Chapter 4: Ashes and Ruin
Part Eight: Preparation

Players:


Spoiler: Detani (Fniff) (click to show/hide)


Spoiler: Jim (Gman8181) (click to show/hide)

-----------------
Known Locations:
-----------------
Suomi is a looted husk of a town.
Norvak Is a looted husk of a town.
Vis Valdi is a looted husk of a town.

The Base, is just beginning to be constructed.
-----------------
Note, all resources/items are placed in the Tower Stocks unless declared otherwise.
Spoiler: Cabal Forces (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Cabal Holdings (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Rituals (click to show/hide)
-----------------
Events:
---
Roland
Journeying back to the tower with a small group of undead takes you little time. The forest is calm and peaceful, as it often is. [4] Your studies in Blood Magic go well, but it will take time to reach the next level of competence.

---
Jim
[3] You bend yourself to the pursuit of learning the element of Bone. A fine beginning, but it will take ages to complete at this rate. +5% to Bone Magic.

---
Patrizio
Though you do not have what you need to make a finely stocked lab, you still craft a door, and seed the room with what supplies you can gather. It is crude, but it is a quiet room in which experimentation can proceed. It will be a fine addition to the Cabal.

---
Detani
Once more you try to rest, and slowly but surely you are making headway. You still feel drained, but not nearly as badly as you did recently.

Sholan
[5] Yet more corpses are raised under your steady hand. You feel you've grown quite good at this, enabling you to raise yet more corpses without

expending more effort.
+19 Festering Zombies

You note that many of the corpses have decayed past the point of usefulness as zombies. Attending to the last few quickly may be a wise idea.

---
Events in Near Proximity:
---
Autumn has grasped the land firmly.
Further Catacomb exploration is Dangerous.
Note, There is now a map in the OP.

Please Note: Additional Players will arrive as there is a storyline entry point for them.

Search the ruins for Helfd's corpse. If he's found, bring him back to the tower. If he's not found, or if he's found but there is not enough time left to make it back to the tower, practice blood magic as well.

Attempt to raise a large quantity of the corpses remaining

~Assuming the rest will convert to skeletal remains~

Mmm no. No patience for this.

Take my retinue and go inspect the human workers. If nothing interesting happens, take some resources back to my study and try offering it up to spirits.

Rip out rocks in the mine (with all safety precautions for miners, myself and the structure) and make golems.

(Sorry guys, was seriously laid out by a bad cold. Barely sentient as is.)
Rest one last time.

Chapter 4: Ashes and Ruin
Part Nine: Business as Usual 

Players:


Spoiler: Detani (Fniff) (click to show/hide)


Spoiler: Jim (Gman8181) (click to show/hide)

-----------------
Known Locations:
-----------------
Suomi is a looted husk of a town.
Norvak Is a looted husk of a town.
Vis Valdi is a looted husk of a town.

The Base, is a small, underground lair.

Note, all resources/items are placed in the Tower Stocks unless declared otherwise.
Spoiler: Cabal Forces (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Cabal Holdings (click to show/hide)

Spoiler: Rituals (click to show/hide)
-----------------
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.

---
Detani
Once 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.
Note, There is now a map in the OP.

Jim stared vacantly at the dust before turning to the nearby undead and silently commanding more resources be brought for sacrifice.

While waiting, he turned to one of the workers and asked in a casual voice,

"Is the food and drink alright? Does everyone get enough? How do you all sleep for the most part? I don't suppose any of you know how to smith?"

Concentrate on pinpointing the source of energy blocking me.

"Detani, quit wasting your time with the slaves. If you want sacrifices, we need captives, and if we need captives, we will have to move out soon."

Track down the source of the dark magic, and try to pinpoint when it was released.

Kill a bird, raise it, and send it to the mine carrying a message informing the others that the body was stolen and that dark magic was recently used in the ruins.

"Right, time to open up that chamber finally, no point in mumbling around..."

If they are willing, take Detani and Sholan back to the tower remnants to open up the underground chamber. I will accompany them to clear up rubble and provide backup.

assist Patrizio at the tower, advise him of our lack of corpses AKA our sudden surplus of skeletal-esque remains
