Orion left the cellar and walked around the abandoned building.It was an abandoned medival settings with tapestries signifying a sort of family crest along with suits of armour on armour racks.
Every so often he would come across a necromancer.They seemed surprised by his behaviour but didn't pay it too much mind.They simply carried on with their work.
Now that Orion could take a closer look at them he could see that they wore special robes and wielded staffs or wands.All the equipment they wore seemed enchanted with magical effects.
Orion was annoyed that he didn't have an assessment skill but he wasn't too bothered since he could still feel the power in them.
Orion could also see the bare faces and heads of the necromancers when they had their hoods off and noticed that they had weird glyph like tattoos.
Orion deducted that it was probably to aid the circulation of mana around the body or some other foul purpose.
Orion was noticed by two necromancers when he entered a sort of bedroom.They simply looked at him with curiosity thinking he was a bit intelligent for a skeleton.They then got annoyed and creeped out by Orions staring.
"Oy if you don't stop staring at us I will take control of you and make you clean the latrine."said one of the necromancers much to Orions dismay.
It didn't take long for Orion to leave the room altogether.He didn't want to be put under control and lose his freedom.Let alone in order to clean a toilet!!!.
Orion continued to wander the supposed medival castle and found himself in a large room.It appeared to be a large room filled with long tables filled with food and long chairs filled with necromancers who were having all sorts of conversations.
"Those goblins are getting far too bold and their starting to look weird.It must be the fog to the North that's coming from that broken out dungeon.I'm worried about the future of our cult if the fog expands down here."
"You ought to consider yourself lucky that we haven't been attacked by orcs or high orcs.They haven't attacked in years or left their Skaals mountain range in ages but we're long overdue for an attack by them."
"Have you heard?.Secthir says we only need a few more sacrifices in order to summon Lord Varimathras into this world.We just need to attack one more trading caravan to collect the bodies for the ritual and our dream will finally come true."
Suddenly there was a voice that seemed to target Orion in the mass of voices that Orion heard.
"There you are I've been looking for you."said an annoyed looking Vousch as he walked towards Orion
All the voices in the hall immediately stopped and everyone's attention was turned towards the necromancer/skeleton duo.They looked on with amusement and began pointing and speaking.
"Look its that failure Vousch and the skeleton he made.How adorable to fail so miserably."
"That's the abnormally smart skeleton I told you about.It was straight up walking into people's rooms and staring at them as they slept."
"Really that's so creepy."
"Where did the skeleton even get that staff."
"I heard Vousch was put in charge of putting down the prisoners but I heard his going to force the skeleton to do it."
"That's so cruel making the skeleton kill his former associates but at least it's lost its intellect and personality."
Vousch looked visibly annoyed at the remarks about the skeleton and his competence and behaviour.He then gestured for the skeleton to follow him which Orion did.Everyone simply looked on as they left and then moved back with their conversations.
Orion and Vousch walked down some corridors and down some flights of stairs until they found themselves in a dungeon but not the loot dropping kind.It was the kind where prisoners were trapped and or tortured.
Orion could see cages some of which were empty and some of which were full with prisoners that had wounds and marks all over them along with patches of missing skin.
There were tables lined with torture instruments and tools.Some of which Orion had never even seem before or imagined before.It would no doubt be painful to use this on somebody.
Vousch then stopped at a certain cage and looked at the person inside of it.
"Captain I'm here to administer your death."
The man inside the cage was a sorry sight as it appeared he had been crippled and tortured painfully.He had a gaunt physique and patches of missing skin and his tendons were cut.
The husk of a man then looked up and said.
"Hurry up then I've had enough of the torture."
"Oh don't worry but the one doing the killing will be your old research subject."said Vousch in a sadistic voice as he saw the emaciated man prisoner look up I surprise.
