[New Spell] Blazing, Bouncing Skull

Blazing, Bouncing Skull

Olmhi’s eyes widened as she saw the necromancer Xalgix holding a chattering skull in one hand. Xalgix smiled.

‘What is that going to do?’ Murgi asked as the thief picked up on the priestess’ fear.

‘You don’t want to know, let’s go!’ Olhmi urged, tugging at the sleeve of Murgi’s jerkin.

Unfortunately the hirelings were not as perceptive. Three porters and a torchbearer were dead before the skull nipped at Olmhi, leaving a burning bitemark on her arm before Murgi knocked it away and out a window.
