Year Two: “Victor Dalton and the Archdevil’s Chambers.”

“This is an excellent idea for an artifact,” Isabelle Maure said. “But without Hell’s Prime Contract to which all souls are bound, it will never work. You will need to summon and convince all demons of the Ars Goetia.”

“Can you teach me?” Victor asked, waiting for the foul price she would certainly ask.

“Yes,” she sensually crossed her legs. “But not for free.”

“I have nothing to offer,” Victor began his well-oiled speech. “But my body and soul!”

“Then strip.”

“... and that is how you animate a flesh golem,” Camilla told Victor, as the necromancer sewed dozens of corpses into a single giant. “As you can see, while the process is similar to animating zombies, the crossing of necrotic streams makes it much more difficult…”

“You call that a deathtrap?” Deathjester complained, after examining the poisoned bloody spikes. “You aren’t supposed to give the captive an escape route! Again!”

What? That was thirty of them so far! How many trapped hallways would Victor have to design before he gained a level in [Architect]?

Congratulations! For judiciously training your soul-fu, you earned a level in [Reaper]!
