Shades of Delusion: The Aftermath

[The Vorpal Tribble]

Somnium begins the operation and the smell that issues from within the cavities is enough to drive all out but Rose.

Even Griswald after half an hour steps outside to wipe tears from his burning eyes. The sun rises higher, but thunderclouds near on the horizon, while still not near land, though on their way, are enough to keep the sun from fully shining through.

Music, cheers and song can be heard echoing from the city, and it seems a lot of folk are having fun.

Finally Rose sticks her head out to snatch a few labored breaths before returning within.

It is slightly over an hour before Somnium emerges, his face still and grim, wiping water off his now cleaned scales.

Domile quickly approaches, "Were you able to cut his ties to the world so we can destroy him for good?"

The Results
Type: Undead
Physical Stats: Str 22, Con - (dead, dead, dead), Dex 12
Attack: 6 claw attacks (it appears that the ribs have disengaged from the others, and musculature is slowly forming about them that would allow it to use them like pinchers)
Special Qualities: Darkvision

The tail and lower body is gaining a snake or slug-like musculature, and it appears the creature will be capable of slithering and raising up upon it. Should be capable of moving at least as fast as a man.

It appears its neural structure is regrowing and thickening throughout the entire body in a way you've never seen. To what end however you cannot be certain. Much of where you cut appears to be regrowing and healing in different ways.

All in all it is fascinating watching the body renege against the ways of nature and turn death inside out.

Also, within his stomach cavity are the splintered bones of past meals... some of them human, and out of those most appear to be children's.
