((Why are you cursing to have my magic betray me? My magic betraying me is what killed you.  ))

[gman8181]

((Heh, it is a little bit funny.

MAY YOU CONTRACT THE COCKROT AND LIVE IN AGONY AND SHAME.

I'm almost tempted to sig.))

Edit:

Help repeat the ritual and try to learn from it. Proceed carefully with the flesh monstrosity failure in mind.

((Why are you cursing to have my magic betray me? My magic betraying me is what killed you.  ))

((Correction, your short sightedness killed him, there was one abundant source available to you outside and that was the tower, I mean its quite obvious that the only source was the tower considering most land has a foot or several feet of soil, and fairly loose gravel before there is any actual source of stone large enough to accommodate your golem. Even if you weren't sure you should have checked before hand or better wrote that statement since considering you've done this before the consequences should have been quite clear, in essence I advise you to think your actions through from now on ... Though in conclusion this is good for me, it takes me closer to joining ))

((Correction, there is another abundant source. Remember all the stone i summoned for the construction of the palisade wall.

Also last time this happened it was because i was inside at the time, i specifically stated to head outside this time to try and prevent this from happening.))

[Terenos]

((Again! Theres a perfectly good OOC thread for this!
And when you helped make the palisade, you used the catacombs. Strangely no ones noticed this yet.))

[Unholy_Pariah]

((Nobody reads the ooc thread, not even you.))

[Ardas]

"Fair enough. I'll see you later back at the tower."

I turned to Detani.

"Are you ready to head back? Lets move out with what we have while they stay behind and work on these corpses".

Head back to the tower with the loot.

[CyberGenesis]

"That went better than expected"

Head back with Patrizo and study the locked book

[Fniff]

"Sounds good... Let's head."
Head back with Sholan and Patrizo.

-----------------
Events:
---
Roland, Jim
[4,6], [?,?,?] Together the two of you repeat the magic you tried before. Focusing intently on the weaving of magic, you find yourselves making small amounts of progress. It will be a long and tedious road, but in time you will be able to perform mass raising rituals. You have begun understanding the secrets of this particular ritual.

But for now, your magics do not mesh properly, and you only manage to raise corpses alone.
+12 Zombies (Jim)
+15 Zombies (Roland)


Patrizio, Sholan, Detani
The three of you head back towards the tower, following the winding road towards Suomi. The journey is uneventful.

Sholan, your attempts to study the book are stymied by the lock. Unless you can get through it, the book shall remain a mystery.

---
Flint
[5+1] You bend your magic towards the task of clearing the rubble. It takes time, but you were very successful this time. You managed to recover 110 Supplies from the tower ruins. Also you recovered both Jerik and Helfd's corpses. Also one loot token.
Your continued practice, and apparent hatred for buildings (Even if it is only accidental) has given you new insights into your magic. You feel you are now far more dangerous towards buildings in general.

---
Events in Near Proximity:
---
Summer begins to bloom across the local area.
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. Constructing a Base will cost ~200 Supplies. And time.

[Unholy_Pariah]

Raise as many golems as possible to assist in rebuilding.

[Shootandrun]

Roland, seemingly tired (or perhaps bored out of his mind) turned towards Jim as the spell ended and the zombies rose.

"At this rate we'll still be here in ten years. You've got some talent in keeping the undead under control, right? So... How about this - we do that ritual again, and then you organize the zombies so they take as many corpses as possible from here to dump them at the mine, before returning them. While they're doing the travel, we'll raise some more zombies, and hopefully this can be done in only two journeys. Got it?"

((Basically, I suggest starting to use the zombies we have to deliver corpses to the mine, in case I wasn't clear.))

[Fniff]

Practice with my sword as I walk.

[gman8181]

Jim looked at Roland and tilted his head just slightly.

"Some talent... I suppose. Not that I'd particularly trust it any more any other cabal member's talent but... sure, I have no objection to your plans."

Go along with Roland's plan, whatever it may entail.

[Shootandrun]

Together, Jim and Roland will raise as many zombies as possible, with the same ritual as before.
Jim will then have all the zombies present pick up as many corpses as possible and send them towards the mine, with the instructions to leave them there and then return to Norvak. Roland will start training bone magic while Jim does this, not wishing to interfere with his orders.
