An Undead Issue
11/2/26
Day 1
- Wake up at cottage, slept in
- Almorn looks like he knows Claudia
- Theo there to see us off, Sullivan taking a break, no sims around
- Makes magical bust sculptures of our likenesses
- Something going on in Cleaver’s, haven’t heard from them in a while
- Quiet night, imp guards expecting a fight
Day 2
- Lots of guards marching, few hundred, marching west
- Ask guy on dogback- where, why marching: been told to go west
- Chalcus is a vet, has chat with guy
- See’s Almorn’s signet ring, he’s also from a high house
- “Luck in the shadows” “And in the light” - secret handshake, prayer - rival shadow organisation - don’t let dad hear
- Lots of foot traffic
- Humanoid footprints in snow, bare, large
- Watch quiet
Day 3
- Chalcus tells us we’re maybe being watched
- Survey two hexes, both mostly well travelled, lots of bare footprints
- Camp in -5,0 again
- Dawn casts speak with plants before bed: the great bear shows up (wild magic hex)
- Night uneventful
Day 4 + 5
- big big footprints
- We think we’ve been following the wrong sort of footprints and backtrack a bit
TROLLS!

Final survey - 24 nature check, find remnants of a horse which has been eaten
Meet the spectral Sir Thalric, big guy, ghostly, lord knight of orzalon crown - eshor region
Very orderly, very knightly, serving crown after death
Come back with Ember to talk to him about the crown - bring a drink to pour on his grave, rum or whiskey
Imp guards are treading into “his brother’s lands” where they won’t come back - far northwest there is another creature like forest of silence
“Heavy was the head that bore the crown, heavier are the backs that bore it.”
Claudia is awake when I get back.
