[QUOTE="megamania, post: 7786440, member: 9255"] DARKSUN: THE ELEMENTS OF EVIL SEGMENT 047 “FEED THE NEED” 08/08/19 SEASON: FRIEND’S VENGEANCE YEAR 24 MONTH: THE WINDS DAY: 20 KA: 190 The “holes” in this rock butte are large enough to house a small fortress. The cavern tunnels lead to it and is where Koe, Drak and Olan have been led. Looking at these raiders, Koe notes they are not just Black Sand Raiders but a collection of others. Travelers, raiders, farmers…… all infected. Their infection seems greater or at least different. The eyes seem to lack emotion. They understand but seem unable to give commands. They are… undead. “She is hungry. Give the new race creature to her first.” Commands the young woman whom played the flute. Two men, one dressed as a Black Sand Raider and another wearing a symbol of House Stel pull the unconscious tiefling to the entrance to the tower of the fortress. Olan begins to awaken as he feels his body be placed on the stone floor of a tower. He opens his eyes and sees a large tree within the tower. It is blue with purple leaves and crimson colored vines. The trunk is swollen as if it had swallowed a large meal and now digests it. Then to his horror, he sees several bodies entangled within the vines! The two guards leave him. Drak and Koe test their ropes. Drak is poorly tied and the loops around his chitin shell slide and move around. Still entangled he begins to claw free. Koe kicks his guards as he struggles with his ropes. The vines from the tree begin to lower and drape themselves on Olan’s legs! Elsewhere, back at the entrance, Choro is becoming restless. “Danger is the wind: repeats the raider. Growing tired on it, Choro thumps him back to unconsciousness. He looks into the darkness of the cave and the rising sun…… Olan feels his body shift then his legs rise. “Uh….guys……?” and he begins to be dragged for a few feet as his legs are pulled and listed. Soon he finds himself being lifted into the air! The space is confined as Koe and Drak fight back. The sheer numbers of guards is overwhelming. Drak rips out the chest of one guard. This is when they learn these people are dead…. They are Undead. Olan is being lifted into the tree. Other bodies are here including one that opens and blinks his eye. Then Olan feels the thorns penetrate his legs. They are sticky and the pain is subtle. He has been injected by something! Koe fights on then is struck from behind. He drops to one knee. He is struck again….and again…. And again. Drak continues to struggle with his ropes as he swings and claws at anything touching him. Then Koe goes down. The undead continue their assault. Choro can’t take it anymore. He takes a torch and goes in. He ignores the statue (ugly thing) and nearly walks into a pit. Being more careful, he moves quickly around the several pits here. The next large cavern has a slightly lit section but the half-giant passes it. Have to hurry. Drak finally frees his arms and grabs Koe. “Sorry…..Olan….” kliks the thri-kreen as he turns and looks to escape. Choro comes into a cavern with a few doors. Looking at the floor….. he continues where the most traffic seemed to be. Choro hears someone in the darkness (the bard) but it doesn’t attack him. Then he hears a troubled dragging sound. Looking at the area Choro spots Drak and Koe. Koe is injured! Looking to help him, Choro moves to Koe. He is horrified- Koe is dead. Asking about Olan, they do go back to save him. Drak leaps up and cuts him free. Angry at the cause of the plague, Choro blasts the tree and sets it on fire. They turn and do not explore the fortress here. A woman, a plague victim, watches them. A druid? “With the death of…..the tree so comes….. the end of her….. children….. go….. and let me…. Grieve.” The group don’t care about the depressed undead and leave. THE WINDS DAY 27 Return to Draj. [/QUOTE]
