"Jesus, that stench smells really damn close now," Priest said, covering his nose with one arm and holding his makeshift energy receiver in the other.
"So we're almost there," Ozzy said, slowing down slightly.
"What now?" Priest asked.
"I guess we try and talk some sense into him. Or zap him with your raygun there..."
"My power over the undead is not yet complete," Grimm yelled at Vilura, exasperated.
"You command an impressive army," She replied, gesturing widely with her arm to show him the thousands of zombies that now obeyed his every whim.
Ozzy and Priest were listening from the cover of the woods, Priest making ready with his enery receiver.
"You have any idea if that thing will work?" Ozzy whispered. Priest shrugged in reply.
"Because I think I have a plan..." Ozzy said.
"This world should be mine!" Grimm yelled, storming across the camp with his arms raised in frustration.
"It could be..." Ozzy said, stepping out of the trees.
"If he wasn't indestructible, I'd kick his ass," Priest muttered under his breath.
"Baxter!" Grimm said, twirling around and wielding his axe like a pointer.
"Oh. It's one of them," Viluria said, less than thrilled.
Ozzy threw up his arms in a gesture of peace. "Whoa, whoa! I'm not here to fight."
"Then you're here to die," Grimm replied.
"You know as well as anyone that it'd take a lot more than an army of zombies to stop me."
"We'll see."
"Listen, I know what you want... and I know what's in your way..." Ozzy said, walking forward carefully.
"You know very little."
"Godbolt," Ozzy said, coming to a stop a few feet away from Grimm.
"What?"
"Godbolt. Lord Gaovulte. King Dick. Whatever you want to call him. He controls the necromantic energy in this world. He's your opposition," Ozzy said, nervous despite his confidence that Grimm couldn't hurt him.
Viluria remained silent. She liked where Ozzy was going with this.
"Your point..." Grimm said through clenched teeth.
"We're taking the castle!" Ozzy said with an uncharacteristically cheery tone of voice.
"The castle? Gaovulte's fortress?" Grimm replied.
"Yeah, that one. It'll be fun."
"The task is practically impossible," Grimm stated.
"Can't hurt to try."
Grimm cocked his head to the side at this.
"We can get you to Godbolt. With your army on side..." Ozzy swept an arm out at this point. "We can do it."
