12/30/2017 0 Comments Investigation in The Dredgeby Theobold Peacekeeper (Alan h.) 30 spring fellTL;DR: Sick necromancer put undead girl in a teddy bear (wtf Kunal!); Undead horde centered on a wooden staff; Saved live captives from the undead and discovered a church in Tallat’s Hill and learned of the Kenku Outkast Village. Against my better judgement, I decided to join Brynn’s expedition to The Dredge to try uncovering the source of the undead. I am no warrior, and I don’t think it’s necessarily possible to use diplomacy with undead, but it is a Herald’s job to secure the safety of their people and allies, and while the undead continue to walk the streets, we are not able to freely traverse to the different city sectors and further our alliances with the native factions of Summerport. In the unfortunately poor meeting that Salazar led with The Fist, he was at least able to get some leads of what is going on from their leader, Palmador. The undead have been observed to hold some faction with the Kenku and seemingly take orders from them, as we’ve seen and replicated with the use of illusions. Palmador revealed that the source of the undead can be found in The Dredge, so that is where Brynn decided his god, Gaia, should lead him. With our group formed, we headed off to the southeast in search of The Dredge. Along the way, we found a curious toy shop that seemed well preserved compared to most of the old structures, guarded by undead skeletons that we made short work of. Brynn detected undead within, so we decided to explore it. Tharrus picked up some spools of gold and silver thread, that seemingly had an enchantment of longevity on them. We came into a room with a large teddy bear in it, which radiated the undead energy. I cant remember who struck the blow to tear it open and see what was within, but we did hear the words “papa” echoed by a cursed undead girl before seeing her put to rest. Unfortunately, we could not stick around for a complete burial, but hoped for time on the way back. Whatever necromancer is doing this undead stuff is truly a sick individual to imprison a young girl inside of a toy bear…. We pressed on and it didnt take us long to find more undead, these one zombies...but with 4 live captives they were dragging! We rescued them just in time before they were dragged into an even larger horde. Salazar got to the rooftops and scouted where they were taking them while the rest of us healed them up for a trip back to base.
A massive horde was present in the square with a massive fountain. All of the undead seemed transfixed and staring at a large wooden staff hovering above the fountain. Salazar also spotted twelve captives that we assume were about to be...turned….as well. Unfortunately, our party was not equipped to deal with a horde of hundreds of zombies. I’m sure that if we were to retrieve that staff, surely we could hold some power over this horde. It only raises more questions as to who is controlling them and why they are abducting people. Of our rescued captives, two were members of The Fist, Wyne and Andrew, both rather reasonable, but wary of Salazar after recent events. Wyne stuck around, but Andrew went back to report the undead actions to their leaders. The woman’s name was Elena and seemed to know more about what was going on, but didn’t seem quite ready to share. She was in robes and claimed to be a cleric of a shrine in Tallat’s Hill. She claimed to worship a god name Thuruggoulos. I have not seen any record or accoutn of such god in Sanctus, so it must be one of the new world. Our fourth rescued captive was a young kenku merchant named Beaky Tomes that Elena said she knew from Tallat Hill. We didnt have enough healing magic for him, so we woke him up back at the tavern, with The Fist helping us give the young undead girl a proper burial on the return trip. Upon waking Beaky in the safety of The Thieves Tankard, we learned that there’s a whole village of Kenku in West Seaward that have been outcast from the main camp due to a difference in opinion from the Administration that holds the xenophobic ideals against humans and other races. He referred to it as the Kenku Outkast Village. He didnt know much about the undead or how he was abducted, but mentioned in addition to The Dredge, Widow’s Rest is another zone that is to be avoided. I have chartered some others to join me in a trip to Tallat’s Hill where hopefully we can meet and ally ourselves with some of the more reasonable natives of Summerport.
