— A risen corpse? Here? Were there mages about using blood magic to summon undead? Or perhaps there was a Fade Rift nearby. Either way, Morrigan couldn’t simply allow this creature to live. She drew the staff from her back and pointed it at the skeleton.
“Return to your grave, foul creature, or I shall have your head!” In all honesty, Morrigan felt completely helpless. She hadn’t been able to summon so much as a puff of smoke since she arrived, and her crow form would be of little use against a corpse who was already so far decomposed that only bones remained. Perhaps she could swing her staff hard enough to separate the pieces, then attempt a ritual to unbind the bones. For the moment, all she could do was stall for time while she came up with a plan.
