Finally, Oddic was able to pull his gaze off Harn's dangling corpse.
The room wasn't as small as he thought it'd be. It certainly wasn't large, but it didn't feel like a cell either. It had a small cot with a rusted old sconce to hold a candle just above. A trunk made of rotting wood sat at the foot of the cot.
In the corner, Oddic saw the footprint of the desk that was kicked over in the middle of the room. Harn must have used it to stand on before commiting himself to his current state of existence.
Everything was covered in a thick dust. It was like Harn came in, saw the room, and decided to end it all right then.

A couple hours after Igrik and Oddic's arrival, a bell would sound throughout the castle, and not long after that the exquisite smell of dinner began wafting through the halls. It would even begin to replace the odor of decay in Oddic's room. The bell noise would be easily followable to the grand dining hall of the Castle.

Igor had a face of uncertainty about him. He was just settling in, but it was usually his job to make dinner for "mathterth." He would come five minutes after the bell rang, for he was busy unpacking all of his bread monsters and surgical gear.

Luckily, the trunk had had some clothes packed neatly away. The pants were slightly too large, and the simple shirt had holes in areas, but they were comfortable enough. Of course, anything would be comfortable after a day of nudity. Then, after adjusting to the smell and figuring that Harn wasn't going anywhere soon, Oddic set about cleaning up the room.
All the scrap bits were piled in a corner, in case he might need some miscellaneous thing later. The dust was easy enough to wipe away as well, but it consumed a lot of time and when it was finished he heard a bell faintly toll from above. He wondered at that, until the smells of feast wafted down to him. He was a little curious as to how he could smell it through the walls and stench of death, but this place was obviously owned by someone well versed in magic, so he left it at that.
If Oddic was going to be getting some food, he probably would have to dispose of Harn first. Righting the desk, he clambered onto it and came face to face with his predecessor. "What could have been so horrible that you just gave up on living?" The bloated corpse stared silently back, giving no hints as to its secrets.
Upon inspection of the knot at the top, he saw that it was tied very shoddily. After a few pulls in the right places, Harn's lifeless body fell to the floor with a thud. And a little bit of a squish, as well. Oddic hopped off the desk and grabbed Harn under his arms, and started to drag the corpse towards the stairs. The wolves either recognized Oddic from his first time through, or simply didn't care for rotting meat. They didn't challenge him as he went through their territory. They didn't even growl. They just watched him as he struggled to slide Harn across the flagstone floor.
Finally, he made it to the steps. After the ordeal he had, he knew he wasn't going to make it up with Harn in tow. After sitting and thinking for a few minutes, an idea popped into his head. He dashed back to his room, and grabbed the desk. After carrying it back the the stairwell, he flipped it upside down and placed it on the floor like that. Harn was dragged to the desk, and arranged so his limbs all were propped against its legs. That way when it tilted, the body would stay in place.
Oddic then loosened the noose around Harn's neck to take it off, and tied the rope to the two desk legs closest to the stairs. He made sure that it was a good knot, so it wouldn't come undone halfway up. As another precaution, he tried breaking the legs off. They held, so he hoped that meant they'd be able to handle what came next. But first, he needed some help. Not wanting to head upstairs empty handed, he went searching in the halls past his room. He doubted that any Wolf Knights would help, considering this was supposed to be a first test of sorts.
Maybe he'd find one of those goblin-things, or another guest of the Doctor.

Dr. Frankeneblin was already seated, castles, of course came with serving staff. Or at least the bodies of the former serving staff, whom he had reanimated, and fortunately they seemed to remember most of their skills. The cooks he had hired from Isra, and they appeared to be good at what they did so far. It certainly smelled good. He waved Igor over, gesturing for him to sit to Frankeneblin's right.
"Come come Igor! Dinner is served. Do not worry my good fellow, you are my assistant, not my cook! Turkey I believe is what they caught tonight. Sir Finch and his knights should be here soon."

Instead Oddic would find Sir Eli Finch, on his way to get dinner as well. He was no longer wearing his armor, just a plain black uniform with a silver wolf embroidered along the front.
Upon seeing Oddic, he poked his head in the room to see his progress.
"Looks good boy, where did you put the body?"

Igor would sit down at the table. He was hoping that the man would serve at least some decent bread monster, or some indiscernible "meat." He seemed to cheery for a villain to work for, although that may just be insanity. Either way, he was looking forward to working for this gnome.

