Go To


20: Heaven or Hell?

Ah, what a wonderful rest...and look at that...my axe now has a wonderful green tint to it. 'Twas good fortune that my Minions are loyal enough to sacrifice themselves for the greater good...I mean evil! Yes, evil. Those of you who are still alive, come with me. We still have work to do. To Heaven's Peak we go!

There has to be a way to sneak into the sewers....I will leave it up to the Blues to open the way. And just for the Hell of it, I command you to open up an escape route for me, to cut down on travel time should we have to come back here later.

[The Overlord sees a bunch of Zombies spilling forth from the sewer entrance once he returns.]

Oh, great. This is all your fault! Why did you have to listen to me and open that sewer up?

[The Blue Minions glare menacingly at him...more so than usual.]

Oh, right.

Gnarl: Hmm...they're dead...the serious kind of dead, where you don't get up and start lurching around. No challenge there, Sire.

You are correct...some would say that being dead is more comfortable than being Undead. I would call those people "buffoons."

And how about that...this sewer is full of grimy water, but there appears to be a spawning point for Browns. Something tells me that I will need to drain the water level in order to make full use of my army. Not being able to summon my best fighters severely limits my options. It seems I will have to plow through these undead on my own until I can find a way to..."even the odds", as it were. Of course, the entryway into the castle proper would have to be guarded by a turnstile...and this one is missing three pieces. Ugh...

Gnarl: So the priests didn't escape the plague, either. Looks like the Silent Order, Sire. They have a temple within Heaven's Peak.

Funny...they still look like your regular old easily-slaughtered zombies to me. Watch your step, boys! They have magic on their side. on the other hand, have the power of Fire on mine!

[The Minions find the three turnstile bars and open the gate to the next area. They are then encountered by a priest whose lips are sewn shut.]

Gnarl: Now you can see why they're called the "Silent" Order. Although having their mouths stitched up doesn't really give them a choice!

[He tries to tell the Overlord something, but his speech is completely unintelligible, and so he has to resort to pantomime. The Minions can't make sense of it, so the priest runs off, with the Overlord following after him., leading him to some survivors.]

Refugee 1: You're going the wrong way! The city's infested...the priests have shut the temple!

Refugee 2: And all Sir William does is throw endless parties with that creepy Red Dawn lot.

Refugee 1: He couldn't give a rat's fart about us. We're making a run for it.

Refugee 2: Better join us if you don't want to end up with bits hanging off!

"Endless parties, eh?" Looks like we have ourselves another "hero" who needs disposing.
