#65 Law & Order: Nostrous

"In the Federation of Magic Criminal Justice System the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important groups. The Necromancers who investigate crime and the Enforcer who prosecutes the offenders. These are their stories."

The Aftermath: Sargent Murkle's Necromancer Nostrous Police Department Report:

"Victim was one Petey the Splugorth Slaver.  Cause of Death, petrification and subsequent removal of the head.  Head had claw marks from small humanoid sided hands, but great strength must have been used due to the massive damage.  Psychic investigation revealed death was caused by a supernatural creature of unknown origin.

Witnesses were a few slaves in one of the barns nearby , but they remain uncooperative.  We were unable to recover footage from Petey's observation orbs, the orbs have yet to be found.

Desslyth the Younger filed a missing slave report with us for two Ogre guards, one barn full of HawkrDuhks and Lady Naya, champion of the Nostrous Gladiator Pit.  Nostrous Necropd Was unable to locate any of the slaves, subsequent investigation of the border towers showed evidence the slaves were smuggled out of town by a ATV pulling a trailer.  Two humans were piloting the smuggling ATV along with a Kreeghor in power armor.

Nostrous Necropd scouts were able to confirm tracks of a heavily laden ATV and lightly laden trailer heading south out of Nostrous towards Golden Age Weaponsmiths territory.

Desslyth the Younger demands retribution or payment from the authorities in Dunscon  for his losses.   He filled a missing property report for the following slaves:
Naya - 10 million
Duhks - 100k each x4 - 400k
Ogre TMen - 400k each x2 - 800 k
Eye of eylor - 40mil each  x5 - 200million
Petey & Bardge - 10mil
Total Losses 222 million
"

Why the report was filed....

In the aftermath of Petey's petrification, Drago teleports back to the Tree.
Leaving his mortal party behind, the others scramble to cover up the evidence.
First Lady Naya Caldor Jimmy and Sparticus battle the observation orbs, 4 remain intact and try to fly away, they are barely destroyed before escaping with evidence.
Sparticus takes 1 eye of eyelor.
Herman takes 2 eyes of eyelor.
Caldor takes 1 eye of eyelor.
Herman buys a ATV and trailor and uses it to smuggle out the slaves.

The group drives From Louisville ~300 miles south to the Huntsville base oil refinery owned by Sparticus.

There they see all the pigs have been slain, hughbot remains guard over the base.  He claims many zombies attacked last night and killed most of the remaining pigs.

Lady Naya and Herman use their cybernight connections to find a supply bardge nearbye.  Theya re told to take a mobile hunter gun with antenna array and send intelligence to the suspected harvestory hanging in Cincinnati.  Something big is happening in cincinati and the knights want to know what.

Herman pilots the mobile hunter gun with 100ft collapsible long range radio antenna.
Sparticus assembles his enforcer and places it outside the base next to the mobile hunter gun.

A single horse rides into town first.. it dies of wounds shortly afterwards.
An hour pases
Later a 2 horses pulling a single wagon with Merl and His Wife come into town, Merl is shot up bad but refuses help, there are 6 people in the back of his wagon who are in comas.   Merl says his party was ambushed by zombies.

Betti Lou gives Sparticus a Pie in exchange for medicine.
Sparticus tries to get people to swear aligiance to the army of thunder for entrance to the base but the npcs camp outside instead.
Sparticus gives betti lou a knitter which she starts using on the injured.
6 folsons are healed with the knitter, only 4 survive, dad mom jane billy
demon locusts are seen flying on the horizon in small numbers.
