Wake up party

The battle had ended but there was no sign of Prudence or Gè Míng anywhere and Tral had gone into a blood coma from drinking too much leaving Darick and what was left of the ghouls which he eventually executed despite their best efforts to eat him.

He dragged his friend back to the truck only to find it split in two leaving him to walk till he came by a run down cabin to hunker down in for the rest of the night.

After throwing Tral into the cellar to sleep off his overeating Darick crashed on the couch in the main room to immediately fall asleep.

It wasn't until well into the afternoon that he woke up with a start. Everything was calm but he was still very much on edge from all that happened in the night so he got up to look around for some food which lead to him having to go out to hunt.

When he got back with a deer over his shoulder the cabin was occupied by a lot of very eager gangsters in leather and reapers patches on their backs and shoulders.

There was a couple familiar faces in the group as the high elf punk was talking to a big female orc over eight feet tall covered in vividly glowing tattoos. "See boss I told ya they came this way, my tracking spell doesn't lie. It was this guy and some little brat that messed up the van."

Darick casually tossed the deer aside with a remark "You reaper gang sure do get around, how many of you bozo's does a guy have to kill to get you to realize you're out matched?"

This doesn't seem to threaten them as they quickly start chanting "Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill" as many of them start to faintly glow with their own tattoos that begin to drain their life force to pump their bodies full of raw power.

Darick starts to take a step back before the leader sends out a kick that throws him out the door at high speed to crash through a couple trees before stopping.

The gang rushes out in a swarm after him as he gets back to his feet swinging a fist into the nearest ones face to find that he is a little stronger but is quickly overwhelmed as they knock him around in a bully circle which he is able to get the odd punch back due to them not actually injuring him.

This situation only pisses them off more as they eventually hold him down as cutting and stabbing don't seem to work either.

Out of the cabin strolls the boss orc with a bellow "Boys! Settle down now everything dies (which elicits further chanting of "Dies"). If this one has a power to keep him in one piece then we get the fun of testing it out eh.. so let's start with a big ol bonfire and move our way through the many ways of DEATH!"

This order sets off a cacophony of cheers and chanting as the ones not holding Darick in place start gathering wood into a massive pile.

They then wrap him in chains despite his struggles to pull him into onto the top while pouring gas around the edges.

The leader lights up a torch before giving a speech "This one here thinks that cause he got a neat power he can't die but even if he can handle the worst this world has to offer, the Reaper will still come for him in the end! On a pale horse he rides and we will lead death in our wake for him to find us! Everything Dies!" She cries out throwing torch into the ring of gas while her followers chant "Everything dies!" over and over with many of them firing guns into the air or at Darick.

The bonfire quickly heats up as the flames rise higher up the pile to make Darick start to sweat profusely. The gangs excitement escalates the closer to him the fire burns closing in on all sides.

Darick is starting to freak out now tugging on his chains as he has never really tested how resistant to fire he actually is other then the casual liquor fire but knows that it is definitely an unpleasant amount of heat and smoke.

The party reaches a fevered peak with the fire consuming him when someone doses their fun with a hefty amount of cold water appearing above everyone pushing them back into a sobbing wet pile in all directions.

The Leader doesn't get knocked over and yells with all her fury "Hey who the hell did that? Get your punk ass out of hiding so I can show you what you get for messing with my party."

There is no reply as the only sound is the disgruntled soaking wet gang members who are cursing and looking around for the culprit.

As soon as they get to their feet the sky starts filling with metal spheres that start crashing into the bewildered reaper crew rapidly cracking skulls as they gain speed for their fall although the members with glowing runes simply bat them out of the air with a display of strength.

As this goes on, in the distance the sun begins to set and voice echos from various places in the surrounding trees. "Reapers get reaped" over and over but when any of them run after the sounds, it triggers bouncing betties that tear into their faces.

One of the members cries out "We've been had boss these are just a bunch of speakers on a loop out here" he claims as he lifts one up to show everyone only to have it explode in his hand.

The leader quickly orders them to organize "Form up on me you twats, there is a crafty bugger setting traps cause they are too scared to show themselves. Mage get to your finding on before I send you to the reaper myself!"

The elf replies immediately "All ready on it boss. It looks like the only other energy is coming from the cabin."

The leader roars at this information " well what are you lot waiting for? The fool can't very well blow themselves up so get in there and killm dead!"

At this several gangsters charge into the cabin followed by the sound of battle cries and a few horrific screams before everything becomes deathly quiet again.

This silence persists for a time as the remaining members don't quite know what to do although they start to have a fight on their hands outside as well when Darick rises from the rubble to use the chains that bind him as whips to crack at some of the closer gangsters causing serious injury but the boss ignores this as she stares intently at the door to the cabin where a silhouette stands covered in blood smiling to expose his sharp teeth.

She gasped and quickly looked towards the sun as it just finished it's descent over the horizon.
