    Rattle rattle!

    The bones leap to their feet in a jerky display of stop-motion animation when our heroes get too close! They snatch up their admittedly rather terrible gear and move to attack!

    Sabers swinging!

    Shields blocking!

    Bones rattling!

    Wait, didn't we mention the bones rattling already?

    Well, they're doing that even more.

    Jace laughs, leaping backwards. Oh, the joys of classic perils! He's had to deal far too long with strange pokemon curses and all-hearing chaos creatures. It's far better to find things he can beat just by blasting them with force missiles. And he does, deciding to splurge and fire a few from his own hand, at the three nearest him instead of using the gun again.

    Zebes provides a soundtrack, unheard to all but the two of them.

    Anika could turn into a bear again, but as Jace was merrily blasting the skeletons, she couldn't risk charging in without potentially getting hit by friendly fire. Therefore, she instead holds out her both hands in front of her and a beam of focused sunlight, functioning like a magically enhanced magnifying glass, to ignite one of the skeletons and turn it into ash.

    Magic missiles and sunbeams of death, ahoy!

    The skeletons aren't particularly durable. Not in the least, no sir! But as each one is destroyed, bloody red runes begin glowing on the remaining bones, matched by similar runes on the ceiling. With each ruined skeleton, the runed circle above inches closer to completion.

    There's a pretty good chance that something bad will happen if the circle is completed.

    The remaining skeletons, meanwhile, continue their onslaught!

    Isolated Hilltop

    A storm brews over this hilltop, thunder rumbling overhead and lightning flashing through the sky as rain pelts down and gale-force winds strip the leaves from the trees. There's a smash and rumble as the tallest tree is struck, bursting into flames which are quickly doused by the heavy rain. A few more strikes hit the edges of the hilltop and nearby trees, though no more strikes create fire.

    A final rumble accompanies three simultaneous bolts of lightning, each striking the same central point of the hill. After that, the rain dies down, the clouds quickly dissipate, and there are no more lightning flashes or rumbles of thunder. The burning tree smoulders and smokes, but no flames are visible, and all is still. The storm has gone, leaving only devastation in its wake. Devastation, and a jian sword, eighty centimetres long, is sticking from the ground where the three bolts struck. The sword rests in a bone scabbard, with delicate etchings and carvings along its sides. A black silk tassel hangs from the hilt, passing through a hole in the rounded bronze pommel.

    A magical signal is sent throughout the Nexus, to attract the curious, inquisitive and scholarly.

    If this artifact truly wanted to be found, then perhaps it should have landed in a more populated area than outside. Out here, only adventurers, travelers and beasts held sway.

    This visitor would be in the second category.

    Down from above a huge dragon descends, its body curling along like a snakes in the skies as it rides the winds with its feathery wings.
    (This dragon)

    While the dragon stops as it reaches the blackened tree, it never actually lands. Staying floating just above the ground. It inspects the sword carefully, trying to magically analyze it to see how the sword drew it here.

    The magic which drew the dragon here is very curious magic. Interesting and confusing. It's powerful, but seems benign- or at least, not actively malicious. Further, it seems that the calling magic does not actually originate from the sword itself; though the sword is a magical weapon in its own right, it seems more as though something else wants somebody to find the sword, somebody that meets the requirements of being inquisitive and curious enough to follow the signal all the way out here, from wherever they started in the Nexus. Somebody possibly like the dragon.

    The dragon may feel it is being watched.

    The dragon certainly filled the requirements, but it did not see what it would use such a weapon for. It was hardly the tool of a scholar. Unless that scholar happened to want to learn more of sword fighting techniques of course, something which admittedly had drawn its interest in the past. Looking around, it attempts to reach out to whatever presence that might be watching, attempting to make contact with it, or perhaps even the sword itself. This dragon regularly communicated and ordered around conceptual spirits, and this sword would be no different.

    The entity that is watching is not a spirit of any kind, and will deftly avoid the dragon's attempts to make contact. If the dragon attempts to order it, on the assumption that it is a spirit, the watcher will not respond and keep watching.

    The sword itself isn't intelligent, and cannot talk. Though if the dragon tries to make contact with the sword, as it would with the watching entity, the sword will reply to any and all questions by stubbornly saying 'I am to slay ignorance and defend knowledge'.

