Gnarlo was in an amazing mood, his skin was glowing, he was refreshed… he even looked a couple years younger.
He woke up early from his amazing night, even got the cart supplied and ready to go.
He was busy whistling in between drinking a mug of ale when Maro showed up with Jintha on his shoulders.
Maro looked like an undead that he was supposed to kill… Jintha looked absolutely glowing and was in an amazing mood while riding Maro's shoulders…
Be careful what you wish for, Gnarlo thought while looking at Maro.
"Jintha, good morning, we got off on the wrong foot… thank you for your brothel recommendation last night… truly." Gnarlo raised his mug
Maro smiled like the undead only could and Jintha was incredibly confused… but okay.
They hit the road…
The entire trip to the desecrated temple didn't take them too long… they got their late evening… just enough time to scout around before the sun went out.
While Gnarlo was scouting with his stealth ability, Maro was pondering again about how he could charge head first into combat as soon as they fell asleep and hopefully die…
Jintha was more aggressive than his three ladies combined… she wasn't physically powerful… but her Earth magic made stronger bindings than Druid or Ice magic…
At one point while she was passed out, he thought he could sneak out but as soon as he was about to get up he was encased in a block of stone… only 2 holes were exposed… and there was a makeshift stone saddle created over his face and crotch. The saddle was made perfectly for female gnomes…
At least she would only stick around for the duration of this mission. He became highly motivated to kill this Orc Necromancer immediately, this was a one day thing tops… either he died or fought for his freedom.
Just as he confirmed his resolve… Maro popped back…
"Yeah undead everywhere all over the temple, we have to kill thousands of them before we even get to the temple steps… we can't do this… we should go back in the morning." Gnarlo warned
"No, this has to be resolved first thing in the morning… you guys will wait here until I get back… That's final." Maro scared both of them just a bit… like he had a deathwish
Jintha yawned "time to hit the hay if you're going to be fighting all day tomorrow"
She quickly made a makeshift shack out of stone and gestured Maro inside. He reluctantly went in.
As she was about to go in, Gnarlo piped up "Hey how come I don't get a house to sleep in?"
She summoned a lifesize statue of a cow by the cart "Have fun Gnarlo, life is short… I know I'll be having fun tonight" as she slapped Maro's butt again
And then she sealed the door with stone, no way in or out.
Luckily everyone around them was undead, because no one should be subjected to seeing what Gnarlo did to that stone cow.
Meanwhile the stone hut looked like it was hosting a disco dance party, intense bright light was flashing through the small windows for the entire night.
