Rose studied the two sisters and wondered what she should do. She knew that people had to stick around together to survive in a situation like this, but she didn't want to work with those she deemed too naive.
As Rose's and Helena's groups considered their next move, Jason suddenly reappeared, accompanied by a horde of skeleton knights. The sight of the undead minions carrying various tools and materials caught them by surprise, but it didn't take long for them to connect the dots.
Realization dawned on Rose and Helena as they observed Jason and his undead entourage. They understood now how he had summoned them and why he had crafted such a grotesque staff. It was all part of his plan to control the undead and use them to gather resources.
