Signs of A Witch

July 1st, 105PA

Atlantis Preserves

Major events in the next two days:

Zombie Invasion kills half of refugees

Sparticus forms Army of thunder from 10 15-4yr old children survivors of the invasion

Till’s son Hill is killed in the invasion and later discovered in a pit of bodies and animated by Drago. his corpse fell over after the magic left it and lies somewhere about a mile west of camp in a pile.

Drago, Sparticus and Kaldor fight a Baslisk, undead and a few humans. Drago and Kaldors powerarmor and petrified before Sparticus managed to sneak up behind the beast, neurotouch it unconscious and then electrocute it with his aura. Drago resisted petrification 7x before finally succumbing to the rays evil effects on the 8th attack.

Kaldor found a strange rock altar with a dead Hawk Duhk on it while he was huning for food. He then met a Sphyx’s ghost who claims evil cultists have taken his body from its tomb for use in foul magics. He begs the PCS to follow the witch and put his body to rest, promising a reward should they do so. It seems wagons were used to loot his cave and they lead to a boat launch nearby leading into the Atlantic ocean north of Atlantis.

Kaldor had to fight One Green Witch cultist and 3 cult members of dark Dragonwright.
He was nearly carpeted and essence bolted todeath before she foolishly steped out trying to convert him to evil. He grapple hooked her into the carpet with him and shot her with his HI80 many times until he was sure she was dead.

Drago teleported some loot back to the Tree, and teleported again where he found his connection in Slynn mysteriously disappeared. The whole block is deserted from some raiders or so he is told. He finds a nice linen shop nearby, though.

After arguing back at camp, the return to the Sphinx’s resting place.

Investigating finds a Hawk Duhk, Keldor blows it up with a grenade in a paranoid attack against an unknown.

Digging out the front of the cave, they find the back littered with treasure:

They found a shipping manifest for some of the loot in the cave. It reads “Azlum Shipping Co” so they go there to investigate…

Currently the party is on the outskirts of the Azlum harbor.
