[QUOTE="Erland, post: 2536510, member: 27386"] [b]Morwyn[/b] Once everyone's had a chance to get breakfast and tea, I'll share what I saw during my reconn. [COLOR=Lime]"Gentlemen, and gentlewoman, there's a suspiciously large compound, which can only be described as a fortress, in the eastern part of Mermaid's Rest. I hope that Rook can give you a decent description of the surface, since my perspective was rather unusual. However, underwater, there's a serious barbed wire net surrounding some sort of structure supported on pontoons. There are a number of strange barracuda-like fish defending the place; they visciously attacked a normal fish I herded into their area. I don't know anything more detailed than that. Here's what I suspect, though. I think the fish are some sort of zombie barracuda. If you remember, Mr. Tebbs mentioned that, when the Lorrainna Fare was taken, there was the "scent of decay" about her, like the dead hadn't been cared for. I asked, and was told that the scent was a dry smell, rather than a wet smell. I suspect that our foe is some sort of necromancer. That would explain the scent of decay and the unusual silence with which the attack was carried out. If I'm right, then the zombie barracuda point to the same conclusion. Mr. Storm's questions hinted at something similar, but he never saw fit to share his observations with us, so that's only speculation as well. Does that scenario fit with what you are thinking, or do you have other ideas?"[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
