We had been getting reports of a town of skeleton monsters sprouting up in the prairie expanse from a large amount of adventurers and we had to deal with it skeletons were almost as big of a scourge as ants the leader of the town is normaly a general or wizard type and both felt as if the monsters they raised were thier flesh and blood children and had to protect them at any cost
The wizards were more anoying to deal with early on because of thier powerful death magic but any of the twenty five types of skeletons classified as generals were terrifying to fight as they upon thier first evolution they are gifted a magic blowing horn capable of reviving any corpses nearby as skeletons witch after a heated battle were plentiful so the growth of the town was so explosive that after one battle it was strong enough to take over an entire expanse in the matter of a month or two
By our estimations the town should have around twenty five to thirty members in side of it but that number could be inacurate as some towns advance at greater rates than others but this one either got lucky and spawned a monster that knew how to build walls or knew how to it's self witch has never been observed in the dungeon before so this was less than likely
A scribe came hastily walking into my study looking rather worried and nervous he was bringing me the scouts reports that i had requested the results were infuriating the scout party antagonized the leader of the town further more they only saw two of the monster inside normally if the leader is not overly paranoid they will let people inside the town if requested but those damnable fools had to go running thier mouths about how they were going to destoroy them if we don't wipe out this town immediately they very well may become openly hostile to humanity
I sent out an open invitation through the guild for any capable fighters certified to go deep enough in the first ring to join our extermanation quest and the turn out was much more than expected a the knights of the deep even sent out an entire regiment of thier blood eagel skirmishers and a small detachment of elite berserkers to aid in dealing with our shared problem the only problem i can forsee with my skill is that we are either over or underestimating our foe my unique skill forsight is the whole reason i was promoted to the post of guild master in the first place but i can only see a small vauge glimpse into the future but it is still very useful to use just before a highstakes battle
After my somewhat foreboding vision i went to go talk to some old connections i have in some not so lawful interprises to see if i could hire a few extra soliders for our attack and thats exactly what i did i hired at least 100 thugs and robbers to act as a last ditch rear guard for the army to catch any fleeing skeletons and if the others were to fall they would go in to sweep up the stragglers thier servaces weren't cheap for what i got they were entitled to a sixtey percent share of the resources found in the town as well as 10,000 moria for the trouble of helping us in our endervours
I sent off the army to wipe out the skeleton town and then went back to my tasks for the day carrying out exams approving or denying applications to become an adventurer my work is tiring and teidious but i enjoy it i still can't sake the feeling that something really bad is about to happen but i try to dismiss it as mere paranoia and go to get some lunch to take my mind off of what was happening down in the world beneath my feet the food was bland and flavourless compared to what i eat in the dungeon witch is full of mana but it was the best i could obtain at this time after the raid the praire expanse will be safe enough to hunt demon pain cows again at that point i would celebrate
After i got back to my office i sit at my desk and read the report that was left o it and it was from the criminals i hired for some reason the contents stated that almost the entire army was massacred before the had even breached the gate and tha the few that got inside were crushed with boulders and peirced with spears before the could do much of any damage when the commander of the forces saw that he charged into the town before the leader jumped from a tower on top of him and then beat him to death with a hide bag filled with stones
reading this made me feel disgusted and enraged but i knew i couldn't do anthing about it my class forteller lets me see to the future but my hp is at 20 and all my stats are capped at 20 so i'm not strong at all i can't even kill a hatchling ant monster unless i wail on it for twenty minutes and even then thats assuming it doen't hit me back it would kill me quicker than i could kill it
the only thing i can do is give the familys of the the solidiers my condolances and forbid traver to the prairie expanse i also put up several notices on the boards ay the guild to tell any skeletons they see that they arent hostile and don't want to kill them i know the muscle headed idiots wouldn't listen but i could try and then at least i could say i tried and they didn't listento my warnings i just hope the leader dosen't hold a grudge
