Guardians of the Magical Herbs/The Undead Incident

Soulreaver still knew he had his responsibilities to his guild. So he decided to continue his study on how undead react to the special herbs like he noticed when he was still a soldier. He still remembered the time he attacked those two monsters and won without even getting a scratch.

He got up from the books he was reading about the knowledge of the druids and got on his way. He couldn’t hire any troops as a priest so he decided to get a couple of followers to help him. He walks into lacint where everybody follows the order of the druids. He goes to the bar and there he gets to the middle of the room to get some people to join him. “ I’m looking for a couple of brave men who are willing to hep me on a dangerous mission that could benefit our realm greatly.” Five strong men stood up from their tables and followed Soulreaver out the door. One of the men walked next to Soulreaver and they got to talk a bit about the mission.

“ Sir what are we going to do that you need our help”
“ We’re going to capture an undead that still lives from the battle that happened this morning”
“ But sir that is suicide there are to many”
“ No they are scattered from the battle that happened a hour ago and we can easily capture one of them”

After a short walk they arrived at the place where the battle had happened. Soulreaver saw an undead hiding in the bushels that was disoriented from battle and they quickly captured the monsters and put it in a wooden cage they made a little bit earlier. And then they dragged the undead away and Soulreaver could finely start his investigation. He put a pot with herbs around the cage and ordered his men to light it. He let the smoke of the herbs reach the undead for a while and then he let the undead out of his cage. The men where scared at first but when they saw the monsters was loomy and couldn’t stand up straight they started to laugh. Soulreaver told them they had to test the undead. They started poking the monster and pushing it but it couldn’t do anything it was to slow and to disoriented. He lost a lot of his original strength and it was like everything was in reverse form him. Somebody attacked him on the left and he tried to hit somebody on his right. He looked like a dog that was trying to walk on 2 legs. The herbs where burned out but Soulreaver didn’t worry the effect would last a bit longer. Then Soulreaver saw his worst fear happening and he yelled.

“ NO DON’T DO THAT”.

But it was to late one of the men poured a bucket of water over the undead and it snapped out of his slumbering state. It began to attack the farmers but they didn’t stand a change. Soulreaver saw they were about to be slaughtered. He got under his robes and got out a small bag. It was the same thing as Arian used when he was helping Hector some time ago. He found the receipt in one of the druid books but it was very hard to produce because the thing he needed for it were very rare and it took him ages to get enough for just one. But he couldn’t let the men to be hurt they followed him in good fate and they had families to go back to, they where his responsibility. He ordered the men to get some space between them and the undead and he threw the bag. It landed at the feat of the undead and exploded leaving no trace of the undead being there. He escorted the men back to town and then he wrote his findings in a letter and told his scribe to give it to Kain. And he went to the market trying to find new ingredients for his weapon out of the druid books. It would be a long search just like last time.
