The Last Oddetsey

[kodster]

A burning feeling flowed through Eudial as she watched the prone form of the hated doctor fall. It was savage... it was stimulating... but though similar, it wasn't the fire that had suddenly wreathed about her. It was adrenaline... she felt a wild joy in the death of this buffoon, delight in seeing his lifeless body shrivel, seeing the hole she had carved into him.

And then an epiphany came to her. What was it that she was struggling to remember? Yes... Gaunt was here, that was it. She looked down at the corpse of Seben. Thanks for that... fool.

Eudial stood up and disguised the demonic expression previously worn. The door she approached... no, she had to prepare. What if it wasn't Gaunt? It could be more psychics for all she knew... aha... I know.

Eudial stood to the side of the door. She wouldn't let them get her. Perhaps she was being paranoid, but after this encounter she wouldn't be so surprised. She leaned against the wall, and put a hand onto the door, pouring energy into it and intent on blowing it to smithereens, or at least into some others of the evil place who had come to attack her.

After clearing the ridge, the huge floating castle comes into view - or what you presume must be it - while most of the hills here are fairly globular and undefined, this is a sheer pillar of stone rising upwards almost vertically. It is almost entirely covered with green, with the only clue to it's true identity being the peaks of a few spires piercing through the vines and creepers that have engulfed this place, however, you do note that the place seems remarkably intact. Unfortunately there is no conventional way up, as the place looks like it was meant to be accessed straight to the top.

Oh goody. Exercise. Even if I wanted to crawl up that cabbage-covered column, it'd take me till the end of the next universe before I reached the top!

George, stay ahead and clear me a flight-path. It's about time I started putting this new cane through its paces. Chopper mode and away we go!
