During my watch I came face to face with the first zombie I have ever seen, and it had to be a gnome. Well it was a bit of a surprise but we dealt with it. The corpse seemed to be pretty old, and Gim said that there was an old gnome burial spot not far away. Guess we know where we're headin. We set out right away.
We kept to the road mostly trying to keep out of sight. We begant to draw near to the place when we spotted a fire ahead. I went ahead alone to take a look and found there were three of em, they were speaking dwarf and having a few drinks. Everyone else went ahead while Kano and I held back to the shadows, better safe than sorry.
Turns out they were dwarves, two males and a female. I didnt like em from the start, apparently they came here to kill zombies and take their heads as trophies...that just doesnt seem right in the head to me. And surprise, surprise the one doin all the talking was a cleric of Thurn. I came out of the shadows at this point and joined the group. Things never go to well when you mix a priest of Throrn and Thurn and soon enough Groehl and this Hagrid weretrading blows in a "friendly" competition. Lochlan and I actually put some money on it, I bet on Groehl...I lost. Hagrid managed to knock Groehly out but it was close. During this fight I was making my way closer just in case, my crossbow ready. You can never trust a priest of Thurn.
Hagrid decided to try and take Groehl's head, and I wasnt having any of that. I took a shot at him but missed and couldnt waste time reloading so I resorted to knives. The fight was a hard one Hagrid and his partners were skilled and tough. But in the end we won out. Taking a breathe Gim and I started poking around the wagon.
Who would have thought we found a goblin scholar of all things, tied oup n the back. His name was Grizzlegast the Great, a former scholar to Lord Etrugal. His name is turning up too many times for coincidence. The goblin gave us a whole story of what happened and turns out the dwarves were using a magic sphere to create these zombies and they placed it in the ruins on the hill. Guess we know where we are going next. |
