Turn 55
[Alexander: 5, Zombie Craig: 6] Peasant charged at a zombie, but it thrown a severed head at him and Alexander tripped on it! As peasant was falling, he attempted to stab the undead and sliced it's abdomen open. Guts spilled out of the hole and undead fell on the ground, dead again!
[Ghatzu: 2, Zombie Bob: 1] Headless zombie attacked blind man, but in it's blind charge it fell into a bush behind the priest and got stuck in it!
Happy to meet you, ghost! Now, how about we get back to reclaiming the keep? - Dennis asked.
I'm pleased to meet you as well. - Erlath's spirit replied before Serrana spoke.
Wouldn't it benefit our campaign in the long-run if we had a secure area to return and recuperate to? - Exorcist asked.
Huh? We can clear my village first, if that's what you mean. - Dennis replied.
This was your village? Very well then. But if you're going after the undead--we should do it together. I'll tend to the defenses elsewise. - Serrana suggested.
We should take care of the undead together, o' course. Remind me to tell you 'bout poor Bob sometime. - Duke agreed, and they moved on.
[3] Feeling her bond with spirits stronger after freeing Erlath, Serrana felt that a guardian spirit is always watching her. She also felt that other spirits remain watchful of her as well, that she's watched on high.
[6] Together Duke and Exorcist searched the village thoroughly, trying to spot any remaining undead. Checking building after building, and street after street, they couldn't find any undead monstrosities. Well, someone on hills was already fighting with two zombies, but it seemed that they'd handle this situation perfectly on their own. Somewhere along the road, Serrana found body of village's priest and a staff he had - it was just like the one she received from inquisition. The way to hills was clear as well, and only several undead were roaming within wheat and sunflowers. Then they checked the way towards forest, and saw something horrifying. A set of knightly armor animated by dark forces. It weilded a tower shield and a bastard sword, and had two eyes glowing red. It was just standing there, staring at Serrana and Dennis.
[5] Snowstorms hit the cryptlord harder than before, greatly reducing his sight! Too bad that they did no harm to it.
[6] Plantlife sprouted entangling Cryptlord, and then instantly died out in the blizzard! Vines blocking path got severely weakened as well!
[2] Aaron attempted to enter one of dragon forms, but it seems that all this constant switching between them exhausted his body!
[Aaron: 2, Cryptlord: 3, Vivian: 6] Dragonruler raised his greatsword anyway and charged, dancing with fire. However, his flame waves died out in snowstorms. Undead managed to get through the blizzard and noticed Aaron, only to get hit by a bag of explosive dust tossed by alchemist! Dragonruler was caught in the explosion and thrown back at passage-blocking vines, spikes painfully entering his body!
[5] Reynald decided to go deeper into the city, taking shortcuts through alleys and avoiding any creatures on his path. He reached city gates in no time. The gates were open, and there were stables just close to them. It seemed that at least one of horses was still alive!
[1] Pguhyuh and Smoke tried to locate the second portal, but before they even took a few steps forward, the swarm of dark spirits noticed them!
[5] Luckily for them, something scared the swarm away! Another portal opened just close to the group, and Jeramesh - the undead sorcerer stepped out of it.
[4] Lysander decided to take the lead before Pguhyuh would start bantering with undead. Moving towards a ruined tower in the distance, he quickly found another portal, shard in Pguhyuh's hand vibrating gently when close to it; this was their second portal.
