From the unkown depths a group emerges, they are on a quest that would freeze the blood of even a dauntless hero. Their eyes survey a blighted world
The concept of the characters is the skeleton was part of a dark and long forgotten lost-empire. It was steeped in ancient magic that perserved it and as time passed a small biome formed around and inside of it- trudging the dark underworld. Somehow, the synthesis of the various dungeon monsters created an opening for a small wisp of the skeleton's conscious mind to bubble to the surface. Imperceptible yet.
The gnome is a necromancer. I think the name Valkilak suits him but I'm not married to it. He found the skeleton-artifact and using magic he's bound it to himself and rides it as a seven-fold force multiplier. The skeleton can use weapons, with grace and speed that magic can't replicate in undead skeleton warriors, a lost art. The various creatures fused with the skeleton can serve as weapons and remote sensors.
The Gobln is Valkilak's minion, I'm calling her "RatSlayer" for now.
What are your suggestions? Comments, critique very appreciated. What story would you tell about the image or what adventures do you think Valkilak and his retinue will see?
