Hograth grunts and grabs a cleaner peice of rag with which to smudge the writing...

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 691):

You are able to blur some of it, but more might be required to undo the curse.

Then Hograth will keep smudging until he is confident the cure has been broken. Then he will smudge just a little more.

Urrun will pass some water on a rag and hand it to Hograth  Maybe work better

In reply to Urrun (msg # 694):

Goran begins to chant, while walking the perimeter of the room and swinging his flaming flail like a censer, the process being slow and repititive.


This is an exorcism, and takes ten minutes. At the end of it, he makes  a bonfire of the debris.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 695):

After about twenty minutes the faint sense of oppression in the room lifts, and all of the rags and shrouds are ashes.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 696):

Hograth, after washing with the damp rag handed to him, takes a break after a bit. After cleaning his hands, he has a snack.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 697):

"I shouldn't wonder if these followers of Chronos aren't trying to disturb all of the mass graves to unleash the undead on the populace."

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 698):

"That would make sense. Torn between double checking the grave sites and seeking out the followers. But they are just Zombies, so better we stop the followers, then deal with the restless dead afterwards. Where to next..."

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 699):

The corridor continues past the hall of the plague dead, and reaches a four way intersection. The passage heading deeper into temple mount (west)have a gate, and the one heading deeper into the city (east) both have gates. The passage south is clear.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 700):

Which passage are we coming from?

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 701):

North

In reply to Narrator (msg # 702):

"Lets make sure the way south is clear, then head deeper into the mount..."

He nods his head in agreement and says Unh

The southern passage seems to be empty except for the echoes of dripping water and two stray shambling zombies thathave their backs to you, at the edge of your vision.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 705):

"Lets just cut them down..." Hograth says, stowing his crossbow and readying his Axe and Shield.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 706):

Gotan advances, and clocks oe in the back of the head. It goes down without a moan.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 707):

Once prepared, Hograth approaches the other to cut it down.

[Private to GM: Attack, Axe, rolled 6, 11 under skill. Rolled 12 cut damage, with the +3.]

Urrun stays back and keeps his eyes and ears peeled for any other trouble.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 708):

With both of them dispatched, you can continue down this route, which looks to turn into a T intersection (straight, with one eastward branch), try the gate east, or the western one that heads further into temple hill.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 710):

Hograth reloads his crossbow if the bolt has fallen out, checks the corpses for any valuables, before he continues on.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 711):

These pitiful wretches had no coin or other valuables.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 712):

Had to be thorough. Hograth leads them on...

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 713):

Again, you are headibg to the west gate?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 714):

We will head into the temple, where the trouble is...
