Hallow's Eve in Gal Darrack

This year's Halloween story. It's a fable, of sorts, and it's a stand alone tale; not connected to any of my past D2 stories, humorous or non-humorous.

For author comments and to see some of the reader feedback (in a week or two once some comes in and I have time to format it) check out the version of it on my site.

Feel free to post your opinions here; pro, con, or indifferent. I'll probably add some discussion in reply to your comments if there's any interest. There's not much to tell about this one, really. It is funny how I hardly play Necromancers, and have made them the running butt of a running joke in my d2 columns... and yet they most often show up in my fiction. In one form or another, at least.

ah that was a good read =)

it got me wondering who revived the demons, and i never thought of them just coming in disguise as themselves in black dye =P

even when you hinted they were alive, with the part where you wrote about the demon's eyes focusing on the dork's face for a second, i thought the necromancer was losing his control, but then, these were revives, so even if the necromancer did lose control, they would just fall apart right?

i'm guessing all these necromancers were pure reviving types, as they could have easily fought off the crowd at least with lvl 1 bone spear or something. =P

but anyway, nice story! i haven't read any of your stories before, and at first, i thought you were writing about a real city somewhere. then you started to mention demons and necromancers and mages, and im like.....ohh this is fiction. =)

next time im in act4, i'll keep a lookout for a tart-wielding balrog =D
