-----------------
Events:
---
Roland You search through the rubble for Helfd's corpse, [2] but cannot find it. How unusual. It seems there are no corpses left whatsoever. [6] And the tainted, comfortable feeling of Death magic permeates this place, though if it is recent, or the result of the Cabal's occupation, or even a long lasting aura leftover from whoever owned this place before, you cannot tell.
[1] You practice blood magic further. Steady practice will lead you to great competence, you are sure of it. Just not right now.
---
Jim The slaves are somewhat pale, but otherwise seem in good health to you. They watch you warily while they work. You gather up some resources to sacrifice to the spirits that surround you, [6] and they slowly disintegrate into dust. You feel no different and are unsure as to what benefit the spirits will offer you in exchange. -10 Supplies
---
Patrizio [2+3] You add your earth magic talents to the slave's labors, and -safely- work in the mine. Your emphasis on safety pays off, and you neatly thwart several near collapses. You add a further chunk of supplies to the stockpile. +13 Supplies.
[2-2] However something is preventing you from animating the rock with your magic. The source is far beneath you, but you can almost pinpoint it.
---
DetaniOnce more you rest. And this time, it is enough. You feel that your powers are once more waxing, rather than waning. You're still unsure as to why you were so drained but now you once more have your full destructive power to call upon.
---
Sholan[4+1] You bend yourself once more to raising the available corpses, as they are quickly decomposing. The work goes quickly, and you raise up a goodly number of the undead. Still some corpses remain. Though many more have decayed beyond the point where you can zombify them. +27 Festering Zombies
---
Events in Near Proximity:
---
Autumn has grasped the land firmly.
Further Catacomb exploration is Dangerous.
