Hograth will check the dead undead, looking ostensibly for signs of where they came from, but also for valuables...befoe checking the location of where they were from...and loading his crossbow!

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 666):

With the crossbow loaded, you can see that these dead are penniless, or at least they are now. The trail of fingertips and earlobes they left leads rurther down the hallway, to a room with doors flung wide, a recently sawn through rusty chain still looped through a ring on one of the doors.
The cavernous room beyond reeks of old death.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 667):

Hograth continues on with the group to check everything as the keep moving...

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 668):

Are you entering the formerly locked room, or continuing down the corridor?

In reply to Narrator (msg # 669):

If the formerly locked room is locked no longer, Hograth will want to clear it before moving on.

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 670):

The room had been chained shut, and the chain was sawn through. Within is a vaulted room with pillars. A great deal of debris is scattered about, and tbere are three dead shuffling aimlessly about, that become interested in the light sources you are carrying. The bad footing is causing them to stumble about.  Something is sloppily written on the back wall, in what might have been blood...

Hogarth will find a place with good footing and ready his axe and shield...

Urrun sheathes his sword for the moment and gets his sling out.  (from the description, I take it there is some distance between us).

In reply to Urrun (msg # 673):

You have time to prepare and aim, although the dead start moaning when they see you...when they get in range, they are at the end of their move and cannot yet attack.

In reply to Walking corpse (msg # 674):

Hograth will attempt to cut down the first one that comes within range of him, and any that try to attack!

[Private to GM: Attack, axe, 9 under to hit, 9 cut damage, parring any unarmed attacs and dodging an armed ones. Active defence 11, parry by 4 with shield, dodge by three. 11 cut damage if parry.]

Urrun aims at the vitals (center of chest) and winds up, sending his lead slug on its way.



[Private to GM: 15:13, Today: Urrun rolled 9 using 3d6.  Slinging sling stone.  By 8
15:15, Today: Urrun rolled 12 using 2d6+3.  Sling Damage. ]

In reply to Urrun (msg # 676):

Goran smashes another with his flaming flail, lighting it up with the force of the winter sun.

All three are staggered, Urrun's is knocked back, Hograth's nearly split in twain, and Goran's is on fire.

In reply to Goran the Marked (msg # 677):

Hograth swings again to finish the job...

[Private to GM: Rolled 3 under skill to hit, 12 cut damage. Can I use the previous active defence rolls, since they were not needed?

Parrying any unarmed attacks and dodging an armed ones. Active defence 11, parry by 4 with shield, dodge by three. 11 cut damage if parry.]

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 678):

You cut down that one, and dis-arm the flaming one, which falls. The other one Urrun got staggers unevevenly forward.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 679):

Hograth steps toward the last one, waiting until it moves within range, before swinging again.

[Private to GM: Rolled 5, 13 under skill, 8 cuting damage. Need to roll defences? Same as before, will reroll if needed!]

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 680):

The last of them is cut down, leavin you in a room full of debris, with something painted on the wall...

In reply to Narrator (msg # 681):

Hograth will sift through the debris for anything of value, then read what is painted on the wall...

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 682):
The debris consists mostly of shoes, rags, widing sheets and feotid organic matter, alon g with a few belt buckles and a handful of coins... Search roll for more.
The writing on the wall seems to read
cUrse yoU aLl i wAs nOt deAD wHen yOu caSt me HeRe!

Urrun starts moving the trash around looking for coins and things of value ...



[Private to GM: 10:59, Today: Urrun rolled 8 using 3d6.  Searching.  Works for Perception or scrounging, both are skill 12]

In reply to Urrun (msg # 684):

Hograth is distracted by the writing.

"Looks like they were kidnapping folk and putting them here alive..."

[Private to GM: Rolled 1 over IQ, search at default...]

Urruns head snaps up  An then they be dead like we see... I goin'

He heads for the door wasting no time in clearing the place.

In reply to Urrun (msg # 686):

"These shrouds... I fear this was a mass grave during plague times... and our graffiti artist was mistaken for being dead. He must have starved to feath unless he took to eating the dead, but it looks liike his last action was to lay a curse, which must have resulted in those restless dead. This is their grave."


Urrun finds a silver ring still on a finger, worth $100.

Urrun disposes of the finger, throwing it to the corner.  So room not make undead?

In reply to Urrun (msg # 688):

"I see. Were there not rooms like this all around the city?"

In reply to Hograth Podkarmen (msg # 689):

"To hear tell of the number of undead found by guild members, there must be. We should do something about that writing."
