Chapter 25

Chanting Is Never a Good Sign

The tunnel was wide and quickly went downward into the hill. The party of three were presented with an almost immediate T-junction, but it was clear which route they needed to take. There was a low humming sound coming from the left.

“That’s not humming,” Olanna said. “That’s chanting.”

“Never a good sign if you start hearing chanting when underground,” Dargan whispered, earning an amused snort from Olanna at his side.

Olanna had an arrow at the ready and sighted down the tunnel over the dwarf’s head. Connor was relegated to the back of the group, clutching his stolen war mace in one hand and his hand ax in the other. He was still in a state of shock that his old friend had followed him into the game. Perhaps he was even more shocked when he realized that she was still annoyed with him and was now appearing to form a strong bond with the dwarf while ignoring him!

“Just my luck,” Connor groaned. Here he was, a world-class game hacker, relegated to the back of the party. He might as well just become the damned Healer of the group.

“Wait!” Dargan hissed.

The tunnel ended in an abrupt right-hand opening out of which spilled a flickering light. The chanting was louder now, but Connor didn’t think that it was coming from the room next to them. The group waited anxiously as Dargan crouched at the tunnel opening and cautiously looked inside nodded to Olanna, as if they had already planned this move in advance.

Wait, they’re choreographing now?! he thought jealously as Olanna smoothly stepped into the opening and released her bow.

“Three!” his friend hissed. Both she and Dargan charged forward with Connor following a close third.

The chamber here was circular and had block walls with another opening at the far side. Twin metal sconces on the walls flickered, casting a baleful ruddy light into the room around them. The candlelight illuminated the suddenly snarling three Skeleton Warriors turning toward them. Guards, Connor thought immediately. Set here to protect whatever foul horror was happening deeper inside.

Thock! A second of Olanna’s arrows lodged into the ribcage of one of the Skeletons as Dargan closed with the second. Connor skidded around the corner and set his eyes on the third, forcing his stride to lengthen as the creature was about to bring down its rusted blade on Dargan’s head.

Skeleton Warrior attacks Dargan with Scimitar. Attack blocked by Connor; no damage done.
