However, they quickly realize there is an almost endless stream of zombies, meaning they cannot defeat them all.  They try to enter the lighthouse while the zombies continue their assault.  Meanwhile, Bella, Ben's mechanical bird, flies up to attack Ottavia. Ottavia strikes the bird with such force using magic that it explodes.  During the fight, Morthos takes a heavy beating, and Ben falls unconscious.  At the same time, Aurelius is on his way to the island. He sees the zombies rising from the water but notices that all the zombies around him become stunned as he gets close. When Aurelius and the skipper arrive at the island, the skipper drops Aurelius off on the shore. Aurelius offers to bring the skipper along where it's safe(r), but the skipper refuses (due to a low Wisdom roll); he is too afraid of Aurelius.Aurelius also hears the voice, inviting him to come below in the name of the Dawnbringer. The voice feels familiar, as if she comes from his home plane. Intrigued, Aurelius heads toward the lighthouse entrance, where the rest of the group is holding off the zombies.  Ravarel manages to open the door. The zombies lose interest in the group and instead pour inside, heading up a staircase. Once everyone is inside, Ravarel shuts the door.  The voice continues to lure them downward.  Eventually, Morthos, Levi (Ben's mechanical dog), and Ravarel's mechanical spider descend into the depths. They find many rooms that have been completely looted. Heretical messages are scrawled on the walls.  As they move through the rooms, they finally reach a chamber containing several golden mirrors. In front of one of the mirrors sits an old man, dressed in tattered robes resembling those of a godhand (a type of priest) of the Clergy. The man rushes toward them and attacks.  Levi is struck down in one blow. Morthos carries Levi with him and retreats.  The voice tells them they will gain freedom if they free her from the man.<code class="bbCodeInline">Note: Because I wasn't able to travel to the location where we usually hold our sessions, we had an online session, using Roll20. This already gave this session a bit of a weird vibe. But then also this: the players really had no idea what they were 'supposed' to do on this island. After they saw Gene the godhand, they now don't trust the voice, so they don't want to fight him, just simply avoid him. I am curious how next session will go!</code><code class="bbCodeInline">Note: I have been uploading my Zeitgeist and WotBS logs daily for almost 2.5 months now, and I have finally caught up with where we are now with both games. It was lots of fun to relive all of the great D&D moments! But this means that my log updates will be a lot slower from now on. Both games are planned for every 2 weeks, but often there is a bit more time in between sessions due to circumstances. </code></blockquote>
