"Hiya Drakeys!" craw? "Thought you were dead, thought you were dead."   craw.  "Smarter than he looks, waaay smarter." cra-raw!!And so the party walked for several hours until there were almost to the path the Silverbrake told them about.  When they turned a bend, they were <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=671370" target="_blank">met by an odd sight</a>;  A <a href="http://i25.photobucket.com/albums/c83/penance_of_discord/wagon.jpg" target="_blank">travelers wagon</a> had been flipped over, scattering the items onto the highway.  However, Ostu was the first to see it:  a large pile of bodies in the middle of the road.  From where the party stood, it looked as if 4-5 travelers had been maimed and killed, bodies thrown into the middle of the road.  Some of the party started walking forward, but Luhal yelled "'Ware! Necromancy circle, 'round the bodies!"  With that, the party turned to hear an evil laughter coming from their right, in time to see a.. creature in black robes.  It was a huge thing, taller than any man, but its features were hidden by the dark robes.  Even at the distance they were at, the party noticed the glowing silver runes around the thing's robes, circling the bottom, the arms, and the hood.  But they weren't enchantment runes, or even some kind of protection.  It was almost as if it was imprisoned within the robes, tied to them like a slave to his chain.  Whatever they were, they didn't prevent it from dissapearing away with a spell that <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=671385" target="_blank">appeared like some kind of maximized Dimension Door.</a>  At that second, a glowing green light pulsed around the bodies in the road.  It wasn't a good green, but a putrid, rotting color.  Slowly, the bodies in the pile stood, revealing themselves as the monsters they had been turned into by the evil magics.  Now, the party faced their first threat.  The green color danced on the flesh of the undead, almost like blood pulsing through a human's veins.  Something made these undead unlike any other that had been seen before by any of the group.  Something in the monster's eyes... Hate.  The first monster staggered forward.Defend yourselves!</blockquote>
