General Dan was a general send by a human king to lead the expedition to The Catacombs. He and most of the expedition's members died in the process.
Story[]
In the year 1531 AE, Zombies have appeared near the sealed Catacombs, due to this, a human king has decided to launch an expedition there, in fear of the Wither King. He decided to put general Dan in charge of the expedition, and sent a mage from his personal guard, Solomon, with him. The group of 50 soldiers, 3 mages, one of which, kept a journal of their progress, were to leave the next morning. Halfway through second floor of the Catacombs, one of their scouts noticed an irregularity - a tomb that has seemingly been looted, without the trace of any remains. General Dan ordered the men to rest in the crypt.
The soldiers were, however, attacked by a Zombie, who killed one soldier and wounded another, it was then killed by Solomon. The expedition continued an hour after this attack, until they found another undead, a Wither Skeleton, who single-handedly killed 3 soldiers. Solomon suggested ending the expedition and reporting back to the king, with his theory that The Wither King has survived and does, in fact, control the Catacombs now. General Dan decided to explore the third floor, and then going back.
At the end of the third floor, the humans have encountered a large room with water pipes, they took a break there and prepared for their lunch. When one of the soldiers yelled that enemies are coming, they were quickly surrounded by hundreds of Wither Skeletons, Giant Spiders, Zombies and Skeletons. Dan rallied the soldiers to a desperate fight, assisted by Solomon.
In another journal, kept by one of the soldiers, the author describes Solomon's and Dan's bravery and how one of the mages, the one keeping the report, took an opportunity to escape. The mage stunned a group of enemies and made a run for it, followed by several soldiers. However, the escaping mage did not survive, and last volume of their journal was purposely damaged. Meanwhile, another Wither Skeleton entered the room, attacking Dan directly, using his two-handed sword, Dan cut the Skeleton in half and its sword with it.
Soon after however, Solomon sensed something and warned everyone that they need to leave. Soon after a Wither entered the room and killed the General with a single spell cast. The rest of the soldiers ran in disarray, while Solomon cast a barrier in an attempt to cover them.