"Oh, well... nothing yet. I got him to the bottom of the staircase, but -"
Oddic would lead Sir Eli to the body on the desk-sled, "I couldn't carry him up all the steps. I figured I could rig a setup that would allow me to make use of the 'help' that's prevalent around here. "

Sir Finch shook his head at Oddic's attempts.
"You know there is a back door right? No matter now I suppose..."
With one hand he grabbed the table and moved it aside, leaving it in the hallway for later.
"Come on Oddic, you do not want to miss dinner around here, Frankeneblin hired some excellent cooks for this place."
The armored knight then began to lead the way up the long spiral staircase.

Oddic glanced at Harn, who was still affixed the the table. Well, a dead body wasn't really going anywhere. He followed close behind Sir Eli, trying to commit the different turns to memory so he wouldn't get lost in the future.

Eli quickly led the pair upstairs, taking the steps nearly two at a time. He was hungry after dealing with everything that happened today.
After about 5 minutes, they reached the a pair of grand doors, made of solid wood, with faded, albeit beautiful carvings.
The doors swung open, and inside they saw the Doctor, Igor, and the remainder of Eli's knights. Two seats were open at Frankeneblin's right, and it was to these that Eli walked, indicating for Oddic to sit to his right.

Quickly taking the seat at Sir Eli's right, Oddic wondered what sort of food would be presented by such an eccentric gnome and his small army of goblin zombies - zomblins, if you will. The stitched-together man across the table was a sight to be seen, but he seemed friendly enough.
It felt like Oddic hadn't eaten days. He very well might not have. He literally could not remember the last time he had a meal.

He whispered back.
"What? No you fool, what kind of people have you been working for? Sheesh, I am a Necromancer not a monster."
He cleared his throat and stood up on the table to be seen by all. As he began to speak, well-dressed (living) chefs would begin to bring in a delectable assortment of cooked chicken, turkey, and venison, with a host of complimentary sides, and an excellent assortment of wine, plus a full keg of...something...for the Wolf Knights.
"Welcome friends, old and new. Now that I have an assistant, our work can begin for real! Sir Finch, you and your knights know your task, go to Isra and present my most heartfelt thanks to Lady Naoki for the use of this castle. Take your new squire with you and get him outfitted as well. Igor, we will begin experimentation with the goblins immediately, seeking to enhance their abilities!"

"Ath you wish, mather...."
Igor quietly ate dinner, noone would notice how he ate the food, it merely disappears.
Once he and the Doctor went to experiment he was smiling sharply, his teeth strangely shiney. He would appear with his box of surgical gear and various magical as well as scientific tools.

In front of the pair, lying on the cold stone of one of the many slabs that were located deep in the bowls of the castle, lay the muscular form of Sir Hatch, Eli's knight who had hung himself. His body was well-preserved, thanks to the powerful preservation spell cast on the castle. It still smelled though, but thats why they were wearing masks.
Frankeneblin wore a white lab coat over his usual attire and behind him, against the wall, stood five goblin zombies.
"Are you ready Igor?"

Igor smelled it, looked it over. He tapped it a few times and listened to the reverberations. Nodding he opened his suitcase and pulled out a series of malicious looking instruments. 'Whenever you are, mathter.'

Dr. Frankeneblin nodded approvingly at Igrik's selection of instruments, it rivalled his own, in terms of quality at least, certainly not quantity, as could be attested by the sheer number of cabinets and drawers spread throughout the massive laboratory. He pulled out a long, black wand, with very little adornment on it to indicate it as anything spectacular, but that is what had drawn him to it in the first place.
"Igor, I trust you to handle most of the physical part of this procedure. This will allow me to focus on the magical part. Our goal here is to first awaken this man, an easy task, then prepare his body to receive the enhancements. I would like to permanently infuse him inside his armor, then magically ward it and add all sorts of new things to that."
Gone was the fun, happy tone from earlier, now Frankeneblin was all business, and it showed in his demeanor and his voice.

Igor nodded. He would have to inquire about the Gnome's tools, few has a collection that managed to even rival his, none had surpassed him. For now he was ready to work.
"Yeth thir, shall we merely enthconce him permanently, or make hith nerve thellth react with for more fluid movement?"

Dr. Frankeneblin nodded his head at Igor's question.
"Both. I would like to be able to remove and swap out parts as necessary. That way, we can market him to potential buyers as being able to meet any of their needs."
