"I suppose it depends on what we find. Tell you what, if we find something we both want, we can play rock paper scissors for it. Whichever one manages to kill the other with a rock or scissors, wins," Drakkus suggested with a skeletal grin, stepping off the last step.
Character:
Grimmalt, Brildren, Vyrkul
Location
: Howling Fjord
Brildren passed by nearly a hundred rooms, ripping off a piece of beef jerky as he did so before finally pausing by one which appeared to be like all the others, save for a sign hanging off the door saying 'Go Away!'.
"Hey!" The Vyrkul bellowed, banging a fist upon the door. "You in there-." The door was slammed open, an ebony coloured fist of metal shooting from the shadows and smashing into Brildren's stomach before he could finished.
The Vyrkul fell to his knees with a wheeze, his eyes coming face to face with a pair of black plated boots carved to look like a pair of dragons mouths. Brildren's eyes ran up the black armour with demonic features carved in any place they could be, white boney joints showing between the metal's links around the knees and elbows, and a black cape hanging off bony shoulders. The Vyrkul's eyes finally alighted on a pair of glowing green eyes peeking out of the slit in a smooth two piece helm.
"It's a beautiful day for The Dread Knight to kick your sorry @$$! And was unimpressed- wait, is that beef jerky?" Without waiting for an answer the knight snatched up the dried foodstuff and fed it into the slit of his helm. There was a moment of silence aside form some chewing and Brildren's gasping breaths before the armoured figure spoke again. "I accept your measly offering! Now, Whaddya ya want?"
"L...Library..."
"The Dread Knight is off!" And so, without further ado, the undead trotted off down the hall towards the library.

"Is that really fair? Since metal breaks rock, rips paper and shatters scissors." Straz laughed, shaking his head. "But fine; we'll figure it out when we find the vault." He said, moving off down the corridor.

Drakkus paused for a moment. Pulling forth a pair of scissors from a pouch he looked at it for a moment, then stooped down and picked up a rock too before following Mathias.
Character:
Grimmalt, Brildren, Dread Knight
Location
: Howling Fjord
Grimmalt stared at Sataira currently lying on the table before him. Hands clasped before him earnestly, he shifted on his chair in concern. A thousand thoughts ran through his head, most entailing the consequences of her dying under his watch, not to mention that, according to the clues present in the library, one of the invaders had managed to penetrate this far. Grimmalt glanced to the side and the sky, clearly visible through a giant hole in the library wall, in distress. It would not be a flattering report for anyone.
The Vyrkul jumped when the door was thrown open, slamming against the wall with a crack and revealing the shadowed form and burning green eyes of the Dread Knight!
"The Dread Knight! has answered your petty summons. Now, you have ten seconds to make me care before I start breaking things!"
"Lady-."
"Slower!"
"...Lady. Sataire. Is. Ill."
"Right. I'll grab some rope and a cinder block, you rent a boat, and we take a little trip out to the middle of Caldemer Lake. And we never speak of this again."
"No!"
"No?"
"No, she's undead! She passed out in the hall and we don't know how to treat her! I only need you to tell me if there's anything particular we have to do," Grimmalt snapped, rising to his feet and gesturing at the woman before him.
The burning green eyed figure hummed thoughtfully. Scratching at the armour about his face, he slowly approached the comatose death knight. The Dread Knight leaned over her, inches from her face as he examined Sataira's rotting features..

Straz reached the bottom level and looked around. "Now...where are they?" He mused, and turned as a hiss came from behind him; one of his servants were oozing out of a crack in the wall and dropped down, bowing. It pointed at the crack and Mathias walked over to it and looked closely. "I can smell something in there." He told Drakkus then looked at the servant. "How thick is this?" He asked.
The creature made another group of hisses and he nodded. "I think we'll need some of your friends Drakkus; it's too thick for me to batter through, and my shadows won't be able to rip it free like I did up above."

"It's truly tragic when I'm the one being called on for muscle." The skeleton mused, flexing his humerus and ulna visible through his robes sarcastically.
Casting a quick glance over the surroundings, the undead wandered over to what appeared to be the remains of a few trolls who had failed to escape the keep during the initial occupation. Drakkus gestures at the bodies, foul and sepulchral green and black magics enwrapping his hands and the corpses. With several guttural words that would make a listener feel unclean merely by hearing them, the bodies jerked upright, muscle and sinew hanging off between gaps of the flesh straining as the corpses shambled towards the wall.
"Just tell me what to do," he advised.

"Have them start pulling here." Straz said, and punched a section near the crack hard with his metal fist, stone chips flying. "Find some metal bars." He ordered his shadow servants, who scattered. "I think we can rip it open, if we work at it."

"That's just what my grandma always used to say." Drakkus snapped his fingers. The four raised trolls immediately began to heave at the stone, bony fingers working between the cracks and tugging earnestly.

Straz took a few steps back to give the trolls room, and to wait on his servants to return. He smiled a little, thinking of what was behind the wall. After about 20 minutes, the servants began to trickle back in, carrying metal rods which they gave to the trolls to help them work faster.

"Heave you lazy bastards! Heave! Put your back into it! Not literally you clod!" Drakkus shouted form the sidelines at the labouring trolls.

"Keep working!" Straz yelled at his servants, watching as the shadow creatures worked at the top of the crack, widening it farther. "You know," He said conversationally to Drakkus. "I'd just blow the wall open, but as we don't know what's back there, that might be a very bad idea."

"Archaelogy is just tomb robbing with the label of noble thrown on it after all," Drakkus agreed. "Put some effort into it you dogs!" He barked at the undead.

"Indeed." Mathias said, watching as the crack was steadily widened. "The servants have said there isn't anything alive, but they don't like being in there...and that's a little worrying to me. Those things are nearly indestructible, and if something can put more of a fear of God into them I do, I'm just trying to plan ahead."

"A wise policy, though I'm not particularly concerned. As long as I can outrun you, it'll be fine."

"Who was it who had the issues with the stairs?" Straz asked, raising an eyebrow at the undead. He looked back at the crack as a group of the shadow servants knocked a piece of stone free, almost crushing one of the trolls. "Watch it!" He yelled at them.

"Duly noted." Straz said, and moved over to the wall, looking in at the opening. "A little bit larger and we should be able to fit in." He told the other.

"Roger. Right, you heard him. Heave you ugly bastards! Use what muscles you have left!" Drakkus bellowed at the zombies. They moaned in acknowledgement, pulling with all their unholy might at the stone.

Straz stepped back to let the undead trolls work on the hole, while his shadow servants continued to widen the tunnel from the opposite side.

"How's that?" Drakkus asked after some time had passed.

"Perfect." Straz said, and motioned his servants out of the way, the shadowy creatures pulling the undead trolls out of the line of fire as well. The human raised his flesh and blood hand and sent out a wave of shadow that finished off the tunnel, and braced it. "Come on then, let's see what we've found." He said over to his shoulder to Drakkus as he entered the chamber.
