How many dead people are

Where'd they all come from?

Uh, the ground. That's where
all dead people live.

Thank the Dawnfather

Barely.

We saw your message in the sky.

Percival, what's our next move?

You're asking me?

Well, we... I-I assumed since
you're the rightful heir...

Titles don't matter anymore.

You're the leader, Archibald.

[distant growling]

Thanks for keeping me
from becoming zombie kibble.

Oh. N-No problem.

You probably
would have been fine.

No, I wouldn't.

Heads up.

Oh. [gasps, groans]

Holy sh*t!

- [groaning]

Whitestone ain't worth this.

They're losing heart, Percy.
Say something to them.

I can't. Julius was supposed
to rule, not me.

Julius is gone, and I've been
with the Briarwoods for years.

No one trusts me.

You are next in line...
the long lost de Rolo.

[Scanlan] Little help?

- Ah.

- Scanlan?

I'm no Pike.
This is way beyond me.

Necrosis. You'll lose the arm
within the hour.

The hour? What?!

No, no, I need this arm
for, like... stuff.

Hey, Scanman, you want me
to whack it off?

Yeah, you may have to
if I lose it!

Okay. Hold still!

No! No! Stop! Last resort.

We don't have time for this.

[zombies growling]

Well, sh*t.

Let's be anywhere but here.

Just do something!

My men would be honored

Archie... he didn't make it.

We heard.

Now it's your turn to lead them.

It can't be me, Cassandra.

I'm not a leader. I ran.

But you're here now.

Yours wasn't the only life
shattered that day.

We're all here.
The time is now.

No one else can do this.

I am Lord Percival

Fredrickstein von Musel
Klossowski de Rolo III!

On the day
the Briarwoods took Whitestone,

I watched my family die.

Despite my desire
for vengeance, I fled.

And fear kept me from my home.

We have all lost.

But Archie never feared,
never wavered.

He willingly gave his life
for all of us.

For Whitestone.

His sacrifice,

your sacrifice

and the sacrifice of my family
shall not be in vain.

Today is for Archie,
for the de Rolos,

for Whitestone!

Hey, everyone, uh, I'm... Oh.

Ooh. Pike? [gasps]

You're glowing

Are you dead?

I'm here, buddy, but my body
is back at the temple.

I wish I could go back
