The Horrors of Necromancy

Guild Wars, a game which has recently joined Ug the Caveman's rotation, appears to be strange at times. While watching him play last night, I had a conversation that went approximately as follows:
Me: "Those things are kind of ugly."
Ug: "And he makes them into even uglier things."
Me: "At least they die face-down. And now they appear to be walking ribcages."
Ug: "With two tails. I don't know what it is they're firing."
Me: "I think they're vortices of pure pain."
Ug: "I think they're just arrows."

He continues to quest around, raising the skeletons of the dead to do his bidding. Which mostly consists of killing other things to make into skeleton minions. Exactly what this all achieves is perhaps a question best left unanswered.

PS - There is more about spreading disease, too.
PPS - For those tuning in late, Ug is my brother.

Is your brother lined with sheepskin, by any chance?

Like having hordes of skeletal undead doing your bidding isn't incentive enough!

Sure, walking skeletons are great, but at least according to Deadly Girl (of The Specials), they're no substitute for a real family.
