Final Vexation

Back before the Wings of the Nephilim began their attack, Faust made a report.

"My lord. It seems that the group of mages has journeyed together with some of the skeletons and mages that hid in the settlement." Faust began.

"The four mages that Neteri fought is commanding a small platoon of mages."

"It must be a trick. Be overly cautious. We don't know what they have."

"Yes, Lord Cardinal." Faust responded.

Heralcus frowned and began to urge his armies to move faster.

"We have to hurry. The team of mages that you fought has attacked their army."

"Those mages? Hmm.... They weren't anything special. Did they survive? They were using an incomplete transformation to become skeletons. I thought that they died after that."

"Faust said there were four mages. They must have completed the process and become Skeletons. The Temple could have done it."
