Zuril Gozin
Fenris Isle
"Did I hear somebody saying Rot Hide?" - came a booming voice from the door. Zuril stood there, holding some unlucky gnoll. - "This one made a mistake of drooling on my claymore."
"Oh, my dear Zuril, I cannot imagine my life without you." - chuckled Hascakkin. - "Hey, Rot Hide! Catch!"
He threw a jar with a Defiler inside at the gnoll, whose clumsy paws simply were not able to catch it. The jar broke and the Defiler leaped at gnoll's head, nesting itself as if it was a weird-looking mask. Gnoll howled painfully as what little was left of its fur fell down, revealing now purple and pulsing skin. Two additional arms sprouted from its sides, and the fingers were now more like tentacles. Before the infested gnoll could do anything Zuril grabbed him and lifted from the ground, just in case.

"That's disturbing", Leera murmured. The creature squirmed in Zuril's grip, trying to get lose, but the felguard's massive hands held it firmly. Leera went closer to get a better look. "An undead creature being
infested
like this? Master Hascakkin, find out if it retains it's resistances and weaknesses please", she said in a formal and scientific tone. "Jessie, stand back a little!" she added, taking a few steps back herself.

"With pleasure, Mistress Leera." - grinned the warlock.
"Flame." - a ball of pure elemental fire flew out of Hascakkin's hand and blasted into the infested gnoll. Several seconds later, what looked like a hole full of small, sharp teeth opened in the Defiler's body and with a loud "Squeeeeee!" a small cloud of smoke came out.
"Fel." - a bolt of acid green lightning impaled the gnoll. The Defiler immediately sprouted six eyes of the same color. Moreover, all four arms became thicker and longer, and now green veins could be seen under the skin.
"Shadow." - a black orb flew to the monster, who now devoured it with its horrible mouth. As it let out another howl Hascakkin raised his scythe to finish the gnoll. Seconds before the ice blast destroyed the creature shuddered suddenly and spoke with the same thick Nerubian accent that Hascakkin sometimes acquired. - "
Mercy, I beg you, master!
"

"Did I hear that right? It called you
master
?" Leera said surprisedly. "This is becoming even more interesting. It clearly shows that the Defiler, I approve the name by the way, has taken over the undead body but the merged creature is
not
undead. This brings us two conclusions: one, it's nothing like anything I've ever seen, and two, I have no absolute control over the merged creature, since it's not an undead anymore."

"Why should we trust it? I think that it called me
master
just because I can destroy it. And if you forgot, the wretched thing tried to take over me - and I do not like entities able to withstand in mental combat against me. Zuril, chain it to the wall!"
"
Noo!
" - screamed the Defiler and tried to lash at Zuril. Hascakkin reacted immediately, freezing it to the core.
"I ain't going create any more of them until I know for sure I - and you - can command them."

"Oh, I never said we should trust it, I simply pointed out my conclusions. But nevermind that. I see great potential... Lordaeron houses only enemies these days. Didn't you say you destroyed an entire village just before we met?"

"Actually, it was Auberdine - in Kalimdor, many miles away. But I think I know what you're proposing... to unleash these little bastards upon some village here and see what happens?"

"I think just one should do, actually. And we can start with those Syndicate wretches."

"Fine. You going with me?" - he asked, grabbing one jar and re-casting the sealing spells.

"This is one horror show I don't want to miss", she said and looked at Jessara, who simply shrugged. "We're coming alright."

"Off we go then."
Hascakkin nodded to Zuril and grabbed Jessara, while his minion did the same to Leera. As the party headed to the portal leading back to Alterac, Hascakkin asked Jessara. - "So, how are you feeling, sunshine?"

"Fine, considering everything that has happened. Not bad at all, actually. And if something useful comes out of it, I won't be sad it happened at all", she answered. "You forget I'm Cult of the Damned too", she said heartily. "and besides, with all the care I'm given... Leera really knows what she's doing when it comes to those potions. I guess I should thank you too, for taking care of me..."

"Except that most of the time I have absolutely no idea what the fel I am doing." - chuckled Hascakkin as they stepped through the portal. Numerous Syndicate zombies were wandering across the cave. - "So, shall we hunt down the living or test our little friend on these undead?"

"I think we should put him somewhere crowded, then slip away and watch what happens", Leera said. "Ironically, Strahnbrad would have been perfect... Though I think there are another Syndicate camp further to the south, near the border to Hillsbrad. You could scout a little in your flying form. But don't you dare to start the fun without us!"

Krutos landed right after his master. He didn't here what Darrow was muttering.
- "Aren't we going to fly straight in?", he asked, slightly amazed.

"I'll be back."
Hascakkin handed the jar to Leera and stormed out of the cave, morphing immediately after the exit and soaring to the south.

The two females slowly headed for the cave entrance too. When they got out in the open, they sat down on the hillside and relaxed for a moment, enjoying the rising sun on their faces and waiting for Hascakkin to return with intelligence.

Alterac
Fifteen minutes later, Hascakkin landed right in front of the two, his winged outline blocking the sunlight for a second before he morphed back.
"Okay, I've noticed a rather large encampment - thirty living or so. I think that will be nore than enough, so let's get going." - he said, gesturing Leera, Jessara and Zuril to follow him.

"Lead the way!" Leera said while commanding a small number of ghouls to accompany them. "Just in case..."
