Chapter 12: Dr. Bones runs from plants

It is commonly agreed that one of the most useful skills in all the dimensions that exist is running away. Running away may not solve all of one’s problems, but as far as preserving your life (or unlife as the case may be) goes, it is hard to catch up to.

Dr. Bones wasn’t going to stick around to become imprisoned for who knows what. He suspected fire would be effective against the bramble familiars, but he had the uneasy feeling that with the way the air was, some fire would become quite a quantity more than ‘some’.

He began to run, because before putting too much thought into it, there was a massive bramble maw behind him. More than a little intimidating that. He managed to pass by two familiars before they could react, and before the Maw filling the corridor behind him got moving.

Skeletal undead tend to be a bit speedier than other forms of unlife. Many undead with more flesh actually tend to have poor compatibility with their own flesh, thus resulting the situation of creeping or lurching dead.

Aiding Dr. Bones in his gauntlet past an unreasonable number of bramble familiars were his wings. More than once he flapped into the air to avoid one of the plantoids trying to cage him. He was a little glad that the things were just trying to catch him, rather than break his bones into pieces.

Becoming fertilizer is admittedly what many beings do, but generally they’re truly dead at that stage.

He began to get a bit of a rhythm going, almost dancing between the familiars. It would have been quite stress freeā€¦ if not for the giant maw crashing through behind him. Now Dr. Bones could have probably made his escape, but since the records were destroyed, there was one other thing he might be able to get information from.

He wasn’t about to be caged to get to it though.

It was time to find the source of the brambles, and Dr. Bones suspected that the source was in the heart of the lab.
