[QUOTE="megamania, post: 6973833, member: 9255"] DARKSUN: RUINS OF DESTRUCTION SEGMENT 008 ADVENTURE TWO: RAAM 12/08/16 8th DAY OF 5TH MONTH Shortly after crossing the gorge Delphia and Turulkhan spot something in the distance. Figures walking in a group up the road. They watch closely as ten people slowly walk directly at them. Nado has the mekillot stop and the riders to come in closer. “Black Water Walkers.” Is all he has to say to the psion beast master. Via nods as she mentally calms the beast to a stop. The caravan master walks down the steps and joins Balik, Torruk and a few guards. Delphia watches safely from the top with mild interest. Turkulkhan soars overhead watching for further possible threats. The people before them walk stiffly but are not undead. Nado refers to them as Black Water Walkers. Being poisoned and cursed to slowly become undead and the worst of it all- be fully aware of it. The leader, an old man, steps forward even as the others look to the mekillot. They look with longing and desire. “I am Delok and these are my family and friends. We are here to warn you against drinking from the Black Water Oasis. Consider yourselves warned.” The cursed people wander away into the desert. Delphia has walked down out of curiousity. “What will become of them?” Nado, with little emotion on his face answers. “In time they will decompose further and die in agony. Then they will open their eyes as a crazed undead zombie that is very quick and savage. They will charge across the desert destroying anything in their path. Sometimes they come in small groups of six but sometimes in near small army sizes exceeding a hundred strong.” “Pathetic. Why don’t they just kill themselves?” “They cannot. Some think it is part of the curse and others say they have hope for a cure.” She looks at them as they leave and frowns. With a snort of disgust, she begins to release her psionic energy and destroys them from behind. They do not attack her nor flee. They accept the destruction. Nado silently looks at her. He is uncertain on her motives and cares less to know. 10th DAY OF 5TH MONTH Though the temperature exceeds 110 today, the caravan continues onward. Delphia continues to ignore the aarakocra whom is shy but seems to want to talk. Too bad for it. Late evening, just before setting up camp Turulkhan signals that he has spotted something. Nado looks out to the horizon and sees a cloud of dust. Something is coming at them at high speed on the ground. Spells are prepared, powers charged and weapons readied as it appears to be a group of humanoids. Then as they get to be about hundred feet away Nado recognizes the threat for what it is- Black Water Zombies! Two dozen of the creatures charge and overwhelm guards on crodlus. Some go after the mekillot even. It surprises them how fast these undead are for being zombie undead. Balik and Torruk work together trying to stop the undead from reaching the caravan. Several get past them and begin to climb up the wheels. Nado and other archers begin to shoot at them. Delphia summons small elementals of earth to try to stop the charging Black Water undead. The mekillot becomes enraged which makes it difficult for the caravan beast master to control the beast. It tramples four of the undead and begins to drag the caravan off the trade road into the desert. Some of the undead grab the edge of the wheel to be brought up while another if thrown back to the ground nearly being driven over. Guards and a crodlu are overwhelmed and taken down. The undead take a few bites then switch to attack the two warriors. The birdman flies above trying to shoot the undead as they race around the caravan side. Delphia begins to use her psionic powers now blasting at the undead as they try to climb from the top of the slowly rolling wheels to the caravan cart balcony where Nado and others are. The sun begins to set as the last of the undead are destroyed. [/QUOTE]
