Rise of The Undead Legion Chapter 250

They entered some caverns deeper in the mine where hundreds, maybe thousands of stalactites hung from the ceiling . Each stalactite looked like it was made from drippings of fresh blood . Here and there some of the crimson formations descended all the way to the floor of the cave, in pillar-like formation .
Dave raised a fist and the group stopped .
Light flickered in a room at the far end of the tunnel cavern . Shouts, clanging and loud hisses came from inside . There was a fight going on in there .
Dave patted Grumpy's head, "Let's stay out of sight until we attack whatever is in there from ambush . "
He didn't know how many monsters were inside the mines, but judging by the screams there had to be at least dozens of workers in there .
Grumpy moved in, when he was a short distance from the door a battered imp crawled out of the room . It was battered and looked like its lower body had been burned away with a blow torch . The flesh was completely charred, flaking off and leaving a trail of blood and ash .
The imp didn't even notice the looming basilisk, it continued to drag itself forward with clawed hands . . . until Grumpy raised a foot and stomped on the imp's head, turning it into a wet stain on the ground .
"Time to get it stuck in, let's go Boyz!" Dave said . He nudged Grumpy to move forward .
Inside the room, ten red lizards the size of horses . Two of the lizards were biting and ripping apart a screaming imp between their jagged fangs . A lizard was chasing after a running imp and shot gouts of flames whenever the imp was in range . Three demons in the center of the room stood back to back in the fighting off against six lizards in a desperate and losing battle .
Dave inspected one of the creatures .

On the other side of the room, facing the entrance was a hole, a tunnel, where previously there was a cave in .
"Don't attack the demons, let them leech aggro for us, Dave called . . "
Dave wanted to exploit the demons' fight for survival so he could kill off the solo salmanaders before fighting the grouped up ones . .
Dave dropped his arm to point forward, and the basilisks charged into the room, trampling the salamanders . The salamanders screeched and hissed in surprise . Two of the Chaos reptiles scuttled toward Grumpy . The onyx basilisk lashed out with his tail, the spiked end smashing into the closer salamander's face, leaving it stunned and injured .

The second salamander jumped at Grumpy, but Dave angled his shield to intercept and the oversized gecko was bounced back by his [Block] . The attack neutralized, Dave swung down with his flamberge, hacking at the salamander's skull .
-28,888
Two paladins ran over and stood in front of Grumpy facing the salamanders .
A pair of basilisks rushed at the low HP salamander . The reptile backed away fearfully, but the basilisks continued after it intent on ganging up on the smaller monster . The retreating salamander was backed up against a wall . Realizing that there was no escape, the lizard growled and coughed a gout of flames at the basilisks . The basilisks grunted and stepped back, startled by the flames blasting into their faces . In cooperative retaliation the basilisks swung their tails around and caved the salamander's head in from both sides .
"These things are too short to reach from up here, buddy," Dave patted Grumpy then jumped his back, sword out and pointed at the salamander .

Dave dodged an oncoming salamander's claws just as a paladin jumped past him to block a second salamander's attack . But Dave couldn't dodge the first monster's follow up with its tongue, and he grunted as the whip-like attack slashed across his torso .

You have been struck by the Chaos Salamander's [Tongue Lash]
Your undead state grants you immunity to poison .
The poison from [Tongue Lash] has no effect on you .

"That hurt!" Dave said .
A wave of relief swept across his draugr body, the heal coming from the unholy priestess, still riding on Grumpy .
+20,000
"Thanks," Dave yelled as he slashed sideways at a salamander .
The reptile dodged the attack and lunged at Dave again . Dave sidestepped and stomped on the lizard's head in [Mikiri Counter] then plunged his sword into the reptile's back . Hot blood gushed from the reptile as it squirmed in pain .
-66,220
Then Grumpy followed up with his spiked tail-mace, taking a quarter of the salamander's HP .
Dave looked towards the center of the room, all the demons were dead and the salamanders that had been fighting them were now coming his way . A few of the imps were trying to escape but the salamanders didn't seem interested in them anymore .
"Basilisks, make it rain!" Dave gave a command .
The seven basilisks inhaled deeply, their torsos bloated up like puffer-fish and they grunted as they blew hundreds of sharp spikes all over the room . The spikes went through Dave and his allies harmlessly but stuck in crates, walls and monsters doing full damage .
The imps still in the room were impaled to death, along with two of the nine chaos salamanders . A few seconds later the spikes faded away, leaving fist-sized holes everywhere . Dave and Grumpy faced down two salamanders alone while the other basilisks hunted the remaining salamanders as a group .
The salamander Dave was facing spat a gout of flame at him . Dave huddled behind his shield and used [Block], then chopped at the salamander after the flame guttered out .
-33,000
Dave used [Destructive Smash], stunning the salamander, which left it completely defenseless against Grumpy's tail-mace attack, which ended the reptile's life . Dave jumped on the remaining salamander's back and started hacking away at it like he was chopping wood .
Dog's basilisk came charging in and rammed into one of the salamanders . The azure basilisk spun around, tail whipping at nearby reptiles, opening flesh and crushing bones .
Three salamanders backed away and turned, fleeing through the new tunnel . Dave used [Immortal Apparition] to teleport in front of the other salamanders and intercept their escape, applying a [Horror] effect on them . A black skull icon appeared above the monsters as they ran from the terrifying draugr .
The other basilisks converged on the two escaping salamanders and crushed them under their feet and the last of the monsters were dispatched by the paladins .
"Great job everyone," Dave praised his group . Then he went to loot the remains of the salamanders, imps, and demons .

"Tch, nothing great here . Priestess, heal us up, so we can get going . " Dave said .
The unholy priestess raised her scepter and cast a dark aura over the group, rapidly regenerating their HP to full .
They moved into the newly cleared tunnel and Dave received a notification .
