With Kuublu no longer between him and the spectre, Chiemeka will either attempt to back up the stairs (if possible) or, failing that, will cast Warding on himself and try to stay alive as long as possible.

Kuublu strikes out with the sceptre but it seems to pass through the horrific form without causing harm, Chiemeka curses as he see's the ancient spirit overcome his sorcery, Ak'kululu hesitates unsure of what to do as Etwa cowers holding the ivory before him.

Pulgil hobbles painfully to the base of the stairs and draws her bow with a little trepidation she nocks one of the arrows they found in the tomb and releases it at the spectral form.

Kuublu see's the arrow coming straight at his face through the translucent spirit but it sinks into the non-flesh and the dead thing screams and turns toward Pulgil with hate in its eyes..

Kuublu drops the sceptre, with nothing else effective he eyes the Assegai arrayed around the ancient Queen. Perhaps they have the powers of the spirits?...

Kuublu will manoevre around and behind the spectre and make his way to grab one of those nine assegai.

With no room to manouvre on the stairs Kuublu follows Pulgils lead and leaps from them down to the hard stone floor, he lands better than her and sprints across the room towards the throne and its silent occupant ringed by the impossibly balanced spears.

Kuublu runs across and snatches up one of the ironwood spears, he is momentarily disconcerted to notice that the shadow he cast the moment he plucked up the spear is still there etched against the stone floor. He turns back toward the stairs.

Pulgil fires again but her arrow goes astray and plunges into the stone wall to quiver there, Chiemeka mutters strange syllables and an eldritch light plays about his form for a moment. Ak'kululu follows Kuublu down to the floor rolling easily to his feet leaving only Chiemeka and Etwa on the stairs....but the spectral form ignores the two and strides down the stairs toward Pulgil and Kuublu its eyes burning with hate.

Kuublu is momentaril startled when he sees his 'signature' imprinted on the ground.

He manoevres to the side so that Pulgil can get a better shot. He bars the way so that the spirit can't advance upon her. He strikes whilst silently praying that this spear will hurt it.

The spectral form strides down towards Kuublu and Pulgil, Ak'kululu sprints over to the ring of spears but is momentarily stymied when he sees Kuublus shadow there frozen on the stone floor and his hand hesitates to take an assegai.

Etwa has a tight grip on Chiemekas arm and is shaking with fright....

Pulgil releases another arrow and it sinks into the spectral form drawing another hateful scream from the thing, Kuublu jumps forward narrowly avoiding the ghostly spear and plunging his own into its translucent form.

Time stopped and the spectral wisps turned midnight black and for a moment Kuublu could make out a stern male face no longer distorted and stretched and then the shadows folded in upon themselves and with a last echoing gasp the spirit vanished, Pulgils two arrows clattered to the stone ground.

"GONE!?!?!"

Kuublu raises his spear and spins around in case it remateralizes behind him. After long moments he relaxes and gestures to the others before lowering his new weapon....


He goes to where he picked up the Assegai. Looks alarmed. He still has his own shadow right?


"My thanks to my ancestors, and all the spirits and gods who have guided us on this journey!"

Kuublu looks to the motionless figure of the ancient female monarch. He looks to Etwa.

"...Is she?..."

Chiemeka helps (half carries) Etwa down the stairs to look at the statue.

Etwa struggles away from Chiemeka, the former horror replaced with reverence as he approaches the circle of spears, he looks back at Kuublu, " Yes, it is her. Queen Ndar."

" The wretch on the stairs I do not know, the stories tell nothing of the man....perhaps he was once Nogrus husband, or another sibling.....I know not."

He turned back to stare at the throne.

Chiemeka stood beside him as Pulgil and Ak came up beside Kuublu, Chiemeka was astounded to see it was no statue....the woman reclining on the throne was not carved from wood or stone and as he watched, slowly....ever so slowly, her breast rose and fell.....

Kuublu drops to his knees and lowers his head as a mark of respect. "Our thanks Queen Ndar, may your rest be eternal, for if mans heart fails and evil rises I know it will be an age of war that would devastate the lands. I pledge myself to serve the ideals that were spoken, to encourage men not to war against one another and make peace! To defend the weak and innocent and lay down those that disturb our peace!"

Kuublu raises the assegai with both hands. After what seems like a long pause he backs up to a standing position and looks to the others.


OOC: Lets loot.

Chiemeka stands and stares at the statue, before Kuublu's words shake him out of his stunned silence. He turns to the others.

"Did you see that? Is she... alive..? How can that be?"

"A curse, an obligation to protect the people. If mans heart fails him and evil spreads across the land, she will be obliged to rise and defend the people. Queen Ndar remains amongst the living and never to rest until her destiny is fulfilled. Such was the stories passed through the generations by word of mouth."

OOC: Lets loot!
