Was called back by Elidyr to be dealing with the temple. Was the last time, too, seein' as we cleared the temple out completely finally. No more undead walking around, and no more necromancer to keep raising them. Keeps askin' us to deliver 'im relics an' to not destroy this unhallowed temple. Don't much trust 'em for that. Is umgak I say! Still. Won't complain about good payment and the destruction of undead. Dead shouldn't be walkin' about.
Last time we went right, so this time we chose to go left. Weren't much but a barrier, which we were able to deactivate and walk through. A couple of zombie hulks on the other side, white hair called 'em. Aye, that sounds right enough. They was incorporeal at the moment though, kept like that by some pressure plates, five of 'em to be exact. After setting up and positioning, we began the fight. Wasn't too bad a fight at first, but swear they got possessed by somethin' during the battle. Couldn't see what though. They reeled back, and with two great hits knocked half of us on our arses and splattering blood all o'er the room. We were fortunate white hair was with us though. No idea what she muttered, couldn't hear anything other'n the ringin' of my own ears or see with all the blood in my eyes, but our wounds began to mend. Even cleared the ringin' for just enough time for me to hear Dranngvit insultin' me, callin' me to battle and to seek retribution. And aye, I did. With rage in my heart and mind and with righteous resolve we cleared 'em up.
We began to patch up, an' though I could feel how numb my face was, I ain't lettin' another see my face. It brings dishonor to a dwarf of Kogan Usân to be unmasked before his or her time. I'd sooner die than live with the shame. Couple hours later, an' we were feelin' good enough to start exploring again. Weren't much else on this side 'cept a few relics to sell, so we went back to an area we recently saw undead on the other side.
The undead we encountered there were dwarven draugr, may Magrim cleanse their souls and enter them into Torag's Halls, as well as skavelings. Much the same, they were not active 'til after we placed items on a pressure plate. No idea why they be activated 'til after, but I ain't complaining. Makes it easier for me! This battle went by much quicker, with the dwarves being put to rest quickly enough and the skavelings soon to follow. 'Course, the casters then began to complain about being out of spells, and the elgi and raki were bloodied once more. Would've been dangerous had we continued on forward, so we left the finale for the morning.
Bright-eyed and bushy-bearded the next morning, we set inside to the final sanctum, where inside lie a necromancer. A foul being with ain't no respect for the dead, scum as they are. Getting past yet another barrier, we entered and saw a final zombie hulk and skaveling. At the back was the death wizard himself, readin' a book that looked much like the one white hair was carryin' around. Coward was hiding behind some barrier, but it wouldn't save him, as we managed to disable it and begin the battle! At one point, the lizard and I were dropped on death's door. Hate to admit it, but without white hair we wouldn't'a been able to do this. Yet that weren't the most amazing thing. Magrim himself entered our realm for but a moment, and swiftly smote the hulk! It dropped dead, still forever more, and with that victory was all but assured. We went up to the necromancer an' were about to slay it, and in its final moments it tried to grasp at me, stealing my life for its own. Yet it would prove useless - the blood of Kogan Usân runs through my veins! No true son or daughter of Kogan Usân would dare to fall to the wicked and vile magics of necromancy!
With the death of the necromancer, so too did its skaveling minion fall. Victory was won this day, and the damnedable temple be cleaned out. We exited the crypts and reported back to Elidyr, got paid, and headed back to town. Ain't much else to report.