    That's one aggressive sword, hardly meeting the dragons standards for enlightenment. Killing people, ignorant or otherwise, always caused a loss or information, or so her father always said. Killing should always be the last resort, especially when you had such great powers.
    What a curious artifact. Shame about the bloodthirst, but what else would a sword be? It is a tool of murder after all.The dragon then grabs the hilt of the sword by its teeth and attempts to pull it out. It had no intention of claiming ownership of it yet though. Opposed to violence as she was, she didn't think she would fulfill the swords purpose very well.

    Galleon Rock

    Anika knew that only black and lime were as much associated to Bad Stuff as red. So Jace was probably right, unless the loon running this place was using reverse psychology. "Let's just gets past these goons without destroying them then. Get on my back!" Was there a exit here, besides the one they came through? If so, Anika will turn into a bear and charge straight at it, ignoring the skeletons attacking them.

    There are in fact two ways out of the chamber. One to the north and the other to the east.

    The northern tunnel is glowing with a suitably creepy light.

    Lime colored light, in fact.

    And everyone knows that lime colored light can be just as associated with eeeeeeevil as red!

    The other path is dark, though our heroes might be able to here the sound of water dripping on metal.

    Which way do they go?

    Best choose quickly, since the skeletons don't seem keen on allowing our heroes much time to consider options.

    The moment the dragon grips the sword, the dragon knows several things. One, it now owns the jian, and will continue to own it until somebody else grips the hilt. Two, it is now incapable of forgetting anything, so long as the dragon owns the sword- even if the sword is not being held or carried, or is kept locked in a vault miles away, even if magic is used to force the loss of memory (though certain powerful entities might be able to force it anyway- gods of memory, perhaps). Three, the dragon can will the sword to glow brightly; the light burns through deception and deceitful magic, and anything written down that the light falls on can be read and understood by the sword's holder, with the possible exception of very unusual and esoteric languages.

    Four, the jian is a gift, and the dragon's use of the weapon will be observed and judged, and if the entity feels it is being misused, it will be taken away again.

    Ah, yes. She had figured something like this would happen. But she had also figured that it wasn't cursed either, and as it turns out, she was right on both accounts.

    While the effects, assuming the sword didn't lie being rather antithetical to its purpose, seemed useful, she couldn't help but to wonder why it came in the shape of a sword. Swords were made with one specific purpose, to hurt people. She supposed it could be symbolic for 'cutting through lies and deceit', but wouldn't a lantern be more appropiate then? It just seemed to her that unless the sword was used to hurt people, it would be 'misused'.

    Perhaps she would be able to find someone better suited for this, or she would find a use for it herself. Either way, she was keeping it for now.
    Grabbing it with her claws, the dragon takes off with the sword and flies away.

    "Go to the glowing door, that seems like the more important one." Jace hollers as he jumps onto the bear.

    He hasn't really ridden anything except when switching roles with Zebes so he can only hope that the two of them can hang on.

    Anika the bear growls and heads for the glowing door then. Jace better be right about this one, and he also better hold on since this bear isn't messing around. Straight for the exit, baby!

    Down the glowing hallway!

    The source of the glow soon becomes quite apparent. A large chamber looms before our heroes, decorated with stone slabs, milling skeletons, and a pile of corpses heaped on a corner.

    Oh.

    And an evil-looking alter made of contorted bone that's pulsing with sickly green light. At the top of the alter is what can only be called a tear in reality itself, a gaping wound in the face of the universe dripping brownish-black goop the consistency of molasses. The skeletons have a line set up, heaving bodies from one to another before tossing them atop the alter. Upon landing, the flesh is rent into the rift while the remaining bones are warped into part of the unnatural edifice of impossible angles and fluted, alien geometries.

    Howard the Necromancer is standing near the alter, shrieking in maniacal fits of laughter. Though, sadly, he seems to be lucid enough to recognize a potential threat. "Fools, you are too late, m'yes! I have already solved the riddle, m'yes! I have expanded my mind beyond the feeble limits of mortal understanding, m'yes! Already I have unlocked the secret of reanimating dead tissue and soon I will step beyond the veil into eternity itself, m'yes!"

    And with that, he begins chanting while several skeletons move to interpose themselves between our heroes and Howard. That gross pile of corpses is twitching a bit, too. Which might be bad.

    Jace blinks.
    "You sound like a lich I vaporized once." he says flatly.
    I'm feeling some doubt, Zebes. And when in doubt...
    Then he lobs a little red orb high into the air. If nothing intercepts it, it'll fall squarely on the necromancer's head where it'll explode in a large, fiery blast.
    Necromancers so often forget about basic defensive spells.

