Jonah Note 11

“They come,” Vern said. The half-ogre’s giant, trashcan maul sat on the ground, and I’d been using it as a chair. I leaped up, watching. I had two half-ogres with me. Vern and another with only one arm. That one was a farmer from the town of Marizy, and he only came with us today because he refused to let us use his oxen without accompanying them. Behind us, the two oxen grunted with impatience. Their empty carts creaked as the beasts pulled against them.

Three towers loomed above, along the extended, straight path that led away from Castle Two and approached the winding Seine—the Cassagnac River here. We hadn’t yet explored this second castle. In the real world, this was Musée de l'Armée or the Army museum, and it was also Napoleon’s tomb. Neither Gretchen nor Popper could remember anything about this game version, but Popper didn’t think it was anything special. The castle was visually similar to Castle Six, but its exterior gave no hint as to the contents within. A tomb made me think there would be undead, but this entire city was built over a tomb. It was one of the worst places in the world for me to be with my curse. If I didn’t have the castle to protect me, I imagined I’d be overwhelmed with undead in a matter of hours. I didn’t currently see any undead on my minimap. I still wore the Detect Undead pendant around my neck. Deeper in the city, however, my map was awash with the faded red dots, indicating inactive and hidden undead. These, I knew, were all underground, part of the massive Catacombs the city rested upon.

The first tower stood near the start of the long, dirt pathway toward the bridge. The second, slightly-larger tower rose about a hundred meters further down, halfway between the first and the bridge.

The third tower stood just on the other side of the stone bridge, on the opposite shore of the Cassagnac. The first and third turret required a minimum of five soldiers to operate, but hit peak efficiency with 15. I had 15 in each of these. The middle turret required just five, and I’d maxed that one out also. Granger controlled the first tower, Tiatha controlled the second, and the triplets—who refused to be separated—controlled the third. The first and third turrets were level one arrow towers. The maximum damage of each shot was a product of the total level of all the archers in the tower. Everyone was at least level one, with several level 5’s mixed in. The third tower with the triplets was by far the most deadly. I was surprised to see that Ace, their ever-present auric bard, had a respectable level of 14 with the longbow, raising the damage of that third tower even more.

If all went as planned, nobody in that third tower would even get a chance to fire a shot. Their job was to kill anything that got through.
