Descriptive Text

"The corpse in the white robes was the last of the three. Claude fired his crossbow at it, but it was too fast: One moment, it was creeping about the fallen statues, and then the next, it clawed Michael's chest as Claude's arrow clattered among the rocks. As we drew our swords, it clambered to the top of a pillar to address us.

""Vandals! Why have you come to this place to murder my comrades Rahad and Hamuk?"

"Claude stepped forward as I cradled Michael.

""We came to these ruins to find the Spear of Dagon, to stop the monster Ishud," Claude angrily shouted. "We were attacked and we had to def-"

""High Priest Ishud? A monster? How can you speak of the high priest like that?"

""The high priest rises from his tomb each night to prey on the villagers," I added.

""I can not allow vandals to steal the holy relic I guard to murder the high priest!" And with that, it drew a blackened horn from its blood-spattered robes, and brought it to its lipless mouth. As the trumpet's piercing note sounded through the air, clouds of sand boiled out of the cracks and crevasses. Just as we thought we would suffocate, the clouds of sand congealed into a mass of writhing, snapping, tawny horse-sized lizards. And with a grandiose sweep of its bony arm, the white-robed corpse shouted: "There shall be no mercy to the blasphemers! Tear them to pieces!""

-from the journal of Jerome Delacroix, Mordentish explorer[1]
