Turn 54
[3] Reynald ran to the left, following the walls until he found a hole through which he could enter the city.
[4] He promptly entered dark streets, far from the cathedral towering above it. The city was empty and silent, as if it completely died out. Inquisitor passed several burnt houses and stopped at a crossroad. One lane leading to market and merchant's district, a path to cathedral and one leading deeper into the town, probably towards exit.
[6] Before Aaron even moved, plantlife sprouted from the grown up so big that it blocked the route towards brute!
[2] Snowstorms striked the undead, but it was completely unaffected by them.
[Aaron: 5 +2, Cryptlord: 6] When the undead came closer, Aaron felt that there was something more to this corpse. Spectral dragon hastily charged at brute with a wild upwards slash, striking it at head. The sword bounced off brute's helmet almost hitting dragon back, but the strike stunned the undead for a moment!
Urthal est geinrath! - the undead shouted, disoriented after the blow.
[Vivian: 6, Cryptlord: 2] Alchemist tried to attack during an opening, throwing a bag of dark explosive dust towards the undead brute, but the bag hit plantlife blocking the passage and burnt it down!
About that voice... - Serrana said, imagining with curiosity how an 'evil' her would sound -
I won't suggest hurting or killing anyone, especially myself. Unless I'm a real threat, so that answers your query on if I'm 'undeadified'. But if I were to be honest? The ones who I think showed the most restraint, I guess? That's a macabre tangent though.[4] Exorcist and Duke entered the village, getting past several ruined and burnt down houses. The avoided getting closer to a hill where a fortified buiding was, as they saw two zombies roaming that area. After a while, they got to the shrine at the village center.
[3] They touched the altar and Serrana performed a cleansing ritual, completely getting rid of taint that built up on them.
[5] Then exorcist placed Idol of Faithless on the altar and performed the same ritual on it. The charm started shining with white light, releasing a wave of spiritual energy. The idol broke into pieces, turned into dust, and a spirit floated out of the remains!
For many ages I was stuck in this pitiful little charm. Closed by arrogant gods! Called faithless, and entrapped in this eternal prison! - Erlath's spirit moaned.
But now that I'm free, I can finally take my revenge on them! But first things first... - the spirit said, then floated closser to Serrana -
Thank you for releasing me from my prison. As a proof of my gratitude, I solemnly swear myself to serve you. I see you have a curious affinity with spirits, I'm sure you'll find me as a great companion! - the spirit said.
Vagrerfgvat? Anu, ur whfg yvxrf gb nggenpg nggragvba. - Pguhyuh muttered silently, but acoustics of the cathedral made everyone hear it. He then said:
Yes, you are interrupting something. Want to help me with something? I am going to try to make a portal back to the keep and I will need your help in the Void.[3] Pguhyuh focused on the shard and opened the portal to Abyss. Through energetical membrane, he could see barren lands on the other side, fading to darkness with distance.
I'll come with you, but only if you quit insulting me. - Lysander replied.
[6] First Pguhyuh and Smoke entered the portal, then Lysander, Naablvat and Stumpy. They found themselves in the Abyss, just close to a swarm of dark spirits!
[3] They haven't spotted them yet, so if the team would move quick enough, they may avoid confrontation.
[1] Alexander and Ghatzu left the keep and approached the village from side, heading towards a fortified building on it's outskirts, but they were ambushed by two zombies! One of them was all bloody and held a ripped out head in it's hands, the second one was headless and held a scythe in it's hands.
Cryptlord: Stunned [240/240]
Zombie Craig: [40/40]
Zombie Bob: [40/40]
Dennis: Taint Cleansed
Aaron: Spectral dragon form ended
Serrana: Taint Cleansed, lost Idol of Faithless, new follower - Erlath's spirit, 2x level up
OOC
Serrana receives two level-ups for freeing Erlath. The village has been cleansed by spiritual nova. Only several undead remain on outskirts - elliminating them and building a wall around it would be enough to reclaim this place.
I'll make a companions section in player management post, so everyone could see stats, skills and equipment of their followers. I may also tweak smoke-demons in enemy types, and add Undead Brute, as I forgot about it....
