Absalom, the half-zombie, twitches and jerks as he stands there in the shadows, facing the trio of Barns, Eldrie, and Osmond. There's something deeply discomforting in the way he shuffles about, somewhere between life and death. At least his mind is intact.
"Changing…"
"Absalom, you okay?" Barns frowns. "What are you talking about, anyway?"
The former Zombie Lord shambles toward the three of them, holding his arms out.
"The Lord of the Horde is different than…what I was," Absalom quivers. "He speaks to the First directly. The First speaks to him…"
Barns has many questions - including about this 'First Undead' that has been mentioned so many times. But Absalom does not appear to be in the mood to answer questions as he flails about, consumed by his madness.
