“How did he die?” Lucian asked as he faced the Dwarf in confusion, “I did not strike a clear hit upon him!”
Adok had the same confusion in his eyes as he looked down upon the fallen Knight. Then, after glancing at the now dimming corpse, he asked of Lucian, “Take off his helm.”
The Black Knight did as he was asked as quickly, revealing nothing underneath.
As Lucian kneeled to look over the body closer he spoke, “He's untouched. Why is he dead!?”
“Aye, that's because he's not.” Adok said as he took the stone he was carrying and tossed it upon the corpse of the stricken Knight.
A sudden transformation happened before their eyes as the corpse decayed like it was from ages past. The winds of shysh flowing through the air as the illusion of a Mighty Grail Knight dissipated to show a truly ravaged man underneath it revealing a red scarred face of a man who clearly was not blessed by the Gods. The Red Pox of the Skaven had leaped into his flesh had have given him so many blubos that it was a terrifying sight to behold to any who still had mortal flesh. A reminder of how close they were to death’s door now that the plague was upon them.
Lucian rose as he watched it all happen before his eyes, “By the Gods.”
“These are no normal men.” Admitted Adok as he spat on the corpse, “He reaks of foul magic. Something powerful is infesting the body of these Knights.”
“If these… fakes are dying from the plague, do you think there will be many more in our way?” Lucian asked Adok as he gave a prayer to Morr for the fallen.
“If they were able to then they would have fought you when you arrived.” Adok pointed out with some good reason in his voice, “So, do we try to find the striken or challenge that Duke?”
As Lucian rose with the Runed Stone so that he could give it back to Adok, he could taste the winds of magic in the air. Something big was about to happen, being carried to them by the wind.
>Challenge the Duke!
>Seek out the fallen Grail Knights
>Go outside
