesting to look at. Not trying to insult the guy, ya know. Just calling it like I see it. Course, it might be a good thing he can’t read my thoughts.
Where “here” is, is another thing entirely. It looked like… well, a hallway. A stone hallway. Seen more than my fair share back in Drac’s castle, and this wasn’t much different. Some kind soul had seen fit to at least light a torch in the area, so YAY for being able to see shit. Not that there was much to see, but it was better than stumbling around in the dark. I might not be able to feel pain, but annoyance? That was something else.
