There are three visible bodies laying in the scrub grass, they all appear to be Human and wearing similar livery, maybe that of a local merchant house. Two dead horses are also nearby. There are broken crates and ripped burlap sacks scattered near the wagon. It appears that whoever attacked the wagon made a feeble attempt to burn in, bit only one wheel and adjacent sideboard have burn marks on it. OOC Ok, specifically what is everyone doing/ where are you going/ what are you looking at? No one's gotten too close yet... being cautious. It'll take Arwi a bit to circle and gather clues, ill let him know what he finds after the others post up.

He looks at the wreckage and the bodies as he approaches, trying to get a sense of what might have happened. "I haven't had the pleasure of being engaged by highway robbers before, might anyone venture a guess as to what, precisely happened here?" OOC Kelarith is looking for the body with the largest number of visible wounds. He reasons that this will be the person that survived the attack the longest, and will know the most about what happened / who they were attacked by. He suspects that this person will also be the one that was strongest... for science purposes... His plan is to get a good sense of the area, and then attempt a Summon Spirit (Gurps Magic p 150) ritual to call up the spirit and ask it what happened, who he and his friends are, and whatever else, anyone wants to know.

prophane Posted March 6 Author Clone Share Posted March 6 (edited) Location: The road to Artonbruek, south of Rookroost, Bandit Kingdoms Date: Earthday, Sixth of Growfest (festival week) Time: around 10:00am Weather: Cold, 49°, cloudy skies and mild wind from the south Sunrise/set: just after 6am/ just before 6:30pm Character Present: Arwi, Finn, Kelarith, Nessia, Rindo, Snowbelle As Arwi circles around looking for clues, Nessia, Snowbelle, and Kelarith examine the aftermath of the wagon ambush. Rindo, Amira, and Finn remain near the wagon on the road 15 yards away. There are clearly no survivors. Some of the individuals also have scorch marks on them, as if hit by some sort of flame, probably magical. One of the horses is impaled with a heavy spear, it looks as if this was the only wound this horse endured. As he makes his way around, Arwi comes on the body of a dead Orc. The symbol of Iuz is painted on a shield strapped to his arm. Kelarith settles on the Human nearest the wagon to try his magic on. The dead man is of Oeridian descent and has numerous cuts, bruises, and lacerations on him. The side of his face is burned and much of his hair has been burnt off. Behind him, Snowbelle moves to the other side of the wagon to see if anything valuable or useful was left behind. As she leans over, bracing her hand on the side of the wagon, she hears a collective gasp from Kelarith and Nessia. The dead man laying in front of Kelarith opens its eyes and starts to move, reaching out with cold, dead hands toward the hooded figure. Nessia likewise, takes a step back when she sees the impaled dead horse shudder and start to climb to its feet. Further off, away from the ambush, Arwi sees the Orc open its dead eyes and grit its teeth as it starts to pull itself up off the ground! Amira curses and reaches for her crossbow as she sees the dead at the ambush start to stir. OOC Hey look, you all found something!

If you were a competent necromancer, maybe you could turn this to your advantage. Try to control it, you fool.' "These corpses seem cranky." OOC Kelarith does a Move directly away from the zombie (turn to the N and book it straight in that direction the full amount, which I believe is actually only two yards after the turn, then turn to face the NW at the end of his move. Yes, he's facing away from the zombie). As he passes the end of the wagon, he scrapes up some ash from the burnt portion of the wreck.

Morphling Posted March 7 Clone Share Posted March 7 (edited) Snowbelle Skysdottr Nymph Barbarian HP 15/15 FP 13/13 Conditions/ Effects Snowbelle frowns at Kelarith's suggestion of a live sacrifice and was just about to speak up to object when movement catches her eye. Looking away from the wagon where she had perhaps hoped to find a survivor huddled inside, her eyes widen in shock as she sees a man that she knows to be dead rise up. Reverting fully to barbarian mode, she lets out a cry of fear and fury as she steps over to the body and plants her spear in it. The zombie makes a feeble attempt to avoid the strike, but Snowbelle's spear impales it easily. The creature seems unbothered by the spear in its side and continues its attempt to rise.

Zombies are usually horribly disgusting and decayed undead abominations held together by profane magic. To Rindo, though, this zombie just looks like some beat-up fellow off the streets of Rookroost, in fact, this zombie looks like someone Rindo actually knows... or knew, at least. It is Vordrenar Hern, Vordie, from down in the Merchant District. He was a laborer for one of the Merchant Houses or something. They used to play cards and dice together from time to time. Good fellow, not so much anymore, though. OOC It happens that Rindo KNOWS this unfortunate fellow. I would like Rindo to make a Fright Check.
