[MEDIUM] A Chamber of Bones

0 Favorites ・ 0 Comments

In this chamber lies a beast, its bones a shape strange.
Our party of four must find a way to rearrange,
For the giant skeleton is blocking the way.
The group glances at each other, options they survey.

"I could resurrect it," Oneiros does whisper.
"No," Mantis replies, their voice much loud and crisper.
The devil laughs, and the other two look confused,
They have no idea why he seems so amused.

Hawkes brushes it off and tries to grab a large bone,
"This is so heavy..." they say in an irate tone.
It's an interesting prize, a story to tell,
But irritation does not help, it they do quell.

Leiken finds a bone smaller to so try and grab.
He wants a wand, but almost does manage to jab
Out one of his eyes as the skeleton stays put.
"This is not working," he comments, kicks it with foot.

Mantis eyes the skeleton with eyes so Knowing,
They've the beginnings of a plan to start sowing.
"There is a weapon, I see, right there in its eye,"
Mantis does consider, "It is how it did die,

So perhaps, if we use that, we could break on through."
They study the sword, and the rest look at it too.
Oneiros smirks and moves. "I can do this, my dears..."
Mantis knows that he can, but also feels some fears.

It is quite foolish to fully trust a devil,
Since they do bring forth chaos for their own revel.
But since there seems to be not another choice here,
They keep quiet, and do not so voice that strong fear.
