As he stands there, slightly crouching in the fighting position, his blood pulsating through his body giving him energy, he gathers himself for the viscious fight to come. At a signal from the Corpse King, the warriors form noose around Zero and start to close it.
Looking around for a good vantage point, Zero sees teh King's face twist into a viscious snarl sudennly. As the king raises his hands, the soilders halt and look questioningly about.
"There are intruders that have entered the temple. These defilers would seek to disturb you bones and steal you heirloms. Find them and immediatly bring them to me, quickly!"
As the soilders scatter and mass back through the entrances, the King flicks his left hand, the one with the ring, and the entrances begin to close up.
"It would seem, dragon spawn, that you shall be tested in full today. Let us hope you are not found wanting. You see, this ring can be removed only one way, through a defeat in battle. I have yet to see such an event, for even Death hath failed in such a venture."
As the king reaches behind his throne, he pulls out an elaborate broadsword, untainted by age and glowingly faintly. Without warning, the king leaps off the dias towards Zero, who deflects a blow to his head just in time. As he slids to a halt on his feet, he notices that king has not even shifted into the fighting stance, but stands there calmly, with a coy sort of grim, tapping his blade against his leg.
<An Elf! He has to be, such strength, agility, playfullnes. No doubt he thinks me unworthy to be taken seriously, I shall prove him wrong there!>

You can run....but you'll just die tired.