    Villains, always so egocentric, thinking everyone is out to stop them.

    But since they happened to come by... why not?

    She is going to wait until Jace's red orb does its work before making any move though. Hopefully, that was the real necromancer and not some dumb illusion. Those lone wizard types seemed to like those for some reason.

    As Jace tosses the fireball into the air, Howard the Necromancer raises his staff and utters a few guttural, mystic words in defiance of the spell! There's a brief clashing of magical power followed by a sizzling POP as the fireball fizzles.

    Stupid counterspell! The skeletons, meanwhile, begin firing upon our heroes with not particularly great bows! Probably a good idea to take cover if you happen to not be a bear made of wood. Arrows are pretty hazardous otherwise. That gross pile of corpses is twitching even more, now. Hopefully it isn't going to suddenly transform into some undead giant or something. That would be terrible.

    Howard continues his cackling, now turning his attention toward the alter as he intones some awful mystic formula.

    "Y'AI 'NG'NGAH, SOMBALET H'EE—L'GEB F'AI THRODOG UAAAH!"

    There comes a sickening, wet sucking sound from the rift followed by a wave of unnatural humidity that will likely leave our heroes feeling sticky and gross. Like stepping into muggy summer heat. Except the heat is crawling with giant amoebas that decide to start slithering on you.

    "Too late, m'yes! Now you fools shall witness my ascension into godho-"

    With a gross PLORP a mass of molassesy goop is disgorged from the rift on top of the alter, oozing down it like the worst smelling chocolate fondue ever. The rift then promptly ceases to exist.

    "What."

    Howard is confused!

    "WHAT! WHAT!? NO! I'm supposed to be a god now!" the necromancer shrieks as he begins pounding his fists against the alien alter, gashing his flesh against the fluted surface.

    Howard hurt himself in his confusion!

    Jace assumes the normal stance of a magic user in situations like this.
    He hops off the bear, takes cover behind her, and puts up his force-shield ring above him and Zebes as an umbrella. Once their volley is over he jumps out, assumes Doctor Strange's rock-horns pose Dammit Zebes that's not what it is!, and sends a number of large lightning bolts to all of the skeletons within 30 feet of him.

    Hopefully he doesn't need to do this more than once a day because he actually can't.

    Meanwhile, Zebes turns invisible and tries to sneak around the battlefield to the necromancer.

    Wait, the stumbled into god stuff? There wasn't near enough foreshadowing for that!

    It was like tripping over a manabomb on your way to the bathroom. You never expected to find something that dangerous there.

    Nonetheless, Anika the bear closes her eyes and weathers out the arrow storm. While her 'fur' was tough, feeling arrows bouncing off and shatter against it wasn't a particularly pleasant feeling.
    Once she feels the arrows have started coming, playtime was now officially over. This madman was going down.
    So she charges straight at him, attempting to maul the necromancer.

    You know what toasts skeletons really well?

    Lightning bolts.

    Many of the skeletons are blasted to ash. The rest move to dogpile on the barkbear when she goes charging past. This may or may not actually slow her down much, but at least they get points for effort. They also try raking her with their bony fingers, but that may not be very effective. Her first bearslap nails the reedy-looking necromancer, causing him to stagger back a few steps whilst proving that the guy is WAY more hearty than he looks. The second swipe strikes a shimmering screen of force that suddenly springs up between he and the bear.

    "This is your fault! YOUR FAULT, M'YES! Your fault that my ritual has been ruined and now you shall DIE, M'YES!" the necromancer shrieks as he thrusts his staff toward Mrs Bear, sending an oily black bolt of energy sizzling toward her. Should it strike, it'll cause the area around the point of impact to rot while inhibiting healing, magical or otherwise.

    The gross blob of goop on top of the later twitches a bit.

    Which may or may not be an ominous foreshadowing of some kind.

    Jace wants to help, but he can't do much with a force field in front of the mage and a bear in front of him too, so instead he moves up and begins preparing a blast on that pile of goop that's definitely going to need blasting.

    In the meantime, there is suddenly a Dragonite behind the necromancer! He better be careful or else he's going to be hit in the back of the neck with THUNDERPUNCH! "Gooo!"

    Welp, Anika the bear just have to endure. She takes the brunt of the bolt with her head, people back home always told her she was thick headed so so might as well use it. But even the magical blast discharges, and the bark skin start to rot, she endures and keeps charging towards the necromancer. She will attempt to maul his throat with a loud roar, not even noticing the big dragon-thing that suddenly appeared behind him.

