| After searching the area for 3 hours, following trails and noises, you finally encounter an organized horde of highly disciplined and warlike undead.
They are led by an undead champion, an evil creature with more power and intelligence than the usual lot. Because you are close to home and familiar with the lay of the land, you are able to use the terrain to your advantage. The battle rages, you against the undead. Your blows land true, shattering them to dust left and right. The champion makes you sweat; he is quite the opponent. But in the end, he is just a pile of bones, too. Among what is left of the champion, you find treasures worth a total of 4 gold, 8 silver. It was interesting, working with a group. She had never done that before, outside of some early failed attempts in the far north. Someone else had done most of the legwork, finding the signs of an infestation in an abandoned warehouse in the docks, tracking them down into a cove underneath the piers, and returning the scouts and sentries to the dust they belonged to. Her first attempt on the cove had gone...Middling. She had destroyed a warband that was moving out to gather (and create) more corpses, but the noise had attracted too much attention and she had barely managed to escape from the whole horde that charged out. But yet again, someone had whittled down the horde. So Jacinda studied the area, closely, and found another entrance besides the well-guarded opening under the pier. And carefully making her way through a small tunnel where a pack of zombie dogs had retreated after a kill, she came upon them unawares. These ones were smart, and they reacted quickly, forming up around their champion. But that made hindered the champion while she picked off its guard, and eventually it was just her... And it. It looked almost elegant. Its bones were picked thoroughly clean, and shone in the lamplight. There was a silken cape covering part of its form, a knife covered with dried blood in its hand, and a large gemstone set in its forehead. As they circled each other, making occasional feints, she watched how it moved, seeing that it was not quite how a human with that form would be able to move the joints. So when she brought her mace in and shattered a few ribs, she was not completely surprised when the rest of the ribs lashed out at her. She managed to dance out of the way in time, and while there were some dicey moments, she methodically crushed bones until it could not evade well enough, and a final crack destroyed the gem, removing the animation from the dry bones. She paused a moment, gathering her breath, before gathering the knife, the cape, and everything else of value that she could find, before using a small keg of lantern oil she found to cover everything and light it on fire as she made her way out. The glowing fire behind her threw shadows across her face, and the red light danced in the tide, as a satisfied smile made its way across her face. "Ashes to ashes, dust to dust..." She looked down at the knife, the blood black in the night. "Athame crack from ruin and rust." She strode away as smoke filled the air, remembering another smoke-filled night she had been unable to prevent. | |

| Jetta closes her eyes, then sees strange books and what looks like what could be an ancient library. She sees what could be another adventurer with her. But suddenly a monster attacks and breaks Jetta's focus.
"This is not good at all..... though I can not rely solely on that vision. The future is in constant Flux. So that may not be what will happen." She stands up after being knocked from her vision. She proceeds to an inn to relax for a bit..... but then someone suddenly knock on her door.......... | |

| Nerta,
Something seems to be shrouding my visions. They are not nearly as clear as they use to be. I think a mystic force might be interfering with my abilities. I am going to investigate this further. | |

| Another champion. There has to be some evil force at work here. Some necromancer or evil priest raising the dead? Using dark magics to make them smarter and stronger? My gran told me stories like this.
After searching the area for 1 hours, following trails and noises, you finally encounter an organized horde of highly disciplined and warlike undead. They are led by an undead champion, an evil creature with more power and intelligence than the usual lot. You fight with zeal and strength - but the undead are unimpressed. They feel neither pain nor fear, but you do. Lots of it. Then you give up trying to defeat them and you only try to get away - but you find yourself surrounded! You fight on, desperately trying, and they beat on you without end. After what seems like eternity, you manage to break through their ranks. Exhausted and bleeding from many small cuts, you escape. A little rest and you will be ready again. | |

| The Old Man says it's the Valentic Catacombs. The faith created warens to house the dead and meet in secret. All in preparation for the final battle against the "betrayers". Since the bindings are failing that end might be close at hand. Or maybe the Crystal Maiden is just trying to stop us. | |

| Jetta becomes deadly wide eyed feeling the heavy presence of magic that she has never felt before.
"What is this?! This is definitely not normal magic!!!" She saw ravens flying in the sky. "By the Gods!! It's death magic!!!!" Jetta suddenly goes nuts and screams frantically with images of the possible future. Everyone suddenly looking at her as if she is having some kind of attack. "AHHHHHH MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!!! SO MANY IMAGES AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!" | |

| Screams.
At the sound of Jetta’s screams Nerta races down the gloomy hall, her torch roaring in her ears as she skids back into the central chamber they’d split from. Amidst the bones and niches dedicated to Valentic martyrs and believers languishes one living soul. Jetta’s arms and legs thrashing, racked by pain the usually dour woman wastes no time in coming to her companion’s aid. Strong hands grip at Jetta’s limbs, guiding the woman to rest against the side wall even as she hisses, “It’s okay. It’s okay. Focus on my voice. Focus here. It’s okay….” Wrestling with the bucking Augur, Nerta continues the litany of soothing words even as she glances about the room to make sure nothing else is sneaking up on them. | |

| Jetta suddenly calms down at the feel of Nerta and hearing her soothing voice. Jetta snaps out of it and grabs a hold of Nerta in an embrace.
"Thank you Nerta, thank you so much. I am so happy to have met you." Jetta then suddenly kissed Nerta on the cheek. Jetta passes out from exhaustion afterwards. | |

| Just like last time.
An exhausted Jetta in her arms, Nerta is forced to conclude Augurs are huggers. Cold too but that makes sense, they get their visions from the Ice Queen. Too many visions, too cold. So they hug. The frosty kiss is new though. Rubbing the spot with a bemused smile, Nerta glares at the specter’s silent comment before helping Jetta settle down on a bedroll. Time to keep watch then…. And maybe make some food, Jetta will be hungry when she wakes. | |
