Events:
---
Roland, Jim[3+1,2] Weary from your repeated attempts at raising corpses, the two of you do not perform at your best. But you are still more than capable of raising another 16 zombies, between the two of you. +16 Zombies. Alas no progress is made towards deciphering the ritual.
Jim then orders the assorted zombies to gather up bodies and lug them towards the mines.
[3] Roland's work towards Bone magic progresses slowly. +5% to Bone Magic
Your best estimate currently is that there are a further 150 corpses remaining here at Norvak. Though you can't be sure that count is accurate
[14] In the distance Jim spots what appears to be a wagon train, heading for Norvak.
---
Sholan Wandering away from Patrizio and Detani you head for Suomi, and the Mass Grave contained within. [3+1] The corpses within are a festering mass, but have not yet fully decayed. Though hampered somewhat by your broken arm, you manage to raise 15 Festering Zombies.
+15 Festering Zombies
---
Patrizio, Detani The two of you practice methodically as you travel towards the Tower. [6,5] Patrizio reaches new insights in Earth Magic, and Detani's bladework steadily improves, but has not yet reached a plateau of competence.
You arrive at the Tower, to find a pile of rubble, and Flint sifting through the wreckage, with the help of a pair of golems.
---
Flint [3+1, 4+1]
You call forth two golems from the salvaged rubble of the tower. Though it will slightly diminish the supplies available for reconstruction, extra hands will help out.
Patrizio and Detani have arrived. Patrizio's iron golem is lugging a large cart burdened heavily with supplies.
---
Events in Near Proximity:
---
Summer begins to bloom across the local area.
Further Catacomb exploration is Dangerous.