    You know what happens when a guy named Howard gets clobbered from two sides at once? Well, first that force barrier manages to hold off the barkbear. But then he goes and gets brained from behind by Zebes, causing him to get smashed face first into the wall he created. As if that weren't unpleasant enough, the lapse in concentration causes the barrier to falter, which in turn ends in a bunch of messy bear mauling. Poor Howard gets his throat ripped out and staggers back a few steps, gurgling as the whole front side of him is stained crimson.

    Very messy.

    His blood burns creepy looking runes into the floor where it falls, similar light blazing on the gross corpse-heap on the other side of the room.

    In spite of the horrific damage, he whirls around with his free-hand, aiming to grab Zebes right on his oversized dragon-belly. Should the attack strike true, his hand will flare with foul power and drain some of Zebe's vitality in a desperate gambit to staunch his own bleeding.

    And as if things weren't bad enough already?

    Something pops out of the pile of goop that plopped onto the alter.

    It... well... it's probably absolutely nothing like what Jace may have been expecting as far as otherworldly horrors being vomited out of wounds in reality go.

    It's a lamb.

    A perfectly normal lamb, in fact.

    Smallish and white and wooly. Though it's hard to tell exactly how many legs and wings and arms it has. It's also hard to tell if they're in precisely the right spots. But it's plain to tell that it has more eyes and horns than anything aught to have. And surely there's nothing odd about ribbons of spidery alien language flowing around it, filling the air with half-heard whispers of unspeakable truths from which reality itself shrinks away. All of these insights might cause one to briefly wonder why they ever thought it was a perfectly normal lamb, though such thoughts may be quickly dismissed since that's clearly what it is.

    "Expression of relief! That was very proximal. Or close? That idiom escapes me," the completely normal lamb says. "My passing was fortunate! Someone opened a pore in this world's [untranslatable]. There is no need for accolades, I have contracted it for you so as to prevent your goods and services from being subsumed." The totally unremarkable creature begins taking stock of its surroundings, its attention falling on Jace. "Salutations, flatlander! I am attempting to communicate with you via meat-noises. Do you comprehend my sounds?"

    Belly? What belly?
    There's certainly no belly on the tiny dragon that's standing on the floor, much too low to be grabbed by a necromancer without him bending over. Zebes shuts down all telepathic activity and scuttles away, claws clicking.

    "Um. Yes. That is a thing that happened. Who are you and why are you here?" he asks, trying to be polite so he doesn't have his mind wrenched from reality.
    Great. A Far Thing. Jace has been lucky to not have ever run into these things in earnest. He's never even needed to use his Amnesiac potion except for Geneva. Or was she Fortuna at that point? It's hard to remember.

    Zebes must have been working out.

    "Lose your dragonite beer belly in 30 days!"

    As the necromancer fall to the floor, Anika changes back into her humanoid shape in an attempt to dispel the rot currently effecting her with a arcane gesture. Otherwise she is going to be in big trouble considering she couldn't heal herself now.

    Mrs Bear manages to remove the rotting curse without too much trouble, thankfully.

    Howard topples over when Zebes gets lil', leaving him floundering on the floor for a few moments before falling still. With any luck, that's the end of Howard the Necromancer.

    Though...

    Our heroes might have bigger things to worry about now.

    Like that absolutely unremarkable lamb on top of the bone-altar.

    "I expressed that already?" the creature retorts. "Maybe I made the meat-sounds wrong. I will attempt again! A pore was opened in your crust? and I closed it. It was fortuitous that a flatlander was tugging on my star, otherwise I may not have noticed the leak. It is not often to find open pores in a flatland's crust? and I found myself overcome with discovery! So I sent a fingers? through the pore while I closed it to investigate. I have only found an open pore twice prior and I was not aware that flatlands do not have layers. It was quite disastrous. But I have learned since then and now I am here without disaster! Would you like to exchange recipes?"

    That's...

    Umm.

    An explanation of some kind maybe?

    The creepy glow on the pile of corpses is growing steadily more livid.

    It doesn't matter whether you win or lose, just how awesome you look doing it.

    Zebes shortly rejoins Jace on his shoulder, watching the lamb.
    "Ah, you own the 'star' that he was trying to tap into. So uh, what sort of recipe are you talking about. And uh, is that part of your finger?" Jace asks, pointing at the glowy pile that he thinks should not be glowing.

    That seems very bad.
