Neen dropped to the ground quickly and stood still with her gun drawn until the giddy sensation from the teleportation passed. Sliver wobbled unsteadily beside her and fell to an awkward sitting position. His left eye was now completely closed over and he spat out some blood and a tooth. Meanwhile Heliodor had collapsed beside her completely unconscious. Vassal scampered over to him, completely unaffected by the teleportation and tried his best to wake him.
Neen quickly scanned their surroundings and to her relief they had materialised in a city side street and for a change it was completely free of undead.
“Where are we?” winced Sliver.
“Vassal take care of Heliodor while I scout around,” ordered Neen.
“There is no need. We are standing over the ruins of Gorgak of that I can assure you.”
“How do you know for sure?” asked Sliver sceptically.
“Because I am the only one who ever escaped Gorgak alive and the magic that curses me was conjured here. Many bad memories here...”
“If that’s true then we only have one chance left to stop Gravlok. We have to find the mass graves before he does,” said Neen. Vassal reached into his satchel and pulled out a mobile tablet. He placed his hand flat on top of it and spoke the words of an enchantment.
“Here take this,” he replied, handing it to Neen. “It will guide you there. The rest is up to you. I will follow with Heliodor as soon as we can.”
Neen took the tablet and studied it. A large green arrow pointed off to her left. As she spun the tablet around in her hand the green arrow stayed pointing in the same direction.
“It looks like I have an enchanted compass. I guess it’s time to finish this job.”
“Just make sure you don’t you don’t get between me and that orc because I want his head,” said Sliver as he rose unsteadily to his feet.
“You are in no condition to fight.”
“I have been in worse states than this and still killed plenty of people Neen. Besides, there is no way I am letting you get your hands on that elixir all by yourself. I might be in love, but I am not stupid!”
“Fine you ass hat, but if you get in my way I am going to put a white light round in your crippled ass!”
