The Catacombs

---Oblivion---

You open the bloody letter, taking it out of your Mini-Reaper's hands. It reads as follow:

"Dear Oblivion, my name is The Network. First of all, I will address what you must be worried about. Don't worry, any information I found about your location, I will keep to myself. I can tell you one thing. You ARE very hard to find. I'm sure that's a good thing for you.

Anyway, you must be wondering what this letter is about. It is simple, I'm trying to start an initiative that allows all villains to communicate with each other through untraceable mental messages. The heroes always work together, it's time we do the same.

Of course, I cannot ask you to trust me or anyone who will be part of this, but know that this will only allow you to gain information or ask for help.

If you wish to join my initiative, all you need to do is sign the runestone and you will be able to talk with any other person whom signed it. Feel free to ask your henchmen, if you have any, to sign it too.

Finally, if the messenger made it to you alive, it is expendable. You can do whatever you want with it."

You look around... All this blood... Whoever the messenger was, the reapers probably already killed it.

Oblivion signs the runestone... If this whole thing works, he definitely has no new feelings or no sensing of powerful energies to confirm it. He'd just have to believe and see if it works it seems...

Oblivion leaves the stone behind and starts wandering in the catacombs alone, having not asked any of his Mini-Reapers to follow him. He walks around the places he already explored, doesn't find the green reapers for now, but he do finds a lot of body parts in an alcove... One of which is a decapitated head with a sewn mouth... Must have been the so called messenger.

Wether Oblivion wants to do anything with it or not, the green reapers are definitely not in already explored areas. Oblivion would have to go in unexplored tunnels and risk getting lost.

Oblivion's growls seems to be heard far into the catacombs, as a few reapers come right to him all the way from his crypt.

The big armor, followed by a group of his minions starts walking around unexplored tunnels, in search for critters whom disappeared.

Oblivion ends up finding quite a weird sight... Right in the middle of a tunnel is a table. Around the table are fives chairs. On the five chairs, there are five individuals wearing fancy clothes, playing some card game. Probably poker, as there are many tokens on the table... Gold coins to be precise. It is unclear if they are replicas or if they are the real deal.

Oblivion being quite heavy, the five individuals turn in his direction. With a closer look, it seems these people are skeletons. They look at each other, as if everything was normal.

"Hum... Hello? Who are you?"

As they are basically already dead, the skeletons doesn't seem to care about any cues of dangers and don't even try to avoid what's happening to the right now. The dark lightning invades the area around the table, breaking it into pieces, sending pieces of wood everywhere. One of the skeletons is hit in full, breaking into pieces on the ground, the head, torso, arms and legs all separate. Three of the others lose limbs, two an arm, the other now on the floor from falling from his chair, unable to stand back up from having one leg.

The last one seems somewhat more fortunate, not having received any significant damage. It stands up and starts running away.

"NO! I CAN'T DIE AGAIN? WHAT EVEN HAPPENS IF I DIE AGAIN?!"

The mini reapers follows it through a tunnel, laughing.

The other 4, yes, including the head on the floor seem to casually be yelling at Oblivion, obviously unaware that you were actually trying to intimidate them. They all seem to yell about different things, so Oblivion is very unsure on wether they're trying to scold him, arguing with each other or scared.

One thing for sure, these 4 are not scared yet.
