-----------------
Events:
---
Roland With your small force, you sack Suomi. Unfortunately time, the elements, and likely scavengers before you have reduced the potential plunder greatly. You find merely 20 supplies. Loading them up, you move out to the Tower, only to find it a collapsed ruin. Scrawled in the rock are instructions to go to the Mine.
[?]Further experimentation with the amulet proves fruitless.
---
Jim [5] Well, you still have all these bodies and a large amount of free time. So you once more bend your magic to the task of raising zombies. To great success. A further 24 shambling, uncoordinated corpses have joined the ranks you already possess. +24 Festering Zombies
---
Patrizio [?]And so it begins. Your magic is strong, your will focused and your task obvious. The Cabal needs a new base, and so it falls to you to make habitable the tunnels of the mine. So you begin to reshape the earth at your will. The slaves still within the mine flee to its deepest diggings to make themselves scarce as you move earth and stone with a flick of your wrist. The work is long, and many hours later you have only just begun to lay the foundations of the Cabal's new fortification, dug into the earth.
At this rate you estimate it will take 3 more turns to construct a base. Still, it will be sturdy, and have much room for expansion.
---
Detani Departing from the catacombs in a hurry, you travel to the Mine. There you find Patrizio busy at work forming the twisting tunnels into a defensible, stable layout for a new home. Thankfully he has already finished living quarters and you head there to get some much needed rest.
Upon waking, you still feel drained however.
---
Sholan [?] Threading your way through the catacombs to the place you know once contained the tomb full of Draugr, you find nothing but another caved in room with a few scattered bones. It would appear the tower's collapse destroyed this room completely.
[6,?] Or not completely. On the fallen rocks you find several sigils, runes, and other evidence of magic wrought into the very stones.
---
Events in Near Proximity:
---
Summer is gradually giving way to Autumn.
Further Catacomb exploration is Dangerous.
Note, There is now a map in the OP.
Please Note: Additional Players may not enter until the Cabal once more has a base of operations. Base construction has begun.
